We’re happy to announce that BusKill can be installed on Linux directly with apt

What is BusKill?

BusKill is a laptop kill-cord. It's a USB cable with a magnetic breakaway that you attach to your body and connect to your computer.

Watch the BusKill Explainer Video for more info youtube.com/v/qPwyoD_cQR4

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys -- thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device.

This can be done by querying the "Hidden Service Descriptor".

By default, Onion Services publish a "Hidden Service Descriptor" to the Tor network’s distributed Hidden Service Directory (HDir) every 3 hours.

The Hidden Service Descriptor returned by the HDir contains the metadata necessary for a client to connect to the Onion Service.

If a given Onion Service’s Hidden Service Descriptor cannot be found, then the Onion Service is likely dead.

Script

Here's a simple python script that queries the HDir for a list of onions

from stem.control import Controller
from stem.descriptor.hidden_service import HiddenServiceDescriptorV3
 
onions = ['2n3tvihf4n27pqyqdtcqywl33kbjuv2kj3eeq6qvbtud57jwiaextmid.onion', '32qywqnlnqzbry42nmotr47ebts3k6lhiwfob6xniosmepz2tsnsx7ad.onion', '4colmnerbjz3xtsjmqogehtpbt5upjzef57huilibbq3wfgpsylub7yd.onion', '6voaf7iamjpufgwoulypzwwecsm2nu7j5jpgadav2rfqixmpl4d65kid.onion', '6w5iasklrbr2kw53zqrsjktgjapvjebxodoki3gjnmvb4dvcbmz7n3qd.onion', '7drfpncjeom3svqkyjitif26ezb3xvmtgyhgplcvqa7wwbb4qdbsjead.onion', 'ae3w7fkzr3elfwsk6mhittjj7e7whme2tumdrhw3dfumy2hsiwomc3yd.onion', 'chillingguw3yu2rmrkqsog4554egiry6fmy264l5wblyadds3c2lnyd.onion', 'fzdx522fvinbaqgwxdet45wryluchpplrkkzkry33um5tufkjd3wdaqd.onion', 'gku6irp4e65ikfkbrdx576zz6biapv37vv2cmklo2qyrtobugwz5iaad.onion', 'gois4b6fahhrlsieupl56xd6ya226m33abzuv26vgfpuvv44wf6vbdad.onion', 'j4dhkkxfcsvzvh3p5djkmuehhgd6t6l7wmzih6b4ss744hegwkiae7ad.onion', 'jabjabdea2eewo3gzfurscj2sjqgddptwumlxi3wur57rzf5itje2rid.onion', 'jaswtrycaot3jzkr7znje4ebazzvbxtzkyyox67frgvgemwfbzzi6uqd.onion', 'jeirlvruhz22jqduzixi6li4xyoweytqglwjons4mbuif76fgslg5uad.onion', 'jukrlvyhgguiedqswc5lehrag2fjunfktouuhi4wozxhb6heyzvshuyd.onion', 'mrbenqxl345o4u7yaln25ayzz5ut6ab3kteulzqusinjdx6oh7obdlad.onion', 'nixnet54icmeh25qsmcsereuoareofzevjqjnw3kki6oxxey3jonwwyd.onion', 'qawb5xl3mxiixobjsw2d45dffngyyacp4yd3wjpmhdrazwvt4ytxvayd.onion', 'qwikoouqore6hxczat3gwbe2ixjpllh3yuhaecixyenprbn6r54mglqd.onion', 'qwikxxeiw4kgmml6vjw2bsxtviuwjce735dunai2djhu6q7qbacq73id.onion', 'razpihro3mgydaiykvxwa44l57opvktqeqfrsg3vvwtmvr2srbkcihyd.onion', 'rurcblzhmdk22kttfkel2zduhyu3r6to7knyc7wiorzrx5gw4c3lftad.onion', 'szd7r26dbcrrrn4jthercrdypxfdmzzrysusyjohn4mpv2zbwcgmeqqd.onion', 'xdkriz6cn2avvcr2vks5lvvtmfojz2ohjzj4fhyuka55mvljeso2ztqd.onion', 'xiynxwxxpw7olq76uhrbvx2ts3i7jagqnqix7arfbknmleuoiwsmt5yd.onion', 'xmppccwrohw3lmfap6e3quep2yzx3thewkfhw4vptb5gwgnkttlq2vyd.onion', 'ynnuxkbbiy5gicdydekpihmpbqd4frruax2mqhpc35xqjxp5ayvrjuqd.onion', 'yxkc2uu3rlwzzhxf2thtnzd7obsdd76vtv7n34zwald76g5ogbvjbbqd.onion']

Why was I banned from GrapheneOS? That’s a good question.

Why I was banned from GrapheneOS by Daniel Micay)

A major leap forward in decentralized finance is now live: Freedom Dollar (fUSD), the world’s first private, algorithmic stablecoin, is officially trading on Swapter, a no-KYC peer-to-peer exchange. But this partnership goes far beyond a simple token listing—it represents a powerful alignment between two groundbreaking technologies, united by a shared mission: to return financial control to the individual.

A Private Stablecoin for a Private World Built on the privacy-first Zano blockchain, fUSD brings something the crypto world has never truly had before—a dollar-pegged stable asset with full protocol-level privacy. Every fUSD transaction is shielded by Zano’s stealth addresses, ring signatures, and confidential amounts. That means no bank, no government, and no blockchain analysis firm can see who you’re transacting with—or even that a transaction took place.

And unlike USDT or USDC, no entity can freeze your funds. There’s no company behind fUSD. No CEO. No boardroom. Just cryptographic code, auditable reserves, and a market-driven algorithm that keeps the peg close to $1 at all times. fUSD is overcollateralized by real ZANO reserves and accessible to anyone, anywhere—no permission needed.

Why Swapter Is the Perfect Match Swapter.io is a decentralized instant exchange platform that lets users swap thousands of assets across multiple networks—no registration, no KYC. It offers:

Native support for Zano-based assets, enabling fully private trades

Instant liquidity with no account creation required

Automated routing to ensure the best available rates

Access to over 2,000 cryptocurrencies

Zero upper limits on trade size

A built-in referral system that rewards users

Swapter is purpose-built for fast, secure, censorship-resistant transactions—making it the ideal gateway for fUSD.

Real-World Use Cases For individual users, fUSD on Swapter enables instant, private transfers of stable value—perfect for protecting against inflation or converting trackable fiat into anonymous crypto. Merchants and freelancers can receive payments discreetly, without revealing balances or going through banking hurdles. And investors finally have a stablecoin that doesn’t expose their wallet activity or risk blacklisting.

This partnership also enables arbitrage opportunities and privacy-preserving hedging strategies across platforms, unlocking powerful tools for traders and institutions alike.

How to Get Started With Swapter Set up a Zano wallet

Visit Swapter.io

Select your fUSD trading pair

Swap instantly—no signup, no KYC, just pure crypto freedom

The Road Ahead The fUSD × Swapter partnership is just the beginning. Together, they are laying the foundation for a global ecosystem of privacy-first DeFi. Expect deeper integrations, merchant tools, more trading pairs, and a wave of new applications built on Zano’s encrypted financial rails.

This is more than a feature update. It’s the start of something much bigger—a truly private, decentralized economy.

3. We positively confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the 
   integrity of our systems are sound: all our infrastructure is in our 
   control, we have not been compromised or suffered a data breach, we 
   have not disclosed any private keys, we have not introduced any 
   backdoors, and we have not been forced to modify our system to allow 
   access or information leakage to a third party in any way.

4. We plan to publish the next of these canary statements before the
   Expiry date listed above. Special note should be taken if no new
   canary is published by that time or if the list of statements changes
   without plausible explanation.

Special announcements
=====================

1. We are changing from twice-yearly to once-yearly canaries

Disclaimers and notes
=====================

This canary scheme is not infallible. Although signing the 
declaration makes it very difficult for a third party to produce 
arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force or 
other means, like blackmail or compromising the signers' laptops, to 
coerce us to produce false declarations.

The news feeds quoted below (Proof of freshness) serves to 
demonstrate that this canary could not have been created prior to the 
date stated. It shows that a series of canaries was not created in 
advance.

This declaration is merely a best effort and is provided without any 
guarantee or warranty. It is not legally binding in any way to 
anybody. None of the signers should be ever held legally responsible 
for any of the statements made here.

What is a Warrant Canary?

The BusKill team publishes cryptographically signed warrant canaries on an annual basis.

Although security is one of our top priorities, we might not be able to inform you of of a breach if served with a State-issued, secret subpoena (gag order).

The purpose of publishing these canary statements is to indicate to our users the integrity of our systems.

If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys -- thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device.

You may have also heard of a tool with a similar goal, known as torsocks, which works by overwriting all network-related libc functions in a way to route traffic over a SOCKS proxy offered by Tor. While this approach is a bit more cross-platform, it has the notable downside that applications making system calls not through a dynamically linked libc, either with malicious intent or not, will leak data.

Very insightful interview from Whitney Webb (last part of the show). We are already starting to see the same pattern that we’ve seen with Trump’s first term where Trump surrounds himself with deep state figures to advance the surveillance state agenda. At which point liberty-minded Trump supporters will start questioning the role played by Trump?
