If one proposal excited attendees at the recent Scaling Bitcoin workshop in Hong Kong, Bitcoin Core and Blockstream, it was developer Dr. Pieter Wuille’s Segregated Witness. The benefit of Wuille’s Segregated Witness proposal that has perhaps drawn most attention, is that the removal of signatures from 1 megabyte blocks could...
Hacking
There are many, many other types of middlemen in the Bitcoin system now, including sellers of Bitcoin-specific hardware and server farms that have monopolized the creation of new Bitcoins. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that allows participants to digitally transfer units of bitcoin without a trusted intermediary. If...

RWNJs spent more time today demonizing COVID data whistleblower Rebekah Jones rather than focusing on the various data violations and network attacks happening regionally, causing panics over fuel supplies. The real news is the ransom amount of 5 million dollars paid to the Russian hacking group. Colonial Pipeline paid $5m ransom to...
The Biden administration has disclosed for the first time that a Russian agent who received internal polling data from the Trump campaign in 2016 passed it along to Russia’s intelligence services.

Another thought before Trump’s presidency (hopefully) slips into distant memory. One of the many truly odd things about Trump’s presidency was that he insisted on, and got away with, using his personal cell phone all the time — which is an absolute security nightmare because it is unsecured and is listened to by who...
Don’t listen to any lizard people this year. x Greetings from the White House. Trump appears to be tweeting and watching OANN from the Oval Office this New Year’s Day. The press pool has not been covid-tested for a second day in a row. pic.twitter.com/jtFidJ3TZZ— Sophia Cai (@SophiaCai99) January 1,...
Apparently, Sen. Marco Rubio is sitting in his office planning a strategy around selling prayer cloths. Judging from his recent spate of religiosity on his Twitter feed, do not be surprised to see Rubio wearing sandals, draped in a mantle with tassels. His time might be better spent sewing protective...
There will be plenty of memorials to the Trump reign, but the most significant one will be the betrayal of democracy. It raises the matter of Washington Monument sized piles of information stolen from the US government. But maybe he’ll be remembered for promising some of his advisors that “he will refuse...
“The hack is seen as so significant that a National Security Council meeting was held at the White House on Saturday over it, according to Reuters.” Because having at Commerce, a former head of a bank known for Russian money laundering in Cyprus and a Treasury head who approved lifting financial...
As usual GOP/Trumpian evidence makes no sense and given the Impeachment, will not make a difference. Some of us have held out hope for Tara Reade to make an appearance. x Trump aides have been telling people that the big surprise in store for tonight's debate is he's bringing Tony...
Assuming that there will be some violent provocations, we should encourage all deescalation efforts for election week, regardless of the vote outcomes. We’ve now seen the potential for serious planned electoral violence with the attempts on the governor of Michigan and the mayor of Wichita. We’ve also seen long-term confrontations in...
The toast is not yet burnt. Trump will need to win all three events. Won’t happen because all Trump has are bizarre lies and falsehoods. x One week from today, President Trump and former VP Biden will meet on the debate stage for the first time. Rachel @Maddow, @NicolleDWallace, @JoyAnnReid...
The Trump Administration does not dispute that Dana Rohrabacher and Charles Johnson offered Assange a pardon from Trump if he would say Russia had nothing to do with the DNC Wikileaks. Assange was offered presidential pardon to help 'resolve' Russia's role in the DNC hack and cover up links...

This is infuriating: After a Hall County Democratic Party virtual meeting was interrupted by hackers targeting a U.S. Senate candidate, Georgia Democrats are criticizing the hackers’ racist messages and calling for unity. The local Democrats hosted a Zoom meeting the evening of Monday, Aug. 24, with U.S. Senate candidate the...
Even the pandemic and Kushner’s role in the connections to Russia demonstrate how much the Kremlin remains operative in WH decision-making. If nothing else, the GOP platform is attracted to one strong-man, one-party rule. x 😳 The GOP just announced that there is no 2020 platform this year other than...
The Trump crime spree continues and the carnage cannot be commuted because Roger Stone remains a convicted felon. Trump’s minions have all but declared victory now that Trump put on a mask, like 134,000 deaths don’t count. x Retweet if you agree trump is the most corrupt president in United...
The placing of 90 op-eds in a range of 40+ media outlets signals some real disinformation problems at work. One guess is that one of many (Saudi/UAE/Russia?) intelligence services have been doing this. This Daily Beast article shows how deep the information battle operates. http://www.thedailybeast.com/… Badani is part of a...
Trump Claims Americans 'Want Law and Order' Policing Whether They Know It or Not The cost of National Guard deployment in recent DC protests cost $21 million. x 1. Based on Wikipedia, it appears that 23 people have died during the George Floyd protests (even though the entry says 22,...
Trump is doing PR for Antifa in his speeches and makes tweets that only draw attention from the reality of 105,000 COVID deaths. More insidiously, it promotes the agenda of white nationalist groups like Identity Evropa. Black Lives mothers, #BlackLivesMaters? Trump as well as Matt Gaetz are somehow coordinating to disinform the public by...
The Atlantic has a great piece about how U.S. Senator Cory Gardner’s (R. CO) loyalty to Trump is going to cost him big time this year: These days, Trump’s hold on the GOP base is so total that Republican incumbents around the country cross him at their peril. Tribal loyalty...
To be clear, I do not condone this. Not at all. And, unlike Trump, if someone came to me with this kind of information, I’d contact the FBI immediately — not say, “I love it, especially later in the summer.” Because, you know, I’m a real American with real American values,...
The Great Orange Shitgibbet ™ has always operated on the “divide and conquer” principle. He has said he loves chaos, but what that also means is that he loves division, so that people get so busy fighting each other they are unable to unite against him. That strategy worked to...
The Louisville Courier-Journal editorial board called it a “procoronavirus” protest rally that occured yesterday in Frankfort. Joseph Gerth just called them “idiots.” I think both are correct, and it was an “idiotic procoronavirus” rally. Approximately 100 of the worst in humanity showed up to chant and try to disrupt Kentucky...
Giving the GOP emergency powers is another scheme to loot the treasury, much like the attempts to defund social security and Medicare. So much cynicism in the GOP pimping a stimulus package that favors corporate income. x Sen. Jeff Merkley explains why Senate Democrats blocked Mitch McConnell's corrupt coronavirus stimulus...
With the coronavirus starting to spread, we should think of ways to deal with the pandemic since containment now looks impossible. The best way to save the election of 2020 might be to allow all voters to Vote By Mail as some states already do. All states allow some absentee voting,...
So when do we start interfering in Russian elections? I know ..I know… we can’t do that but this crap is an act of war. We are a soverign nation or supposed to be. If I wanted to be Russian with a Russian run country, I would fly my ass off...

The disinformation persists as Trump’s “perfect” shake down conversation with Ukraine president Zelensky only appears to be unrelated to the actual Russian hacking campaigns that helped elect him.

The AP in a new article narrates the path of the disinformation campaign related to the lie that Ukraine is the villain of the 2016 election interference in the US. Getting past it as a lingering media frame remains as the GOP keeps propping it up. The problem remains that...
Keeping Trump in power might be the best Iranian revenge for the assassination of Qasem Suliemani. One view could be that Trump, as a natural coward will ultimately reduce US forces and cede Middle East political influence to his masters in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Russia, despite his preference for empty posturing...
The House voted both impeachment articles and Trump seemed to be in denial during his speech in Battle Creek Michigan at a 10,000 seat arena. “I'm the first person to ever get impeached and there's no crime. Like, I feel guilty.” Trump: “By the way, it doesn't really feel like...
If you believe, as I do, that Donald Trump is an ineluctably expanding blob of id that would swallow up the solar system if we let him, this won’t come as a surprise. Nor should it. The alleged pee tape incident, it seems, wasn’t the only salacious story Christopher Steele...
About a year and a half ago, Politico posted this story — ‘Too inconvenient’: Trump goes rogue on phone security — which reported how his refusal to use secure communications devices posed a security risk. Staff spent a lot of time trying to persuade him that his use of an...
Some stochastic terroirism(sic) this morning as we approach another important week of some historic events that still boil down to some rather simple impeachable actions.

The Trump Doral-G7 announcement was designed to draw attention from Turkey-Syria warfare and #Trumpeachment. Unfortunately, Mick Mulvaney’s set-to with the press over the Ukraine quid pro quo did demonstrate the continuing messaging incompetence of the WH. Hours later, Mulvaney made a clumsy attempt to disinform the confession of what seems plainly...
As we wait for more whistle-blower news and an inevitable flurry of Trumpian disinformation and diversions, we need to review that Trump’s impeachable offense in Ukraine was also a move in a corruption history favoring Russia back through Manafort. Trump’s hold on Congressional aid to Ukraine also favored a Russian-backed rebel buildup...
The Trumpists are trying anything that will draw your attention away from the 25 July “favor” request for dirt in exchange for releasing arms. The greatest irony is Trumpian claims that they were combating corruption (by being corrupt). x Cuomo to Rudy Giuliani: “Did you ask the Ukraine to investigate...
I watched Rachel Maddow interview Ambassador McFaul this evening, and a number of things about this whole unholy mess became clear. Let me see if I can lay it out: In 2014, Russia invades the Crimea. In response, Obama and the EU impose sanctions and kick Russia out of the...
