    Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

    Hunter Beast is the author of BIP 360: a proposal that seeks to provide quantum resistance to Bitcoin, to prevent powerful computer builders from brute forcing arbitrary addresses to steal the funds. But is the quantum threat real? Does the number of qubits really make a difference when the quantum computer is general purpose? Shouldn't other industries outside of Bitcoin, especially governments and banks, be worried about the fragility of elliptic curve cryptography? In this episode, we'll try to answer some of these questions and also refer to Hunter Beast's previous experience with building RGB for Bitcoin tokens. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Time stamps: 01:08 - Introducing Hunter Beast 01:27 - BIP 360 and Quantum Resistance Hunter Beast introduces BIP 360, aimed at making Bitcoin resistant to quantum computing threats, a hot topic due to predictions of advanced quantum computers potentially breaking ECDSA signatures. 02:19 - Defining Bitcoin's Quantum Threat Quantum computing is institutional, not accessible to average Bitcoiners, making verification difficult. The threat is existential but not immediate, though warnings suggest proximity. 03:58 - U.S. Government Warnings U.S. government and institutions are preparing for quantum resistance by 2030, urging upgrades to protect against potential cryptographic breaks. 05:53 - Consensus Challenges Hard forks ensure UTXO migration but face consensus issues; soft forks are preferred, but coins must move to quantum-resistant addresses to avoid vulnerabilities. 06:38 - Bitcoin's Quantum Vulnerabilities Taproot, reused addresses, mempool-published data, and exposed public keys are vulnerable. ~90% of reused address coins are active, reducing concern, but Taproot needs upgrades. 09:41 - BIP 360 Solution for Taproot BIP 360 focuses narrowly on fixing Taproot's vulnerability to long-exposure attacks, enabling wallets to commit to multiple scripts, including quantum-resistant ones like SLHDSA. 13:07 - Signature Schemes ECDSA is Bitcoin's weak point. Lamport and Winternitz signatures are flawed (one-time use), but SLHDSA (using a hypertree of Winternitz signatures) allows secure address reuse. 17:10 - User Experience Impact BIP 360 minimizes changes to user experience, offering opt-in quantum-resistant scripts. Wallets could include security dials, but defaults remain familiar. 20:14 - Transaction Size and Costs Post-quantum signatures are larger (4-8k bytes), but address commitments are minimal (~34 bytes). Block size increases aren't necessary; solutions like Bitzip could scale transactions. 22:27 – Sideshift.ai 23:17 - Drivechains and Layer Two Labs Drivechains offer secure sidechain solutions, decentralizing custody and scaling Bitcoin. Testing is available on Signet, with Litecoin considering implementation. 29:48 - Bitcoin Ossification Debate Ossification (resistance to change) vs. necessary upgrades debated. Quantum threats may force changes as Bitcoin secures more value, despite opposition. 36:36 - Conspiracy Theory Counter Concerns about government-driven fear dismissed; BIP 360 is opt-in, only used if quantum threats emerge, preserving user choice. 54:26 - Quantum Computing Progress IBM's Condor has 1,121 qubits; breaking ECDSA needs ~20M qubits. With quantum advancements outpacing Moore's Law, upgrades are prudent within a decade. 59:58 - Sponsor Plugs Citrea (ZK rollup for Bitcoin financial apps) and Edge Wallet (duress mode, multi-coin support) highlighted. 01:02:30 - BIP 360 Number Selection BIP 360 assigned by reviewers, not chosen by Hunterbeast, reserved for quantum-related proposals. 01:06:04 - BIP 360 Reception from Core Devs Mixed feedback from reviewers like Ava Chow (called it “stupid” but provided useful critique). Still in draft at bip360.org, open for review. 01:11:29 - Unintended Consequences BIP 360 is minimal, unlikely to cause surprises like Taproot's ordinal inscriptions, as it enhances existing functionality. 01:12:42 - Is Quantum Resistance Perishable and Needs Updates? BIP 360 isn't definitive; periodic updates may be needed as quantum computers advance, requiring a proactive Bitcoin culture. 01:19:12 - NoOnes, Bitcoin.com, 01:21:46 - Best Practices for Quantum Safety Avoid address reuse, use native SegWit (BC1Q) addresses, don't expose Xpubs, and consider private mempools like MARA Slipstream for large transactions. 01:24:27 - Closing Remarks Gratitude to Hunter Beast for discussing BIP 360 and quantum threats, wishing success for the proposal.

    Send us a textHello, my beautiful friends!This week, I'm coming to you with part two of our series on The Best Practices of Life—a conversation close to my heart and rooted in both the trail and the truth.As I hike a section of the Pacific Crest Trail-through pines and reflections, and thinking about what it means to live a life guided by systems of love, clarity, and commitment.In this episode, we explore what best practices really mean in real life—not just in the office or on a project plan, but in our hearts, in our food choices, in how we speak to ourselves, and how we follow through when no one else is watching.We'll talk about how to minimize overwhelm, why honesty in communication is everything, how to bring mindfulness and nature into our daily flow, and what it really means to build confidence and trust—starting with yourself.This episode is for you if you're craving structure, flow, and a softer, stronger way of staying on track with your wellness and life goals.Let's walk it out together."And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul."—John Muir[Disclaimer]The content of this podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only.

    “Detection is not the end—it's just the beginning.” — Jerry Mancini, NETSCOUT In this episode of Technology Reseller News, Publisher Doug Green speaks with Jerry Mancini of NETSCOUT about the company's latest advancements in automated threat detection and response—with a particular focus on why telecommunications networks are uniquely vulnerable and high-value targets. NETSCOUT, long known for its deep packet inspection and network performance management, is expanding the capabilities of its adaptive threat analytics—a platform designed not only to detect threats but also to assemble and contextualize them using network-level intelligence. Beyond Detection: Seeing the Full Picture While most cybersecurity tools focus on isolated detections—EDR, firewall logs, and suspicious indicators—NETSCOUT's approach centers on reconstructing the complete threat narrative across the enterprise. By capturing packet data continuously and using workflows to connect disparate detections, NETSCOUT enables investigators to: Understand the root cause and lateral movement Detect activity before and after a flagged incident Integrate signals from multiple sources (EDR, NDR, WAF, and more) Investigate threats in real time and retrospectively Why Telcos Are at Greater Risk Mancini highlights the unique role of telco infrastructure in global data movement, making them prime targets for cyber espionage and traffic manipulation. Attackers, such as the Salt Typhoon group, have used compromised routers and peering points to reroute and eavesdrop on massive data flows—impacting not just carriers but their customers across the internet. Best Practices for Threat Hunters NETSCOUT supports both bottom-up investigations (starting with a detected incident) and top-down threat hunts (searching for indicators tied to known campaigns). The platform's ability to store and search packet-level data gives teams visibility that goes far beyond typical log-based detection tools. Mancini's key advice: “You need more than alerts—you need the data to trace back, understand what happened, and act before it's too late.” Where to Learn More Visit netscout.com to explore solutions in: Network Performance Management DDoS Detection & Mitigation Adaptive Threat Analytics NETSCOUT supports both enterprise and service provider environments and is available to assist with immediate and long-term threat management strategies.

    Advertising Best Practices for SEO and Brand Monetization: 5 Ms of Advertising Explained with SEO Expert, Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS⁠⁠ This extensive Clubhouse plus audio offers a comprehensive guide to advertising best practices for brands, emphasizing monetization and SEO. Favour introduces the "five M's" of advertising: media, measurement, message, mission, and money, explaining how each element is crucial for business growth and brand building. The discussion highlights the importance of intentional content creation, leveraging organic reach before paid advertising, and understanding the customer journey from awareness to conversion. Practical advice includes utilizing platforms like podcasts for deeper connections, optimizing content for search engines, and making informed decisions based on data analytics rather than solely focusing on immediate sales.FAQsWhat are the "Five M's" of advertising and how do they work with the "P's" of marketing?The Five M's of advertising are: Media, Measurement, Message, Mission, and Money. These M's are crucial for building a successful business and brand. They work in conjunction with the traditional "P's" of marketing (Product, Price, Place, Promotion, and sometimes People, Process, Physical Evidence). While the P's define your marketing strategy, the M's provide a framework for executing effective advertising. Favour emphasizes the importance of aligning these two frameworks, asking "how do you get these two to work together hand in hand?" Essentially, the "P's" help define what you're offering and how you're positioning it, while the "M's" guide how you effectively communicate and monetize that offering through advertising.Why is having a "Message" that resonates with your audience so important in advertising, and how does timing play a role?The "Message" is highlighted as a core element. It's not just about having a product, but about sending a message that truly resonates with the target audience at the right time. An effective message helps solve a problem for the audience. The speaker uses the analogy of offering a jacket when someone is looking for a tank top – it's the right message at the wrong time, making it ineffective.How does "Media" function as the "currency" of advertising, and what are some examples?"Media" is described as the "red carpet" of advertising and the "currency of your advertising." Without media, you cannot run ads. This refers to the various platforms and file types through which your advertising content is delivered. Examples include social media platforms (Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram), billboards, TV, radio, and even older formats like newspapers and magazines. Regardless of the platform or era, the content (video, audio, text, image) needs to be uploaded as a "media file" (MP3, MP4, MOV, PNG, JPEG, TXT). The compelling nature of this media (whether it's "catchy" or "hooking") directly impacts its effectiveness in engaging an audience.Digital Marketing Resources:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Latest blogs on SEO optimization and Online Marketing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your Complimentary SEO Discovery Call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Paid Marketing Consultation Call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brands We Love and Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury Products⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!⁠

Our discussion centered around the critical role of email in building and growing an engaged donor list, particularly for fundraising efforts. Vanessa shared her passion for helping organizations develop effective email programs that not only raise funds but also foster meaningful relationships with donors. She provided compelling examples, including her work with Variety BC, where a revitalized email strategy led to significant fundraising success and enhanced donor engagement. We tackled common myths about email communication, such as the misconception that emailing donors too frequently can lead to disengagement. Vanessa emphasized the importance of regular communication, suggesting a frequency of one to two weeks to keep donors informed and engaged. We also explored the significance of storytelling in emails, highlighting how emotional narratives can resonate with donors and inspire them to give. Vanessa offered practical advice on email length, content strategy, and the importance of using a reliable email delivery platform to ensure messages reach their intended audience. We discussed the balance between storytelling and fundraising asks, advocating for a thoughtful approach to when and how to solicit donations. As we wrapped up, Vanessa encouraged listeners to rethink their email strategies and consider the vast potential of email as a tool for relationship building and fundraising. She also shared resources available on her website, thestorytellingnonprofit.com, including articles and her book, "The Storytelling Nonprofit."

Starbucks mandates employees work in the office a minimum of four days a week (Monday-Thursday) starting in October, even offering voluntary exit packages for those who refuse.

    We know that our 'democracy' is, in fact, a kleptocracy that is not fit for purpose IF that purpose is the continuation of complex life on earth. The sociopaths who have stolen control show no signs of shifting to something that works, so it's way past time that ordinary people across all walks of life embraced the tools of participatory democracy and wrought the new system that we need - a new House of the People which would, finally, accrue power to those with wisdom and enact governance of, for and by the people and the planet.  To do this, we need people who are intimately aquainted with these tools, who live them, breathe them, find joy and creativity in them and know how to share them in ways ordinary people understand.  Our House is a collective that exists to do exactly this and in today's episode, we're talking to Katy Rubin and Oli Whittington, two of its core team, to find out what it does and how and why - and, crucially, where it could take us if we all jump on board.  Katy Rubin is a Legislative Theatre practitioner and strategist based in the UK. She is founder of The People Act hub for creative civic practice. She works in partnership with local and national governments, advocacy organizations, and community groups to co-create equitable and innovative public policy through participatory processes that are joyful, creative, and inclusive. Katy is also a member of the Our House UK collective, a Senior Fellow with People Powered: Global Hub for Participatory Democracy, and a Senior Atlantic Fellow at London School of Economics, as well as former executive director of Theatre of the Oppressed NYC. Her Legislative Theatre work with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority was awarded the International Observatory of Participatory Democracy's 2022 award for Best Practice in Citizen Participation.Oli Whittington is the initiator and co-lead of Our House, drawing on his background in participatory design and democracy. Oli's work has focused on unpacking and addressing the concentration of power, including leading democratic innovation at Nesta, Shift Design's participation practice, and as a participatory designer in Arup's urban innovation studio.Together, they are working around all four nations of the UK to help bring the tools of participatory democracy to communities of place, purpose and passion.  They are helping to facilitate local participatory processes with a view to creating National Charters for each Nation and then bringing people together to decide whether we want a united Charter for the whole of the UK or remain separate.  To me, creating a governance system that is fit for purpose is absolutely essential to our moving forward through the pinch point of the Great Transition.  If we can't find coherent, constructive, compassionate, courageous ways to work together, we're sunk—and while there might be courageous, compassionate people within the current system, the overall system is not any of these.  So I dearly hope that by the end of this, you'll want to become involved.
