πΈ The Man Locked Out of $200 Million in Bitcoin
Stefan Thomas, a German-born programmer living in San Francisco, owns a small hard drive that holds the keys to a fortune β 7,002 Bitcoin, worth over $200 million. But thereβs one problem: he forgot the password. The drive, an IronKey, gives users only 10 attempts before it encrypts itself forever. Heβs already used up 8. Stefan earned the Bitcoin back in 2011 for making a video about how cryptocurrency works β and promptly forgot about it. Years later, as Bitcoin skyrocketed in value, he found the IronKeyβ¦ but not the password. βI would just lay in bed and think about it,β he said in interviews. βThen Iβd go to the computer with a new strategy, and it wouldnβt work.β Now, he refuses to let the pressure consume him. βTime heals all wounds,β he jokes β even the ones worth $200 million.

Jack Dorsey has announced a new decentralized messaging app called Bitchat. Itβs a peer-to-peer public domain messaging project that operates over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh networks. Bitchat is said to offer a more secure method of messaging, protected by end-to-end encryption. The app doesnβt require internet, an account, or even a phone number to function.
