i want to go to #rwc2025 but am a bit bummed that the #iacr only accepts payment via credit cards. that is a serious gatekeeper. and when i ask for an alternative option i'm asked if would not reconsider and find a way to use a credit card. this makes me feel very sad, and i wonder where all the cryptographers disappeared that were into anonymous or payments from a less monopolized system. and no i'm not arguing for any #crapto like bitcoin, simple cash or sepa transfers are totally ok)

Wired: "crapto"

Turns out Bitcoin mining really sucks for the people living in the town where the electricity is wasted.

« Texas state law stipulates that a noise is considered unreasonable if it exceeds 85 decibels. For comparison, vacuum cleaners often run at around 75 decibels … But the maximum penalty for breaking that Texas law is a $500 fine »

@molly0xfff i would much appreciate if you would refer to the field you are reporting on as #crapto to clearly distinguish it from the respectable science known as #cryptography. words matter.

thank you.
