Decrypt. (2026). Heatbit's $899 water heater element mines Bitcoin while it heats your tank. Decrypt]
@kurtwuckertjr pools and hot tubs 🤔
The tech firm Heatbit recently introduced Bitwater, a specialized hardware component engineered to replace standard internal resistance coils inside common household electric water heaters. Instead of functioning as a simple metal wire loop, this drop-in upgrade features twenty integrated application-specific integrated circuit mining chips. These silicon microprocessors operate at a power consumption of up to six hundred watts while executing approximately thirty-four trillion cryptographic hash operations every second. This computational processing secures the underlying decentralized network, generating continuous cryptocurrency payouts for the property owner.
Rather than dispersing the massive thermal output into a room via loud mechanical ventilation fans, the system utilizes the surrounding tank liquid as a direct cooling agent, capturing the thermodynamic dissipation to warm the household water supply. The physical dimensions of the component conform precisely to the standard one-inch opening commonly found on most thirty-to-eighty-gallon residential electric storage tanks throughout the United States and Canada. This standardized design allows homeowners to complete the installation process independently after safely draining the municipal reservoir.
The foundational value proposition centers on converting standard utility expenses into productive dual-purpose energy usage. Independent financial projections indicate that operating the system at maximum continuous load can generate roughly one dollar and twenty-five cents daily, which translates to approximately four hundred and fifty-five dollars annually. However, actual monetary yields remain subject to volatility driven by global cryptocurrency market evaluations and fluctuating network computation difficulty metrics.
Because the hardware generates thermal energy at a slower rate than the traditional forty-five hundred-watt heating elements typically found in residential systems, it is designed to replace only the secondary heating element. The primary upper element inside the storage tank remains active to handle heavy demand spikes during high-use morning periods. Initial product reservations are currently being accepted, with the earliest commercial distribution logistics scheduled to begin in early 2027.

Scammers planted 38 lookalike addresses and fake USDT transfers in his history, hoping he would copy the wrong one. Of five big “round” moves that appear in his records, three used a counterfeit token. #binance
The Binance hacker was address-poisoned 36 seconds after funding his first wallet. Scammers planted 38 lookalike addresses and fake USDT transfers in his history, hoping he would copy the wrong one. Of five big “round” moves that appear in his records, three used a counterfeit token. Only 700 million real USDT left the drain wallet; over a billion remains frozen by Tether. The trap works on anyone who pastes from their own transaction list. Always check the middle characters of an address.
Address poisoning isn't aimed at noobs.
It's aimed at anyone who copies from their own history.
It found the biggest thief in crypto in 36 seconds.
It will find you too.
Check the middle of the address, not just the start and the end:
THE BINANCE HACKER GOT ADDRESS-POISONED 36 SECONDS AFTER HIS FIRST GAS. AND 3 OF HIS 5 "ROUND BLOCKS" ARE FAKE
i went through the drain wallet (0x5227…2f8c) in tracehound. the poisoners were on him before his money was.
1/ THE FIRST MINUTE
20:29:11 UTC: 0.5 ETH of gas to a fresh wallet, 0x9749…c762.
20:29:47: a lookalike, 0x9749f7…c762, sends that wallet dust.
20:30:11: the 500,000,000 USDT lands.
the trap was set 24 seconds before the money arrived.
2/ THE SCALE
38 lookalikes of his wallets.
17 of his wallets targeted. ethereum, arbitrum, polygon.
dust, zero-value transfers, fake ETH, transfers planted "in his name".
3/ THE "ROUND BLOCKS"
his history shows USDT going out in 500M, 200M, 200M, 500M, 200M.
only two are Tether (0xdac1…1ec7):
20:30:11 · 500M → 0x9749…c762
20:33:23 · 200M → 0x0ddf…697e
the other three are a token called "Tether USD" at 0x11d0…1cac:
04:39:35 · "200M" → 0x0ddb…697e
04:43:35 · "500M" → 0x9745…c762
05:10:11 · "200M" → 0x0ddb…697e
same first characters, same last characters as his real wallets. fake token, fake transfers, written into his history so he copies the wrong address.
4/ WHAT'S REAL
real USDT out of the drain wallet: 700M, not 1.6B.
1.175B USDT is still in it, frozen by Tether.
takeaway:
address poisoning isn't aimed at noobs. it's aimed at anyone who copies from their own history.
it found the biggest thief in crypto in 36 seconds.
it will find you too. check the middle of the address, not just the start and the end.

Satoshi had a vision.

If unbounded complexity is fully containable by audits, the design space opens completely. Full Turing-complete script on the base layer becomes practical. AI agents continuously rewrite and verify contracts at consensus. Vaults evolve into autonomous adaptive organisms that detect threats, recover funds, and optimize in real time. High-value systems gain the full power of general computation without the historical loss pattern. The limit becomes physics, not intentional simplicity.
The image is a pro-BSV flowchart of Bitcoin's history. It starts from the white paper and genesis block, shows BTC branching off via SegWit/Lightning/Taproot (capped at ~7 tps), BCH as a larger-block fork (~100 tps), and claims BSV continues the original protocol with unlimited block size, 1M+ tps, and tiny fees. Top portrait is Craig Wright.

Everyone is talking about the hack & this dude literally fucking predicted it??

No other widely used app combines that volume of personal telemetry with that jurisdictional risk.

The meta-analysis here is that software that can’t be upgraded immediately (most of crypto), is in an extremely precarious position
Later today, we are officially ending all remaining support for the Iron Fish network.
A few days ago, we observed abnormal activity involving wIRON and the ChainPort bridge. After working with ChainPort and reviewing their logs, we discovered that the cause was an inflation bug in the Iron Fish blockchain itself.
We traced the bug to a commit from early 2019 in the Merkle tree implementation. The developer at the time implemented a standard Merkle tree. However, because of nuances in how a note’s nullifier is calculated (the mechanism that lets a normal user spend their funds), the attacker was able to spend the same note more than once.
The attacker then compounded the exploit, aggregated their notes, and exited through the ChainPort bridge. This code path was within the scope of both our external and internal audits, but the bug wasn’t caught during review.
For closure, we’ve committed the patch for the exploit, with a detailed postmortem included in the PR, before shutting down and archiving the ironfish repo.
The meta-analysis here is that software that can’t be upgraded immediately (most of crypto), is in an extremely precarious position. The ability to find and exploit vulnerabilities in technically complex code is becoming commoditized. Safety guardrails on US frontier models make it difficult for companies to use them to patch security vulnerabilities, while abliterated open-source models are approaching frontier capabilities.
We wish everyone all the best, and we hope crypto finds a path through this.
Thank you all.

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is caused by #BORRELIA INFECTION.
Borrelia infection disables the autonomic nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system innervates the arterial wall muscles and because it is disabled by the Borrelia. This results in #dysautonomia.
Normally, when a person stands, the autonomic nervous system contracts the arterial volume in the lower extremities which prevents gravity from pooling of the blood volume into the lower body.
Because the autonomic nervous is disabled by the Borrelia, pooling of the blood occurs. This drops the blood pressure and results in the brain not having enough blood.
The #tachycardia occurs in order to compensate, but this is not adequate and the patient will drop to the ground.
Every patient with POTS must be properly tested for Borrelia infection !!!!!
Eradication of the Borrelia infection cures the POTS. #POTS
