Just a day after Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposed turning the Post Officie into a bank for poorer Americans, the U.S. Postal Service reported losing $2.1 billion in just three months. Yikes.

An interesting look into CryptoCapital, shows the lengths (often shady) custodial exchanges have to go to to manage their fiat:

#Whirlpool mixes have 100% entropy, 0 deterministic links, never use a prev tx >1x in the inputs, and no "unmixed change". Free ride as long as you want to reach desired anonymity set.🏃🏻♂️🌀🌪️😎 Unfairly fast & unfairly inexpensive. Implementations: GUI, CLI, & #SamouraiWallet
Excited to see the first Whirlpool transaction hitting mainnet. Every Whirlpool transaction is 100% max possible entropy, 100% max wallet efficiency, with 0 deterministic links. Every. single. time. https://oxt.me/transaction/a554db794560458c102bab0af99773883df13bc66ad287c29610ad9bac138926
Some interesting stuff on formal code verification, I wonder if it can be applied some day to improve #Bitcoin crypto libraries:

Journalism is at risk not just from government but from media types who see their jobs as protecting the powerful from embarrassment.

ICYMI: #FreeSoftware #Privacy developer Ola Bini, currently a major contributor to the OTR encrypted messaging protocol, has been detained with no or flimsy charges for 4+ days and counting in Ecuador. "Evidence" included having technical books and too many devices. They say he'll be held up to 90 days while they "develop charges" against him.

Stackoverflow's yearly survey included questions about "blockchain", looks like most developers don't get it (yet!)
URGENT: Julian Assange did not "walk out of the embassy". The Ecuadorian ambassador invited British police into the embassy and he was immediately arrested.

British police arrested Julian Assange. Prosecuting him would gravely threaten press freedom #ReasonRoundup

This podcast answers many questions about how our rulers use money to covertly enslave us, thank you @TheCryptoconomy for bringing to light another excellent essay:
@Sosthene Well lots were good. I think I particularly liked the demonstration of abcore - Udi ( @udiWertheimer , first day) demo-ed installing a full node on an Android TV device!.
Also enjoyed looking at the goTenna operating to broadcast a transaction ( Richard Myers, second day afternoon)
