Idk what you mean by relays
Last i checked it had a lot of reliability issues and it wasnt completely open source. Part of the reliability thing is peers have to be online at the same time so mobile isnt great if youre the group chat admin.
The protocol it is built on (iroh) is awesome for servers that are always on. Ive been using it and it can reliably punch holes almost anywhere. With the advent of clanker driven development its really useful.

I don't even disagree but looking back at the last era, I recall non technical normiecoiners bitching about X project not being open source and saying "don't trust verify". When the reality is they just wanted the ability to debase the labor of the company that put labor and capital into the project pre AI.
Post AI I largely agree.

2026-10-17 15:38:02 GMT

Hot take: The Cold Card debacle should make it clear that most of the virtue signaling about open source is not about "don't trust verify" (most projects don't get verified). A lot of it is about people wanting to access others' IP/labor for free.

2026-10-14 17:36:41 GMT

Even just a 2/2 Multisig with SWW + HWW causes minimum 10x on attack cost.
Why? Because the attacker either has to expend the effort to hack *your setup in particular* OR collaborate and open source all the exploits together without white hats noticing AND without betraying each other.

2026-10-14 14:01:02 GMT

- reply

I still think LTE is the most likely attack vector, and there's a reason the attackers chose it. Even purpose-built "low-power" cellular IoT chips draw hundreds of milliamps during transmission, well within the detection envelope of the proposed circuit.
Bluetooth is a more interesting counterargument, but it has two problems. First, its transmit current still spikes into the milliamps, so staying below our detection threshold isn't a given, especially with a deliberately constrained power budget. Second, it depends on a reliable third-party uplink.
The Apple Find My exploit is clever, but it's also a dependency Apple could disrupt with a protocol update requiring cryptographic proof of accessory authorization before relaying advertisements.
None of this makes the detector infallible but it does meaningfully harden defense. It does mean the attacker has to solve increasingly difficult problems to circumvent it.

2026-10-14 05:26:44 GMT

- reply

You're not gonna harvest enough energy to transmit over LTE. I actually had a patent in energy harvesting. It's good for much lower power operations.
My design here killshots the capacitor charge strategy. It's not difficult you just need an OK integrator circuit and good param selection.

Maybe but you could put in some neat tricks to brick the device if that's tried. I'll have to think on that. You could also make it a MEMs or a specialized IC that's part of an inline (high side current) circuit that would brick the device if removed or altered. The reason this attack could work is because STMs are so common they're like the Smiths of electronics.
This is my working design. I would also go ape shit and try to minimize power consumption of the device even if it means making you wait 10s instead of 3s for it to do a cryptographic operation. Makes it easier to detect fuckery.
Channel A detects instantaneous power if they're just total hogs and go for it (RF is incredibly peaky)
Channel B mitigates risk of them charging up a capacitor or some other energy storage and trying to surreptitiously charge up for the Big Transmit.

A Joule thief is a specific inductive boost-converter topology, typically using a coupled inductor. Battery imposes the same space/weight costs. That seems unnecessarily complicated for this application. But I'll steelman your argument as "some means of surreptitiously storing energy."
You can design a two-channel current detector. One channel measures near-instantaneous current; the other integrates excess current over a defined window to detect cumulative energy consumption.
A capacitor can conceal transmission peaks, but it can't conceal the energy needed to recharge it. The relevant question is whether that additional consumption falls within the device's normal power variability and the detector's sensitivity. Given control of the electronic design you could intentionally lower the power consumption of the legitimate assembly to make such detection even easier.

I am hesitant to take a dremel to it for these reasons:
1. This exploit simply replaces the original micro with a new one. With good craftsmanship (the same kind that would make enclosure manipulation undetectable) you wouldn't notice anything. So it wouldn't actually prove anything if you inspect visually by looking inside.
2. The way the enclosure is designed is either with one piece plastic or an aluminum backplate which appears to be designed not to be opened.
So the attackers would have to manufacture the whole imposter device from scratch. Possible but lower risk.

Hardware manufacturers should start detecting out of spec power consumption and treating that the same way you'd treat out of spec firmware/cryptographic checks.
This can be accomplished with an assembly that's like $0.10. Hire me. I can do it in my sleep.

The context is that if you never spend from a multisig, the attacker can never steal your funds because he doesn't have the requisite pubkeys to construct a transaction, even with 2 out of 3 keys for example in a multisig quorum.
The downside is, you don't know if you really set your setup correctly so you are (in my opinion) at a minimum at risk of being undertrained on how to shoot your monetary gun and at worst footgunning yourself with significant funds.

Pieter Levels on Twitter:
Airbnb deletes negative reviews so everything is always 4.7
Google Maps removes negative reviews in many countries as defamation so everything is always a 4.7
Booking sites want you to book so will also happily remove negative reviews for their hotels so everything is always a 4.7
I made a site called http://Hotelist.com (or http://HotelList.com whatever you prefer, I have both!)
It gets ratings from all booking platforms, normalizes them to show the actual score (eg a booking site where most hotels are always between 4 and 4.7 means you can normalize that to a 0 and 5)
It also uses AI vision models to rate hotels based on how they look
And it browses the internet for actual experiences (think blogs and Reddit posts) to get the real opinion about them outside reviews
And it's starting to work, I just stayed in this beautiful boutique apartment hotel called Woo Suites in Athens for $400/night. Clean, nice minimalist interior, working cold AC, central, excellent staff, great healthy breakfast, and we found it through Hotelist!
It's free, I don't make any money on it (actually I lose thousands per month on it to collect data via APIs and web scrapers) and there's no affiliate money bs like other booking sites (they will increase ranking of hotels if they pay sites a higher commission!)
