One System to Rule All of NYC’s Surveillance

The New York Police Department (NYPD) has long been known for its ambitious approach to policing, but its most pervasive tool isn’t a badge or a bullet. It is a centralized, all-seeing electronic brain called the Domain Awareness System (DAS). In partnership with Microsoft, this platform was designed to give law enforcement an unprecedented, God-like view of the city.

And what could possibly go wrong when you build a system specifically designed to digitally profile every resident in a city of 8 million people?

The All-Seeing Eye of the NYPD

Since its launch in 2012, the DAS has evolved into what a recent civil rights lawsuit calls a “voyeuristic policing platform.” It’s not just a collection of security cameras; it’s a unified ecosystem that combines more than a dozen different data streams into a single, instantly accessible network.

The DAS connects thousands of surveillance feeds, license plate readers, gunshot alerts, emergency, and civilian records, tying together police records and financial aggregation analytics to build comprehensive digital profiles of all New Yorkers.

The cherry on top? The entire system, overseen by the NYPD’s Counterterrorism Bureau, is accessible to all NYPD officers on their mobile phones at any time. This isn’t just a system for detectives in a central control room; it’s a personalized, real-time surveillance dashboard for every cop on the beat.

The Lawsuit: Unreasonable Searches and Chilled Speech

When you build a system that can instantly reconstruct a person’s movements, associations, and personal communications over years, you stop investigating crimes and simply start monitoring lives. That is the central issue driving a recent federal civil rights lawsuit filed by the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP).

The lawsuit argues that the DAS is blatantly unconstitutional, violating two fundamental tenets of American liberty — the Fourth Amendment, offering protection from unreasonable search and seizure, and the First Amendment, which promotes freedom of speech and association.

The PIVX of Tomorrow: Privacy-First Digital Currencies are Poised for a New Dawn

Going by the original vision of Satoshi, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies were meant to provide a freer alternative to existing financial systems. The goal was to create an electronic cash system that didn’t rely on trusted third parties.

While this goal has been achieved by some projects, the influx of retail and institutional investors, as well as growing global adoption, has created a new problem — surveillance. I have been in the crypto space for almost a decade, and I have witnessed firsthand how the playing field has changed. For instance, KYC wasn’t a thing on Binance in 2016. But it is now impossible to create an account on any of these centralized exchanges without “KYCing”. Operations are even restricted in some regions.

More blockchain projects are starting to talk about privacy, but only a few embody this ethos as steadfastly as PIVX. Looking ahead, this privacy-centric coin is not just securing transactions; it’s building a community-driven, locally-adopted ecosystem poised for a significant next phase.

The Past

PIVX made its debut in 2016 as a fork of Dash, but quickly carved out its own path. Its most defining feature remains its commitment to privacy, being the first Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain to add a privacy layer. This move was revolutionary for its time, creating a more energy-efficient and inclusive method for securing financial transactions.

Over the years, the development team has integrated its customized, open-source implementation of the advanced anonymity protocol zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge), dubbed SHIELD.

This technology allows users to conduct transactions with optional privacy, obscuring the sender, receiver, and amount while still proving the transaction’s validity.

The Present

Presently, PIVX development is focused on infrastructure hardening and utility expansion. The core team has been preparing for major protocol updates, including an upcoming multi-account and multi-masternode release for the MyPIVXWallet (MPW).

Crucially, PIVX has also made strategic moves to boost real-world use. Partnerships, such as the one with gift card providers like Cardstorm, have expanded their utility, allowing users to purchase gift cards for thousands of retailers. There is also the Travala integrations, which allows travellers to pay for flight and hotel bookings with PIVX.

The demand for financial privacy in the cryptocurrency market has never been more urgent. As traditional finance systems integrate with digital assets, the specter of pervasive surveillance, data leaks, and regulatory overreach looms large. Governments worldwide are increasingly focused on implementing stringent KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) mandates, leading to a broader recognition that without privacy, an individual’s financial data becomes a public commodity.

This mounting concern has led to a sector surge for assets that offer true censorship-resistance and transactional anonymity. PIVX’s optional privacy, utilizing the proven zk-SNARKs technology, positions it as a vital alternative. By offering a choice between transparent and completely private transactions, PIVX manages to cater to both individual users seeking financial liberty and exchanges/institutions attempting to balance regulatory compliance with user demand for data protection.

The Ambassador Program Impact

For many years, blockchain devs built projects that targeted tech-savvy individuals. But we all know that adoption does not come that way. Grassroot community mobilization is the secret sauce to achieving global adoption.

The recently launched Ambassador Program is PIVX’s direct answer to this need. This multi-tiered initiative (ranging from Advocates to Mentors) empowers community members to lead content creation, organize local meetups, and drive social media outreach.

While it is still in its early stages, the program is already demonstrating an impact on social numbers and community visibility. By recruiting passionate individuals from diverse geographic locations, PIVX is transitioning from a purely technical project to a truly global social phenomenon. These ambassadors serve as the organic, on-the-ground force, turning technical updates into accessible narratives and fostering a personal connection with the community that automated marketing often fails to achieve.

The Future

The ultimate vision for PIVX is to develop circular economies powered by its native PIV coin: a world where PIV is used daily, privately, and frictionlessly. The combination of its core technology and community initiatives lays the groundwork for this future. The PIVX of tomorrow will likely feature the following:

  1. Merchant Integration: As the community grows through the Ambassador Program, local advocates will be key to onboarding small businesses. PIVX’s near-instant transaction speed and low fees make it an ideal medium of exchange for everyday purchases. I walk into a coffee shop and pay with PIV.
  2. Decentralized Governance: PIVX’s DAO ensures that funding and development priorities are decided by its Masternode holders. This self-funding model provides a sustainable mechanism to continually fund local community projects, marketing efforts, and further utility development, ensuring the project remains adaptable to the specific needs of diverse local markets.
  3. The Privacy Mandate: As cash usage declines, the only way to retain financial autonomy is through private digital currency. PIVX stands ready to fill this gap, offering local communities a tool for peer-to-peer exchange that cannot be tracked, traced, or controlled by external entities.

The PIVX of tomorrow is not a mere speculation; it is an organic, community-led movement built on a foundation of sound, privacy-focused technology. By focusing on utility, community growth, and the unwavering defense of financial privacy, PIVX is positioning itself to become an essential currency for a free, decentralized future.

Are Masternodes Still Worth it in 2025?

Back in 2017, masternodes were the talk of the town. It was such a big deal back then that every new crypto project had masternodes enabled. It’s 2025, the hype has died down, and you are probably wondering whether hosting a masternode is still worth it.

In this article, I’ll break down what a masternode investment looks like using PIVX as a case study. I’ll walk you through what masternodes are, their pros and cons, and whether owning one is still profitable.

What is a Masternode?

Masternodes are network nodes with specialized functions. While these functions vary across different blockchains, they are vital for network maintenance, transaction processing, and governance implementation. For example, in the PIVX network, masternodes form the backbone of decentralized governance.

Masternodes are required to lock up an amount of the project’s native coin as collateral. They are rewarded with a pre-defined share of each new block reward.

The Masternode Investment Landscape in 2025

There is no denying that the masternode market has changed drastically over the years. While the early days were associated with high risk/high ROI (often triple digits), there is a more sustainable real yield tied to network utility in 2025.

Running a masternode is still an inherently high-risk investment given the extreme volatility of crypto assets. But I think the focus has shifted towards mitigating risk by demanding established project fundamentals and sustained development.

Perhaps the most significant change is the intensified competitive landscape. Masternodes no longer operate in a vacuum. They must compete directly with sophisticated alternatives across the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, including high-yield Yield Farming protocols, convenient Liquid Staking solutions, and simpler delegated PoS mechanisms.

Pros

  • Passive Income: Masternodes offer a consistent flow of passive income through regular block rewards, paid in the project’s native cryptocurrency.
  • Governance Power: Operators gain influence by participating in the project’s Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), allowing them to vote on crucial decisions and budget proposals.
  • HODLing Incentive: The requirement to lock a substantial amount of collateral enforces a long-term holding strategy, which can be highly beneficial to investors during sustained bull markets.
  • High Barrier-to-Entry: The high collateral cost restricts the number of participants, which can potentially lead to more lucrative rewards and foster a community of highly committed, long-term investors.

Cons

  • Price Swings: The most substantial risk is the dramatic fluctuation in the market value of the collateral coin. A sharp price drop can easily negate the value of the rewards earned.
  • Impermanent Loss: The locked collateral is constantly exposed to market volatility, and a significant devaluation of the coin can result in a net loss that outweighs the cumulative rewards.
  • Technical Difficulty: Running a masternode requires a moderate level of technical skill, including the setup and constant maintenance of a Virtual Private Server (VPS) and diligence in applying software updates, although hosting services can simplify this.
  • Reward Dilution: As the network grows and more masternodes are established, the total block reward is split among an increasing number of operators, leading to a decrease in the individual masternode’s Annual Percentage Yield (APY).

Let’s Talk Numbers

PIVX is a privacy-centric Proof-of-Stake (PoS) coin that has used a masternode system since its inception. Deploying a masternode on the network requires a collateral of 10,000 PIV (around $1,700 at current market prices). This collateral must be locked for the node to be active.

The estimated APY for hosting a PIVX masternode is currently between 15% and 16%, paid in PIVX. And as of press time, there were over 2,000 active masternodes, representing approximately 20% of the total supply locked.

Assuming there are no price fluctuations, which is never the case, a $1,700 investment in a PIVX masternode today will generate an extra $255 in a year’s time. Comparatively, a $1,700 investment in a traditional fixed asset deposit will yield around $76.5, given that the interest rate in many banks is between 4% and 5%.

More realistically, there are two possible scenarios: an increase or a decrease in the value of PIVX within the year. Profits, as well as capital, can be quickly wiped out if prices crash, and vice versa.

Worth it or Not?

Bullish Scenario

  • Strong Fundamentals: PIVX provides clear utility as a privacy coin. Its SHIELD (zk-SNARKs) protocol enhances anonymity, a feature that is highly valued in an environment of increasing financial surveillance. Meanwhile, there are both in-house and external integrations that allow you to spend your PIV coins on things like gift cards, hotel bookings, flights, and even coffee.
  • Decentralized Governance: Masternode operators hold significant power within the DAO, allowing them to directly vote on the project’s future and budget allocation.
  • Sustainable Yield and Supply Lock: An estimated 15% — 16% APY (paid in PIVX) is a competitive return, and the fact that approximately 20% of the total supply is locked signals a strong, committed investor base and reduces immediate selling pressure.

Bearish Scenario

  • Regulatory Scrutiny: Privacy coins like PIVX face an ongoing risk of regulatory action, which could lead to delisting from exchanges, thereby severely limiting liquidity and price stability.
  • Market Competition: PIVX must continually compete with other dominant privacy coins (e.g., Monero and Zcash) and increasingly popular, more accessible staking alternatives across the crypto ecosystem.
  • Price History Concern: Similar to many older altcoins, PIVX’s price has struggled to reach previous all-time highs, meaning the investment’s ultimate success relies heavily on future coin appreciation rather than just the fixed reward rate.

Conclusion

For an investor in 2025, a masternode is worth it if two conditions are met. Firstly, you must believe in the long-term potential of the project. Secondly, you must be prepared for notable price swings. A masternode investment should be viewed as a way to accumulate a valuable asset over time, rather than a fixed fiat income stream.

Google Abandons Plan to Kill Tracking Cookies, Leaving 3 Billion Chrome Users Under Corporate…

Google Abandons Plan to Kill Tracking Cookies, Leaving 3 Billion Chrome Users Under Corporate Surveillance

After years of broken promises to eliminate third-party cookies in its Chrome browser, Google has thrown in the towel. The search giant is choosing to maintain the status quo, allowing the invasive data-harvesting to continue unabated.

For years, third-party cookies have functioned as the eyes and ears of the digital advertising industry, empowering countless data brokers to build disturbingly detailed personal dossiers on users. Google, whose empire is built on nearly 80% advertising revenue, first pledged in 2020 to phase out the cross-site tracking mechanism by 2022. However, the tech giant has been paralyzed by its own conflict of interest.

The supposed successor to the cookies, Google’s much-hyped “Privacy Sandbox” initiative, is being dismantled. The company is retiring key privacy-preserving technologies, such as the Attribution Reporting API, IP Protection, and On-Device Personalization, citing “low levels of adoption” and ecosystem feedback.

In essence, Google has phased out the very tools designed to grant you more privacy, while keeping the primary engine of surveillance alive and well.

This stunning reversal is a clear concession to corporate pressure, demonstrating a fatal flaw in the idea that a company built on tracking and selling data could truly champion user privacy. By failing to deprecate the cookie, Google avoids the market disruption that would have hurt not only competitors but its own ad business.

“The verdict is clear: your data is more valuable than your consent,” stated a digital ethics observer. “Google has cemented its role as the ultimate gatekeeper, ensuring that the age of mass, systemic surveillance remains the default experience for the world’s three billion Chrome users.”

Market Pulse

  • Masternode Count: The number of active masternodes plunged to 1,979, down sharply from last week’s 2,071. This decline follows a week where PIVX saw a significant price spike as attention shifted to privacy coins. This sharp drop suggests that some masternode owners may have opted to take profit following the recent rally in direct response to the market’s bullish price movement.
  • Price Check: PIVX experienced a high-octane week, with its Daily USD Value swinging dramatically between $0.18 and $0.25. This translated to a robust weekly average of $0.2083, shattering the prior week’s $0.15 average. While prices briefly touched $0.33 during the peak, a late-week decline reflected broader market pessimism, leading to a slight consolidation.
  • Trading Buzz: Riding on the wave of last week’s excitement, PIVX trading volume surged again, climbing to nearly $260 million this week. This is more than double last week’s already high volume of $104 million.

The Psychology of Privacy

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “privacy?” I bet you think about protecting your space from the eyes of prying neighbours and co-workers. I wouldn’t be wrong to say that privacy is now being framed as a legal or technological problem. Virtually every website has a privacy page, and end-to-end encryption has become a major selling point for apps.

But I think that privacy is a deeply psychological phenomenon. It is an essential human need for control over social interaction and personal information.

Privacy isn’t about Hiding

Traditional definitions of privacy, such as the “right to be let alone,” have been expanded in the psychological context to reflect its active, regulatory nature. Social psychologist Irwin Altman’s influential Privacy Regulation Theory frames privacy not as a static state, but as a dialectical and dynamic boundary regulation process.

The goal, according to Altman, is to achieve an optimal level of privacy. This would mean a fluctuating balance between the desired level of social contact and the actual level. When our actual privacy is less than desired (too much exposure), we feel crowded or annoyed. And when it is greater (too much isolation), we feel lonely. This constant, shifting need for control highlights privacy’s core psychological functions:

  • Self-Development and Autonomy: Privacy offers a critical space for self-reflection, emotional release, and the integration of experiences into a cohesive self-identity. It provides a secure place to “recharge” from social demands and avoid being manipulated or dominated by the expectations of others.
  • Emotional Release: Having a private space allows for the safe expression of feelings and impulses that might be considered inappropriate in public, serving as a psychological “release valve.”
  • Protected Communication: Privacy is a prerequisite for intimacy. The selective sharing of personal information is necessary to build trust, form stable relationships, and receive social support.

The Digital Age and the “Privacy Paradox”

The rise of digital technologies has profoundly complicated our psychological relationship with privacy. A phenomenon known as the Privacy Paradox emerged as a key area of study. People often express high levels of concern about their online privacy, but simultaneously engage in significant self-disclosure on social media and other platforms.

Psychologists have explored several explanations for this apparent contradiction, moving beyond the idea that people simply don’t care:

  1. Privacy Calculus Theory: This is one of the most common models, suggesting people engage in a rational (or seemingly rational) cost-benefit analysis. They weigh the perceived risks (such as identity theft, data misuse) against the perceived benefits (e.g., social connection, personalized services, convenience) of disclosing information. Often, the immediate, tangible benefits are overweighted compared to abstract, long-term risks.
  2. Lack of Awareness and Control: Users frequently lack full information about what data is being collected, how it is being used, and the long-term consequences of disclosure. We are all culprits in this regard. Have you ever read the terms of service of any of the popular apps you use? The bottom line is that when the control is external and the process is opaque, it becomes difficult to maintain the psychological boundary necessary for a feeling of privacy.
  3. Contextual Privacy: The meaning and expectation of privacy are highly contextual. What we willingly share with a peer on a messaging app is very different from what we would share with an employer or a stranger. Yet online platforms often blur these distinct social contexts.

In conclusion, privacy is not withdrawal from society. It is the selective control that empowers us to participate in it on our own terms.

Discord Breach Exposes Government IDs of 70,000 Users Via Third-Party Vendor

Discord has confirmed a significant data breach involving a third-party customer service provider, resulting in the exposure of sensitive government-issued photo identification for approximately 70,000 users.

The company disclosed the incident last week, noting that the breach did not involve a direct attack on its core systems. Instead, hackers successfully compromised an unnamed external vendor responsible for handling customer support and Trust & Safety functions.

The most critical data exposed belongs to users who had communicated with the support teams, particularly those who submitted documents for age-related appeals. Discord stated that these users may have had photos of their government-issued IDs, such as driver’s licenses or passports, exposed.

The volume of the compromise is under dispute. Discord identified about 70,000 users globally who may have had their ID photos accessed. However, the hackers behind the incident have claimed to have stolen a far greater volume of data, including up to 1.5 terabytes of age verification-related photos. Discord has dismissed these larger numbers as “incorrect” and part of the extortion attempt.

In addition to the sensitive photo IDs, the unauthorized party gained access to a wide range of personal information shared with customer service agents, including real names, email addresses, IP addresses, limited billing information, and internal corporate data.

Discord confirmed that full credit card numbers, CCV codes, and user passwords were not impacted by the breach. User messages and activity outside of customer support conversations were also unaffected.

Third-Party Risk Highlights a Systemic Flaw

The incident is a reminder of the escalating risks associated with third-party vendors. A company’s overall security posture is only as strong as its weakest link in the supply chain. In this case, a customer support platform, which often retains sensitive data to manage user appeals, became the primary target.

Following the discovery of the breach, a Discord spokesperson confirmed that the company took immediate action, stating, “We’ve secured the affected systems and ended work with the compromised vendor.” But the deed has been done, and what could possibly go wrong?

Discord has notified all users whose data may have been impacted and is working with law enforcement, cybersecurity experts, and data protection authorities to manage the aftermath of the incident. The company maintains that it will not reward the perpetrators for their illegal actions. Affected users are advised to be highly vigilant for suspicious communications, as the stolen personal data could be used in phishing or identity fraud attempts.
