Lightning is back. A recent outage exposed the risk of having so much depend on a single provider. We felt it, you too. We’re working to ensure this never happens again. Today we are launching Intents, a shared market interface for payments & exchange, built on Bitcoin.

I have been working on this for a few months. It currently supports DPF-PIR, HarmonyPIR, OnionPIRv2, and now also ORAM with TEE client proxy. Lightning integration for paying for PIR and Nostr server discovery on the way.

big thanks to the bossman @januszg_ for letting us divert all @lxdev_ resources to red teaming last week
otoh i really think the masses opting for custodial arrangements is catastrophic and poses not only personal risk to them, but significant systemic risks to bitcoin. it is the absolute worst possible outcome if people give up on self-custody due to lack of good reactive security.

100%. Time to work on useful things.
on a somber note, this was a complete and total ddos on the social layer and distracted away from more important things, obviously. developers and researchers building real shit were viciously assaulted by a deranged group of podcasting retards. some of the damage isn’t reversible, but you move on i guess. all stemming from a protocol that will never even use op_returns in reality. just a complete clusterfuck and waste of time.

There is a critical vulnerability being actively exploited on BTCPay Server, which can result in the loss of funds. Please update your BTCPayServer to 2.4.2 by going to Admin Dashboard -> Server -> Maintenance -> Update & verify the 2.4.2 version string in the footer. If you are unable to update right away, turn off your BTCPay Server to prevent unauthorized access until you can update.

If you're looking to download NEW wallet software to migrate funds into, don't use a web or app store search. Many results are for malicious software. First, use multiple sources to verify the real web site belonging to that project. Then use links on their site to download.

the fact that so many teams aren't able to offer lightning swaps right now only proves that boltz offered the best swap product in the market however, it also highlights that we should stop calling applications, that rely on third party swap providers, "lightning wallets"

Update: Boltz will stay disabled until further notice. Our API remains available to process refunds cooperatively. In any case, unilateral refunds will work, as they do not depend on our infrastructure. Our support team stays reachable. To be clear: this is not a response to a single incident. Over the past months we have seen a steady rise in automated, AI-assisted probing of our infrastructure, and we have dealt with several exploits. Each was contained, but the pattern is clear: attackers now iterate faster than a team our size can find and patch. In the past few days alone we saw a drastic acceleration, and we do not believe this asymmetry will reverse. After reviewing the results of our own recent security scans, we cannot responsibly re-enable Boltz swaps, especially as we are being actively targeted by what appear to be multiple resourceful groups while we race to deploy fixes. What we are seeing is a major paradigm shift for Bitcoin services operating on an open source stack, and it needs careful analysis. Do not expect swap services to resume shortly. To be explicit: no user funds were ever at risk. Boltz is non-custodial by design. And as a fully bootstrapped company, the losses were ours alone. We don't know yet how things will continue from here, but we'll keep you posted as soon as we have had the time to catch our breath and make a decision 🙏

Many people have stepped up during the Coldcard crisis, but there can only be one Bitcoin CEO.

some new research for shielded csv from @gusgutoski applying ideas from zcash tachyon to improve scalability some background: a bottleneck with zerocash-based transaction protocols is the need for nullifiers - unlinkable revocation tokens used to detect double-spending. shielded csv is no different all nullifiers ever created must be stored and made available to clients. this number will always grow as the protocol processes more transactions cryptographer @gusgutoski has been thinking about this problem and has written up some ideas on applying tachyon, a scaling optimization for the zcash protocol, to shielded csv if you're interested in improving privacy and scalability for bitcoin payments, check it out!
