  Every once in a while I have one of those moments as an investor where everything just clicks. I had that moment a couple of weeks ago with Leadpoet, $TAO subnet 71. What initially caught my attention was the team. To me, they represent what a Bittensor-first team should look like. They're deeply committed to the ecosystem, they execute quickly, and, most importantly, they seem to understand that in the end none of that matters if you don't build a product customers actually want. The product appears to be working really well. Winning the OKX product competition and attracting an inbound pilot with Dropbox are the latest two independent signals that suggest they're solving a real problem for enterprise sales teams. The opportunity they're pursuing is also enormous. Enterprise sales is a market worth billions, and if Leadpoet continues executing the way it has so far, I genuinely believe they have a realistic path to building an eight-figure revenue business next year. And the best part here is that all of that value ultimately flows back into the token. I've also spent quite a bit of time talking with Gavin over the past few weeks and months. Those conversations gave me a very similar feeling about Leadpoet to the one I had with Score when talking with Max. I don't make that comparison lightly. It's great to see Leadpoet finally getting the attention it deserves, and the recent price action reflects that. Although, if I'm being completely honest, I would have loved one more dip to accumulate a bigger position, and I know I'm not the only one thinking that.

  India just ordered hundreds of Google Firebase accounts shut down after authorities found scammers using the platform to impersonate major banks. At least 57 Firebase-hosted websites and databases were targeted for takedown this month alone. Some mimicked banks. Others distributed malicious Android apps. Some were designed to steal financial information from phones. Here's what I find interesting. Firebase isn't some shady hosting company operating out of a basement. It's Google infrastructure. That's exactly why criminals want it. We've spent years teaching people to look for obvious signs of scams. Weird domain. Broken English. Sketchy hosting. Browser warning. No HTTPS. But increasingly the attacker doesn't need to build suspicious-looking infrastructure. They borrow legitimate infrastructure. Google. Microsoft. Cloudflare. GitHub. Dropbox. Whatever gives the attack credibility and reliability. Now imagine the average person inspecting the link. They recognize Google. The connection is encrypted. The page loads perfectly. The certificate is valid. Everything their brain has been trained to interpret as: SAFE may technically be true. Except the person controlling the page is a criminal. That's an important distinction. HTTPS proves your connection to the website is encrypted. It does not prove the person operating the website is honest. A Google URL proves Google is providing infrastructure. It doesn't necessarily prove Google created the content you're looking at. The little padlock was never a morality detector. We just accidentally trained an entire generation to treat it like one. India says scammers have increasingly shifted toward Firebase because its legitimate development tools and database functionality make it useful infrastructure for fraudulent sites and apps.

  A $50 box saves $240 a year on subscriptions and earns $18,000 a year setting it up for clients. No new hardware. Nothing bought at retail. A used office tower. A second-hand drive. One stick of RAM pulled from a dead laptop. The whole build came to 50 dollars. It looks like nothing. Fans humming, one cable to the wall, sitting on a desk next to a coffee cup. The first win is the one nobody talks about. Cloud storage, photo backups, the $20 a month AI plan everyone pays and forgets — all of it moves onto one box you paid for once. 240 dollars a year, gone. The second win is where the money is. Once it runs on your desk, it runs on anyone's. And clients don't pay for parts. They pay to stop bleeding subscriptions. Here's what you actually sell: A private AI trained on their own files, so staff stop pasting company data into a browser. That's $1,500 a setup. A self-hosted file server that kills their Dropbox and Google Workspace bill. $600, plus the relief of never renting storage again. A local automation box that runs invoices, replies, and reports overnight. $900, and it never sends a dollar to a cloud. Then the quiet one: $150 a month to keep it patched and alive. 10 clients on retainer is $1,500 every month before you build a single new one. One setup a week at $1,500 is $18,000 a year. Off hardware other people throw in the bin. I had no degree, no server room, no $2,000 build. Just dead parts and one free weekend. The expensive part of AI was never the compute. It was the monthly bill you agreed to and stopped reading. 50 dollars in. $18,000 out. Same box.

  Ariana Grande said “I’ll see you in jail, literally” to whoever was leaking her music. On Monday, she filed the lawsuit that starts making good on it. The suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, names John Doe defendants she’s suing specifically to identify, accusing them of invasion of privacy, violating California’s Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud Act, and conversion. It describes not a single breach but a pattern stretching back years: in 2019, hackers stole a photographer’s Dropbox login and downloaded unreleased photos. In 2020, a producer’s phone was compromised, surfacing unreleased masters, demos, and recording session footage. In 2023 alone, 45 unreleased songs were stolen and leaked. In 2024, hackers built a fake email domain impersonating a photographer to trick a digital technician into handing over unreleased images. The complaint states that hundreds of similar leaks have occurred since her 2011 debut, with stolen material allegedly resold on the dark web for what it calls significant sums. The 2023 wave is what made the pattern impossible to keep quiet about. One of the leaked tracks, “Fantasize,” a collaboration with longtime producer Max Martin, spread across TikTok well before any release date. Grande addressed it publicly on the Zach Sang Show in early 2024, laughing through her own anger as she called the leakers “thieves, pirates, crooks” and joked she’d pay them more just to make the leak disappear. The lawsuit’s real target isn’t a single hacker. It’s the access itself, the accounts of the photographers, producers, and technicians who work closest to her, treated as the weak point in a system built to protect the artist directly. Grande isn’t suing to recover songs that are already out. She’s suing to find out who keeps getting in.

  they solved this problem in panda by splitting the key space into “ranges.” each range is roughly 100 GB, so when a range grows too large, it can be split and redistributed. (btw panda is an abstraction layer over sharded mysql that dropbox built)

  I’m hesitant to work with Jira again. Co-Founder wants it. My issue is that we don’t have a source of truth. Two brains, agents, & knowledge bases, leaves room for a lot of drift. Any suggestions? I’m thinking GitHub read only repo access might be the vibe. We also use Dropbox sync for artifacts. I just think a third central brain = more tokens and more drift. Might just have to build a full AgentOS.

  Drew Houston on the growth hacks Dropbox used to acquire millions of users Dropbox founder Drew Houston reflects the distribution challenge most startups face in the early days: “You can buy all the AdWords in the world but if nobody’s searching for what you’re making, you have a problem.” Drew eventually landed on a two-step solution to solve Dropbox’s cold start problem. Step 1: make a product that people really love to use. “Good engineering and good design are part of it, but one of the ways I think about it is maximizing the probability that your customer ends up with a solved problem. That’s why Craigslist — which was started in the 1990s and doesn’t appear to have been updated since the 1990s — is by far the most successful business of its kind. You show up at Craigslist and you leave with your concert tickets or your casual encounter or whatever you’re looking for. Even though the design isn’t that great and it isn’t that hard of an engineering problem, it was unbelievably successful . . . [Distribution] starts with a great product and all of the marketing or tricks in the world won’t help you push a rock uphill.” Step 2: give people tools to spread the word “Two things drove the vast majority of our signups today. The first was we created this incentive-referral program where if I tell you about Dropbox you get some extra storage and I get some extra storage, which gave us this kind of currency to work with and people were just doing it for its own sake. People weren’t even using the extra space. They were just referring their friends because they got points. We’d now call it a gamification mechanic, even though I’m not sure that word was even around back then.” Drew continues: “The other thing we did was create this idea of shared folders where if I’m working on a shared project at work or if I want to share photos with my family, then all these new users are brought into the fold just by using the product . . . Now there’s whole body of art and science on how to do that, how consumer internet companies grow, and how viral growth works, but these things were instrumental to how we got started.” Source: @ECorner (Jun 2012)

  I can't get my @bot to login to @dropbox . Anyone else having that issue. It's kind of a big deal for what I am trying to set up with my team. No matter what, it says too many attempts when I try using chrome on my bots screen. The plugin has no place to authenticate. Also I wish I could sign an email login to each bot. Seems we can only link one for the team using outlook. I guess that's why it beta. :)

  From GROK Yes. Max Miller’s attorney released a public Dropbox folder containing an undressed photo of his 2-year-old daughter. It came from a February 2025 text exchange documenting a bruise (later a broken collarbone) noticed during bathing. The image was available for about a day before removal. Miller’s lawyer called it an accidental inclusion of a shirtless photo with no ******** visible. The other side’s lawyers described it as potentially showing ******** and possible CSAM. Miller has acknowledged the photo existed in the materials.

  🚨 Someone built a tool that checks if your email is registered on 120+ sites — without the sites ever knowing someone checked. No notifications sent. No login attempts logged. No alerts triggered. Silent. Invisible. Complete. It's called Holehe. 16,800 GitHub stars. And the technique behind it is what makes it different from every other email OSINT tool. Here's how most email checkers work — and why they fail. Standard approach: try to log in with the email and a fake password. If the error says "wrong password" — the account exists. If it says "account not found" — it doesn't. Problem: every login attempt gets logged. Every failed attempt triggers security alerts on accounts with 2FA. Some platforms lock accounts after repeated failed attempts. The target knows someone was checking. Holehe never attempts a login. Instead it uses the "forgot password" flow — the password reset mechanism that every platform exposes publicly. When you enter an email on a forgot password page, the platform has to check whether that email exists in its database. It tells you: "we sent a reset link" or "no account found." Holehe reads that response. Gets the answer. Never touches the login flow. Never triggers a security alert. Never logs an access attempt against the account. The platform confirms whether the email exists. The account owner never finds out anyone asked. Here's what 120+ platforms looks like in practice. Social media: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit. Professional: LinkedIn, GitHub, Freelancer, Fiverr. Dating: Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Badoo, Happn. Entertainment: Spotify, Netflix, Twitch, Steam, Epic Games, Deezer. Shopping: Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Zalando, AliExpress. Services: Airbnb, Uber, PayPal, Dropbox, Adobe. And 90+ more. Every registration checked silently. Here's the use case that makes people share this. Run your own email address. See every platform that comes back positive. Then run an email address you gave to a company that claimed they'd never share it. See if it's registered on data broker sites and marketing platforms you never signed up for. See where your email has been sold or leaked to. Here's what investigators actually use it for. Journalists verifying whether a source's claimed identity matches their digital footprint. Security researchers auditing their own exposure before a public disclosure. HR teams verifying whether candidate profiles match claimed backgrounds. And the obvious: anyone who needs to know whether a specific email address belongs to a real active person — without alerting that person. Here's the wildest part. It runs async — all 120+ platforms checked simultaneously. Results in seconds. And it exports clean JSON or CSV for integration into larger OSINT pipelines. Pair it with Blackbird (which takes the confirmed email and finds linked profiles), Sherlock (which takes usernames found in those profiles and searches 400+ platforms), and Maigret (which builds the full dossier) — and you have a complete four-tool OSINT pipeline from a single email address. One command to instal. Run it on your own email first. 16.8K GitHub stars. 1.7K forks. MIT License. 100% Open Source. GitHub link in the comments 👇

  you pay google, dropbox, and apple $10+/month to store your files on their servers, where they can read them. and dropbox already got breached in 2024. there's a tool that syncs your files directly between your own devices. no cloud, no server, no middleman. it's called syncthing. → real-time sync between any number of devices, peer-to-peer → files go straight between your devices, never touching a third-party server → tls encryption with perfect forward secrecy on every connection → works over lan and internet, no port forwarding needed → file versioning, roll back anything you changed or deleted there is no syncthing server. no syncthing cloud. no company storing your data. the protocol is open, and there's nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel. dropbox plus is $144/year. google one 2tb is $120/year. syncthing is $0, unlimited devices, unlimited storage, forever. battle-tested since 2013. run by a swedish non-profit. 100% free. open source.
