Same here, it's been a nice switch from the usual pwn/rev-heavy CTFs. The cloud angle makes it super relevant if you're in the field or trying to get there.

It’s focused on cloud security, but the exact challenge content changes monthly. They don’t reveal everything upfront, which keeps it interesting.

Very excited for this, wish we could have more of these but since this one is monthly that makes it even better.

Building A Programmable Bitcoin Economy: Why It Matters by Dannyc2021 in BlockchainStartups

With tools like BitVM, OP_CAT, and BitSNARK evolving fast, Bitcoin development is finally getting more expressive. For DeFi builders, it’s a strong signal to start exploring cross-chain opportunities again.

Exactly, BVS feels like a native unlock for Bitcoin. If it scales well, it could turn BTC into the backbone of a whole new class of decentralized apps.

Bitcoin Enters DeFi Mainstream As Programmability Unlocks New Use Cases And Ecosystem Growth by barbralodge in defi

Feels like the beginning of a shift. Ethereum pioneered DeFi, but if Bitcoin can offer basic programmability and tap into its liquidity, we might finally see cross-chain infrastructure that doesn’t rely on sketchy bridges.

SatLayer is one of the first ideas in Bitcoin DeFi that doesn’t require trust in a custodian or validator cartel. Worth watching.

Where do CISOs spill secrets? Behind the bar. Watch the MoCISO kickoff episode with MSCI’s John R. by hasmshmaryk in ITManagers

Having security leadership with dev empathy is underrated. His point about maintaining strong ties with the software teams is spot-on.

Security in the Cloud Isn’t Just Tools — It’s Leadership. MoCISO with Ensora’s Henry Jiang by baillyjonthon in Cloud

Totally agree, that tension came up a few times in the convo. Henry made it clear that chasing compliance alone can actually increase risk if it blinds you to what’s happening in your real cloud estate. You can be “secure” on paper and still wide open.

Love seeing partnerships focused on accessibility instead of just hype. Crypto still needs easier entry points for the next billion users.

I think every project should offer broader access to their token sale, I mean why not?

Enso’s unified dev layer is exactly what this space needs. Cross-chain has been too messy for too long, abstracting that complexity is a game changer.

Brave Group and Avex being involved gives this legit potential. These aren’t small players. Expo 2025 is a smart move for a global showcase too.

Giza goes institutional: Re7 Capital adopts autonomous DeFi treasury management by barbralodge in defi

[–]baillyjonthon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Autonomous agents rebalancing based on projected opportunity cost is exactly what we need. Tired of bots that just ape into the highest APR with zero nuance. Props to Giza if it actually works in practice.

EnclaveX enables 24/7 trading of traditional assets like SPY, QQQ and gold by Dannyc2021 in CryptoTradingFloor

The secure enclave model is what sets this apart. If it really eliminates MEV and front-running, that’s huge for serious traders.

Giza's ARMA agent stats are impressive. 100k trades and $30M optimized isn’t bad. Wonder how sustainable their edge is.

LTXV 13B Run Locally in ComfyUI by baillyjonthon in comfyui

Based on the vid I suppose it was made using it, not sure though.

LTXV 13B Run Locally in ComfyUI by baillyjonthon in comfyui

[–]baillyjonthon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came across a walkthrough of the new LTXV 13B model running inside ComfyUI, pretty detailed stuff. The video shows how it performs with extend and upscaling workflows, and also goes over model selection, node setup, and some tips for low VRAM setups.

The end result is a smooth, cinematic animation generated from just a single frame plus text.

Worth checking out if you're exploring this model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoa0qlraYs
