Mystery Man Shines a Spotlight on the Shadiness of Trump’s Crypto Venture

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-01-26 03:05:40

Last month, the Aqua 1 Foundation, founded by Dave Lee, purchased $100 million worth of tokens from the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial (WLF. Someone putting cash directly into the President’s coffers is a normal thing in the Trump era, but there’s something odd about this particular purchase. According to Reuters, Aqua 1 is now the largest publicly known holder of World Liberty Financial tokens, but no one seems to know what the business is or who runs it. Aqua 1

Walking every street in New York City

news.ycombinator.com Matt Green 2026-01-26 15:49:11

Today I walked my final blocks of Staten Island, the only borough I had left to complete. I was quite surprised to find the sign below waiting for me at the finish line, 4300 Amboy Road, which was the randomly selected point where I started the walk back on the last day of 2011. After spending 12+ years reading every dinky little plaque or marker I found across the city, I became genuinely emotional when I saw my own name on one of them.

And now Samsung has finally gotten its flagship there with the Z Fold 7, which is just barely thicker than an iPhone 16 Pro. I got to see one in the office this week, and I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. It really does feel different.

Exploring the Complexity of Distributed Consensus Algorithms in Blockchain

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2026-02-01 16:00:45

Consensus in blockchain isn’t just a technical problem—it’s an intellectual minefield. You’ve got decentralized nodes spread across the globe, each operating under different assumptions, with varying latencies, incentives, and potential motivations, and yet they’re all expected to come to the same conclusion about the state of a distributed ledger. No central authority, no fallback mechanisms, no easy resets. Just code, cryptography, and coordination dancing on the edge of chaos. It’s beautiful
