I work in the hosting industry (euro) and most people I know never heard or care about this project.

Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek well summarized it:

“I don't think Gaia-X has a future. It's basically a paper monster that will exist but will not have any impact in the market, unfortunately."

It seems the domain fritz.box has been suspended. March 5 was the first time this message got captured on archive.org[1]:

Quoting[1] from Homebrew on Github:

>> Looks like that Homebrew users (both macOS and Linux, both Intel and ARM) are unlikely affected?

> Correct. Though we do not appear to be affected, this revert was done out of an abundance of caution.

> reusing private keys is an enormous vulnerability.

As long as the private key is stored/handled safely and RSA/ECC is not broken, it is not vulnerable.

I do agree that key rotation is better/recommended practice.

> a single leaked private key means your entire site is compromised

The leak is the actual vulnerability. As long as the leak is still there and you are not aware of the compromised private key, a fresh new private key will probably leak again.

However, the chances of leaking may be greater if a private key has to be used in multiple locations.

> That's why countries changed it, because they realized their economies were more valuable that their gold stash

Then it is interesting that, with gold being less valuable nowdays than fiat money, central banks (or countries) are still the largest buyers of gold.

Same here in the Netherlands, somewhere between 1998-1999 using KPN Telecom. I was in high school and convinced my parents to upgrade from single-line PSTN to dual-line ISDN, so we could call and surf the internet at the same time. At the start of 1999, because of the rapid increase in phone and internet traffic, the national call tariffs had been reduced a lot[1]. Tariffs were even cheaper in the afternoon and during the weekend.

For normal internet browsing the single ISDN connection (64 kbps) was enough. Then later in 1999, Napster[2] launched and I was hooked! This made me use bundling ISDN channels quite a lot. Because of the cheaper tariffs, weekends where great because I enabled the bundling around midnight until early in the morning, so my parents wouldn't notice. :-)

I was on ISDN until 2002, when ADSL was available here and we could be online 24/7 for a fixed price. I do remember my ISP (XS4ALL) still had a fair-use-policy for downloading, which they removed a few years later.

Isn't that almost always the logical consequence once you understand how Bitcoin works and you believe it can actually work as a safe haven investment?

Those who believe it can not work are most probably not invested. Those who believe it can work are most probably invested.

Those who are invested have no reason to understand how it works. They just need to recruit more members.
