Bitcoin Association statement: Zero-tolerance for illegal attacks on the Bitcoin SV network.
Jul 8, 2021
"In parallel, Bitcoin Association has communicated directly with exchanges about the ongoing illegal activity and have advised them to freeze deposits attempted from any addresses associated with the malicious actor’s illegal double-spend activity. This has become standard practice for exchanges when they receive notice of coin addresses that have been involved in thefts, hacks or other illegal activities. Some exchanges may elect to take additional protective measures at their discretion."

🛑 📥 #Europa | El Parlamento Europeo aprueba Chatcontrol, la monitorización masiva de mensajería y email.

Por 537 votos a favor, se ha aprobado en el Parlamento Europeo la derogación de ePrivacy y la instauración de Chatcontrol, lo que supone la monitorización masiva de comunicaciones electrónicas de mensajería instantánea y correo electrónico que permitirá acceder a los contenidos de las comunicaciones electrónicas.

Desde la UE se pretende con esta iniciativa obligar a las plataformas electrónicas, desde Gmail a WhatsApp y similares, a instalar en sus herramientas una “puerta trasera” que, en caso de necesidad decretado por las autoridades, permita acceder a los contenidos de la comunicaciones privadas de sus usuarios. Esta medida va dirigida en principio a combatir la pornografía infantil, pero es indudable que tendrá más ramificaciones en un futuro.

Chatcontrol permitirá a los proveedores de servicios de comunicación electrónica efectuar búsquedas en los mensajes que sean susceptibles de presentar contenidos sospechosos, reportándolo a las autoridades policiales.

"Ian Grigg discussed the latter’s 1996 invention, the Ricardian contract and how it compares to today’s smart contracts."



"....the cypherpunk community in the 1990s, a circle he actively participated in. According to Grigg, great ideas sprang from the community but were met with scrutiny after undergoing the court of public opinion. “Some people believe them, but others would stand back and say, hold on, you’ve got a great idea, it makes logical sense, but it’s never going to happen because you get shut down or this will happen or that will happen.”


"...Grigg recounts the first time he met Craig in 2015. He admits to having an inkling that Craig was a key member of the Satoshi team even before they had actually met. Grigg mentions that in the encounter, Craig was able to speak to him in detail and with great knowledge and information only Satoshi would know. “Each of those tests indicate very strongly that Craig was capable of doing this, knew about this sort of stuff, he actually had the serious security chops to be able to do this and he knew some things on the inside which nobody else would know.”
