sizero··on Decathlon Germany adds Wero payment option to decathlon.de website
Wero’s goal is to become a European payment system. Like an iDEAL across EU countries. That requires buy-in from major EU banks, some of which are shareholders of EPI, the company behind Wero.

sizero··on MoD sources warn Palantir role at heart of government is threat to UK security
The article mentions “while the underlying data may remain under the MoD’s control, any insights derived from that data do not. The implications of this, the insiders say, are far-reaching, especially because of the vast quantity of personal and other data the company has access to across UK government departments.”
sizero··on Show HN: StarkZap – Gasless Bitcoin Payments SDK for TypeScript
Excited to see this. Is this just for Bitcoin-related assets, or does it also help with e.g. stablecoins?
