Summary: On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we touch on Square Crypto venturing in to the hardware wallet space, a Casa client getting drugged on a date, and then destroy our bitcoin-only cred by venturing into projects moving from Ethereum to Solana, PS4 Crypto Mining in Vinnytsa, and TikTok shitcoin promoting, and a new Korean token that takes '˜shitcoin' a little too literally. 'œWe're doing it'. That's what Jack Dorsey tweeted about Square's plans to build a Bitcoin Hardware wallet. Hardware lead at Square Jesse Dorogusker stated 'œWe have decided to build a hardware wallet and service to make bitcoin custody more mainstream. We'll continue to ask and answer questions in the open. This community's response to our thread about this project has been awesome - encouraging, generous, collaborative, & inspiring.' Another Australia-based blockchain company Power Ledger is to migrate to Solana from Ethereum in search of higher speed and scalability. The firm also cited the lower energy output of Solana's Proof-of-History (POH) and Proof-of-Stake (POS) mechanisms in an announcement Monday. The Power Ledger Energy Blockchain is built to audit and streamline the buying and selling of renewable energy. "The Power Ledger technology stack was built on a low-power POS consortium in 2016 before transitioning to a modified fee-less Proof-of-Authority Ethereum consortium chain in 2017," co-founder John Bulich said. "That serves its purpose in the short term but the limitations of this solution were always very apparent, including low transactions per minute," he added. The platform's POWR tokens will still be used for existing clients and remain on the Ethereum network. Jameson Lopp posted a story of a Tinder Date gone wrong for one of his Casa Clients, initiated conversation with a woman who claimed to be a 'œcryptocurrency trader' according to her profile. The two exchanged pleasantries and eventually met up in person. Beyond feeling like her pictures were slightly different from her in-person appearance, the date appeared to be straightforward. It wasn't until the two decided to go back to the man's apartment that things turned sour. According to the post, 'œWhile he was there we suspect the woman laced our client's drink with scopolamine, also known as '˜Devil's Breath,' or a benzodiazepine. These drugs are well known to cause loss of inhibition and memory loss.' 'œSome time later, he believes the woman picked up his phone and asked him to show her how to unlock it and find his passwords,' states the blog post. It goes on to say, 'œOur client woke up the next day in his bed and noticed his phone was missing, though his wallet along with cash, debit cards, and ID were still there.' Ukrainian authorities have raided an allegedly illicit crypto farm in the country. According to an official announcement from the Security Service of Ukraine, the facility was located on the former premises of JSC Vinnytsiaoblenergo, an electricity supply company. The illegal crypto miners concealed their activities by manipulating electricity meters to steal electricity from JSC Vinnytsiaoblenergo. Described as the largest underground mining operation discovered by the Ukrainian police, the farm housed nearly 5,000 computer equipment units, including 3,800 PlayStation 4 consoles, over 500 graphics cards, 50 processing units, notebooks, phones and flash drives. The SBU estimated the state's monthly losses due to electricity theft '" which had the potential to cause electricity shortages for the entire city of Vinnytsa '" to range between $186,200 and $259,300. Several estimates show that Sony's last-gen gaming console, PlayStation 4, is not the ideal rig to mine cryptocurrency. Given its slightly outdated configuration compared to many mining rigs available today, even a 16-console PS4 setup would fail to generate meaningful returns with legal electricity usage.
