That's because we launched v0.1 (the MVP) and then went radio-silent because we are now completely overhauling the backend _and_ the frontend for v0.2, and doing some big data migrations. cloud fodder (npub10np…tl5h) semisol (npub1226…grkj) ChipTuner (npub1qdj…fqm7) nusa (npub1636…qpl4) MichaelJ (npub1wqf…qsyn) and I are really busy. And we had to spent real money on compute, which is always painful. 🙈

The 0.1 is at https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/. Once we get the 0.2.1 out, I'll make an announcement. It's going to be a very different experience. Much more focused on reading, exploring, curating, and downloading books and other publications. And there will be way more books in there. 🚀

(Also, we have incorporated, which took some time, but was low-key, totally exciting. 😊)

bisq exploited! Read the below 👇

nevent1q…ux3f
**Bisq Protocol Exploit Update**

This is a brief update on what we have learned so far, the current state of reimbursement planning for affected users, and some broader observations about the growing role of AI-assisted attacks.

**Estimated impact**

Based on preliminary estimates from data analysis and reports from affected users, the total amount stolen appears to be approximately **11 BTC**.

The attacker used a **0.001 BTC** multisig output together with an unusually high **10,000 sat** miner fee in the reported transactions. That combination created a recognizable transaction fingerprint, which helped identify suspicious transactions within the time window in which the attack occurred.

So far only Altcoin trades have been reported.

This remains a preliminary estimate. The final amount may change as additional reports are reviewed.

**How are victims getting reimbursed?**

We are currently discussing several reimbursement options. Our goal is to enable **fast and complete reimbursement with minimal friction for victims**.

There are, however, practical constraints:

• **Protocol constraints**: victims must open arbitration cases. Arbitration can only be opened after a time lock of **10 days for altcoin trades** and **20 days for fiat trades**.
• **DAO constraints**: the DAO has limits on how much can be issued per DAO cycle.
• **DAO governance**: the proposal for the reimbursement has to be confirmed by the DAO via voting. The current DAO cycle will end around 25th of May.

The current intention is to allow victims to choose between reimbursement in **Bitcoin** or **BSQ**.

At this stage we cannot make a final commitment on the exact mechanism, but we wanted to share our intentions.

For Bisq users — whether affected directly or not — discussion is ongoing in the **Matrix channel**: (https://matrix.to/#/%23bisq:bitcoin.kyoto)

And on **GitHub**: (https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/discussions/7628)

The final reimbursement model will be submitted as a **DAO proposal for voting**.

The exploit caused a significant challenge for both Bisq and the DAO, but we are confident it is manageable. It was serious, but it was not a fatal blow.

**How did the exploit happen?**

In short, the exploit was caused by a **missing validation that should have rejected negative input values provided by the taker**.

The maker and taker must use the same miner fee. That fee value is provided by the taker.

The attacker supplied a **negative miner fee**.

When the maker calculated the multisig output amount — which includes the miner fee for the payout transaction — the negative value reduced the multisig amount to **0.001 BTC**, while the remaining funds were redirected to the taker’s change output.

Unfortunately, the taker change output was a leftover from older protocol versions. It had already been identified as something that should be removed, but that cleanup had unfortunately not happened.

**Was it an AI-assisted attack?**

We cannot answer that with certainty. However, based on our own experience during the investigation, we think it is likely.

After the issue was discovered, one group of developers started manual code inspection to understand how the exploit could have happened.

A second group used AI-assisted analysis.

The AI-assisted group was faster and identified the exploit path in a relatively short time.

The first AI-generated attempt turned out to be a false positive, but a second attempt by another developer successfully reproduced the exploit. It also produced both an attack patch and a corresponding fix.

AI tools include safeguards, so simply asking them to identify an exploit will usually not work.

However, with enough context, careful prompting, and a degree of social engineering of the model, those safeguards can be bypassed.

Based on our experience, it is reasonable to assume that the attacker may have followed a similar path.

**A warning shot**

Some Bisq developers are highly proficient with AI tools. However, we had not systematically used them as part of an actual security audit process.

One developer attempted to get Bisq into an external security audit program, but the application was rejected.

In hindsight, this was a serious failure on our side.

The mistake was not only the missing validation check. It was also failing to react early enough to the changing security landscape and the increasing practical relevance of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery.

We must assume that there will be further attempts.

Over the coming weeks we will invest significant effort into hardening the codebase and actively using AI tools ourselves to search for failure modes.

We are particularly focused on vulnerabilities that could directly affect the wallet.

Until additional review and hardening are completed, we recommend that Bisq users **do not keep more BTC in their Bisq wallet than is necessary for active trading**.

We also hope this serves as a useful warning to other projects in the space.

If our experience helps others identify similar risks earlier and strengthen their defenses, something positive may still come out of it.

**Release plans**

We have already fixed the immediate vulnerability and are currently working on additional hardening for a hotfix release.

We expect to publish that release in the coming days.

After that, we will continue with a follow-up release focused on further hardening, broader review, and additional security auditing.

Seeing a lot of talk about #Hermes vs #OpenClaw.

Study the difference between front-loading overkill context (Hermes), and just-in-time (JIT) context loading (OpenClaw). The reason Hermes "just goes off and does it" and OpenClaw goes back-and-forth asking questions is all down to Hermes front-loading and consuming tons of tokens upfront, often needlessly.

TokenBurnMaxxing versus fine-tuning. Once you fine-tune, they end up kinda the same. ⚖ You can make OpenClaw front-load like Hermes. You can make Hermes JIT like OpenClaw.

There are sandbox/toplogy/infra differences which may push you towards one or the other, but in terms of general agentic behaviour which 99% of peeps are looking for, you need to watch your tokens and not overburn them needlessly IMHO.

News hits different when it's visually displayed geographically, and linked based on context to various places.

I initially made this for myself, but many peeps I've showed it to seem to think it's neat and have asked me if they can access it too. First stage would be open access. Far down the line may be open sourcing it, but it's a bit of a behemoth and sprawls across quite a lot of services to tie it all together.

You can just build your own tingz.

I built my own #OSINT tool called VISOR. It polls over 80 sources (and growing) for news, categorizes, tags, geo-locates, and displays them on a map or feed view (also accessible via API for my agents like openclaw). The website renders for desktop, tablet, or mobile so I check it whether at home or out and about.

I use a local LLM on the server to help with understanding geo-context, criticality, dynamic tags, and more.

It's currently private. Maybe one day I'll make it publicly accessible, but for now I'm just happy with using an OSINT tool built for me.

Too bad they cucked the interest rate curve on WETH so it's only like 4.3% APY. Under normal circumstances you'd be printing 12-15% APY I reckon at 100% utilization. I understand why they done it tho.

I quickly withdrew my stables when the exploit occurred, but I'm of half a mind to put my stablecoins back in there, over 13% APY right now. Definitely risk not worth the reward, but I am a degenerate after all. :MEOWDY:

Yes, we had the same issue. For trees, patience is key. Took quite a few years before it settled, but now that it is, year on year it's producing more and more flower spikes. Such a beautiful tree!

Imagine arguing to protect the "hUMaN rIgHtZ" of those who would rape our innocent children. They are inhuman anyway. I can think of no cases where it would be better to keep them alive.

And the message would be a strong deterrent to protect those in the future.

Rocking my #Bitcoin hoodie today and thinking about wholecoiners...

Latest data from Glassnode (March 2026) says 988,000 addresses hold 1 #BTC or more. Of course with segwit, multi-wallet usage, exchange custody pools, lost wallets, the number of actual individuals goes down. Let's say we're now down to 600-700K individuals who are wholecoiners.

Wholecoiners are:
- ~0.6% of all bitcoin owners.
- ~0.008% of the human population: 1 out of every 12,300 people on Earth.
- ~85x rarer than millionaires.

The number keeps falling every cycle, not increasing: as scarcity in mining, lost coins, institutional custody take over. Wholecoiners are one of the most exclusive clubs on earth and gets more and more rare over time.

Really makes you think about the economics of scarcity! :CatNerd:

Customised my #keyboard + dongle firmwares recently and flash'em on my keyboard pieces! Display on the dongle now shows WPM in real-time and other neat stuff. Running ZMK + Prospector dongle firmware code. This status screen is called Operator (first image).

I haven't been tracking my WPM until now, but apparently I am regularly hitting 130-150 WPM... sheesh.

I love open source & standards because it allows for customization and choice, where vendors prefer lock-in and lack choice.

I've been using this keyboard for maybe 10y, got it repaired, upgraded and retrofitted recently, and it's still kickin'. Gone from wired to now wireless, and has some of the softest switches around for RSI/carpal tunnel syndrome (kailh speed coppers).

My friend helped me 3D print the custom casings and build it for me (cats and soldering irons don't go well together). Plan to use this for another 10y or more, and keep repairing/retrofit upgrading as needed.

# "How Social Media Feminised Us All - It turned us into teenage girls"

Food for thought... ran across this article and I have to say, it doesn't feel far off. Many social platforms/algos promote behaviours discussed in this article.

> Mary Harrington puts this best, arguing that social media is “structurally feminine”, the technology itself feminising. That is to say, more often than not, these apps bring out stereotypically feminine traits in their users, no matter their sex, age, or politics.

> Wokeness, for example, is described by Andrews as “feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions”.

I built my own #OSINT tool called VISOR. It polls over 80 sources (and growing) for news, categorizes, tags, geo-locates, and displays them on a map or feed view (also accessible via API for my agents like openclaw). The website renders for desktop, tablet, or mobile so I check it whether at home or out and about.

I use a local LLM on the server to help with understanding geo-context, criticality, dynamic tags, and more.

It's currently private. Maybe one day I'll make it publicly accessible, but for now I'm just happy with using an OSINT tool built for me.

And yes, it can read nutritional info, labels, and all that too! So where you have specific details, it'll use that. Where it doesn't, it'll do the best it can without it (confidence score reflects guesses).

Useful if you have an individualized diet/plan from a nutritionist, or want something a bit more customized to your requirements. Factor in what's important to you, not some generic thing.

Something like this is so easy to build for yourself with all the AI tooling now available. Multimodal models that support image recognition are great for this.

Very, very cool! I've got to dig into this when I have a bit of spare time. I think P2P GPU compute organised over #nostr is an amazing idea.

quoting nevent1q…fq0e
Block just open-sourced mesh-llm, a peer-to-peer system that lets anyone pool spare GPU compute to run large open-source AI models without relying on any cloud provider.

If a model fits on your machine, it runs locally at full speed. If it doesn't, the system automatically splits it across multiple machines on the network. Dense models get split by layers. Mixture-of-experts models like DeepSeek and Qwen3 get split by experts. Zero configuration required.

Discovery happens over Nostr. Nodes find each other through relays, score by region and VRAM, and self-organize. No central server coordinates anything. Weights are read from local files, never sent over the network. Dead nodes get replaced in 60 seconds.

It exposes a standard OpenAI-compatible API on localhost, meaning any existing AI tool can plug in without modification.

Block is building infrastructure for AI that doesn't route through OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic. Frontier-class open models running across a mesh of commodity hardware, discovered via Nostr, with no cloud dependency. That's the direction AI needs to go.

Thanks, I don't disagree with any of this, in fact I found myself in this exact scenario: I don't have Wisp installed and was looking to install it to try it.

But when I searched, all I found was the April Fool's version rather than the official one. So if you were a new user, all you would've found would been that "fake" version.

I've just tried again and I think since you cleared that up, it's now returning the official one again in the search results.

The github being different definitely rang alarm bells for me, but you have to already be aware of an author's github username/official repo.

These aren't easy problems to solve, but hopefully something that can be improved over time by way of visual warnings/flags/etc, when strange apps pop up like that! From memory there used to be some way to view something like a WOT for the app/publisher? I didn't see it just now on Wisp, but I recall something like that in past zapstore versions... that would also be very handy to make more prominent on the main app listing page.

So if you check the comments on Cake Wallet in the zapstore, you'll see many users commenting the same, that on updating (I presume installing will do the same), Google Play Protect shows this:

It never used to show that for past versions (up to 6.0.1 I think were fine).

As for "another market", I meant another app store/marketplace, like F-droid or APKPure, or just plain ol' Play. Thing is, Play seems to lag behind zapstore on many apps, so one of the reasons I actually appreciate using zapstore is that oftentimes the builds are more current than my region's Play store.

I definitely do appreciate that nobody has the resources that Google has, and in truth I actually don't know why these particular versions after 6.0.1 were flagged.

2026-04-01T13:29:26Z

Thankfully the fake Wisp publisher doesn't seem to have malicious intent, and was done moreso by accident than on purpose. However this does kick up a whole bunch of questions for Zapstore (npub10r8…t2p8):

- Shouldn't there be some kind of manual approval when app names collide with pre-existing ones?
- How can you let a different publisher publish an app with the same ID `com.wisp.app` as a pre-existing, trusted package from the original dev utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻🍁 (npub1utx…50e8) ?
- There are literally zero flags/alerts/warnings on the interface when browsing this duplicate app.

Another example is Cake Wallet Cake Wallet (npub1lsr…m040), for the past few versions Google has flagged this as a malicious app (it wasn't the case before), so I have avoided upgrading, even though I originally installed the zapstore version. If it's not fixed soon I will have to uninstall then re-install via Play or another market (annoying as then a full re-sync is required).

To date I have enjoyed using zapstore, but I feel like this is a great lesson learned to tighten up some of the security measures so we maintain high trust in what is published there.
