tl;dr https://pastebin.com/raw/qr8XWFkR - you f*cking ping faster than it pongs. this wasn't discovered until recently. sad.

i put this together. it also contains a mode for CVE-2023-33297 ('headers') which was recently patched - although i wasn't given credit because i have haters @ bitcoin-core and blockstream. they kinda run the show now. i'm even banned from contributing to the bitcoin-core github. much decentralization.

how to reproduce the vulnerability yourself:

1. install bitcoin

2. ./bitcoind

3. edit your ip into attack.go: https://pastebin.com/raw/qr8XWFkR

4. save attack.go

5. snap install go --classic

6. go build attack.go

7. ./attack

8. slow oom crash - enjoy the fireworks

that's... not at all a solution. "just use onfido" doesn't solve deepfakes. too much friction isn't true whatsoever it would just take some solid coders. and finally i don't suggest that anyone work with onfido. they fleeced me out of a $10k deposit in 2018 for kyc services that were falsely advertised as deeply international only for us to realize that wasn't the case at all. no refund. no partial refund. no access to credits anymore. $10k gone because onfido is shady.

i came up with this. it has a lot of moving parts but it's viable. i understand the idea of "why not just publish transcripts in advance on whitehouse.gov" and the answer is because there are too many points of failure, like the risk of shells, rogue actors, dns hijacking, ddos, etc.

these issues are alleviated by multiple blockchains running byzantine fault tolerance against speeches that are monitored and authenticated by public facing figures both beforehand and during the live broadcast.

i know it seems complicated - but it needs to be.

happy to answer any questions if they aren't rude. i understand that this is a lofty proposal and the natural reaction is a knee-jerk "yeah ok" - but give it a read. play with it in chatgpt. this is about viability and computer science theory more so than a tangible effort in establishing a funded operation.

tl;dr blending bleeding edge technologies together to 360 noscope deepfakes.

this is being privately disclosed - but i found it and attest to its authenticity. i'm happy to answer some, but not all, technical questions.
