00:05.260 --> 00:12.840
The Monerotopia Weekly News segment is sponsored by WizardSwap.io, a non-custodial cryptocurrency exchange.

00:14.900 --> 00:18.940
All right, we got a wizard swap up here one of these days, too.

00:19.860 --> 00:23.700
A lot of instant exchanges out there right now, so they're all, you know, they're all competing.

00:24.360 --> 00:32.080
And obviously some are, I guess, better than others in terms of price, in terms of whether or not they shock on KYC.

00:32.720 --> 00:35.280
But it's interesting to see the amount of them.

00:35.480 --> 00:42.260
And I think, you know, a lot of that ecosystem is growing out of the, you know, the need there for people to get into Monero, right?

00:42.460 --> 00:47.860
So the instant exchanges have really been a very large on-ramp off-ramp for people.

00:48.860 --> 00:50.940
This is, yeah, this is very much true.

00:51.500 --> 00:59.740
And I like WizardSwap in the, the stances they take that most instant exchanges can't do or aren't willing to do.

00:59.740 --> 01:05.740
So anyways, that being said, let's get into the news.

01:06.560 --> 01:07.480
Hold up my screen here.

01:08.020 --> 01:10.900
We've got 353 live viewers right now.

01:11.740 --> 01:13.400
Keep, keep getting the word out, guys.

01:13.700 --> 01:15.940
Retweet it, share it, grow it.

01:18.220 --> 01:19.200
All right, guys.

01:19.460 --> 01:20.700
So first news link here.

01:20.820 --> 01:27.360
We've got a tweet from Click Wireless as a privacy and security-focused nationwide wireless provider that has solved the SimSwap attack problems.

01:27.360 --> 01:29.000
Oh, wait, bring up your screen.

01:29.260 --> 01:29.780
Are you showing the screen?

01:30.320 --> 01:31.460
Oh, I shared it.

01:31.600 --> 01:32.100
Let's bring it up.

01:32.200 --> 01:32.440
There we go.

01:32.500 --> 01:32.860
Sorry, guys.

01:34.880 --> 01:43.580
First news link is a tweet from Cloaked Wireless as a privacy and security-focused nationwide wireless provider that has solved the SimSwap attack problem.

01:43.700 --> 01:47.340
Should we accept hashtag Monero in addition to BTC and credit cards?

01:48.260 --> 01:53.540
And overwhelmingly majority of this poll was yes, Monero for extra privacy.

01:54.220 --> 02:00.580
So based on this poll result, it looks like Cloaked Wireless will most likely add support from Monero.

02:00.740 --> 02:15.720
Cloaked Wireless is a more privacy and security-oriented service, cellular service provider, and they take extra care to not just let some underpaid support staff give away your access to your phone number.

02:16.580 --> 02:20.000
If because somebody says it's theirs, claims it's theirs.

02:20.640 --> 02:21.320
Very cool.

02:21.560 --> 02:25.740
And they accept Bitcoin right now and looks like they'll accept Monero very soon.

02:26.000 --> 02:26.540
So awesome.

02:26.740 --> 02:27.300
Good to see that.

02:27.620 --> 02:29.900
I'll definitely be trying their service out if they accept Monero.

02:30.060 --> 02:30.700
That's a pretty big deal.

02:31.340 --> 02:33.400
Yeah, I've been DMing with them.

02:33.620 --> 02:41.180
I told them once they add, we can add them to Adoption Alley and get them up on XMR Bizarre as a Monero accepting business.

02:41.980 --> 02:42.560
That'd be super cool.

02:42.880 --> 02:45.260
Yeah, we have a lot of other great options for phone numbers.

02:45.720 --> 02:53.560
Like Silent Link and JNP.Chat, but those ones are JNP.Chat's VoIP number and then Silent Link is inbound only not out.

02:54.060 --> 03:02.980
This would be one of the first ones that lets you actually do in and outbound SMS and voice with a real phone number is what it looks like with the monthly plan.

03:03.080 --> 03:03.500
So very cool.

03:03.620 --> 03:04.380
Very cool to see that.

03:06.080 --> 03:08.120
Next up we get a tweet from Jeremy Kaufman.

03:08.220 --> 03:09.180
I saw this one earlier this week.

03:09.300 --> 03:09.760
It's pretty funny.

03:09.960 --> 03:10.960
I'll go ahead and play this video.

03:11.280 --> 03:13.380
The FBI visited my house today for free speech acts.

03:13.480 --> 03:14.420
They knew we're not crimes.

03:14.420 --> 03:16.240
You can see the shame on their faces.

03:16.520 --> 03:18.020
This is the Democratic regime manifest.

03:18.260 --> 03:18.800
Let's play this video.

03:27.480 --> 03:27.840
Yeah.

03:29.260 --> 03:29.860
Here we are.

03:30.780 --> 03:32.880
This is like the most badass.

03:33.220 --> 03:34.160
Can you give your full name, please?

03:34.280 --> 03:34.480
Welcome.

03:37.800 --> 03:41.260
Is that sufficient to identify as the only one Adonal affiliated with the FBI?

03:42.800 --> 03:44.160
Could you please state your full name, sir?

03:44.840 --> 03:46.000
Could you please stop recording?

03:46.340 --> 03:46.560
No.

03:47.140 --> 03:47.820
It's the first member, right?

03:48.420 --> 03:49.080
What's your name, sir?

03:49.080 --> 03:51.580
Can you please stop recording?

03:52.040 --> 03:52.580
Absolutely not.

03:52.980 --> 03:54.080
You can show me your name and identification.

03:54.540 --> 03:55.620
Oh, I'm going to go back and set my house.

03:57.320 --> 03:58.700
I don't really want to broadcast.

03:59.480 --> 04:02.080
Oh, this is going out right after you guys walk away.

04:02.100 --> 04:04.240
So you can show me your name or ID.

04:04.400 --> 04:04.880
You can walk away.

04:07.920 --> 04:09.340
I'm not going to talk to people

04:09.340 --> 04:10.340
who claim to be federal agents

04:10.340 --> 04:11.640
unless they can show me identification.

04:13.600 --> 04:14.580
Do you see our badges?

04:15.440 --> 04:16.800
I need to see...

04:16.800 --> 04:17.800
Is your full name on that badge?

04:18.080 --> 04:18.240
No.

04:18.240 --> 04:20.660
I'd like to see something with your full name

04:20.660 --> 04:22.060
or I'm not going to talk to you.

04:23.420 --> 04:26.260
This will be going online as soon as you walk away.

04:27.720 --> 04:30.720
All I want to do is talk to you about a post that was made.

04:32.060 --> 04:35.080
I want to talk to you about you guys coming here.

04:36.100 --> 04:39.860
Say you make a salary of, I don't know what, low 100k.

04:40.060 --> 04:40.760
You guys making six figures?

04:41.760 --> 04:45.800
Factor in 50% expenses, overhead, maybe 100% expenses.

04:47.080 --> 04:50.120
I'm talking about burning a couple hundred dollars an hour just here,

04:50.120 --> 04:51.940
let alone all the time you guys are spending

04:51.940 --> 04:54.860
to investigate something that you know is not against the law.

04:55.300 --> 04:58.020
So then why would you come?

05:00.620 --> 05:03.980
No, you're coming because you're part of a regime

05:03.980 --> 05:05.420
that does this kind of thing

05:05.420 --> 05:07.400
when you know laws aren't being broken.

05:07.920 --> 05:09.300
And that's an embarrassment, man.

05:09.720 --> 05:11.140
Didn't you guys read the Constitution?

05:11.340 --> 05:12.320
Do you not believe in America?

05:13.000 --> 05:14.800
Like how do you do your jobs and go home?

05:16.060 --> 05:17.020
You're walking away.

05:17.440 --> 05:19.240
Because nothing we did is against the law

05:19.240 --> 05:22.760
and you guys are fuckheads that try to act like bullies.

05:22.960 --> 05:24.780
And I hope you go home and are embarrassed.

05:25.100 --> 05:27.800
You can't even say your name on camera

05:27.800 --> 05:30.120
because you know that what you're doing is embarrassing.

05:30.440 --> 05:32.540
You know Americans that believe in the Constitution

05:32.540 --> 05:33.560
think you're laughable.

05:33.920 --> 05:36.260
And you go home and you think about what you did today.

05:36.560 --> 05:38.000
Go home and think about it.

05:38.460 --> 05:39.120
You coward.

05:40.280 --> 05:41.080
Drive away.

05:43.480 --> 05:44.260
Drive away.

05:44.260 --> 05:45.140
Thank you for your time.

05:45.420 --> 05:46.320
You're not welcome.

05:46.780 --> 05:47.640
You should be embarrassed.

05:49.380 --> 05:49.980
Embarrassing.

05:50.420 --> 05:51.500
You guys are embarrassing.

05:55.240 --> 05:56.720
This is insane.

05:59.440 --> 06:01.920
I mean, he really nailed it.

06:02.660 --> 06:05.320
He owned that moment.

06:05.620 --> 06:07.520
We've had Jeremy Kaufman on the show before.

06:08.500 --> 06:13.120
He's the creator of a library, which the SEC went after.

06:13.740 --> 06:14.120
Yep.

06:14.520 --> 06:15.780
And he's one of the original founders

06:15.780 --> 06:16.880
of the Free State Project.

06:17.100 --> 06:17.580
Can I remember correctly?

06:18.340 --> 06:18.520
Yeah.

06:19.720 --> 06:22.060
It's funny how he treated them like little children,

06:22.420 --> 06:24.420
like dad, go to your room.

06:24.660 --> 06:25.860
Don't think about what you've done.

06:26.980 --> 06:27.340
It's great.

06:27.620 --> 06:29.660
They were coming to his house.

06:30.120 --> 06:32.260
The way he owned that conversation,

06:32.500 --> 06:34.460
because they're like, we're here to talk to you about it.

06:34.580 --> 06:36.220
And then he just stopped them right there.

06:36.320 --> 06:38.760
He's like, well, I'm here to talk to you about this.

06:39.180 --> 06:40.220
And that was it.

06:40.340 --> 06:41.740
He just owned it at that point.

06:41.740 --> 06:43.380
And it's true.

06:43.560 --> 06:47.080
Why are federal agents showing up at people's homes

06:47.700 --> 06:51.020
in their black SUVs knocking on their door

06:51.020 --> 06:53.400
and intimidating them about things

06:53.400 --> 06:55.080
they've posted on the internet?

06:55.960 --> 06:56.100
Yeah.

06:56.180 --> 06:58.520
I don't even know what this was relating to specifically.

06:58.780 --> 07:01.100
And they're admitting there was no law broken.

07:01.800 --> 07:01.980
Yeah.

07:02.340 --> 07:04.000
We just came to talk to you.

07:04.220 --> 07:06.500
So now the federal government is just

07:06.500 --> 07:07.520
going to come and knock on our door

07:07.520 --> 07:11.360
and give us advice on how we should be doing things,

07:11.360 --> 07:13.300
even if we're following the law.

07:14.940 --> 07:18.700
That is just, wow, complete overbreach

07:18.700 --> 07:21.380
and a real fuck up on their part.

07:21.440 --> 07:23.020
Because I mean, this thing has gone completely.

07:23.340 --> 07:24.700
I mean, this has been happening for quite a while,

07:24.820 --> 07:27.600
but I'm glad that someone like Jeremy Kauffman

07:27.600 --> 07:29.840
can totally just get in their face

07:29.840 --> 07:31.380
and basically tell them to fuck off.

07:33.340 --> 07:33.980
It's great.

07:34.480 --> 07:35.600
Cecil, tip, 25 cents.

07:35.800 --> 07:37.400
Go home and think about what you did.

07:37.620 --> 07:37.960
This is funny.

07:38.180 --> 07:40.900
I think we had another couple of super chats up here.

07:40.900 --> 07:41.560
I don't know if these are read.

07:41.860 --> 07:42.980
I know UK tip, 25 cents.

07:43.160 --> 07:43.700
Thank you, DevRick.

07:44.340 --> 07:46.340
And XMR PDP, tip $1.

07:46.640 --> 07:47.960
Thank you, Senita, for hosting last week

07:47.960 --> 07:48.880
while Doug was busy.

07:49.740 --> 07:51.840
Doug, he's in the chat for DevRick and Senita.

07:54.880 --> 07:57.220
And yes, Roy, the link will be in the description

07:57.220 --> 08:00.520
once they get uploaded after the stream to all the tweets.

08:01.780 --> 08:02.260
All right.

08:02.420 --> 08:06.880
So next up, we've got a tweet from Mr. Brainship Elon.

08:07.650 --> 08:08.740
Uh, troubling.

08:09.060 --> 08:11.140
Hillary Clinton suggests yelling Americans

08:11.140 --> 08:12.820
for posting misinformation.

08:13.760 --> 08:17.020
Engaged and boosting Trump back in 2016.

08:17.580 --> 08:19.240
But I also think there are Americans

08:19.240 --> 08:24.260
who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.

08:24.780 --> 08:26.960
And whether they should be civilly

08:26.960 --> 08:30.080
or even in some cases criminally charged

08:30.510 --> 08:33.940
is something that would be a better deterrence

08:33.940 --> 08:34.600
because-

08:34.970 --> 08:36.620
I mean, is this even really like

08:37.120 --> 08:37.520
surprising?

08:37.940 --> 08:38.740
Is it even really news?

08:41.400 --> 08:43.340
That Hillary Clinton wants people to go to jail

08:43.340 --> 08:45.700
for misinformation or prosecuted misinformation.

08:46.280 --> 08:46.760
Air quote.

08:47.160 --> 08:48.160
Air quote and misinformation.

08:49.100 --> 08:49.700
Scary, though.

08:50.600 --> 08:51.360
Let's move on.

08:52.240 --> 08:54.000
We've got a tweet from Steven Stone here.

08:54.560 --> 08:55.480
This is a relation-

08:55.480 --> 08:55.920
This is scary.

08:56.240 --> 08:57.060
This is scary, yeah.

08:57.080 --> 08:58.840
To, yeah, I think there's probably more context.

08:59.000 --> 09:00.080
Just I'll go and just play the video.

09:00.200 --> 09:00.520
I'll read the tweet.

09:00.940 --> 09:02.400
Hope you're enjoying the news

09:02.400 --> 09:03.260
that your government can readily

09:03.820 --> 09:04.620
detonate pagers.

09:04.820 --> 09:05.920
Just know that your smartphone

09:05.920 --> 09:08.120
has a lot more potential power than an old pager.

09:08.280 --> 09:10.380
Here's a video of an iPhone being induced to explode.

09:27.520 --> 09:29.180
So this is in reference to

09:29.180 --> 09:32.020
what happened over this past week

09:32.020 --> 09:35.600
where I guess some people,

09:36.160 --> 09:37.380
some Hezbollah people,

09:37.680 --> 09:41.740
people who are a part of Hezbollah

09:41.740 --> 09:42.460
working for Iran

09:42.460 --> 09:44.640
had everyone seen the clip at this point.

09:44.940 --> 09:45.780
They had a pager

09:45.780 --> 09:47.700
and it just basically blew up in their hands

09:47.700 --> 09:48.840
very violently.

09:49.400 --> 09:50.660
And people are

09:51.400 --> 09:53.860
figuring out exactly how that happened.

09:54.500 --> 09:56.140
What was going on there?

09:56.380 --> 09:58.240
Was it that they blow up the battery?

09:58.660 --> 10:01.600
Was it, like, did it have bombs inside of it?

10:03.860 --> 10:07.080
And I'm not the person to be able to speak on that.

10:07.740 --> 10:09.800
I think in the current research,

10:10.080 --> 10:10.980
it's kind of been determined

10:10.980 --> 10:12.740
that it was a supply chain hack.

10:13.200 --> 10:15.180
I think that's what it looks like.

10:15.860 --> 10:19.060
The phones are coming out of Hungary.

10:19.600 --> 10:20.280
I mean, the beepers.

10:20.280 --> 10:21.820
The beepers were, like, produced in Hungary.

10:22.160 --> 10:24.540
So, you know, like, the state, whatever,

10:24.820 --> 10:26.240
the agents involved in this,

10:26.320 --> 10:29.640
sounds like they overtook this production, right?

10:29.840 --> 10:30.900
The production of beepers.

10:31.140 --> 10:32.120
They somehow, you know,

10:32.240 --> 10:33.800
whether they took over the entire company

10:33.800 --> 10:36.640
or own it and started producing.

10:36.660 --> 10:37.760
Very impressive nonetheless.

10:38.160 --> 10:38.980
Very impressive nonetheless.

10:39.300 --> 10:42.180
Now, this people saying that it was the battery

10:42.180 --> 10:44.740
that blew up, it's almost certainly definitely not.

10:45.240 --> 10:46.600
I mean, as you can see in this clip here,

10:46.600 --> 10:50.020
yeah, they caused this phone to violently explode.

10:50.620 --> 10:53.580
Maybe not quite as badly as it did in the,

10:53.720 --> 10:55.460
what actually happened over this past week.

10:55.940 --> 10:57.940
But they're using probably,

10:59.320 --> 11:02.440
they're using a tool to induce heat into the phone,

11:02.660 --> 11:04.700
causing the battery to rapidly heat up

11:04.700 --> 11:05.740
is what it looks like to me.

11:06.180 --> 11:08.500
I don't have any other context around this clip.

11:08.660 --> 11:09.980
There's a couple other tweets here.

11:10.700 --> 11:12.640
You can't just make a phone's battery

11:12.640 --> 11:13.500
just blow up like that.

11:13.560 --> 11:14.960
You need some kind of external source,

11:14.960 --> 11:17.800
like making it rapidly heat up to do that.

11:18.220 --> 11:20.200
The only other way is if there was

11:20.200 --> 11:22.920
pre-planted explosives inside the device.

11:24.180 --> 11:24.880
So yeah, I don't know.

11:25.020 --> 11:27.460
I mean, can't you like overclock these things potentially?

11:27.740 --> 11:30.800
Override systems and no, I mean, the phone itself.

11:32.360 --> 11:35.620
I doubt that there's a way that the phone itself can

11:36.160 --> 11:38.160
cause itself to heat up that rapidly

11:38.160 --> 11:40.020
in order to make the battery explode

11:40.020 --> 11:41.380
like we just saw in this clip.

11:41.560 --> 11:44.240
Now phone batteries can overheat and catch on fire.

11:44.960 --> 11:47.860
Which we've seen with phones like the Galaxy Note 7.

11:48.260 --> 11:49.640
But that's a very different situation

11:49.640 --> 11:50.820
where it's not exploding.

11:51.060 --> 11:53.440
It's more of like catching on fire, right?

11:53.660 --> 11:57.060
How about a Tesla or, you know, these motorcycles,

11:57.620 --> 11:59.620
these electric bikes that blow up already on their own?

11:59.900 --> 12:01.960
I mean, there's so many devices.

12:02.280 --> 12:04.640
I mean, the real eye-opener here is,

12:04.720 --> 12:06.600
all right, so maybe they're not being hacked

12:07.240 --> 12:09.100
and then caused to blown up.

12:09.440 --> 12:14.440
But this concept of taking over the supply chain,

12:14.440 --> 12:17.920
manipulating the supply chain to put a bomb in it,

12:18.100 --> 12:21.140
like small bombs has been proven.

12:22.080 --> 12:23.220
So, you know, if we see it here,

12:23.340 --> 12:25.300
they could probably do it to many more things.

12:25.600 --> 12:28.480
And it's like, then how cheap could they potentially make it?

12:28.800 --> 12:30.820
Could it be monetized to the point where

12:30.820 --> 12:33.500
like everybody's refrigerator can blow up at will

12:33.500 --> 12:34.620
when they want to blow it up?

12:34.980 --> 12:36.740
Like, I mean, who knows, right?

12:37.300 --> 12:39.940
I mean, it's just showing proof of concept.

12:40.180 --> 12:41.460
It's pretty scary stuff.

12:43.620 --> 12:47.320
You got a super chat from definitely not body, $1.

12:47.760 --> 12:49.720
This is reminiscent of what's happening in the UK.

12:49.940 --> 12:51.800
FBI trying to normalize having conversations with your tweets.

12:52.040 --> 12:57.940
Yes, I've seen a lot of clips of police or, you know,

12:58.160 --> 13:02.120
federal agents in the UK coming to people's houses to,

13:02.360 --> 13:04.200
oh, we just want to chat, we just want to have a talk

13:04.200 --> 13:06.520
about these things that you said

13:06.520 --> 13:08.780
or this thing that you believe in that, you know,

13:08.840 --> 13:10.540
we don't want you to, you know,

13:10.920 --> 13:12.300
just want to have a talk, you know?

13:14.000 --> 13:14.720
Pretty dystopian.

13:15.140 --> 13:17.200
And yeah, they're trying to do that in the US as well.

13:17.240 --> 13:21.000
But I think they're going to be met with at least some more

13:21.000 --> 13:24.780
amount of resistance in the United States than in the UK

13:24.780 --> 13:25.780
with that happening.

13:26.760 --> 13:29.660
Let's move on to the next story.

13:30.940 --> 13:34.280
Wow, we've just got terrible people after terrible people.

13:34.380 --> 13:35.440
A tweet from Gavin Newsom.

13:35.540 --> 13:36.900
I just signed a bill to make this illegal

13:36.900 --> 13:37.880
in the state of California.

13:38.080 --> 13:39.440
You can no longer knowingly distribute

13:39.440 --> 13:42.000
and add or other election communications that contain

13:42.800 --> 13:45.120
materially deceptive content, including defects,

13:46.740 --> 13:49.660
meaning manipulating a voice in an ad like this one

13:49.660 --> 13:50.500
should be illegal.

13:50.720 --> 13:52.220
I'll be sending a bill a matter of weeks

13:52.220 --> 13:53.500
to make sure this Elon Musk retweets

13:53.500 --> 13:55.160
altered Kamala Harris campaign ad,

13:57.780 --> 14:00.400
which this as far as I understand is just a parody

14:00.400 --> 14:02.780
and probably obviously a parody.

14:05.160 --> 14:08.620
And I guess Gavin Newsom wants to make this illegal

14:08.620 --> 14:10.940
in California, so no more parodies, guys.

14:11.160 --> 14:12.040
You can't be funny anymore.

14:13.960 --> 14:17.580
That is like one of the most important aspects

14:17.580 --> 14:20.480
of free speech is protecting the ability to parody.

14:21.140 --> 14:23.480
If you can't parody things, you can't make fun of things,

14:23.600 --> 14:24.700
you can't comment on things.

14:25.880 --> 14:27.800
You've been silenced in terms of being able

14:27.800 --> 14:29.720
to speak out against shit you don't agree with.

14:31.700 --> 14:34.140
We got a tweet from Minera Bowl here.

14:34.140 --> 14:40.300
Lightning is over and we're showing a picture of a graph

14:40.300 --> 14:45.040
of nodes, channels, network capacity, and capacity per channel.

14:45.760 --> 14:50.500
So I guess the amount of channels suddenly dropped off

14:50.500 --> 14:54.120
for some reason and the amount of nodes

14:54.120 --> 14:56.660
has also quit rapidly dropped off.

14:57.060 --> 15:00.340
I imagine this is due to the closing of several.

15:01.020 --> 15:04.020
If this is true, probably the closing of several

15:04.860 --> 15:08.280
lightning apps that people have had to migrate away from

15:09.360 --> 15:11.220
and network capacity has gone way down.

15:11.940 --> 15:14.620
And I guess this chart comes from this website,

15:15.200 --> 15:16.080
bitcoinvisuals.com.

15:17.380 --> 15:19.540
Not sure how they're measuring stuff or if it's accurate.

15:20.760 --> 15:24.180
I think we got a reply from Seth here.

15:24.300 --> 15:25.300
Pretty sure that's a bug on the side.

15:25.440 --> 15:26.120
Doesn't seem to make sense.

15:26.240 --> 15:28.120
It doesn't match other Ellen metrics like this.

15:28.240 --> 15:29.660
So maybe it's not true.

15:32.920 --> 15:34.660
As Memphis without space reporting,

15:34.820 --> 15:37.000
something totally, totally different results

15:37.000 --> 15:40.720
where we actually have a large spike in lightning network nodes.

15:40.880 --> 15:42.500
So whichever one it is, I have no idea.

15:43.680 --> 15:44.720
But who cares?

15:45.060 --> 15:45.380
Ellen sucks.

15:45.580 --> 15:45.660
Who cares?

15:46.580 --> 15:48.940
That's kind of my take.

15:49.180 --> 15:49.720
I'm just like whatever.

15:50.920 --> 15:51.820
Just use Minera.

15:52.360 --> 15:52.800
Yes.

15:53.280 --> 15:56.120
Next up, I got a tweet from Hakan.

15:56.780 --> 15:58.480
Prosecutors appear to be able to

15:59.660 --> 16:01.580
ashtrix, ashtrix, de-anonymize Tor

16:01.580 --> 16:05.520
by tapping servers for years and doing timing analysis.

16:06.200 --> 16:07.480
I don't think this is anything new.

16:08.060 --> 16:10.520
In one case, Ricochet related to CSAM,

16:10.660 --> 16:12.460
they did this four times or to telco provider

16:12.460 --> 16:14.280
to an end of customer connecting to entry node.

16:15.840 --> 16:17.880
This isn't really anything.

16:18.240 --> 16:18.380
Okay.

16:18.420 --> 16:19.020
This is all German.

16:19.300 --> 16:20.520
I don't even know if I can open this.

16:20.640 --> 16:21.900
Maybe Brave will translate for me.

16:25.580 --> 16:27.280
I don't think this is anything new.

16:27.500 --> 16:29.180
I mean, this has been known about for a long time

16:29.180 --> 16:31.460
is that you can do network timing attacks

16:31.460 --> 16:34.900
and you can obtain the IP of someone entering

16:34.900 --> 16:37.980
via an entry node

16:39.060 --> 16:41.880
and try to correlate with timing attacks.

16:42.380 --> 16:43.700
I mean, it's the same thing with VPNs.

16:43.780 --> 16:44.780
It's just a lot harder with Tor.

16:46.180 --> 16:48.600
If Devrick's still around when we get the viewers on stage,

16:48.600 --> 16:51.300
I think he has some good insights into Tor.

16:52.260 --> 16:54.180
I mean, maybe if you want to chime on that.

16:55.380 --> 17:00.220
Let's go to, oh, yay, a clip from Michael Saylor.

17:00.920 --> 17:02.720
You're imagining a world where the governments

17:02.720 --> 17:04.600
and the banks aren't going away.

17:04.800 --> 17:06.000
They aren't going away, Saylor.

17:06.360 --> 17:10.040
My point is, wouldn't you like for JP Morgan

17:10.040 --> 17:15.060
to just pay you 5% of your Bitcoin value risk-free?

17:15.560 --> 17:17.400
I mean, ideally, I'd like 500%,

17:17.400 --> 17:19.960
but I want to keep my Bitcoin more

17:19.960 --> 17:23.320
than I want the 5% or the 500% chasing after that.

17:23.600 --> 17:26.060
No one's going to pay 500% interest on a loan.

17:26.440 --> 17:28.460
Yeah, and I think the 5% as well.

17:28.660 --> 17:30.600
I mean, if everybody's got their Bitcoin in 5%,

17:30.600 --> 17:32.240
well, how are you going to make more Bitcoin?

17:32.320 --> 17:34.460
Eventually, you're going to have more Bitcoin needs

17:34.460 --> 17:36.720
to be paid than there is Bitcoin in existence.

17:37.300 --> 17:38.680
I'm not talking about issuing more Bitcoin.

17:38.860 --> 17:43.040
I'm saying that the current risk-free rate,

17:43.320 --> 17:44.900
if you have money at JP Morgan,

17:45.360 --> 17:48.080
you put in a money market that pays 550 basis points.

17:48.080 --> 17:51.060
So wouldn't you like to get 550 basis points

17:51.060 --> 17:54.240
on your Bitcoin balance without converting it to dollars, right?

17:54.300 --> 17:56.380
Right now, you have to convert it to US Treasuries

17:56.380 --> 17:58.220
to get 550 basis points.

17:58.380 --> 18:00.380
But if you do it, it's effectively risk-free.

18:01.100 --> 18:02.880
I mean, it's pretty close to risk-free.

18:03.640 --> 18:05.880
It's not. I don't think it's risk-free.

18:06.040 --> 18:08.120
I think it's, it works with...

18:08.120 --> 18:09.380
Yes, the US government fails.

18:10.020 --> 18:12.640
I mean, the US government's not going to let JP Morgan fail.

18:13.340 --> 18:15.660
Yeah, but the US government has already failed several times

18:15.660 --> 18:16.480
over the last century.

18:16.480 --> 18:18.440
In 1934, they defaulted on gold.

18:18.560 --> 18:20.440
In 1971, they defaulted again on gold.

18:20.520 --> 18:21.140
Okay, well, fine.

18:21.320 --> 18:23.280
So now you're going all maxi on me.

18:23.340 --> 18:25.200
But if that's the point, let me just make the point

18:25.200 --> 18:27.440
that there's no way that El Salvador is going

18:27.440 --> 18:30.540
to pay their expenses without selling their Bitcoin

18:30.540 --> 18:34.500
if no one's willing to give them yield on Bitcoin, right?

18:34.620 --> 18:36.180
And you're a world, if you have expenses,

18:36.500 --> 18:39.140
you're going to have to sell the asset.

18:39.380 --> 18:40.520
But you're going to have incomes.

18:40.880 --> 18:42.500
So you cover your expenses from your income

18:42.500 --> 18:43.520
and you keep stacking sats

18:43.520 --> 18:44.960
and you grow up your stack forever.

18:44.960 --> 18:50.000
Well, the point is, if the capital doesn't generate a return,

18:50.700 --> 18:52.520
it's a non-performing asset.

18:53.320 --> 18:56.640
So you need to address the issue.

18:56.800 --> 19:01.140
If I put $100 billion into Bitcoin and I get 0% yield,

19:01.560 --> 19:04.200
that's just as bad as I have $100 billion

19:04.200 --> 19:06.860
in US bonds that pay 0% yield.

19:07.040 --> 19:09.440
In both cases, they're non-performing assets.

19:09.920 --> 19:12.700
I'm going to have to sell my house, my kids,

19:12.700 --> 19:15.700
my whatever to pay my hospital bills

19:15.700 --> 19:18.980
if I don't get any yield off of my assets.

19:19.260 --> 19:20.580
It's non-performing.

19:20.860 --> 19:22.900
Look, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it

19:22.900 --> 19:24.420
and I'm not saying you shouldn't do it.

19:24.540 --> 19:26.060
I'm just saying that in a world in which

19:26.060 --> 19:26.860
the money supply is fixed

19:26.860 --> 19:28.340
and there's no lender of last resort,

19:28.780 --> 19:29.880
in a world in which JP Morgan

19:29.880 --> 19:31.200
doesn't have a magic money printer

19:31.200 --> 19:32.440
because JP Morgan prints money.

19:32.560 --> 19:33.380
It's not just the US government

19:33.380 --> 19:34.800
and the Federal Reserve that print money.

19:35.200 --> 19:36.740
JP Morgan is also able to print money

19:36.740 --> 19:38.980
and they can borrow from the Federal Reserve

19:38.980 --> 19:39.680
at the lowest interest rate.

19:40.240 --> 19:43.200
So in that kind of fiat privilege system,

19:43.360 --> 19:45.240
they are able to offer you 5%

19:45.240 --> 19:46.880
because they are printing that money.

19:46.900 --> 19:47.800
They're going to be able to pay you.

19:47.900 --> 19:50.260
They make the billion dollars that they lend you

19:50.260 --> 19:51.480
in the first place out of thin air

19:51.480 --> 19:54.420
and then they get money from the interest

19:54.420 --> 19:57.160
that they make on other people's billions of dollars

19:57.160 --> 19:58.040
that they made out of thin air.

20:00.120 --> 20:01.960
That game stops in Bitcoin.

20:02.500 --> 20:03.760
There's no lender of last resort.

20:04.060 --> 20:05.720
So now if you're a 22-year-old

20:05.720 --> 20:06.580
and you have a business idea,

20:06.840 --> 20:08.260
you need to find somebody to get you equity

20:08.260 --> 20:09.600
and I don't see that as a problem.

20:09.720 --> 20:10.300
Why is that a problem?

20:10.420 --> 20:10.860
You get equity.

20:11.040 --> 20:11.900
You share in the upside.

20:12.040 --> 20:12.740
You share in the downside.

20:13.420 --> 20:14.740
10 years from now, we're not,

20:14.840 --> 20:15.780
we're still going to have the dollar,

20:16.160 --> 20:16.840
say, Fideen.

20:16.940 --> 20:17.880
We're still going to have banks.

20:18.160 --> 20:19.600
We're still going to have governments, right?

20:19.920 --> 20:21.160
You're imagining a world

20:21.160 --> 20:23.240
where the governments and the banks go away.

20:23.720 --> 20:23.950
It's not...

20:27.300 --> 20:30.100
Seller is the opposite of a crypto-anarchist.

20:32.140 --> 20:33.680
He just doesn't get it.

20:33.780 --> 20:34.580
He never got it.

20:34.720 --> 20:36.760
He was a complete laggard.

20:36.760 --> 20:38.900
He didn't get into Bitcoin until what, 2020?

20:39.800 --> 20:41.760
I mean, the guy, he never understood it.

20:41.820 --> 20:42.700
He never got it.

20:42.780 --> 20:43.600
Me or you guys,

20:43.660 --> 20:45.600
you're going to hit up my buddies at JPMorgan,

20:45.740 --> 20:47.620
just add a couple zeros to the money supply.

20:48.600 --> 20:50.220
I mean, he did get it in that,

20:50.380 --> 20:53.020
ultimately, that is what Bitcoin offers, right?

20:53.120 --> 20:55.440
It's digital property and that's what he sees it as.

20:56.420 --> 20:58.620
And he doesn't see it as money because it's not.

20:58.740 --> 20:59.740
It doesn't function while it's money.

21:01.300 --> 21:02.540
Safe Fideen, on the other hand,

21:02.560 --> 21:04.620
wants it to be what Monero is,

21:05.120 --> 21:07.960
use, people live off of it, spend it.

21:09.060 --> 21:11.200
But it doesn't function well for those purposes.

21:12.100 --> 21:13.780
Got a super chat from Nihilist.

21:13.920 --> 21:14.280
50 cents.

21:14.660 --> 21:16.040
We've had tour timing to actually putting a VPN

21:16.580 --> 21:17.500
in front of it.

21:17.580 --> 21:18.540
This will mix you with other users.

21:19.580 --> 21:20.940
Yeah, I agree.

21:21.400 --> 21:23.520
This is a surprisingly controversial opinion

21:23.520 --> 21:25.280
to have in subspaces.

21:25.420 --> 21:27.580
But yeah, I think it can benefit you

21:27.580 --> 21:29.120
using a VPN in front of Tora

21:29.120 --> 21:34.160
if you're extra targeted for whatever reason.

21:36.280 --> 21:40.380
Anyway, let's go ahead and see we've got

21:40.380 --> 21:41.320
a couple more here.

21:44.420 --> 21:45.560
All right, we've got...

21:45.560 --> 21:46.720
Hey, Tux, Tux,

21:46.900 --> 21:47.940
you're going to be given a workshop

21:47.940 --> 21:49.200
down at Monero Topia, right?

21:49.980 --> 21:50.680
That's correct.

21:52.000 --> 21:52.440
Fantastic.

21:52.800 --> 21:53.480
And it's going to be...

21:54.800 --> 21:55.440
Graphino S.

21:55.720 --> 21:56.700
Graphino S, yeah.

21:57.080 --> 21:58.300
Yeah, another cool one would be just like

21:58.300 --> 22:01.360
how to use the internet anonymously, right?

22:02.100 --> 22:03.000
Like best practices

22:04.080 --> 22:04.800
I don't know.

22:04.980 --> 22:05.480
That could be cool.

22:05.780 --> 22:06.780
Cool concept too.

22:07.640 --> 22:09.560
I mean, part of the reason why it's

22:10.280 --> 22:12.200
the using VPN in front of Tora

22:12.200 --> 22:13.180
thing is controversial

22:13.180 --> 22:17.340
is because the people who set up Tora

22:17.340 --> 22:18.880
and want people to use Tora,

22:18.960 --> 22:21.720
they want it to be normal users using Tora.

22:21.860 --> 22:22.760
But if everyone's using a VPN,

22:22.980 --> 22:25.820
then it kind of, I guess in a way,

22:27.240 --> 22:29.420
devalues the air quote,

22:29.500 --> 22:30.680
normal user using Tora.

22:31.380 --> 22:35.740
But in reality, using a VPN does can improve.

22:36.540 --> 22:38.960
So it hurts the network security overall?

22:39.260 --> 22:40.260
Like reducing the latency?

22:40.620 --> 22:41.080
Not necessarily.

22:42.600 --> 22:45.200
I do see an improvement on an individual use though

22:45.200 --> 22:46.460
for using a VPN over Tora.

22:47.260 --> 22:48.380
Yeah, I mean, it's a VPN.

22:48.700 --> 22:52.300
And if they get the VPN on IP,

22:54.380 --> 22:56.560
VPN companies can be subpoenaed

22:56.560 --> 22:57.880
to give information and all that,

22:57.940 --> 22:59.260
but it's an extra layer

22:59.260 --> 23:00.740
that helps ultimately

23:00.740 --> 23:04.020
and it helps to solve the timing attack a bit better.

23:05.860 --> 23:08.140
We had that guy on last week

23:08.140 --> 23:09.460
who was all about Tora.

23:09.620 --> 23:12.120
He gave a really good talk on it.

23:12.920 --> 23:15.200
And I think he's going to be coming down to Monarotopia.

23:15.400 --> 23:16.720
Maybe we'll have him run a workshop.

23:17.540 --> 23:18.080
All right.

23:18.220 --> 23:20.020
We got a tweet from Myra Hurley.

23:20.360 --> 23:21.560
Trump did a Bitcoin transaction.

23:22.180 --> 23:25.020
No, we just showed everyone how bad Bitcoin's UX is.

23:25.220 --> 23:26.600
Let's walk through what happened.

23:26.600 --> 23:29.400
Air quote Trump did a Bitcoin transaction.

23:29.680 --> 23:30.920
What do you see in the video?

23:31.340 --> 23:33.280
Everything is pre-filled on the phone,

23:33.280 --> 23:34.860
which is then handed to Trump.

23:35.280 --> 23:38.240
All you need to do is scan the QR code right there.

23:38.440 --> 23:39.400
Something goes wrong.

23:39.540 --> 23:41.880
So the person next to Trump takes the phone

23:41.880 --> 23:42.760
and tries to scan.

23:43.200 --> 23:46.420
Someone did a Bitcoin transaction in front of Trump.

23:46.760 --> 23:47.900
Something else goes wrong.

23:48.200 --> 23:49.860
So yet another person takes over the phone

23:49.860 --> 23:50.920
to scan the QR code.

23:51.140 --> 23:51.900
What do we see?

23:52.300 --> 23:53.740
The app being used is strike,

23:54.300 --> 23:56.040
not the Bitcoin base layer.

23:56.600 --> 23:59.520
Someone did a lightning network transaction

23:59.520 --> 24:00.540
in front of Trump.

24:01.160 --> 24:02.540
Only even that is wrong.

24:03.060 --> 24:05.000
Strike is not a self-custodial wallet.

24:05.660 --> 24:07.060
A custodial wallet is a wallet

24:07.060 --> 24:08.580
where a trusted third party manages

24:08.580 --> 24:10.780
the private keys on your behalf, like strike.

24:11.360 --> 24:13.140
Someone used a trusted third party

24:13.140 --> 24:14.800
to do a lightning network transaction

24:14.800 --> 24:15.600
in front of Trump.

24:16.060 --> 24:16.800
The video continues.

24:17.120 --> 24:18.540
After taking over the phone and scanning,

24:18.940 --> 24:19.700
the guy partly says,

24:20.040 --> 24:21.520
and fantastic, it went through.

24:22.120 --> 24:23.660
Only it didn't.

24:24.220 --> 24:26.260
Cash only shirt guy takes the phone

24:26.260 --> 24:28.000
and the tablet tries to figure out

24:28.000 --> 24:28.660
what went wrong.

24:28.960 --> 24:30.300
Scans the QR code again.

24:30.680 --> 24:30.940
Waiting.

24:31.660 --> 24:33.120
Oh, it did go through.

24:33.720 --> 24:34.320
But did it really?

24:34.840 --> 24:36.520
First of all, this wasn't on chain.

24:36.780 --> 24:38.660
It wasn't even using a self-custodial

24:38.660 --> 24:39.200
lightning wallet.

24:39.600 --> 24:40.860
It used custodial strike.

24:41.500 --> 24:42.380
Where is strike available?

24:42.880 --> 24:44.560
Strike is available to all U.S. residents

24:44.560 --> 24:45.960
and residents of Puerto Rico,

24:46.160 --> 24:47.660
including New York and U.S.

24:47.740 --> 24:49.400
other territories and possessions.

24:49.740 --> 24:51.120
Please note that it isn't possible

24:51.120 --> 24:51.900
to create an account

24:51.900 --> 24:53.440
if you live in an unsupported region.

24:53.660 --> 24:55.460
Someone used a trusted third party

24:55.460 --> 24:56.820
to do a lightning network transaction

24:56.820 --> 24:57.500
in front of Trump

24:57.500 --> 24:58.880
using an app the people in the bar

24:58.880 --> 24:59.660
can't even install.

25:00.720 --> 25:02.540
Even the eventual completion

25:02.540 --> 25:04.140
of the transaction is doubtful.

25:04.580 --> 25:06.020
The guy quickly puts away the tablet

25:06.020 --> 25:07.640
or phone rather than proudly showing

25:07.640 --> 25:08.860
off the completed transaction.

25:09.400 --> 25:11.120
Yes, I'm being very cynical here.

25:11.260 --> 25:12.640
I'm happy at how far we've come

25:12.640 --> 25:13.620
to have a presidential candidate

25:13.620 --> 25:14.860
interested in crypto.

25:15.360 --> 25:17.040
But this was a terrible showing for crypto.

25:17.280 --> 25:18.180
Is this what people expect

25:18.180 --> 25:19.100
from the future of money?

25:19.340 --> 25:20.920
This was presumably a scripted event

25:20.920 --> 25:22.060
with people thinking through

25:22.060 --> 25:23.500
the very best way to show off Bitcoin.

25:24.040 --> 25:25.240
Yet the best we can do

25:25.240 --> 25:26.540
is a minute long video

25:26.540 --> 25:28.320
of someone trying to pay on his behalf

25:28.320 --> 25:29.440
using a custodial wallet

25:29.440 --> 25:31.200
that isn't available to the people of New York.

25:31.680 --> 25:31.900
Come on.

26:16.200 --> 26:18.740
We needed me to bust through the door at that moment.

26:22.020 --> 26:22.920
Oh, it did go through.

26:23.600 --> 26:24.440
All right, we're done.

26:24.700 --> 26:27.680
First transaction by a president

26:28.380 --> 26:29.880
on the Bitcoin protocol.

26:30.460 --> 26:31.200
That's great.

26:35.180 --> 26:37.120
Hello, everybody.

26:37.580 --> 26:38.860
I got to go back and see them.

26:39.080 --> 26:39.660
Well, let's go.

26:39.900 --> 26:40.180
Come on.

26:40.200 --> 26:40.720
Right this way.

26:43.220 --> 26:44.340
Thank you, everybody.

26:44.680 --> 26:45.620
Sir, what's your reaction

26:45.620 --> 26:47.360
that's an interest rate set?

26:49.540 --> 26:51.560
So that was pretty much it.

26:54.240 --> 26:58.660
He was not the first Bitcoin transaction on the Bitcoin.

26:58.660 --> 26:59.780
He wasn't an actual Bitcoin.

27:00.080 --> 27:02.420
Yeah, it was a custodial, right?

27:02.640 --> 27:04.520
custodial lightning transaction.

27:05.160 --> 27:07.760
And it's funny because I was actually here

27:07.760 --> 27:09.000
a few weeks ago.

27:09.320 --> 27:10.480
This is pub keys.

27:11.080 --> 27:13.560
I can't believe you've been there before me.

27:13.560 --> 27:15.140
I actually met this guy right here.

27:15.220 --> 27:15.860
He's a cool guy.

27:16.440 --> 27:20.280
I met him and we were on a podcast episode briefly.

27:21.720 --> 27:23.360
But yeah, it's a little disappointing.

27:24.760 --> 27:28.620
Yeah, it's cool that I guess in some ways

27:28.620 --> 27:29.000
it's cool.

27:29.120 --> 27:30.900
Some ways it's not that Trump is interested

27:30.900 --> 27:31.540
in the cryptocurrency.

27:32.780 --> 27:35.240
What do they use in there?

27:35.340 --> 27:37.340
Are they using BTC pay server on their end?

27:37.800 --> 27:38.360
I have no idea.

27:39.540 --> 27:40.400
I have no idea.

27:40.560 --> 27:41.260
I couldn't tell you.

27:41.420 --> 27:42.700
You didn't buy anything there.

27:42.840 --> 27:44.020
You didn't buy beer.

27:46.060 --> 27:47.760
Well, I didn't pay for it myself.

27:48.700 --> 27:50.520
I have no idea what it was.

27:51.560 --> 27:54.080
Maybe I could just hang out there and get them to add Monera.

27:57.540 --> 27:59.860
Yeah, it's disappointing though that it was a

28:00.480 --> 28:02.400
essentially it was just a custodial lightning,

28:03.160 --> 28:04.420
not even true lightning.

28:04.560 --> 28:06.280
It was just a custodial lightning transaction

28:06.280 --> 28:09.000
that clearly had some technical difficulties.

28:09.180 --> 28:10.720
And if you play back this beginning part,

28:10.820 --> 28:12.340
you can hear them say technical difficulties.

28:13.100 --> 28:14.800
Yeah, so not a great showing.

28:15.320 --> 28:16.720
It's like, oh, this is what it is.

28:16.980 --> 28:18.960
You have to fiddle around with it to get to work.

28:19.300 --> 28:20.160
Not a great showing.

28:22.600 --> 28:25.880
Obviously, crypto is currently not as seamless

28:25.880 --> 28:30.320
as just tapping your credit card at the payment terminal.

28:30.960 --> 28:35.140
But that's got a lot of other stuff going on

28:35.140 --> 28:39.360
that makes it not non-custodial, right?

28:39.780 --> 28:43.940
And makes it not uncontrollable.

28:44.420 --> 28:46.840
So does not get the crypto thing.

28:47.400 --> 28:48.320
No, he doesn't.

28:48.480 --> 28:48.760
He doesn't.

28:49.060 --> 28:51.020
He's got the selling stuff.

28:51.920 --> 28:53.720
I'm getting voters and I'm selling it.

28:53.720 --> 28:56.080
Then he had his announcement the other day, right?

28:56.160 --> 28:57.940
Where he's, what is it that they're launching?

28:58.340 --> 28:59.980
Like some of their own crypto project?

29:00.460 --> 29:01.200
I have no idea.

29:01.740 --> 29:03.560
I don't even pay attention to stuff anymore.

29:04.580 --> 29:07.540
They had like a three-hour spaces like the Trump Sons.

29:07.800 --> 29:08.940
And it has nothing to do with Bitcoin.

29:09.120 --> 29:10.840
I think it's like their own coin or something.

29:11.100 --> 29:14.260
It's like, you guys just, you know,

29:14.820 --> 29:16.140
you completely missed the whole concept.

29:16.280 --> 29:17.740
I mean, what they understand,

29:18.120 --> 29:19.460
they know how to make money, right?

29:19.460 --> 29:20.660
So they'll get all these.

29:21.900 --> 29:24.240
Or I've got a couple of super chats here.

29:24.440 --> 29:25.520
Rebel capitalist tip $1.

29:25.620 --> 29:27.600
Doug, who would you recommend to present Manera

29:27.600 --> 29:29.300
at the yearly Rebel Capitalist Live?

29:29.840 --> 29:31.860
Mark Moss usually represents the Bitcoin Maxi perspective.

29:32.220 --> 29:35.420
Most people there have no clue about BTC being a butt naked ledger

29:35.420 --> 29:37.560
and all the accompanying name problems.

29:38.500 --> 29:39.680
I'll come down there.

29:40.600 --> 29:41.420
Doug will do it.

29:41.460 --> 29:42.900
You know, or we get other people.

29:43.060 --> 29:45.340
Yeah, we get, you get tucks.

29:45.720 --> 29:46.100
You get me.

29:47.940 --> 29:50.660
Shit, obviously I like somebody like a Howard Chu

29:50.660 --> 29:51.520
would be amazing.

29:54.060 --> 29:56.840
Dale Kim, but we haven't seen him around in a while.

29:58.220 --> 29:59.560
But yeah, I'd be down.

29:59.760 --> 30:00.620
I'm sure tucks would be down.

30:01.660 --> 30:04.360
Should have used cake wallet tip $1.

30:04.760 --> 30:07.880
Trump cannot be trusted cake wallet or bust.

30:08.100 --> 30:08.320
I agree.

30:08.620 --> 30:09.340
Should have used cake wallet.

30:10.020 --> 30:11.300
Cake wallet with Manero.

30:12.120 --> 30:13.440
It does surprise me sometimes.

30:14.240 --> 30:16.660
No, Manero obviously is a layer once a year too.

30:17.220 --> 30:18.960
It does surprise me sometimes though.

30:19.200 --> 30:23.200
I will send a transaction from cake wallet

30:23.200 --> 30:25.400
like just a Manero transaction using my own node.

30:26.180 --> 30:29.000
And by the time I look back up on my computer screen,

30:29.200 --> 30:32.000
it's already been detected.

30:33.320 --> 30:35.140
So Manero's, it's pretty fast.

30:35.900 --> 30:37.500
In terms of waiting for confirmations.

30:37.740 --> 30:38.380
Yeah, you have to wait.

30:38.460 --> 30:40.020
But if you're, if you're to small payment

30:40.560 --> 30:42.380
and you are willing to do zero comp,

30:42.380 --> 30:43.520
it's very quick.

30:45.800 --> 30:48.420
So all right, got a couple more here.

30:48.640 --> 30:49.780
Let's go and get through these.

30:50.100 --> 30:51.520
I got a tweet from an air revolution.

30:52.160 --> 30:54.480
Total fraud penalties for banks since 2000.

30:56.620 --> 31:03.660
$389 trillion, no billion, $345,231,111.

31:04.640 --> 31:06.000
So that's a lot.

31:07.080 --> 31:10.180
And that's penalties that banks have paid

31:10.180 --> 31:11.840
probably just in the U.S.

31:12.380 --> 31:14.420
or maybe well, that's the way we should bank.

31:14.900 --> 31:15.980
Just banks in general.

31:17.380 --> 31:20.920
Top 10 current parent companies, top total penalty.

31:22.160 --> 31:25.280
So that's, so they've paid almost $400 billion of penalties

31:25.280 --> 31:30.580
since 2000 banks for doing what banks do.

31:31.840 --> 31:33.180
Third of a trillion dollars.

31:33.360 --> 31:34.080
Yep, crazy.

31:35.200 --> 31:36.700
But Manero's for criminals, right?

31:36.900 --> 31:38.260
Yes, Manero's for bad boys.

31:38.500 --> 31:40.140
You have to be a bad boy to use Manero.

31:43.100 --> 31:46.000
Hey, we got a tweet from our beloved Vic Sharma.

31:46.480 --> 31:48.980
Hey, look what's on that XMR Bazaar.

31:50.200 --> 31:52.380
2017 rolls, Royce Wraith.

31:52.560 --> 31:53.820
We showed this off earlier.

31:54.320 --> 32:00.000
You can buy this for a cool $1,200 XMR, $212,000.

32:00.080 --> 32:01.720
Is that thing bulletproof?

32:02.620 --> 32:04.940
It better be, it better be for that price.

32:06.000 --> 32:07.200
Yeah, look at that.

32:07.400 --> 32:07.980
It's like a monster.

32:08.180 --> 32:08.580
That is pretty wild.

32:08.880 --> 32:09.220
Look at that, crazy.

32:09.220 --> 32:09.920
That is pretty wild.

32:11.000 --> 32:12.280
Beautiful, beautiful.

32:12.500 --> 32:15.300
Vic should just keep it and paint that Manero orange

32:15.300 --> 32:16.240
and put a big-ass Manero.

32:16.440 --> 32:19.100
Giant cake wallet, Manero, yep.

32:20.560 --> 32:23.320
I'm sure he would be down for that if he was going to keep it.

32:26.080 --> 32:28.220
And last, we have another tweet from-

32:28.220 --> 32:29.620
Love to see somebody buy it though, right?

32:29.780 --> 32:30.440
I mean, who knows?

32:30.620 --> 32:31.220
Yes, it would be cool.

32:31.340 --> 32:31.820
Straight, it would be cool.

32:31.960 --> 32:32.280
You never know.

32:33.060 --> 32:33.580
Uh-oh.

32:33.920 --> 32:37.920
Looks like the branding got changed to something.

32:39.920 --> 32:40.360
What branding?

32:40.840 --> 32:41.080
Let me hide that.

32:41.600 --> 32:42.120
Oh, shit.

32:42.780 --> 32:43.220
You know what?

32:43.420 --> 32:45.200
That's me, I think, because I moved,

32:45.780 --> 32:46.920
because I was trying to play a thing.

32:47.060 --> 32:47.420
Hold up.

32:48.280 --> 32:49.180
Did I do that?

32:52.740 --> 32:55.280
Whatever, I'm going to read this off anyway.

32:56.220 --> 32:58.000
Last one is a tweet from Vic.

32:58.180 --> 32:59.840
Once again, fully air-gapped Manero transaction

32:59.840 --> 33:00.700
in cake wallet.

33:01.360 --> 33:04.080
So this is Vic showing off very, very, very early

33:04.080 --> 33:06.040
features and stuff as usual.

33:06.660 --> 33:09.660
This is an app that cake is developing

33:10.560 --> 33:13.500
that will be basically an air-gapped app

33:13.500 --> 33:14.420
that'll work with cake wallet

33:14.960 --> 33:17.140
using the same live QR code protocol

33:17.760 --> 33:18.980
that works with Anonero.

33:20.500 --> 33:23.140
So this is similar to what Manero's you.

33:23.460 --> 33:24.600
What would they call it, Theria?

33:24.940 --> 33:25.040
Cake?

33:25.260 --> 33:25.500
No.

33:25.700 --> 33:26.140
What would they call it?

33:26.160 --> 33:27.260
No, it's not actually.

33:27.620 --> 33:29.420
Well, later on we'll add support,

33:30.300 --> 33:32.960
but Sidekick is using basically

33:32.960 --> 33:34.460
the Ledger protocol with Bluetooth.

33:35.240 --> 33:36.920
We'll add support for that later on.

33:37.220 --> 33:38.920
This is more of what Anonero is doing,

33:38.920 --> 33:41.660
which is live QR codes that you scan.

33:42.040 --> 33:42.940
So it's truly air-gapped.

33:44.960 --> 33:49.160
And so the idea is that you can have your cold storage wallet

33:49.160 --> 33:51.760
be like a GraphinOS phone

33:52.360 --> 33:55.780
and you just keep it offline

33:55.780 --> 33:57.620
and you can use that to sign your transactions.

33:58.080 --> 34:00.940
And the main point of developing a separate app

34:00.940 --> 34:02.600
to do this is that we can

34:02.600 --> 34:04.180
remove the network permission

34:04.180 --> 34:07.320
from the second Apple together, right?

34:07.320 --> 34:09.400
So even though if you use GraphinOS

34:09.400 --> 34:11.960
you can manually disable network access for apps.

34:12.240 --> 34:14.160
If you don't use GraphinOS you can't even do that.

34:15.640 --> 34:17.700
With this new app it won't even have

34:18.220 --> 34:19.700
network permission at all.

34:20.000 --> 34:24.180
It'll just be purely offline, which will be the point.

34:24.920 --> 34:28.420
Would people theoretically be able to use an iPhone

34:28.420 --> 34:30.280
for their offline phone for this or no?

34:31.520 --> 34:32.960
They could if they wanted to.

34:33.260 --> 34:35.360
If they really, yeah, they could if they really wanted to.

34:35.920 --> 34:39.760
I'd recommend having like a new GraphinOS phone

34:39.760 --> 34:41.500
for something like this personally.

34:41.940 --> 34:44.040
But yeah, you could use whatever you wanted really.

34:45.100 --> 34:47.000
Yeah, so for those who don't totally understand

34:47.000 --> 34:47.500
what we're talking about,

34:47.580 --> 34:48.960
I mean that basically becomes

34:48.960 --> 34:50.500
could become your new hardware wallet.

34:50.880 --> 34:53.440
So like a Graphin phone that's just dedicated,

34:53.800 --> 34:56.880
it's offline, it's holding your private keys,

34:57.040 --> 34:59.580
your seed, and then whenever you go to spend Monero

34:59.580 --> 35:02.400
on your live device, your other phone,

35:02.400 --> 35:04.940
you would sign the transaction with your,

35:05.140 --> 35:07.140
with this offline phone that's dedicated

35:07.140 --> 35:08.280
to just hold your keys.

35:08.580 --> 35:13.420
And now you effectively have a nice hardware wallet for Monero.

35:14.020 --> 35:17.680
And I've always liked the idea of hardware wallets

35:17.680 --> 35:19.420
now that would be coming in the form

35:19.420 --> 35:20.640
of something like a Graphin phone.

35:20.740 --> 35:21.660
So you're not on the radar

35:21.660 --> 35:23.620
when you're purchasing this hardware wallet, right?

35:23.760 --> 35:24.440
And you're not-

35:24.440 --> 35:25.980
Yeah, you have, there's less a chance

35:25.980 --> 35:29.860
of like a supply chain attack specific to a hardware wallet.

35:29.860 --> 35:33.320
And there's less chance of having like a specific attack

35:34.440 --> 35:37.080
relating to retrieving crypto keys

35:37.080 --> 35:38.920
because it's a phone, right?

35:39.100 --> 35:41.680
It's a phone, it's not like

35:41.680 --> 35:43.760
you see someone's ledger sitting out, right?

35:43.860 --> 35:45.400
And you're like, oh yeah, that probably has like

35:45.400 --> 35:47.900
tens of thousands, maybe millions of dollars on it.

35:48.260 --> 35:50.680
You could just have a spare phone

35:50.680 --> 35:51.980
just sitting around somewhere.

35:52.460 --> 35:54.860
And if you keep it offline all the time,

35:56.960 --> 35:59.280
all your storage will be fully encrypted.

35:59.280 --> 36:01.080
And it won't be accessible regardless.

36:02.580 --> 36:04.400
So just turn it on when you need to use it

36:05.560 --> 36:06.820
and turn it off when you're done with it.

36:06.880 --> 36:08.280
And it'll be a very good solution.
