SNL #42: Ancient apocalypse really?

Summary

We discuss Stacker News top posts, Car & Keyan favorite posts of the week, top stackers and so much more for the week of November 18th, 2022.
Join Car and Keyan to discuss Stacker News top posts, Car & Keyan favorite posts of the week, and top stackers.

We discuss:
  1. @artdesignbySF released a fun art series titled Greedy pigs featuring prominent autocrats midjournied into pigs.A
  2. Binance flooded the mempool with UTXO consolidations again. As back in May, many of the txs filling up the mempool involve an address associated with the exchange.
  3. The Blockstream Jade team stopped by for an AMA. We learn about their latest firmware update enabling the hardware wallet's camera for air-gapped tx signing. We also learned about security tradeoffs in hardware wallet design, how they attempt to reduce exploit surface area, and more!
  4. In @joemartinmusic's latest music value for value experiment, he shared his country music single on Fountain. IMO this is the right kind of hack, and something companies like Wavlake will provide natively soon.
  5. Another Lightning exploit tool was released, preimage stealer, targeting preimage reuse. Funds in route on Lightning get unlocked when the receiver releases a secret, aka a preimage. These secrets should strictly be one time use, else people with knowledge of past secrets can take funds intended for the receiver. This tool builds a database of previously seen secrets, waiting for them to be reused so it can steal funds.
and why Keyan is fascinated by Grahm Hancock this week. For the week of November 18th, 2022.
