Do you still use BitTorrent? Want to stay safer? Then make sure to use an IP blocklist in your torrent client! One of the most popular lists was taken down over a year ago, and most people have a dead link configured in their client! If you are using http://john.bitsurge.net/public/biglist.p2p.gz then you should update immediately! If you want the latest and greatest list, check out https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/

Coinbase is streaming live on Twitter. #BUIDLCrypto "Explore how crypto is expanding economic freedom worldwide. Join to hear the inside story of how Bitcoin became legal tender in El Salvador, and how crypto is helping to eliminate homelessness... and much more" https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1YqGoyloBWgxv/peek
Jeffrey Tucker is one of my favorites. Today he released a new blog post and said "In 30 years of writing, this might be the most important article I've written." I agree. The world has become a terrifying place. I appreciate him putting things into perspective. Let me know what you think. https://brownstone.org/articles/the-purges-have-begun/
Anyone know why Reddit is censoring all posts from http://read.cash and http://noise.cash? Sad when one of the biggest networks in the world is censoring the little guy. Please share, I would like to figure out why this happened! I also posted this on Twitter. Lets share this far and wide and see if we can get Reddit to clarify this in some way! Be loud! Make noise! Isn't that the point! https://twitter.com/zquestz/status/1441863750563205127
Introduction to Neural Network Verification. This paper was just posted a couple days ago, very interesting read. https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10317
Another good take from Arstechnica today. Looks like Google has announced that Android is going to take an “upstream first” development model for the Linux kernel. This means a more modern kernel, and less custom patches for Android devices. I can't wait to see what the Pixel 6 has in store! https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/android-to-take-an-upstream-first-development-model-for-the-linux-kernel/

Mkchromecast makes it super easy to stream audio from your Linux box to a Chromecast or Sonos! Super convenient and works flawlessly. So many open source projects out there providing value, such an amazing ecosystem. https://mkchromecast.com/
James Lauer is playing live on Twitter right now. If you like electronic music you should tune in! Been listening to him for years! Chicago music FTW. https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1nAKEYOXyRlKL
Excellent rant about btrfs. TLDR - Been around for a decade and still not ready for prime time if you are using multiple disks. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/examining-btrfs-linuxs-perpetually-half-finished-filesystem/
The SmartMask alpha is now out. If you are using smartBCH and wish MetaMask had more polish, you should give it a try! Please reply to report any issues, or for feature requests! https://smartmask.cash Features: - Auto detects most SEP20 tokens. If any of your favorites don't show up, you can submit them at https://github.com/zquestz/smartmask - Sets the correct gas price on transfers, no more manually setting 1.05 gwei. - Shows the correct icons for tokens. - Automatically will prompt the user to add smartBCH as a MetaMask provider. - Open source, with examples for many common actions on the smartBCH network! Please share with other smartBCH users! I need some testers!


Been working on a new smartBCH wallet. Here are some screenshots. More info will be available soon. :-)


So, everyone is talking about smartBCH, but when I went to create some promo graphics I realized their logo isn't that great to work with. Anyone here good with graphic design? I am happy to provide some BCH to the person who produces the best original smartBCH logo! Please read their branding information at https://smartbch.org/#about for their color pallete. Lets see what the community is made of. Please share this far and wide, I want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to earn some BCH! There are no guarantees that this logo will get used, but the logo designer will get paid whether the smartBCH team decides to use it, or not! Once submissions are sent, I will have the community vote on what they liked the best, but at the end of the day I will be selecting the winner!
SPICE is one of the biggest SLP tokens for Bitcoin Cash, and their Telegram bot now allows swaps to smartBCH! Just message @SpiceTippingBot on Telegram to get started. You will need to send a message like this: bridge swap 1000 SPICE YOUR_SMARTBCH_ADDRESS for instance I used: bridge swap 1000 SPICE 0x6CdDe7DD0ACc56caBfc2315791016f7c334d72c3 Once you send the message it will send you a bitcoin cash address to send the SPICE, once you deposit the requested amount, it will shoot it over to you on the smartBCH side! You can also check out SPICE on the smartscan.cash explorer: https://www.smartscan.cash/address/0xe11829a7d5d8806bb36e118461a1012588fafd89 Pretty excited to see SPICE on smartBCH, you excited yet? Oh, and obviously you can already trade it on https://benswap.cash!
I am collecting smartBCH tokens. If anyone wants to be generous, feel free to send them to 0x6CdDe7DD0ACc56caBfc2315791016f7c334d72c3 =)
Australia's new mass surveillance mandate is frightening... "The Australian government has new laws on the books to hack your computer, your online accounts, and just about any piece of technology and networks you come into contact with. It can happen without a warrant and without you ever knowing. That’s just the start of it. Outraged? Good." https://digitalrightswatch.org.au/2021/09/02/australias-new-mass-surveillance-mandate/
Lilies looking beautiful. Everyone should invest in a pond.

Just put up a pull request to add a BCH icon to MetaMask for smartBCH! https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/12010
Here are a couple photos of my pond this morning!

Noam Chomsky on Startup Culture in 2015. Quite insightful how he ties Silicon Valley to the state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jhwA1vLEpU
A great tutorial on how to use jq, a JSON parsing command line tool. Very useful if you do development and work with HTTP APIs. https://earthly.dev/blog/jq-select/
Listening to some Keller Williams. An amazing one man jam band. This station makes your heart light up and feet dance around. https://pandora.app.link/2lOpZB9NMib
New home AV setup with Sonos and Control4. I love having audio all over my home. The folks at Control Freaks Hawaii were excellent and I onboarded them to BCH! The future of money is here!
Just started a public Bitcoin Cash channel on Utopia. Just a place to chat about crypto and BCH! I have only used Utopia for a little while, but it reminds me of KDX and I dig it. If you haven't used Utopia before you can find more information at: https://u.is/en/ NOTE: This is an experiment to see if anyone can find me!
I just donated to the Bitcoin Cash Nigeria flipstarter! https://bch.com.ng/ I promised to match Noise donations up to 10 BCH, and unfortunately there wasn't enough donated to send that full amount. However, I still decided to provide the full 10 BCH! Go BCH Nigeria!
Kernel Pwning with eBPF: a Love Story https://www.graplsecurity.com/post/kernel-pwning-with-ebpf-a-love-story
Bitcoin Cash Nigeria has put up a flipstarter! They have a plan to help merchants, provide educational materials, and host meetups thought the country and they need our support! I am willing to match any donations from the Noise community for the next 24 hours up to 10 BCH! Lets make this happen! https://bch.com.ng/

If you are in the US I highly recommend calling your Senator and telling them you are against the infrastructure bill! I have more details in my previous noise! (202) 224-3121 https://www.senate.gov/general/contacting.htm EDIT: A very informative twitter thread about this issue https://twitter.com/jchervinsky/status/1423653963191230471
All US citizens should read this thread and contact their senators to support crypto currency development and progress, and not watch the rest of the world build the financial future of the planet while we have our heads in the sand. We only have one good shot at this folks. We have no time to lose, they are trying to slip in bad legislation RIGHT NOW. https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1423744994444206092 You can send a quick message to your senator from https://p2a.co/y19AJ6V
A few days ago I recommended Invizible Pro to all the Android users on Noise. Now I want to share DNSCloak for iOS! Regain your privacy, and make it harder for your ISP to snoop on your data! Plus it only takes a few minutes to setup! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dnscloak-secure-dns-client/id1452162351
