I found this book extremely compelling when it first came out. Now it just reads like the news… I imagine increasingly illiberal democracy with its “elected autocrat” will continue to ensconce itself.

There's always something interesting happening at stacker.news. Typically the content isn't video, but the good stuff probably will be once you get a hold of it...
I know you're already hip to sn, but figured it's a good reminder given the question.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Recent Advances in Exposing Criminals using Bitcoin
https://www.bitcoinisforcriminals.com/
I've been working my way (very slowly) through the [PlebDevs](https://www.plebdevs.com/) Adversarial AI course, and also just finished a similar workshop put on by [Africa Free Routing](https://freerouting.africa/). The joke's on them though! It gave me the tools to expose bitcoiners for what ~~we~~ you really are! Mwahaha!
I would like to present to the world bitcoinisforcriminals.com 2.0. It was vibe coded, let's just say, very quickly.
Let me know of any criminal masterminds I may have missed[^1], and feel free to share this resource with anyone working on advancing the cause of stopping this decentralized, criminal network.

This is the Easiest Constitutional Question of Our Time
https://www.tuttletwins.com/blogs/newsletter/this-is-the-easiest-constitutional-question-of-our-time
"It would be smart of us to realize that when the reasoning changes week to week, it’s usually because the reasoning hasn’t actually been done at all.
The last time we assembled this kind of force in the Middle East, Americans were assured it would be swift and decisive. Two decades, trillions of dollars, thousands upon thousands of lives and limbs lost, and families shattered forever later, we know how that story ended.
No thanks. I’ve seen this one before."

That quote is great. A little off topic, but it reminds me of this great line towards the end of Letter from Birmingham Jail:
"Never before have I written so long a letter. I’m afraid it is much too long to take your precious time. I can assure you that it would have been much shorter if I had been writing from a comfortable desk, but what else can one do when he is alone in a narrow jail cell, other than write long letters, think long thoughts and pray long prayers?"

CBS confirmed ransom note for Nancy Guthrie with key details
https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-breaking/2026/02/03/nancy-guthrie-ransom-notes-reports-what-to-know/88498884007/
This sounds really tragic. It's interesting to me that they say that they're looking for help, but no one is sharing the kidnappers' demand address. It seem to me that this would make it possible for the whole world to be help out. I can also see a scenario where that might put the hostage in danger. I don't presume to be even close to an expert in law enforcement, but law enforcement also hasn't proven to be the best at investigating on-chain. In the meantime, we can pray for the victim and family.

Snowflake
https://snowflake.torproject.org/
I don't hear much from the bitcoin/nostr/freedomtech movement about Snowflake. Maybe I'm missing something that's not quite right which more technical folks than myself can explain. Maybe it's just not on a lot of people's radar. Maybe it is discussed, but I just haven't noticed. Anyway, what is everyone's opinion on Snowflake? Am I missing something or is it low hanging fruit for helping to curb global censorship?

Conway's Game of Pacman
https://conwaysgameofpacman.xyz/
### Conway's Game of Pacman
TLDR: This is a game that looks like pacman, but the walls move like Conway's Game of Life while you collect bitcoin. You can record your score using **any** nostr profile. You get one free game a day and then pay me sats. You can zap profiles on the leaderboard. It is way harder on mobile than on desktop.
# You can be a winner at Jon Conway's Game of Life
I've been fascinated by [Jon Conway's Game of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life) for years. There are more rabbit holes within these rules than are possible to explore in this post. Suffice to say, if you're not familiar with Conway's Game of Life or cellular automaton, go check that out now.
A couple of summers ago, with no coding experience, I took the first plebdevs course by @bitcoinplebdev solely because I thought the advertisements were hilarious. I saw the [nostr](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G10GuRXn_MA) ad and started with that one first, but quickly realized that I needed to back up and start with the plebdevs front end course. Immediately, I wanted to play around with css. So, I found someone else's Conway's Game of Life, cut and pasted the javascript that I still didn't fully understand at the time, and made this:
https://conwaysgameoflifewithatwist.vercel.app/
Mostly, I wanted to make it look cool, but I figured I should learn SOMETHING about javascript while doing this. So, I made it possible to interact with the model in real time. If you move the arrows, the Conway's Game of Life will treat the white dot you're moving as a live cell.
Naturally, that led to this:
https://conway-s-life.vercel.app/
which I will not apologize for.
# Pacman
Anywho, I only recently learned that you can literally just tell an LLM to make you a program, and it will. I had been using these things to fix my code, but they will literally write TONS of it from scratch. So I made this: https://www.turtlewordgame.xyz/ mostly to see if I could, but partly to see if I could make something that someone could load up in the Fedi app and use all the WebLN features. Plus...you should just check out how much data that NYT Games app collects...
But there's more action in action games than word games, so I'm making this: https://checkmate-zeta.vercel.app/ It's going to be great, but it's really complicated, and I'm losing faith that **other** people will actually enjoy it.
But everybody loves the classics. That's when I had this vision of Pacman, but the walls are Conway's Game of Life...and they kill you. I'm pretty sure that @grayruby is going to tell me it's too hard, but bear with me. There are other cool features.
![](https://m.stacker.news/126211)
# Bitcoin
Also, instead of collecting glowing dots, you get bitcoin in this game. It's not real bitcoin, but it's called bitcoin in the game, so I think that's neat and maybe you will too. Each bitcoin is worth five points, in addition to the points you generate as each generation of Conway's Game of Life progresses.
# Spaceships
I've added some iconic Conway's Game of Life items as you go, just in case the universe starts to die out.
# Kind of a nostr client?
One of the things [TURTLE](https://www.turtlewordgame.xyz/) taught me is that people love a good leaderboard. So in this game, you can sign in with an npub. That's right, you sign in with an **npub** and not an **xpub**. In other words, you send Edward Snowden to the top of the charts if you want to.
![](https://m.stacker.news/126210)
If you go into the game, you'll notice that the profiles of Edward Snowden, Jack Dorsey, Lyn Alden, and @k00b have all made appearances, but as of this writing, it was really all just me. I guess I'll find out quickly how offensive this idea is. But, even if someone else puts you there, being on the leaderboard may get you...
#Zaps
And I added **real** zaps. Currently, it only logs zaps that are done using WebLN (think Alby, Fedi, Zeus), but I may change this. Also, you technically only get one free game a day, but there are currently ways around this, which I won't share, but most folks on sn are way more technical than me to begin with. We'll see how people respond, but I'll probably leave these.

TURTLE leaderboard question
https://www.turtlewordgame.xyz/
![](https://m.stacker.news/125116)
https://www.turtlewordgame.xyz/
It seems that the leaderboard on TURTLE has brought out the competitive spirit in a few stackers. Here's my question. Should it stay like it is, or should I replace the login, in which anyone can play as any name, with nostr profiles, or maybe something else?
I was thinking it'd be cool to let people zap folks on the leaderboard, but I'd hate to know that people were spending sats on a game with the hopes of getting zaps that might not be.
At the same time, it also might be a neat way to link a player to an online profile. It was kind of cool for me to find one @isolabellart's website, and thus all their beautiful artwork, through the name they provided for the leaderboard.
What say you?
@grayruby @SimpleStacker @isolabellart @dagny761
Also, I just went ahead and made it so you had to guess real words in English. All other languages, the guesses can be anything since the word lists are still much smaller and it would make the game nearly impossible.

That’s already huge in South Africa. You can use both nfc on your phone (blink, wos, others) or bolt cards with either other folks’ wallets or bitcoinize POS systems.

Bitcoin is for Criminals
http://www.bitcoinisforcriminals.com
While all of you hooligans have been arguing about OP_RETURN, I've discovered that bitcoin is actually being used by **criminals!!!** I've been hard at work making a [web page](https://www.bitcoinisforcriminals.com) to bring attention to this issue. Please share it with your representative, senator, or any other interested parties so that we can bring attention to this issue.
www.bitcoinisforcriminals.com
Anyway, sorry to throw more FUD on the fire, but it's just true.
1. In all seriousness, let me know ASAP if you think this puts anybody in danger. I figure since all of the "criminals" on here are high profile enough that I could have AI write their rapsheets, this won't create any new issues for anybody.
2. If you want to fix any typos, inaccuracies, add anything, or just make this look professional, let me know and I'll send you the repo. It's literally just an html and css file right now. I had the idea and threw it together pretty quick.

Good call. I certainly wouldn’t call Bitcoin random in its design, but it’s definitely not as well engineered as the whole of creation.

Why didn't I think of this very cool educational resource!? I just found this today (there was a link to it on Barefoot Mining's website, not sure if they made it or not) and had to share. Since I'm posting in the beginner territory, make sure to ask questions if you don't understand what's going on here.

That being said, you could just use a client that filters out all notes with any mention of the word nostr:

Yup! Imagine just signing into twitter to do nothing but talk about twitter. I made a client specifically to filter out content on nostr about nostr, but somebody who’s a real programmer could probably do this much better.

You don’t owe us anything. I feel obliged to share that before sharing this.
I think it might just be helpful to give us more docs in layman’s terms on how public our social elements are. I like it (the social part), but don’t use it yet. I just don’t quite know which of my wallets are still private and which aren’t.
I onboarded a friend to mutiny the other day who I’ll be paying for a product regularly in sats. She hasn’t done kyc and is now in a federation. Her only sats come from my mutiny wallet, which I think I originally funded from some kyc seller when I first learned about bitcoin. Because of that, I can’t speak to how private her sats are, because really I just don’t know. So…I just tell her that she has real bitcoin, but it’s not the highest security level, and it’s not the highest privacy level.
I’m so grateful for what you guys do, but if this is the best guarantee I can find for a recently onboarded bitcoiner…well it’s not ideal. It’s not your responsibility to solve this problem for my friends and community, but I know it’s something you guys value and the social aspect makes it a little harder to discern if mutiny is the best option for this scenario.
After writing this out and thinking for a minute, maybe it might just make sense for somebody to make a list of various wallets and their primary and secondary ideal use cases at any point in their development. Mutiny seems great either way, but you personally write a bunch about the value of privacy, so the social element is just confusing for me as somebody who doesn’t fullyunderstand how that technically plays out. I’m not sure which of my sats I want in my mutiny wallet.
