Roman Storm Found Guilty | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 06

A monthly show where Max and Seth take a trip down memory lane to see what happened in the last 4 weeks of Monero.

What to know
 • Supposedly launching a 51% attack on August 2nd
 • Theoretically have shown the ability to deploy 
~30% of the network hashrate • for a 6h period, and only peaking at 20% over a 24h period as of July 28th
 • Founder has been doxxing Monero community members and slandering many others
 • Clearly a marketing ploy of a dying coin IMO, but a good test of Monero's PoW decentralization and resistance
 • Their goal, 
quote by Luke Parker:Fear-mongering and promoting a project which aims to remove Monero's decentralized block building, and appears to be the same as any other centralized mining pool (even if shares are submitted over some centralized network), don't contribute though. Don't get manipulated into it.What you can do
 • Mine Monero via p2pool to do your part securing Monero
https://x.com/sethforprivacy/status/1949842968673751330 • If the attack actually happens, be wary of accepting Monero without sufficient confirmations for goods and services
 • The more confirmations, the more hashrate required to re-org the chain and double spend
 • If running BTCPay, you can easily change the number of confirmations required in the "XMR Wallet" settings on the left side bar

Privacy Under Attack! | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 05

In this emergency episode of Ungovernable Misfits, we explore the potential cosmic and earthly threats that could impact our world. Return guest, Kerim, presents a theory that combines astrophysical phenomena with the current state of our planet, suggesting that we may be on the brink of a significant event. 

1 - Solar Maximum - The Sun is at the maximal peak of it's 11 year cycle, there is a confirmed increase in solar flare activity which suggests an increased risk of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/solar-maximum-could-hit-us-harder-and-sooner-than-we-thought-how-dangerous-will-the-suns-chaotic-peak-be/

https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/nasa-noaa-sun-reaches-maximum-phase-in-11-year-solar-cycle/

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/14/science/sun-cycles-solar-maximum-minimum-corona.html

2 - Earth's magnetic field is weakened - The magnetic field that sheilds us from solar plasma is at a low which leaves us more vulnerable to solar particle radiation and plasma discharges such as a CME.

https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/FutureEO/Swarm/Swarm_probes_weakening_of_Earth_s_magnetic_field

https://www.space.com/23131-earth-magnetic-field-shift-explained.html

https://www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth/earth-magnetic-field

https://www.livescience.com/62577-earth-magnetic-field-drifts.html

3 - Local Nova activity & Energy storage - Two confirmed Nova are currently visible. V462 Lupi (in the constellation Lupus, the wolf, one Ptolomy's 48 constellations) and V572 Velorum (in the large constellation Argo Navis, a great ship shaped constellation) are both classic nova. These are binary star systems that undergo periodic explosions. Exploding stars pulse a direct current through the normally alternating current plasma system of the galaxy. 

Almost all astronomical bodies have alternating layers of conductive plasmas and insulating uncharged matter (Earth's layers include the Ionosphere, Plasmasphere, Magnetosheath, Magnetosphere and could include the oceans and or subterranean plasma layers) in this manner they can act as multilayered capacitors. 

When an Alternating Current (AC) is applied to a capacitor, it acts like a resistor in a DC circuits, dissipating energy and attenuating it's flow.

When a Direct Current (DC) is applied to a capacitor, it acts as a battery as electric potential difference builds between the conductive plasma layers. This stores energy in the system increasing the risk of plasma discharges such as a CME.

In short, the local Nova activity generates DC pulses into the local plasma system making bodies act as batteries instead of resistors increasing the energy potentials and the risk of a CME. 

https://www.iflscience.com/for-only-the-second-recorded-time-two-novae-are-visible-with-the-naked-eye-at-once-79824

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364682617303711

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-019-0819-7

4 - The Taurid meteor stream - The presence of a conductive material into the solar system (such as a comet stream made up of metallic meteor fragments) could mediate an electrical discharge by lowering the resistance of the system.

Meteors are largely comprised of Iron. The meteor stream could act as "Iron filings" sprinkled between highly charged conductive plates. This could trigger a plasma discharge (arc discharge, essentially lightning) or CME.

An even more dangerous scenario could see the discharge diverting one or more meteors from the stream towards Earth. This could be a beautiful display of shooting stars and Northern Lights or a Younger Dryas Level event.

We pass through the stream every June and November.

5 - Psychosocial Temperature - Pick any issue, any fucking issue. Epstein, JFK, 911, Macron's Husband, Mass migration, the Genocide of the Palestinians. The people in power are acting like they will never face accountability for their crimes. In fact they are behaving like they know everything is coming down and they've known about it for a while and are prepped, ready and taking advantage of teh situation like the parasites they are. There are rumours of a 21 Trillion dollar breakaway civilisation (Caroline Fitz solari.com). Underground structures and spaceships. Elon Musk is boring tunnels and he and Bezos are sending rockets to space. It certainly seems like the people who would know about this are acting exactly as you would expect them to if it were true.

The Sun will have dropped back to minimum activity levels by 2030. The greatest risk is over the next three months. If we make it past November then the immediate danger is over and we could have hundreds or even thousands of years before this level of risk is approached again.

Ragnarök

We're Live! Kind Of? | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 04

In this episode of The Bitcoin Brief, Max and Q delve into the latest happenings in the world of Bitcoin and privacy. They discuss the current state of Bitcoin's value and the surprising low transaction fees despite its high price, reflecting on the implications for mass adoption and self-custody. They also explore the technical intricacies of Ashigaru's new Whirlpool implementation, addressing privacy concerns and the potential for malicious coordinators. The conversation touches on the importance of layered privacy and the role of tools like Monero swaps and Lightning channels in enhancing user security.

Max and Q highlight recent software updates, including the release of Envoy 2.0, Cake Wallet's new features, and the introduction of FrostSnap, a new consumer-ready product for Taproot multisig. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the benefits of multisig, the potential of Frost technology, and the ongoing developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Join us as we navigate the complexities of Bitcoin privacy, security, and innovation.
