calle 👁️⚡👁️ (npub12rv…85vg) shares an interesting historical article on Digicash and why it failed, with implications for Cashu and #bitcoin
How DigiCash Blew Everything

Fascinating background article on why Ecash failed in the 90s. The digital payments landscape would look completely different if they hadn't.

We'll do it better this time with Cashu and #Bitcoin.

I serve #Bitcoin and hope to never get corrupted. To ensure this I'm designating nodes:
Pavlenex (npub1za0…dur3) Gigi ⚡🧡 (npub1der…xzpc) Izzy (npub13ds…zmwf) Marce (npub1y67…q62h) MILLS (npub12hs…ua2n) johnkvallis (npub1cqm…hjec) Jeff Booth (npub1s05…eyhe) miles (npub1ds3…hzcn)

If the majority of them say that I am corrupted - then I am. If corruption happens, they will announce it together and provide a path to redemption.

Metr0pl3x (npub1gd3…cn8c) discusses a new firmware vulnerability that is being exploited by forensics companies to obtain data from devices not at rest. See linked thread for more info and how you can mitigate the issue until a fix is made.
CONTINUED

We've currently reported these issues for Pixels and will be filing similar issues with Samsung. We don't have as much leaked information about how they're doing it for Galaxy phones, but we can propose the same generic mitigations eliminating the main classes of vulnerabilities.

Secure element throttling is crucial to secure typical lock methods like a random 6 digit PIN or even a typical passphrase. Non-Pixel/non-iPhone devices are mostly missing it so data isn't safe even at rest for typical lock methods (much less than 7-8 random diceware words).

Pixels have used a secure element for this since the Pixel 2, but the NXP and ARM secure core Titan M1 had a fair number of vulnerabilities. Pixel 6 substantially improved this, so there's more focus on ever at exploiting the OS / firmware while the device isn't at rest.

For nearly any current generation secure element, there will likely eventually be a firmware vulnerability discovered. If you want to completely rule out a brute force, use a strong random passphrase. Can take good advantage of each user profile having separate encryption keys.

GrapheneOS has been heavily focused on securing against remote attacks and also providing privacy/security from apps. Those features make physical exploits harder, but we plan to add more features focused on it alongside auto-reboot and blocking new USB peripherals while locked.

Many apps and operating systems implement insecure duress features which can be bypassed. They do a standard wipe via reboot to recovery, which can be easily interrupted. Our implementation avoids this and will be shipped soon. However, we also proposed it to Android for the API.

Android 12 device admin API for disabling USB data is disappointing, since it's similar to what we already did and doesn't disable data lines.

Our default auto-reboot timer will be reduced from 72 hours. We also plan to add more attack surface reductions and other mitigations.

cameri (npub1qqq…n47m) Nostream v1.26.0 update, see note for details
Nostream v1.26.0 has been released

https://github.com/Cameri/nostream/compare/v1.25.2...v1.26.0

IMPORTANT: Back up your database before upgrading to this version. A new migration will populate the event_tags database before starting the relay and it can take many hours.

### Bug Fixes

* `invoice.verifyURL` undefined from lnurl processor getInvoice
* deleting parameterized replaceable event before event
* strange behavior with nip 33 parameterized replacable events and nip 40 expiration tag

### Features

* add nodeinfo support (thanks Alex Gleason (npub108p…yev6))
* Add event_tags table and migration script (thanks imksoo (npub1vd9…wen9) )


jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) shares scroll performance fixes we can soon expect, and also shares some of the frustrating problems when working with Apple platform smartphones, pressing the benefits for FOSS.
99% of swiftui scroll performance issues is due to a bug that apple hasn’t fixed for 2+ years. If they just open sourced their toolkits we could fix it for them. This is the bug that damus and nostur have to deal with and we literally can’t do anything about it Fabian (npub1n0s…lahe) . Open source is good for your company. People will fix stuff if you don’t have the time to do so.

Think i finally figured out how to fix scroll performance in damus. I got it as smooth as X now.
