Some time ago I played around with an Android bitcoin wallet which consisted of two apps. One could only sign tnxs and the other was a watch-only wallet. The idea was to run the apps on separate phones, where one phone would act as a hardware wallet. Does anyone happen to remember the name of this app?

'PolyNetwork has also asked "miners of affected blockchain and crypto exchanges to blacklist tokens" from the exploiter's addresses. In response, Tether said it froze $33 million in USDT connected to the attack...'
I don't see how this is different from the 2008 bailouts.

Wow, after 25 years of Unix experience, I learned that you can filter output in #less.
Press ampersand (&) and enter a regex to show only lines matching the regex.
Press ampersand (&) and then exclamation mark (!) to apply an inverse filter.

Given the abundant theft that keeps happening within those so-called DeFi projects due to their ironic centralized control, I'm grateful for the thoughtfulness that went into the @Bisq DAO. It may not be apparent in the sensational media, but I believe that the Bitcoin ecosystem has the better toys.

@CryptoTweetie As a bitcoin-only user, I appreciate that @Coinkite anr @nvk want to keep their talents focused on a product that does one thing well — secure my bitcoin. I don’t want their research+dev efforts, budget, and talent spread thin supporting the shifting winds of shitcoin trading.
