Things GrapheneOS does that should be illegal not to do: - Revoke the Network permission per-app - Revoke the Sensors permission per-app - Storage & Contact Scopes (lie to apps about your data) - Hardened app runtime by default Why is this not the baseline.

From Bitshala Fellow to Starter Grant recipient. @AnshSharma54105 began contributing to @braidpool through the Bitshala Fellowship, and his work quickly stood out. Later he got upgraded to a Starter Grant to continue building critical infrastructure for decentralised Bitcoin mining. His current focus includes: • Implementing decentralized mining pool architecture • Integrating Stratum V2 • Optimizing consensus and P2P networking • Building robust testing and validation workflows

I'm confident that once you really understand what Miniscript makes possible, you will not want to use anything else for company treasury or inheritance setups. Redundancy, recovery paths, and timed fallback mechanisms are such a massive UX improvement over traditional single/musig that I honestly find it remarkable to call it an edge case. It is fair to say Miniscript does not yet enjoy broad adoption. But from the 100+ people and institutions I have personally onboarded to multisig over the last years, roughly half migrated to Miniscript once they understood what it enables

PSA: please update Tails with the latest release. It is an emergency release to fix a critical security vulnerability in the Linux kernel, as well as security vulnerabilities in Tor Browser and in the Tor client. blog.torproject.org/new-release-ta…

"The Great Consensus Cleanup" by @darosior Antoine explains the 4 primary things the proposal does and what the next steps are. Originally proposed years ago by @TheBlueMatt, Antoine now leads a "community effort" to bring BIP54 to readiness.

#Forkgivening : a Bitcoin chainsplit constellation — arriving at Forkgivening height 977429 •Your coins do not stop being Bitcoin •Your chaintips split •Your optionality expands For example, if you hold BTC at the relevant snapshot, you may have claims, mirrors, airdrops, or opt-in rights across Forkgivening-aligned tips. What to do? •You may sell them. Keep them. Ignore them. •Or run the software and find out what Bitcoin becomes when exit is treated as a first-class consensus primitive. Vegas: •Yes, I was around the Bitcoin circus. •No, I will never explain the whole thing on stage. •That would be rude. Our Base Tips… •are Sha256d mined. •are Bitcoin-derived. •are merge-mined where possible. •are not asking BTC for permission. •inherit Bitcoin’s proof-of-work grammar, UTXO lineage, and exit-right metaphysics. •differ by constitution, activation height, historical replay boundary, and upgrade posture. Codewise, the family remains Bitcoin-compatible where useful: •BTC remains the reference chaintip •BTX tracks BTC upgrades as they activate •BCK rolls back to a cleaner historical boundary and moves forward with its own covenant posture •KNX preserves a more ossified, low-blockspace Bitcoin discipline •CTB begins the Forkgivening flashmine experiment •ASC/Kapnet coordinates the extended state, node utility registry, session identity, and governance surfaces above the base chains Yes, there will be AggWit: •AggWit is not “more blocksize” as a slogan •AggWit is blockspace hygiene •AggWit prices weight according to chain-operation burden, UTXO state externality, and proximity to MimbleWimble-style cut-through •It makes cheap the things Bitcoin should prefer: consolidation, privacy, fungibility, pruning, and monetary legibility •It makes expensive the things that bloat shared state for private metaprotocol games •It is not a ban •It is a thermodynamic preference schedule Yes, there will be Kapnet: •Kapnet is not a token pretending to be Bitcoin •Kapnet is a Bitcoin-native coordination layer •It treats nodes, templates, weakwork, submissions, rooms, guilds, and governance as structured activity above the chaintip •It lets Bitcoiners coordinate without pretending all coordination belongs inside L1 blockspace •It uses proof-of-work, proof-of-burn, reputation, deterministic replay, and exit pressure as design materials •It is what happens when information is allowed to organize itself around Bitcoin’s finite monetary matter Yes, there will be Forkgivening mechanics: •FKGVN minting ends at BTC::977429. •CTB begins after the Forkgivening tip event •CTB flashmining routes subsidy toward the Forkgivening airdrop mechanism •Runeholders who paid miners for mint inclusion become part of the claim surface •Miners can participate by merge-mining compatible tips and building valid templates •This is not just an airdrop •This is a public audit of who understands that Bitcoin exit is not betrayal Unlike ordinary fork announcements: •There is no claim that one ticker owns Bitcoin •There is no demand that everyone agree •There is no pretense that consensus is a press release •There is no fake neutrality about blockspace externalities •There is no surrender to dev capture, miner apathy, or mempool nihilism •There is only software, incentives, replayable state, and the freedom to exit Our design view: •Bitcoin is Bitcoin •Bitcoin is not a single corporate roadmap •Bitcoin is open-source software under thermodynamic constraint •Bitcoin is the freedom to validate, reject, fork, merge-mine, repeg, and continue •Bitcoin is people learning to trust horizontal cryptography over vertical permission •Bitcoin is finite digital matter with monetary properties, open to all, controlled by none Video to follow Or don’t wait for the video Run the node.

"You can't access the bitcoin, so you're not a custodian." That single sentence from @callebtc , the creator of the Cashu ecash protocol, just unlocked the biggest scaling breakthrough Bitcoin has had in years. The reason ecash scaling has been limited to small community mints is because running a larger one makes you a money transmitter. Calle's solution: non-custodial Cashu mints running inside hardware enclaves. The bitcoin keys are generated inside the enclave and never leave it. The mint operator literally cannot access them. Even with full admin access to the server, they cannot steal the bitcoin. Remove the custodial barrier and the design space explodes. Public organizations, businesses, community groups can all run mints without taking on custodial liability. The security model is battle-tested. ACINQ already uses the same approach with AWS Nitro Enclaves to protect their massive Lightning node holding hundreds of millions in BTC. The historical lineage is what gets me. In 2004, Hal Finney built RPOW (Reusable Proofs of Work) using IBM's secure cryptographic coprocessor. The server was "more trustworthy than an ordinary bank" because the hardware itself guaranteed the software hadn't been tampered with. Finney's system wasn't tied to an existing currency. Calle's is. Cashu ecash backed by Bitcoin, running in a modern enclave, is RPOW's spiritual successor. Except this time it's built on the hardest money in human history. The honest caveats: this doesn't reduce risk to zero. The biggest practical risk is denial of service. The operator could turn the mint off. But since they can't steal the bitcoin, there's no financial incentive to do so. We're getting closer to having everything we want: privacy, ease of use, and reduced custodial risk, all on Bitcoin rails. Hal Finney's vision, finally realized.
