Bitcoin is now on by default at Square checkouts across the U.S.
Sellers don't have to apply. Square switched it on for every eligible business, whether the owner has ever thought about bitcoin or not.
The customer scans a QR code with any Lightning wallet and the payment seller gets dollars by default or can choose to keep the bitcoin, and there are no chargebacks. Sellers can also auto-convert up to 50% of their daily card sales into bitcoin.
The limits: $600 max per payment, $20,000 a day, and sellers in New York are left out.
The fee is 0% through Dec. 31, then a flat 1%. A card tap on Square's free plan costs the merchant 2.6% plus 15 cents.

I encourage all operators to assess the risk surface area of their sites. Especially vendors with closed firmware, management software, and of course more important than ever, proper network security.
The mining industry is still very new and immature.

Getting reports customers at a mining hosting company discovered their pool information changed without their knowledge.
Hosting company claims they received notice (after asking) from @hiveonofficial that mining management software was compromised.

We had another AI incident at Casa. GPT-6 Astra completely wiped the databases and docker volumes on a machine. This is why it's best to run agents on disposable development servers rather than employee laptops. Don't trust the clankers.

Good morning.
There are currently over $10 billion of cumulative levered shorts on Bitcoin up to $83K. You know what they say when everyone is leaning into the same trade.
Have a great day.

The great Scott Aaronson has written about our proof of his eponymous conjecture!
“I was surprised, honestly, to see it missing from OpenAI’s Mathocalypse dump a few weeks ago. Surely they tried it, so was it really so much harder than all the problems that were solved?”

Today Physical Superintelligence PBC is announcing a proof of the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture, one of the central open problems in quantum complexity, with major implications for quantum computing speedup.

⚠️⚠️ All LNbits users should stop their LNbits servers IMMEDIATELY. ⚠️⚠️
Please forward this announcement.
Following a wave of attacks, we have a number of security patches to push. Until then, it's better to err on the side of caution. 🙏
Updates to follow soon.

NAKAMOTO PROJECT PUTS OUT FULL PAGE BITCOIN AD IN THE WALL ST JOURNAL THE DAY AFTER MIDTERMS
It reads:
The least political thing you’ll read today.
Red, blue, or undecided, bitcoin couldn’t care less. Whoever ends up controlling the House and Senate won’t control bitcoin. Nobody does. No government. No bank. No CEO.
Any party can print more dollars and dilute your savings. None can create more bitcoin. Its supply is capped at twenty-one million on a schedule written in open-source code that anyone can verify and no election can amend.
Maybe that’s why 1 in 7 Americans own bitcoin. Or maybe it’s because you can send it from Ohio to Osaka without asking anyone’s permission, on a network that has run without interruption since 2013.
Whatever their reasons, you don’t need a majority to find yours.

I spent the last two-three months scanning Bitcoin open source repositories. After talking with a lot of people about how they approach their scan procedures, I realized there's a lot to talk about. The pace is surreal, and it's very hard to keep up.
Therefore, here's my first attempt: a practical guide to scanning things!
I intentionally kept it focused on things that are **simple and cheap** - many people simply do not have the same power, money, resources, or time as a frontier lab or a professional red teamer.
However, there're a lot of practical things to reduce this barrier, and I hope this article helps you realize the world we're going to have and easy wins you can apply to be prepared more.
Hope it helps!

Goldman Delta 1 head:
"Anxiety around capex is extremely high. A number of bond issues launched yesterday reinforce the question around the cost and availability of capital. There are bull and bear takes on both sides, but the multiple compression is striking. The SOX on a blended 24 month forward basis is around 12.16x p/e, through Liberation Day and Iran escalation lows...approaching 2022 levels. Nvidia is at 10x, its lowest multiple since 2013 (blended 24mf). What is the market trying to tell us? That there is significant risk to estimates and potentially 2027 is a peak, as the cost of capital and the capacity to finance the buildout constrain how quickly companies can move. There are parallels to tech in the late 90s… building capacity before there was enough use for it. The bull case, and I’m probably more in this camp, is that the use cases are still largely untapped. Robotics has barely started, enterprise IT workflow automation has barely scaled across legacy stacks. But corporate balance sheet capacity and debt market limits are real and binding."
