I'm not familiar with taproot in-depth but I also don't see it as
significantly related to privacy.

There's enough research out there to make bitcoin networks very, very
anonymous, in ways that are normalised and maintainable and simplify the
codebase.

Software was different before 2014, and that shows in the design of
lightning.  The bitcoin devs got split into factions etc.  It's recorded
history.

There's been a lot of excitement over the lightning network in some groups
of people.  Who uses it?  What is it used for, in the wild?

Anyway, it's cool to see that bitcoin's dev process has found ways to
continue innovating and it seems to be building on that more and more.

#Log4J based on what I've seen, there is evidence that a worm will be developed for this in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Self propagating with the ability to stand up a self hosted server on compromised endpoints.

In addition to spraying traffic, dropping files, it will have c2c

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.

The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who takes things that are yours and mine.

The poor and wretched don’t escape
If they conspire the law to break;
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law.

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.

Hey Gunnar,

You're repeating some themes here and it's not totally clear to follow.

Are you saying you're experiencing targeting similar to havana syndrome and
are asking for help?

Or are you referencing something different?

The following guesses have not been authorised by the department of
psychotronic wizardry:

If it's something similar to havana syndrome, there are basically two
options: comply or resist.  Complying is safer but may mean significantly
altering your life.  It helps if you are part of a large group with
well-funded goals that could help protect you, and have a psychiatrist.

Resisting can sometimes offer protection too.  One strategy is to
demonstrate that you are an expert at some of the things going on, and use
public logging.  Emotions matter: don't hold the situation with anger,
rather curiosity and casual familiarity, as if you handle it all the time.
Just guesses, hard to talk about this straight.

Though much better applied usage howto's exist than those above,
it has already been noted that these blockchain broadcast messaging,
balances, private bidding and guessing are how anyone can
run a Prediction Market. Apparently no one has to date.
Those who can make a better weather prediction
will earn crypto from those needing better predictions
via the markets prediction operators. Simplistic, works.

Kunt Kathy flexes her newly appointed Government labia,

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/ny-gov-kathy-hochul-imposes-statewide-mask-mandate-violators-face-criminal-penalties-1000-fine/

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul reinstated the statewide indoor maks
mandate on Friday, warning New Yorkers who fail to comply with the
mandate will face a $1,000 fine.
In a press conference, Hochul warned New York would require another
lockdown if its residents failed to wear the masks in all indoor
venues.
We are enacting a statewide indoor mask mandate unless a business has
a vaccination mandate.
The governor claimed overreaching mask and vaccine mandates
implemented in New York City under Mayor Bill De Blasio are effective
and the rest of the New York state should follow suit.

Meanwhile, vax and mask both proven not to work as such...

Hey zeynep, I imagine this is a great fun share for analysts, and I see the
files are named based on their sha256sum which is super helpful in a
situation like this.

Are you able to rebundle them without the password?
