📎 Shielded bitcoin protocols like @ShieldedCSV need to post a little data with each payment. Taproot already has a slot for that: the annex. Core just won’t relay it. Opened a PR to make annexes standard. Policy only, consensus untouched. Reviews welcome:

This Sunday, @rodarmor and I are hosting Bitcoin Show & Tell, a Twitter space for everyone who hasn't let the bear market deter them from building on bitcoin. The goal is simple: highlight the interesting work that is often obscured by market noise and daily outrage cycle de-jour. Builders get 5–10 minutes to share what they're working on and answer questions from the audience. We’d love to hear from people working on: • TemplateHash or script restoration • ZKP verifier proposals • Shielded CSV • RGB and stablecoins on Bitcoin • Ark and Second • Fedimint, Cashu, and ecash • Liquid and Simplicity • KYC-free exchanges • post-quantum security • Lightning wallets • Payjoin, CoinJoin, CISA/PISA, and other privacy protocols • self custody • circular economies and real-world Bitcoin payments Especially: @idealgroup @stevenroose3 @darosior @theinstagibbs @lightcoin @RGB_Hub @ArkLabsHQ @secondhq @fedibtc @CashuBTC @hodlhodl @bisq_network @vexl @n1ckler @PhoenixWallet @BlitzWalletApp @getAlby @BULLBITCOIN_ @payjoindevkit @lxdev_ @cakewallet @Bitcoinbeach @BitcoinJungleCR @BitcoinBerlinSV @BTCisla @btcmap @fjahr @GBKS @craigraw @KLoaec @nvk @1440000bytes @Square @milessuter @dntse @bitrefill @citrea_xyz @FairGateLabs @DFX_Swiss @alloc_init_ @char_btc @blksresearch @SuperTestnet @umbrel @evoskuil @afilini @lexeapp @Bitsurance_ @nadanada_me And everyone else we couldn’t squeeze into Twitter’s 50-mention limit.

Alright, we need your help! ShieldedCSV is one of the coolest Bitcoin proposals in years: 100+ TPS onchain, strong privacy. Unfortunately, it was named by 3 autists, 2 of whom are German, so naturally it sounds like an enterprise spreadsheet plugin. Please suggest a better name
