Outcome not yet known as of record date.• MiCA enforcement after July 1 - ESMA / Bull BitcoinBull Bitcoin is the self-custody-friendly example to watch, while ESMA's wind-down warning is the enforcement backdrop.

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOBAll aboard the vibe trainFTF with Max TQ got some holidays coming upKeonne appealNEWSBisq v1 trade protocol exploit: 11.59 BTC drained, fully reimbursed, hardening shipped in 1.10.0 (bisq.community PSA, Bisq on X, reimbursement plan on GitHub)Disclosed: 2026-05-01Bisq's v1 trade protocol had a missing validation check on taker-side input. Because maker and taker were supposed to use the same miner fee, a malicious taker could push a bad fee value through the transaction math and shrink the multisig output to 0.001 BTC while sweeping the rest into the taker's change. Attacker drained 11.59 BTC from 10 users, all on altcoin trades. Maintainer Henrik Jannsen filed a reimbursement plan on GitHub on May 3, payouts in BTC (with BSQ as optional), DAO vote scheduled around May 25. The hotfix landed as Bisq 1.10.0 on 2026-05-16 with broader hardening: trade protocol checks, network message validation, release verification, supply-chain hardening. The Bisq team explicitly flagged the incident as a likely AI-assisted exploit, though they did not detail how AI was used.Sterlingov Appeal: The Criminalization of Privacy (therage.co)Published: 2026-05-12The appellate court reviewing Roman Sterlingov's Bitcoin Fog conviction openly suggested that mixers remain "legal in theory but not practice" once criminals use them.

Failure was process, not key custody, a UI / signing-flow compromise.Poland passes EU MiCA-aligned crypto bill while Zondacrypto fraud probe deepens (bitcoinmagazine.com)Published: 2026-05-15Polish lawmakers ratified the MiCA framework ahead of the July EU deadline.

BIP-361 forces everyone to move to new quantum-safe address types before that happens.Two phases: first, you can't send to old-style addresses. Five years later, old-style coins can't be spent at all. If you haven't moved your coins by then, they're frozen.Controversial because it means coins that don't migrate get effectively confiscated — including Satoshi's ~1M BTC and anything on lost seeds. Breaks Bitcoin's "your coins are yours forever" promise.BitMEX pushed back with a "wait and see" alternative: only freeze coins if quantum is actually proven to exist.Foundation angle: if you hold your own keys, you just migrate when new address types ship.

Escudo secreto lunarCampo magnético terrestre reduce radiación en la Luna en momentos específicos, revelando protección inesperada para futuras misiones espaciales humanas.Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoDescubren una “cavidad” que baja radiación en la Luna y puede ayudar a proteger astronautas en futuras misiones.La Luna siempre se ha visto como un lugar duro y peligroso. No tiene atmósfera. No tiene un campo magnético propio fuerte. Y está expuesta a partículas que viajan por el universo a velocidades enormes. Esas partículas, llamadas rayos cósmicos galácticos, pueden atravesar materiales, dañar equipos y afectar el cuerpo humano.Pero ahora aparece una sorpresa. Datos de la misión china Chang'e 4 muestran que hay momentos en los que la radiación baja en la superficie lunar. No es un pequeño cambio: llega a caer cerca de un veinte por ciento en ciertas horas del “día lunar”.Esto abre una pregunta que cambia todo: ¿y si la Luna no es tan peligrosa como pensábamos… al menos durante algunos momentos muy concretos?Pero ese escudo aparece poco tiempo y no siempre.Vamos a ponerlo en contexto de forma sencilla. El espacio está lleno de partículas cargadas que vienen de explosiones de estrellas, agujeros negros y otros eventos extremos. Esas partículas se llaman rayos cósmicos galácticos. En la Tierra estamos protegidos porque tenemos dos capas: la atmósfera y el campo magnético.El campo magnético de la Tierra funciona como una burbuja invisible que desvía muchas de esas partículas. A esa burbuja se le llama magnetosfera. Durante décadas, la idea era simple: dentro de esa burbuja hay protección, fuera de ella no.La Luna, que está a unos 384.000 kilómetros de la Tierra, pasa parte del tiempo dentro de esa protección, pero la mayor parte del tiempo está fuera. Por eso siempre se asumió que allí la radiación era constante y alta.Pero los datos del instrumento LND, que mide radiación directamente en la superficie lunar, empezaron a mostrar algo raro. Durante más de 30 ciclos lunares, se repite un patrón: en ciertos momentos, los detectores reciben menos partículas. Y no es un error puntual. Es algo que ocurre una y otra vez, en el mismo punto de la órbita.Aquí aparece el conflicto científico. Durante años, los modelos decían que fuera de la magnetosfera terrestre la radiación debía ser uniforme. Es decir, más o menos igual en todo el espacio entre la Tierra y la Luna.Pero los datos no encajan con esa idea. En la “mañana lunar”, unas horas después del amanecer en la Luna, los niveles de radiación bajan de forma consistente. Sobre todo en partículas de menor energía, que son las más relevantes para el daño en la piel de los astronautas.Esto genera varias dudas importantes. ¿El campo magnético de la Tierra llega más lejos de lo que creíamos? ¿Hay zonas invisibles donde la radiación se reduce? ¿Estamos entendiendo mal cómo se comportan estas partículas?Además, no todos los rayos cósmicos reaccionan igual. Los de baja energía son más fáciles de desviar. Los de alta energía atraviesan casi todo. Eso hace que la protección sea parcial. No es un escudo total, es una reducción.Y hay otro problema: este “refugio” dura poco. La Luna solo pasa por esa zona durante unos dos días en cada ciclo de aproximadamente 27 días. El resto del tiempo, la radiación vuelve a niveles más altos.Ahora viene la parte interesante. Los científicos hicieron simulaciones para comprobar si el campo magnético de la Tierra podía explicar este efecto. Y los resultados coinciden con los datos reales.La explicación está en cómo se mueven las partículas cargadas. No viajan en línea recta. Giran en espiral siguiendo las líneas del campo magnético. A ese movimiento se le llama giro, y depende de la energía, la masa y la carga de cada partícula.Las partículas de menor energía tienen trayectorias más pequeñas. Eso hace que el campo magnético de la Tierra pueda desviarlas incluso a distancias donde pensábamos que ya no tenía influencia.En otras palabras: el campo magnético no se “apaga” de golpe. Se va debilitando poco a poco, pero sigue teniendo efecto mucho más lejos de lo que creíamos.¿Y para qué sirve esto? Para planificar mejor las misiones. Si sabes que durante ciertas horas la radiación baja, puedes programar las caminatas espaciales en ese momento. Puedes reducir la exposición acumulada de los astronautas.No elimina el riesgo. Pero lo reduce. Y en el espacio, cada reducción cuenta.Vamos a aterrizar esto con más contexto. Los rayos cósmicos galácticos están compuestos principalmente por protones, cerca del 85 por ciento. Luego hay núcleos de helio y una pequeña fracción de elementos más pesados. Viajan casi a la velocidad de la luz y pueden atravesar materiales y tejidos.En misiones largas, esa radiación aumenta el riesgo de cáncer, daños neurológicos y fallos en sistemas electrónicos. Por eso es uno de los grandes obstáculos para vivir fuera de la Tierra.La misión Chang'e 4, que aterrizó en 2019 en la cara oculta de la Luna, ha sido clave porque permite medir la radiación directamente en la superficie. No es una simulación. Son datos reales durante años.Además, esta investigación llega en un momento clave. Artemis planea llevar humanos de vuelta a la Luna. Y China también tiene planes para bases lunares.Si se confirma que existen zonas o momentos con menor radiación, eso puede influir en todo:Cuándo salen los astronautas al exteriorDónde se construyen las basesCómo se diseñan los trajes espacialesIncluso abre otra idea: si esto ocurre aquí, cerca de la Tierra, podría pasar algo parecido en otros planetas con campo magnético. Es decir, podríamos encontrar “ventanas de seguridad” en otros lugares del sistema solar.La Luna sigue siendo un lugar peligroso, pero ahora sabemos que tiene momentos un poco más seguros. El campo magnético de la Tierra llega más lejos de lo que creíamos y crea una especie de sombra protectora temporal.Cuéntame qué opinas: ¿te gustaría que las misiones se planifiquen según estos “horarios seguros”?Sigue Flash Diario en Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3hZpVtjGWqgqATmVom54uK?si=2HttGDsxQW6PjeaXKSwI3w.BibliografíaPhys.orgLive ScienceScientific AmericanThe Brighter Side of NewsThe Naked ScientistsUniverse MagazineDaily GalaxyGB NewsConviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.⚡️

The median age of the podcast audience has held at 34 despite massive audience growth The podcast audience is thirteen years younger than the median age of AM/FM radio listeners and 22 years younger than linear television where audiences have a median age of 56. TV is what’s playing in God’s waiting room. Link This is the "secret" formula: "That was the thing that Adam and I agreed on. Adam being the user, and I being the developer. Of course it was his trying to be a developer, and me trying to be a user that was the spark that created the boom. We both made it safe for amateurs to do what we do. That's why podcasting, unlike the music industry, never went to war with its users."
