gfh687564··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
why would it pop tether? if anything, it makes tether more profitable, as they can collect the yield on the treasuries and not have to return the principal dollars which are frozen.

think of it this way - if someone steals your iphone, and you lock it, does apple pop? No, apple sells you another one. locked devices are good for apple because it causes more demand.

gfh687564··on Show HN: Stoke Money – Personal finance app built around a cash flow forecast
Forget SaaS, What the world needs is this but local. And open source, with bots scanning it constantly for vulns.

These products are deeply needed, but they are gated behind Saas payments. And this requires significant trust of the provider, as they have visibility of all the financial records of the user.

My understanding is the need for recurring payments is the cost of data integration providers. This cost can be passed entirely to the user if run locally. I would suggest that the integration providers might want to fund such projects if they were Free and Open Source.

Build a stand alone binary that lets users import their own api keys and this product will survive a long time

gfh687564··on Opus5/low can do CryptoNote base58 decoding toolless, in working memory alone
I don't believe this is surprising, base58 encoding exist in Bitcoin addresses, Solana addresses, IPFS hashes and there are countless repos in github with the code. Plenty of examples in the training set. It knows base58. Other encodings, handled without tool calls, might be more difficult unless that mapping was captured somewhere.
