CryptoCurrency

Hi Lemmy,

I'm Martin and have been working on a free and open-source, fully DIY crypto hardware wallet for a couple of months now. I' ve just published the first functional preview of the firmware, which can be built by anyone easily using Arduino IDE, and flashed to a variety of $5-off-the-shelve ESP32 boards from Aliexpress.

The first release will allow for storing up to 30 encrypted seed phrases, and Ethereum signing via Bluetooth Low Energy. Under the hood, it's powered by the cryptographic libraries written and used by Trezor.io.

Support for more interfaces and chains can be added fairly easily due to a modular structure, and there is a whole roadmap planned to extend functionality (starting with support for displays).

If you're interested to learn more, check out the README in the Colibri repository.

Please let me know what you think, and leave a 🌟 on Github if you like the project.

Also if there's anything that you've always missed in or been annoyed by a hardware wallet, your input would be greatly appreciated!

X Payments represents more than just a new way to send money—it is a crucial step in Elon Musk’s plan to transform X into a super app that integrates every aspect of modern life. Drawing inspiration from WeChat, Musk's ambitious vision seeks to create an all-in-one platform where users can manage their communications, finances, and more. By offering integrated banking, securities trading, and a user-friendly payment system, X Payments has the potential to revolutionize the digital payment landscape and shape the future of digital life. However, the journey to success will require overcoming significant obstacles, including regulatory challenges and fierce competition from established players. If successful, Musk’s vision for X could usher in a new era of connected, seamless digital experiences.

Utah’s attorney general is joining a coalition of 17 other states pushing back on the federal government’s attempt to regulate cryptocurrencies, arguing that authority should instead be left to states.

According to court documents, Lichtenstein, 35, hacked into Bitfinex’s network in 2016, using advanced hacking tools and techniques. Once inside the network, Lichtenstein fraudulently authorized more than 2,000 transactions transferring 119,754 bitcoin from Bitfinex to a cryptocurrency wallet in Lichtenstein’s control. Lichtenstein then took steps to cover his tracks by deleting from Bitfinex’s network access credentials and other log files that could have revealed his conduct to law enforcement. Following the hack, Lichtenstein enlisted the help of his wife, Heather Morgan, in laundering the stolen funds.
