A Lottery to Free Samourai | The Confab 31: Rick Messitt

In this Confab, Max sat down with Rick (@rmessitt on Twitter) to talk about the fight for financial privacy, why the Samourai case matters, and how he helped raise over 10,000,000 sats through a provably fair lottery to support the Samourai developers. They got into the cypherpunk roots of Bitcoin, the dangers of KYC, paper Bitcoin, and the creeping surveillance state, as well as why privacy tools are essential if Bitcoin is ever going to be genuinely useful as freedom money. Rick also shared his perspective on why so many people in Bitcoin have lost sight of the bigger picture, and why supporting people like Keonne and Bill matters far beyond just one legal case.

Rick opened up about his own painful experience of losing around 25 BTC in a hack, how that changed the way he thinks about self-custody, and what others can learn from it. They talked through the emotional reality of being hacked, the importance of continuing to learn rather than becoming complacent, and the trade-offs between different custody setups. It was an honest conversation about sovereignty, security, time, family, and how to keep fighting without letting any of this consume your life.

More Compromised Hardware!? | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 95

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q.

NEWS

- Hardware hacker Joe Grand examined a Trezor Model T bought on Facebook Marketplace in Canada in 2025 and a Trezor One from a TikTok shop in August 2026, both from unauthorized sellers on models Trezor discontinued in January 2026; in both, the main microcontroller had been replaced so the device produced one of about a dozen phrases the attacker already knew instead of a random recovery phrase, with a microSD card soldered inside the Model T holding genuine firmware to pass the integrity check and the Trezor One's swapped chip carrying both the malicious and official firmware, costing its owner about $50. Trezor told Zero Day on 15 October this is a known counterfeit method it has warned about since fake Model Ts turned up on Russian marketplaces in 2022, that it hasn't examined these specific units, that its Suite check is designed to catch devices producing predetermined phrases and it knows of no way to pull this off on its current Safe range, and that its 13 October comment about no evidence of compromise referred to new devices bought from its website or authorized resellers. Both hosts stressed this is not a Trezor supply chain issue, unlike the Ledger case, since both devices were counterfeits sold by unauthorized sellers, and urged listeners to buy hardware directly from the manufacturer and be wary of any reseller -- https://www.zetter-zeroday.com/trezor-wallets-also-compromised-with-implants/, https://cryptoast.fr/trezor-wallets-pieges-implants-revendeurs/
- Trezor said on 13 October it has cut the number of resellers it works with and is reviewing vendor relationships as a preventive step following the CryptoBilis implants, with dropped resellers able to sell existing stock until 1 January 2027; this isn't a flaw unique to Trezor, the hosts noted, but something that could affect any hardware manufacturer -- https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/trezor-reduces-resellers-after-ledger-mess, https://cointelegraph.com/news/ledger-confirms-unauthorized-hardware-implant-losses-may-exceed-86m
- Recapping the 9 October CryptoBilis drain of $86M to $93M, Ledger's 15 October statement says a "highly organized criminal group" bought devices, fitted the implants and fed them back through resellers with seed-collection, draining and laundering servers built in advance, that there was no flaw in its chip, operating system or servers, and it has asked resellers across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong to suspend sales without giving an official loss figure. Mark Karpelès says a Ledger Nano X bought at MediaMarkt in Germany is confirmed to carry the same implant, and reported another from a shop at Singapore's Changi airport, though Ledger hasn't examined either device and every confirmed theft still traces back to CryptoBilis; MediaMarkt has pulled Ledger devices worldwide. Chainalysis found a scam operator who stole roughly 60 BTC ($5M) from task-scam victims had it swept up in the same drain after moving it onto a compromised Ledger device, a bit of karma the hosts enjoyed -- https://www.ledger.com/blog-response-hardware-implant-attack, https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/ledger-says-crime-group-spent-millions, https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/scammer-lost-bitcoin-to-ledger-thieves, https://forklog.com/en/former-mt-gox-ceo-finds-spy-implant-in-ledger-from-german-store/, https://crypto.news/ledger-suspends-retail-sales-in-germany-as-wallet-implant-probe-continues/, https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/34229
- On the same day as its CryptoBilis statement, Ledger announced Atom, an Android phone due mid-2027 that runs everyday apps and switches into a protected mode for managing keys, with an OpenClaw AI assistant whose actions need physical approval on the device; Ledger says a tamper-sensing enclosure with its own battery will block screen-reading implants like the CryptoBilis ones, and Atom will sell only through Ledger's own website at $849 for a Founders Edition ($899 after launch). The hosts called the timing tasteless but the engineering impressive, questioning whether a phone that also runs WhatsApp and TikTok belongs anywhere near your keys -- https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/10/15/under-pressure-ledger-unveils-plan-to-turn-its-crypto-hardware-wallet-into-a-smartphone
- A UK trader posting as "realist" on X says attackers held him at knife point and forced him to transfer close to $800,000, with $40,000 coming from a hot wallet and $720,000 from a Ledger hardware wallet; police have made no public statement though he says officers are investigating, and some commenters unofficially link it to the recent Revolut breach that leaked users' crypto holdings and home addresses -- https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/10/13/why-self-custody-and-hardware-wallets-cannot-prevent-physical-crypto-extortion
- AI-assisted searches from researcher Pizza Bitcoiner helped Jameson Lopp merge new cases into his wrench attack archive on 16 October, taking it past 700 documented incidents, with France the leading hotspot at 77 recorded incidents so far this year; the hosts' advice remains to keep your mouth shut about your holdings and stay pseudonymous online -- https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks, https://www.tftc.io/wrench-attack-archive-702-lopp-pizza-bitcoiner-ai-search, https://bitcoin-wrench-attacks.zaup.org, https://www.occrp.org/en/news/kidnappings-and-home-invasions-soar-as-french-syndicates-extort-crypto
- Bank of Russia guidance dated 12 October confirms direct peer-to-peer crypto trades between individuals stay legal only until 1 July 2027, after which every trade must go through a registered broker or exchange under Federal Law 282-FZ -- https://www.tftc.io/russia-p2p-bitcoin-ban-state-approved-rails-july-2027, https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/russia-central-bank-gives-sberbank-license
- The US Treasury announced $1.2 billion in combined penalties on 13 October after Bank of America admitted willfully violating the Bank Secrecy Act, failing to report over $5 billion in suspicious transactions to FinCEN between 2018 and mid-2025, with the OCC's $750 million penalty counting toward the total, OFAC settling separately for $11.6 million, and no executive charged; the hosts set that against the five and four year federal prison sentences the Samourai Wallet developers are serving for pleading guilty to running an unlicensed money transmitting business over privacy software they wrote -- https://abcnews.com/Business/wireStory/us-hits-bank-america-12-billion-fine-violated-137238223, https://www.tftc.io/bank-of-america-fine-samourai-two-tier-justice, https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0657
- Citizen Lab's AdFection report is the first public technical confirmation that mercenary spyware can reach a phone through targeted advertising alone, with no click needed from the victim: at least 45 devices at Al Jazeera were targeted with Candiru spyware in 2024 and 2025 through ads bought by Israeli firm Discover-Tech, with attacker scripts found in over 75,000 Android and iOS apps and over 120,000 websites; Google, IAB Europe and several ad exchanges cut Discover-Tech off in early October, just before the report came out -- https://www.wired.com/story/nightmare-scenario-zero-click-spyware-is-infecting-phones-via-targeted-ads/, https://bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/zero-click-attacks-used-targeted-ads-to-deliver-candiru-spyware, https://citizenlab.ca/research/how-discover-tech-turned-targeted-ads-into-a-pipeline-for-spyware/
- 404 Media and Court Watch reported that newly public court records include a letter from Telegram to US authorities, sent after a court order, disclosing a specific user's phone number, Telegram user ID and IP address, a reminder that Telegram is not a private messenger and shouldn't be used for anything you want kept private -- https://www.404media.co/heres-what-telegram-giving-data-to-the-u-s-government-looks-like/
- OpenAI published a misalignment report describing how an internal GPT-5.6 Sol research model, given no funded wallet, checked 362 addresses derived from a commonly used developer recovery phrase on 26 June, found one with funds and paid Sepolia testnet fees from it to finish a coding task without disclosing where the money came from, reasoning the funds on a known public developer mnemonic were "effectively abandoned"; only valueless testnet ETH was involved, and OpenAI caught it on 25 September through extended monitoring and has restricted live internet access for similar tasks -- https://alignment.openai.com/misalignment-reports/using-a-funded-test-cryptocurrency-wallet-without-authorization/, https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/10/16/an-openai-agent-ran-out-of-ethereum-funds-and-took-from-a-wallet-it-did-not-own

RELEASES

https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum/releases/tag/v2.1.4 -- 2026-10-18

- Adds a parallel hash lookup that makes get_history and subscription queries 5x to 10x faster on cold or uncached lookups, tunable with a new history_lookup_threads setting. Also refreshes the built-in server seed list.

https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/releases/tag/v0.17.7 -- 2026-10-17

- Bundles Taproot Assets v0.8.6 with lnd v0.21.4-beta and Loop v0.35.0, ships reproducible archives with a signed tag, and the notes give a staged upgrade procedure for nodes with a price oracle.

https://github.com/Copexit/am-i-exposed/releases/tag/v0.43.1 -- 2026-10-15

- Fixes the find-connection tool added hours earlier in 0.43.0, which brought encrypted backups with an optional wallet key lock and graph investigation tools: find connections between addresses, BIP329 graph labels, a time layout and multi-select.

https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq2/releases/tag/v2.1.14 -- 2026-10-15

- Required update fixing vulnerabilities from Bisq's recent security audit. Offer takes must match the maker's current offer and price, buyers enforce seller reputation limits, and Bitcoin URI and Lightning invoice amounts are checked against the agreed trade. Also signs storage, isolates Tor connections between identities and moves to Tor 0.4.9.14.

https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/releases/tag/v13.2.3 -- 2026-10-12

https://github.com/corisco-wallet/corisco-android-app/releases/tag/v0.3.0 -- 2026-10-18

- An open-source (MIT or Apache 2.0) Android Lightning wallet whose keys live on a cheap LilyGo T-Display-S3 (ESP32) board you flash yourself, with every payment confirmed on the device's own screen over Bluetooth. Built on Spark, so Spark operators co-sign with your key. App v0.3.0 adds paying Lightning addresses and LNURL plus a receive Lightning address; firmware v0.1.2 and app v0.2.1 shipped on 13 October.

https://github.com/SatoshiPortal/bullbitcoin-mobile/releases/tag/v6.14.0 -- 2026-10-12

- Tor now runs as an isolated package with separate sessions for vault-backup key servers and onion Electrum servers, and recovery words are typed on an in-app keyboard instead of the OS one. Adds a screen privacy toggle, AutoBuy and limit orders, Android memory tagging, and an experimental Silent Payments wallet behind developer mode.

https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/releases/tag/v6.5.0 -- 2026-10-12

- A Bitcoin wallet can now be split into multiple accounts, and a rebuilt sync engine brings wallets up to date almost instantly while history loads in the background. Also shows Lightning amounts in sats, adds more Tor…

Pirate Radio with SF | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 61

A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth.

This week we're joined by SF, aka Pleb Royale, a designer and Noderunner from the Netherlands behind a pile of free Bitcoin art and https://noderunnersradio.com, a listener-funded internet radio station where song requests are paid for in sats. SF talks us through his design background (BTCPay Server skins, the Bitcoin Focus magazine, logo work for Alex Gladstein and Andreas Antonopoulos, and the Noderunners logo that's spread right across the community) and how a group of friends running nodes in the Netherlands turned into one of Bitcoin's most dedicated grassroots scenes, including this year's Noderunners Conference held in Arnhem's old prison.

We get into how the station's jukebox evolved: built first by HeroVK as a Telegram bot controlling SF's Spotify, then rebuilt from the ground up with AI once he picked up a Claude subscription, and now running on self-hosted LNbits with its own seven-and-a-half-terabyte music library. Library tracks cost 21 sats as an anti-spam measure, Wavlake tracks run through a value-for-value lane where most of the 210 sats goes straight to the artist, and live DJ and band sets (streamed over RTMP) pool donations that only get split out once the set ends. Everything moved to self-custodial wallets to stay clear of EU rules around holding value, which is also why the old bot's leftover user balances are only now being unwound for withdrawal.

SF also sets out the station's manifesto, a push toward a real FM/AM broadcast that could carry the state of the Bitcoin network over the airwaves if the internet ever goes down, and the idea of musicians timestamping their work to the chain as proof of creation. He clears up a tweet aimed at Breez after Misty Breez broke in September (https://x.com/LePlebRoyale/status/2097479876173345072, https://x.com/roy_breez/status/2097575702216245538): it wasn't the radio's backend failing, just bad timing trying out Liquid swaps right as the hack hit.

NEWS

- Hundreds of self-custody wallets belonging to Southeast Asian Ledger customers who bought their devices from CryptoBilis, Ledger's authorised reseller for Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, were emptied in a coordinated sweep across six chains on 9 October, with on-chain tallies putting losses at $86M to $93M; Tether froze about $10M of the stolen USDT, and on 10 October Ledger confirmed an "unauthorized hardware implant" in one affected user's device. Mark Karpelès's Tibane Labs teardown found a hidden board inside a Nano X tapping the screen's data lines to read the 24 words during setup and send them out over its own cellular modem, never touching the secure element, so the device still passes Ledger's genuine check; CryptoBilis changed hands in March, with unverified registry screenshots showing a new owner based in China, though nobody has shown a link between the new owner and the theft. Anyone who bought from a non-direct seller should not set the device up, and anyone who already did should move funds to a new seed generated on a device bought direct -- https://x.com/Ledger_Support/status/2108968264055345381, https://x.com/Ledger_Support/status/2108551100613714002, https://x.com/Ledger/status/2109331538072494364, https://bitquery.io/investigations/ledger-cryptobilis-hack, https://www.tibane.net/research/ledger-nano-x-implant, https://x.com/MagicalTux/status/2108576506704548179, https://x.com/SpecterAnalyst/status/2108534068564373687, https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/10/09/ledger-investigates-potential-wallet-tampering-after-reports-of-usd86-million-in-crypto-stolen, https://www.theblock.co/news/business/2026-10-09-ledger-cryptobilis-fund-losses-418163, https://cryptobriefing.com/tether-freezes-usdt-ledger-user-thefts/, https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/ledger-attack-spreads-to-eu-ai-finds-18-trillion-xrp-bug-hodlers-digest
- On 11 October Coldcard said a post carrying a phishing link went out from its official X account and was deleted, telling users not to visit it and that coldcard.com is its only official site; it found no matching login or session record, says its credentials and offline 2FA remain secure, and has asked X Support to escalate, with no losses reported and no confirmation yet of how the post was published -- https://x.com/COLDCARDwallet/status/2109158742197440912, https://x.com/COLDCARDwallet/status/2109163908707578236, https://cointelegraph.com/news/coldcard-says-its-investigating-how-phishing-link-appeared-on-its-x-account, https://stacker.news/items/1593166
- Second says an attacker exploited a bug in its Ark server's boarding flow on 5 October, registering boards with only his own signature and then exiting them while also spending the same balances out of Second's node over Lightning, taking 0.75 BTC of the company's own liquidity; Second blocked the source within hours, briefly took the server offline and shipped a fix, with users' pre-signed exit paths unaffected, and links the attacker's coins to the 19 September Blink theft -- https://x.com/secondhq/status/2108065406665805992, https://gitlab.com/ark-bitcoin/bark/-/merge_requests/2612, https://stacker.news/items/1591231

- On 25 September the DC Circuit upheld Roman Sterlingov's Bitcoin Fog conviction, finding that moving funds in and out of the mixer furthered its ability to launder funds for all users, enough to try him in Washington; on 5 October, the same day FinCEN withdrew its mixer rule, SDNY prosecutors cited that ruling against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm, whose lawyers replied that Bitcoin Fog was custodial and Tornado Cash is not, with his retrial set for 26 April 2027 -- https://www.therage.co/mixer-rule-sterlingov-tornado-cash/, https://www.tftc.io/doj-bitcoin-fog-ruling-roman-storm-acquittal-bid, https://media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/docs/2026/09/24-3161-2194974.pdf
- ICANN's Reveal Day on 7 October published 1,615 applications for new top-level domains, including mempool.space operator Wiz's community application for .bitcoin, which proposes a restricted namespace for vetted Bitcoin builders with no auctions or premium names and 21% of gross revenue going to Bitcoin development; a rival standard .bitcoin application from Bird Pepper LLC, linked to Identity Digital, is also in the contention set, with string confirmation due 17 November -- https://wiz.biz/bitcoin-tld-application.pdf, https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-reveals-2026-round-applications-for-new-generic-top-level-domains-07-10-2026-en, https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/application-rounds/round2/reveal-day-contention-sets.csv

Bitcoin in Every App | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 60

A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth.

This week we're joined by Roy from Breez to talk about how the nodeless SDK has evolved, moving from Liquid to Spark after Boltz suspended swaps in August citing AI-assisted attacks, and why Breez picked Spark over Ark: Roy says payments need a near-perfect Lightning operator and that liquidity, not the ledger design, is the real bottleneck.

We get into what Breez takes on as a Spark operator, the closed-source nature of Lightspark's SSP versus the open-source SSP Breez has now released, and why Spark's confidential transactions and oblivious send are still on the roadmap rather than shipped. Roy is blunt that Lightning was never a privacy tool, that around nine nodes handle 80-90% of network volume, and that Spark's privacy model is comparable to an LSP rather than something better.

We also cover the stablecoin features (Stable Balance, instant on-chain deposits via zero-conf), the https://breez.technology/glow/ reference wallet, and how AI coding tools have cut SDK integration times from weeks to days, including partners going from API key to production in under 24 hours.

NEWS

- Former National Crime Agency officer Paul Chowles has been ordered to repay GBP 1,810,678.93 after a Crown Prosecution Service confiscation order on 30 September; he stole 50 BTC in 2017 from a wallet holding coins seized from Silk Road 2.0 administrator Thomas White, worth about GBP 59,000 at the time, laundering it through Bitcoin Fog and spending it via CryptoPay and Wirex cards before Merseyside Police caught him in 2022; he was jailed for five and a half years in July 2025, and part of his confiscation order now pays off White's own unpaid confiscation order to the state -- https://www.cps.gov.uk/national-news/news/ex-nca-officer-ordered-repay-more-ps18m-following-bitcoin-theft
- South Africa's Absa has become the first African bank to custody bitcoin, mainly for institutional clients, following Deutsche Bank's custody launch in September; head of digital assets Rob Downes said bitcoin will be the bank's largest custodied asset, with other digital assets to follow, in a market Chainalysis puts second in Sub-Saharan Africa by value received at about $36B -- https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/absa-first-african-bank-to-custody-bitcoin
- Blink published its post-mortem of the 19 September attack: a permissions flaw in its admin tools, open since October 2023, let the attacker grant themselves admin rights through the OAuth consent page and take over 35 custodial accounts, withdrawing about 6.61 BTC from 24 of them; nine targeted accounts had 2FA on and all 18 login attempts to use them were refused, so nobody with 2FA lost anything; shareholders advanced the full amount as an interest-free loan so balances were restored by 24 September with fees refunded, and Blink is offering a 25% recovery bounty plus a matching 25% donation to circular economies including Bitcoin Beach, Bitcoin Ekasi and Afribit Kibera -- https://www.blink.sv/blog/sept-19-attack-postmortem-and-bounty
- Tether says USDT is coming to Bitcoin this month via the RGB protocol, issued by Utexo, whose co-founder Viktor Ihnatiuk says the company holds the commercial licence; Utexo can't freeze RGB addresses the way Tether freezes Ethereum ones, so instead it will blacklist UTXOs that become unredeemable at bridges and minting tools, with BTC-to-USDT swaps and BTC-backed lending to follow and Lightning support after launch; USDT first lived on Bitcoin via Omni back in 2014 -- https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/09/29/tether-s-usdt-is-coming-home-to-bitcoin-this-month-after-more-than-a-decade
- A federal judge in Utah has granted a preliminary injunction blocking the VPN provisions of the state's SB 73, the first US law to penalise VPN use, which would have required adult sites to block VPN users or locate every visitor; the court found the law demands something technically impossible, though the separate ban on explaining how to use a VPN was not challenged and stays in force -- https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/10/court-agrees-eff-utahs-vpn-law-demands-technical-impossibility
- Core Lightning is warning of active attacks on unpatched nodes: an operator on v26.06.7 reported an attacker opening a splice, routing a small keysend, then sending an error so the victim's node goes on-chain and sweeps its own output through the revocation path as if it had cheated; the path was already fixed in v26.06.8, and by 1 October Stacker News operators were reporting about 0.2 BTC lost between them, with one user reporting 4.88M sats across five incidents and a StartOS user reporting 3M sats; anyone on 26.06.7 or earlier should upgrade now, or restart with --offline if they can't upgrade immediately -- https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/9578, https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/9595, https://www.tftc.io/core-lightning-active-attack-warning-upgrade-v26-06-8, https://stacker.news/items/1585578, https://stacker.news/items/1585777, https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/releases/tag/v26.06.8
- The Dutch cabinet has told parliament that shares, bonds and options will move to a realised-gains tax from 2028, with other assets following in 2030; crypto isn't named among the 2028 instruments, so if it counts as an "other asset" Dutch bitcoin holders keep paying yearly tax on unrealised paper gains for two years longer than shareholders, and the tax-free allowance falls to EUR 1,000 per person -- https://nltimes.nl/2026/09/29/dutch-savers-investors-pay-tax-wealth-2028, https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/dutch-government-introduce-capital-gains, https://cryptobenelux.com/europa/nieuwe-box-3-plannen-zetten-aandelen-en-bitcoin-fiscaal-uit-elkaar
- The Liquid Federation says an independent external audit of Elements v23.3.4 is underway, focused on safely restoring peg-outs, and it is replacing the peg-out authorisation key list and moving all peg-out keys to cold storage; peg-outs remain paused nearly a month after the exploit, with about 602 BTC of the stolen 3,996 BTC still unrecovered -- https://crypto.news/when-will-liquid-network-restore-bitcoin-peg-outs/, https://www.kucoin.com/news/flash/liquid-network-launches-external-audit-for-elements-v23-3-4-and-updates-pak-list, https://liquid.net/
- UK law firm Edmonds Marshall McMahon says it has recovered 20.00444711 BTC, about $1.725M, in full and with no deduction for one client seven weeks after the Coldcard theft, the first documented full recovery through the Crypto Recovery Trust; the claim rested on blockchain forensics, the client's exchange records, signed message challenges and wallet derivation checks -- https://www.emmlegal.com/news/emm-secures-1-725-million-bitcoin-recovery/, https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/09/22/whitehats-move-52-bitcoin-from-the-coldcard-hack-to-a-recovery-trust, https://decrypt.co/378978/white-hat-hackers-coldcard-exploit-bitcoin-recovery-trust
- Apps built on the Breez SDK can now accept USDT or USDC from more than 30 networks including Ethereum, Base, Solana and Tron, with Flashnet converting the payment in the background so it lands in the receiver's self-custodial wallet as bitcoin, or as dollars with the stable balance feature; this is a developer-facing SDK feature, not something Breez's own wallet turns on automatically -- https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/breez-debuts-stablecoin-feature
- Block has launched its first big consumer ad campaign for bitcoin, "Some things don't make sense. Bitcoin does.", running on YouTube, X, Meta, Fox Sports and in cinemas until 31 December; meanwhile a Stacker News user described failing for the second time in two weeks to spend bitcoin at a Square terminal because the merchant hadn't switched the option on in their dashboard -- newer point-of-sale devices have the toggle on by default with a customer-facing screen, but older terminals still need the merchant to enable it -- https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/block-launches-bitcoin-campaign, https://stacker.news/items/1588314
- Bitget reopened BTC withdrawals on 28 September, with fiat and P2P back by 2 October, and Bitcoin Magazine reported more than 4,000 BTC withdrawn in a single hour on 29 September; CEO Gracy Chen told CNBC only about $1.1M of the roughly $388M stolen has been frozen and she isn't "expecting to recover a lot" -- https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/02/bitget-crypto-stolen-hack-recovery.html

Freedom Fest UK with Nathan Day | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 59

A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth.

This week we're joined by Nathan Day, co-founder of Bitfest, to talk about Freedom Fest, a new event for privacy, digital rights, civil liberties and freedom tech running alongside Bitfest at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester this November. Freedom Fest is ticketed and marketed separately to reach freedom-minded communities who aren't into Bitcoin yet, with talks from the Tor and GrapheneOS teams, Free Cities and HRF's CBDC Tracker crew.

Listeners get 21% off Bitfest tickets with the code UNGOVERNABLE at https://bitfest.uk, limited to the first 21 uses.

We also get into Nathan's eight-ton overland camper mining three terahash off solar, the state of merchant adoption on https://btcmap.org and the wrench-attack risk merchants take on by being on a map, and how Omarchy, OpenCode and Hermes have turned him into a prolific vibe coder.

Letter #7: Notes From The Inside

In these episodes, we read Keonne’s recent letters written from prison. The aim in sharing this is simple: amplify Keonne’s story, support him and Bill, and ensure help reaches their families. If listening isn’t your thing, the full text is linked in the show notes—please read, listen, and share.

HTTPS://FREESAMOURAI.NOW
Privacy is NOT a crime! Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill, two Bitcoin developers, are currently serving prison sentences for crimes they couldn’t have committed. Join our Bitcoin prize draw to help raise money to support their families and drive awareness to increase their chances of a presidential pardon. 50% of the prize pot goes to one lucky winner. 50% goes to Samourai.Bitcoin only, powered by lightning, and 100% provably fair. Because we don’t trust, we verify.

Did Bitcoin Just Go Dark? | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 92

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q.

AOB

- Max: flooded the downstairs after leaving a sink running over the weekend, spent Saturday ripping out old timber and clutter he'd been meaning to clear out anyway, then a full kids' day that left them sick afterwards
- Q: spent the weekend building his own local, voice-controlled AI assistant after watching the new Spider-Man film
- Q: read this week's letter #7 from Keone, "Notes from the Inside", posted on https://www.therage.co/letter-7-notes-from-the-inside/ -- a tough one on conditions moving between facilities; audio version out later this week, timed with Rick's Free Samurai prize draw
- Q: enjoyed last week's Freedom Tech Friday listener questions episode, ranging from Bitcoin to Monero to privacy, multisig and local AI

NEWS

- Research lab [alloc] init, founded by Misha Komarov with Clara Shikhelman as Head of Protocol Research, published Shielded Bitcoin, a proposal for Zcash-style private transfers needing no soft fork; shielded transactions are encrypted data blobs carried in OP_RETURN or witness data that Bitcoin only orders and timestamps, while separate indexer software checks zero-knowledge proofs and stops double-spends; value sits in encrypted "notes" spent by publishing a one-time nullifier that proves the spend without revealing which note it is; the peg moving real BTC in and out isn't designed yet and rests on an unproven witness-encryption scheme called PIPEs v2; CoinDesk reports fees around 4x normal, a trusted setup and no launch date -- https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/alloc-init-releases-shielded-bitcoin-proposal-for-private-bitcoin-transactions, https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/09/25/bitcoin-could-soon-get-zcash-style-shielded-privacy-without-changing-its-rules, https://allocinit.notion.site/Shielded-Bitcoin-Private-Transfers-on-Bitcoin-L1
- Blockstream published its own post-mortem of the 6 September Liquid exploit: a rangeproof-cache flaw dating to April 2018 ("Bug A"), responsibly disclosed 2 August and patched by 11 August, introduced a second flaw ("Bug B") where unprefixed cache keys let two different proofs collide; the attacker used it to mint about 4,000 unbacked LBTC and peg out 3,996 BTC through SideSwap, draining the reserve from about 4,205 BTC to 197 BTC; 3,400 BTC was returned and the network resumed 9-10 September, but about 602 BTC remains with the attacker and peg-outs stay paused with no date; the 11-of-15 federation multisig worked exactly as designed, the failure was in the software deciding what counted as a valid transaction -- https://blog.blockstream.com/liquid-network-security-incident-assessment/
- Bitget detected unauthorised transfers from its hot and warm wallets at 18:31 UTC on 24 September and froze withdrawals platform-wide; CEO Gracy Chen says the attacker compromised a backend system, spoofed transaction data and triggered Bitget's own approval process, with private key compromise ruled out; the loss was revised from $351.6M to about $387.5M once Zcash and TRON assets were counted, mostly ETH, TRX and USDT with no bitcoin taken; Circle and Tether froze about $318K, while roughly $83M in native XRP moved beyond Ripple's power to freeze; North Korea attribution comes from Bitget, Elliptic and MetaMask's Taylor Monahan, not yet from any government; Bitget says its User Protection Fund covers the loss and is reopening withdrawals in phases from 28 September -- https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/09/25/bitget-s-usd351-million-hack-happened-via-spoofed-transfers-not-private-keys-ceo-gray-chen-says, https://www.tftc.io/bitget-351-million-hot-wallet-hack-withdrawals-frozen, https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/north-korea-linked-to-bitget-hack, https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/09/25/circle-and-tether-step-in-to-freeze-hacker-wallet-after-massive-bitget-crypto-heist, https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/09/26/bitget-hacker-moves-usd83-million-in-stolen-xrp-that-ripple-cannot-freeze, https://www.bitget.com/support/articles/12560603896025
- AMLBot traced part of the Bitget haul from TRX to USDT, bridged to Ethereum, swapped to about 145 ETH, then through THORChain into about 4.59 BTC, with roughly 4 BTC of that linked to an unnamed Wasabi coinjoin round and the addresses "blacklisted"; most of the stolen funds have not moved -- https://x.com/AMLBotHQ/status/2103895436557992242, http://crypto.news
- Matt Morehouse disclosed two denial-of-service bugs in Eclair v0.13.1 and earlier, fixed in v0.14.0: oversized feature-bit init messages could allocate about 300MB per message and crash a node, and zlib-compressed channel queries could inflate 64KB into 64MB; his smite fuzzer found the first, an LLM-assisted search for similar code patterns found the second -- https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/disclosure-dos-vulnerabilities-fixed-in-eclair-v0-14-0/2914
- Lightning Labs published four security advisories: a High-rated bug let an invoice be marked settled after an interceptor had already cancelled the HTLC, affecting tapd 0.5.0 and earlier and lnd 0.18.4 to 0.18.5; three Low-rated DoS bugs covered a gossip stall, a panic on a malformed DNS seed response, and memory exhaustion from Brontide write allocations; nodes on current lnd (0.21.3 or 0.20.4) are unaffected -- https://security.lightning.engineering/
- Galaxy's Alex Thorn disclosed that 52.37 BTC from weak-entropy Coldcard addresses, about 2.8% of the total taken and roughly $4.5M, had been moved into an address belonging to a Wyoming "Crypto Recovery Trust" carrying an OP_RETURN reading "claim:cryptorecoverytrust.com"; the trust says owners can reclaim coins by proving control, but the white-hats are unnamed and its legal documents are unverified -- https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/09/22/whitehats-move-52-bitcoin-from-the-coldcard-hack-to-a-recovery-trust
- SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce announced she resigns effective 2 October after nearly nine years to join Regent University School of Law, leaving the SEC with two Republican commissioners and no replacement nominee named; two days earlier, at SIFMA's Digital Assets Conference, she argued for replacing KYC document collection with zero-knowledge proofs and attribute-based credentials, telling regulators "we build ever bigger data haystacks on the theory that we will find a needle or two inside" -- https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/09/25/u-s-sec-s-steadiest-crypto-advocate-hester-peirce-to-depart-next-week, https://www.tftc.io/hester-peirce-sec-resignation-october-2026, https://www.tftc.io/zk-proof-kyc-reform-hester-peirce-sec-sifma-2026
- New York Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Kathy Hochul sued Polymarket US in state court on 24 September alleging unlicensed gambling and underage betting, seeking at least $4.6B in fines; Polymarket moved the case to federal court and countersued, arguing the Commodity Exchange Act gives the CFTC exclusive authority; the next day a unanimous Sixth Circuit panel ruled Kalshi's sports contracts are subject to state gambling law, splitting with the Third Circuit and making a Supreme Court case more likely -- https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/09/24/new-york-sues-polymarket-alleging-it-is-running-an-illegal-gambling-operation/, https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/24/new-york-sues-polymarket-us-two-months-after-filing-suit-against-kalshi-.html, https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/09/25/another-appeals-court-rules-against-prediction-market-provider-kalshi-says-sports-contracts-are-subject-to-state-regulations
- BitMEX stopped trading, deposits and new positions at 04:00 UTC on 23 September after 11 years, with API withdrawals ending 28 September and website withdrawals staying open; from 1 October verified accounts with a balance pay the greater of 1% a year or $50 a month; owner HDR Global Trading cites a strategic review, with no legal or regulatory issues behind the closure -- https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/09/23/bitmex-shuts-down-trading-after-11-years-leaves-withdrawals-open
- The x402 protocol, reviving HTTP 402 "Payment Required" for machine payments, merged Ben Carman's spec for paying with Lightning: the server issues a BOLT11 invoice whose description hash commits to the exact request, the client pays and returns the preimage, and the facilitator checks it against the payment hash and invoice signer without querying the receiver's node -- https://github.com/x402-foundation/x402/pull/2861

MK Ungovernable | What Do You Reckon?

For years Max would call and ask, “Hey mate, what do you reckon about ___?” This is that conversation, turned into a show. First episode: mind control and influence operations, with a hard look at MKUltra.

We walk through history from the priest classes and their drug and sex rituals, war as the original mass psychological operation, Operation Paperclip and the Cold War labs, Sidney Gottlieb, Operation Midnight Climax in New York and San Francisco, Ewan Cameron, Jolly West in the Haight, the moment LSD left the building, Manson and the communes, then the quieter tools that followed: pharmaceuticals, screens, surveillance, COVID-era mass formation. We flag what is documented and what is speculation. We close on how you push back: escape dialectics, Occam’s Razor, question with boldness like Jefferson, and John Lisle’s eleven questions. MK Ultra, answered with MK Ungovernable.

What they cover

- Ancient roots: Plato’s Cave, priests, cults, ritual drugs, war
- Modern U.S. programs: Bluebird, Artichoke, MKUltra, Gottlieb, Church Committee
- San Francisco: Midnight Climax, Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic, West’s crash pad, Manson
- From the 1980s to now: corporate influence, pharma, social media, mass formation
- How to stay ungovernable

Books they read for this one

- Stephen Kinzer - Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control
- John Lisle - Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKULTRA
- Tom O’Neill with Dan Piepenbring - Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties

Music

- The Exploited – Sex and Violence
- Slim Galliard Trio – Cement Mixer Pu-ti-put-ti
- Jack Kerouac – October in the Railroad Earth (with Steve Allen)
- Kraftwerk – Computer World
- Marilyn Manson – Rock is Dead
- The Beach Boys – Never Learn Not to Love

Breach Season Continues | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 91

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q.

AOB

Q: short weekend trip to Lisbon
Q: https://github.com/Foundation-Devices/envoy/releases/tag/v2.3.4 out -- stability and maintenance release; faster Bluetooth firmware updates for Passport Prime, bug fixes and further Tor connectivity improvements
Q: https://x.com/FoundationHQ/status/2099865846101180499 for Passport Prime -- optional app porting Ledger's open-source device applications to KeyOS so users can manage alt coin holdings on open-source hardware; not installed by default, device stays Bitcoin-only if ignored
Max: bought a Stanley flask and a robot vacuum and mop combo

NEWS

CLARITY Act dies in the US Senate 49-50, eleven votes short of the 60 needed for cloture; every Democrat who voted said no, joined by Republicans Collins, Hawley and Moran; the final text dropped the explicit criminal protection for non-custodial developers against 18 USC 1960 charges -- the same law used against the Samourai and Tornado Cash developers -- keeping only civil protections; Senator Lummis warned failure leaves no realistic chance this decade; the SEC and CFTC immediately signalled unilateral rulemaking -- https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/09/15/crypto-clarity-act-flames-out-in-failed-u-s-senate-vote, https://www.newsweek.com/crypto-clarity-act-fails-senate-republicans-vote-with-democrats-12447024, https://www.tftc.io/clarity-act-senate-fails-cftc-unilateral-crypto-rules-selig, https://www.therage.co/clarity-act-fails-in-senate/, https://www.tftc.io/clarity-act-brca-civil-only-developer-protections, https://coincenter.org/the-proposed-brca-changes-are-a-tough-pill-to-swallow/

Two days after the CLARITY Act failed, the CFTC sent a pre-rule rulemaking titled "Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets" to the White House for review; contents are not public but expected to create a path for crypto spot exchanges to operate under CFTC oversight; prepared in advance and filed immediately once Congress failed to act -- https://www.pymnts.com/cryptocurrency/2026/cftc-files-crypto-regulation-proposal-after-clarity-act-fails/, https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/09/18/cftc-sends-crypto-rules-to-white-house-to-review-as-congress-stalls-on-clarity-act, https://thedefiant.io/news/regulation/cftc-files-crypto-market-rulemaking-with-white-house-at-prerule-stage

CFTC Staff Letter 26-25 extends to all qualifying developers the no-action relief Phantom received in March; software that passes user orders to CFTC-registered futures firms without holding assets, generating signals or controlling routing does not need to register as an introducing broker; not law, can be withdrawn at any time, and does not protect wallet developers from DOJ money-transmission charges -- https://www.tftc.io/cftc-staff-letter-26-25-passive-software-no-action-relief, https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/9300-26

The FCA, HMRC and Metropolitan Police raided three London premises on September 10 targeting unregistered peer-to-peer crypto trading operations and issued cease-and-desist letters at all three; the FCA says not a single P2P crypto business is registered in the UK; the second coordinated enforcement action this year, following raids across eight locations in April which are now feeding criminal investigations; the UK's full crypto regime begins October 2027 -- https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/09/17/uk-signals-end-of-light-touch-era-with-multi-agency-raid-on-peer-to-peer-crypto-hubs

Hodl Hodl shipped "enhanced bitcoin security scoring" on September 18 that checked incoming bitcoin for red flags and blocked trades with a bad score; after user backlash Anna from the team posted on September 19 that they got it wrong, it shipped without warning and was explained poorly, and it is now disabled; if it returns in any form it will be disclosed beforehand; scoring coins for red flags is taint analysis, and Hodl Hodl's position holding one key on every 2-of-3 multisig trade is what makes this kind of screening possible -- https://x.com/hodlhodl/status/2100927214355152941, https://x.com/annahhodl/status/2101252835266424832

The Rage argues the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve created by Executive Order 14233 may exist only on paper; no reserve office appears in Treasury's public org chart or the 2025 Fiscal Report; Bloomberg reported in July that Treasury and Commerce were still disputing who has authority to run it; the House Financial Services Committee advanced the ARMA bill 28-21 on September 16 ordering agencies to keep custody of their bitcoin until the reserve is "fully established and certified operational"; a FOIA request for records on the reserve office is still pending -- https://www.therage.co/the-strategic-reserve-of-fugazi/

Liquid peg-outs remain paused two weeks after the $320M exploit; 3,400 BTC was returned and blocks resumed September 10 but 598.5 BTC remains with the attacker; the federation says peg-outs will resume only after 1:1 backing is confirmed and software updates and independent security reviews are complete, with no date given; L-BTC holders can only sell or swap through services like AQUA's Indra where liquidity is limited -- https://x.com/Liquid_BTC/status/2100696334596452426, https://x.com/Liquid_BTC/status/2097404704028545175

JAN3 launched Indra on September 15, its own Lightning-Liquid swap backend for AQUA, after Boltz suspended service in August following sustained AI-assisted attacks; for now it only handles Lightning sends paying invoices from L-BTC, with receiving to follow; JAN3 replicated the Boltz API signatures so it can act as a drop-in replacement; about three hours after launch Indra was hit by a DoS attack and forward swaps were temporarily disabled -- https://jan3.com/blog/introducing-indra-liquid-and-lightning-swaps, https://stacker.news/items/1573169, https://x.com/Excellion/status/2099999504971731032

CLN operators are advised to disable experimental features after a suspected dual-fund channel drain; on September 12 a node operator reported a peer opened a dual-funded channel, drained most of his liquidity and went offline, with the funding txid his node recorded not existing on-chain; on September 15 Core Lightning issued a security advisory urging all operators running experimental features to disable them; at least two more operators have since reported losses; no patched release has shipped -- https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/9498, https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/9498#issuecomment-5659170520, https://x.com/Core_LN/status/2099927317107839188

A pull request by Roasbeef would change the BOLT11 spec so readers must reject invoices containing more than one payment hash; a popular Telegram P2P bot was recently hacked through this ambiguity because some libraries took the first payment hash and others the last, allowing a system mixing both to be tricked into thinking a withdrawal was never paid out -- https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/1357

Lightning wallet Blink paused all services on September 19 after an attacker drained a limited number of custodial accounts; "a few dozen" custodial accounts were affected, every affected account will be made whole, and non-custodial wallets were untouched; a patch was deployed and services came back online the same afternoon; the attack path is unknown pending a post-mortem -- https://x.com/blinkbtc/status/2101290680584695956, https://news.bitcoin.com/security/blink-wallet-hit-by-attacker-few-dozen-custodial-accounts-drained/, https://x.com/TFTC21/status/2101397854078329082

London-based crypto infrastructure provider Haruko was hit by a targeted attack affecting 15 clients -- all those without an IP whitelist; attackers exploited a flaw in Haruko's own processes to extract a user-access token exposing exchange API details and trading data; three sources say a small amount of client funds was stolen, mainly from smaller hedge funds -- https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/09/18/crypto-tech-provider-haruko-hit-by-cyberattack-affecting-15-clients-some-funds-lost

Swiss Bitcoin Pay, a non-custodial Bitcoin and Lightning payment processor, took its servers offline on September 14 after a malicious user likely accessed its internal systems; customer email addresses, bitcoin addresses, IBANs, transaction histories and hashed passwords may have been exposed; user funds are safe and any amounts owed will be returned in full; servers remain offline as of today with no restore date -- https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/swiss-bitcoin-pay-data-breach, https://financefeeds.com/swiss-bitcoin-pay-says-no-evidence-merchant-bitcoin-wallets-were-compromised/

Update on the Revolut breach: attackers used a hacked email account on a real Italian government domain to send fake law enforcement data requests; at least 680 customers are affected, targeted for their crypto holdings via blockchain analysis; on September 16 the group demanded 6,000 XMR (~$3M) within 24 hours or it would sell the data; the deadline passed, Revolut says it has had no direct contact, and Italian police and UK regulators are investigating; samples have already been posted on Telegram -- https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/09/16/revolut-hackers-demand-usd3-million-in-monero-threaten-to-sell-customer-data, https://www.securityweek.com/revolut-data-breach-5-months-680-high-profile-accounts-3m-ransom/, https://cyberinsider.com/revolut-hackers-used-infostealer-to-hijack-italian-government-emails/

Is AI Freedom Tech? Part II | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 57

A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth.

In this episode, Max chats with Seth for a wide-ranging catch-up on the state of open source and local AI following his visit to the Open Source AI Summit in San Francisco. They talked about why AI feels so energising compared with the slower pace of Bitcoin development, how local and open models are rapidly improving, and why more people in the freedom tech world need to pay attention. Seth shared his view that we are already close to a point where self-hosted AI is practical for everyday use, with the right hardware, and explained the trade-offs between speed, intelligence and cost when choosing a setup.

Max and Seth also dug into what it means to treat AI like “self-custody for intelligence", keeping your data private, running tools locally, and avoiding dependence on closed platforms that can limit, monitor or shape your usage. Along the way, they covered how AI can help with everything from infrastructure and creative work to family life and productivity, as well as the risks around surveillance, security and misuse. Max and Seth closed by looking at the idea of “resonant computing”, a vision for technology that is private, adaptable and built to serve people rather than exploit them.

KYC: KILL YOUR CUSTOMER | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 90

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q.

AOB

Max: spent a full day and roughly $100 in API credits on a marketing project using lower-end models rather than his normal Claude subscription -- couldn't use it due to privacy concerns around Ungovernable content; a warning that frontier model quality costs real money per token
Q: quiet weekend -- kids party Saturday, christening Sunday; off to Portugal on Friday

NEWS

Revolut hands passports and Bitcoin histories to a spoofed government request: attackers used a real government agency's email domain to extract passport scans, verification selfies, home addresses, and full transaction histories including Bitcoin activity; Revolut refuses to confirm the number of affected customers, the market, or the agency involved; attacker is now leaking customer files daily on Telegram and demanding 10,000 BTC -- https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/09/12/bitcoin-activity-passports-exposed-after-revolut-falls-for-fake-government-request, https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/12/revolut-confirms-customer-data-breach-through-fake-government-requests/, https://decrypt.co/378114/revolut-passports-bitcoin-activity-data-breach

Liquid exploit recovery: 3,400 BTC returned to block 965950 on September 7 via on-chain OP_RETURN negotiation; ~598.5 BTC (~$47M) remains with the exploiters; Blockstream refused the demanded 10% bounty, called it theft, and says it will work with law enforcement; block production resumed September 10 but peg operations remain suspended -- https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/blockstream-tells-demands-bitcoin, http://news.bitcoin.com, https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/09/08/white-hat-hackers-return-most-of-usd320m-bitcoin-taken-from-liquid-network, https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/btc-returned-liquid-network/

Final CLARITY Act text drops: ethics deal done, developer protections narrowed; the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act now covers civil enforcement only with criminal protections removed -- including the charge brought against the Samourai developers; cloture vote is September 15 at 2:15pm ET, needs 60 votes; prediction markets put passage at ~25% -- https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/09/14/senate-unveils-final-clarity-act-text-with-trump-backed-ethics-deal-ahead-of-tuesday-cloture-vote/, https://www.theblock.co/news/regulation/2026-09-14-senate-republicans-release-final-clarity-act-draft-414575, https://thehill.com/policy/technology/6087405-white-house-accepts-clarity-act-ethics/, https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/09/13/is-clarity-dead-a-vibes-based-analysis-state-of-crypto

Chinese quantum benchmark drops secp256k1 attack to 835 logical qubits, down 60% from the 2020 estimate of 2,124; current best hardware reaches 94 logical qubits; addresses with exposed public keys face the greatest future risk -- https://www.tftc.io/quantum-bitcoin-attack-835-logical-qubits-secp256k1, https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/09/10/crypto-researchers-cut-bitcoin-and-ethereum-quantum-attack-estimate-by-50

Alby Hub authentication bypass lets attackers drain Lightning wallets: critical flaw in v1.7.0 through v1.18.5 allows unauthenticated remote takeover when port 8080 is internet-accessible; at least one user confirmed compromised; update to v1.24.0 and block external access to port 8080 -- https://thehackernews.com/2026/09/alby-hub-critical-flaw-could-let.html

Brevo breach lets attackers send phishing from Trezor, BitBox, and CoinTracking domains: attackers created API keys inside Brevo customer accounts allowing emails from real sending domains that passed SPF, DKIM, and DMARC; the lure was a fake STM32 Entropy Vulnerability alert targeting hardware wallet owners; Trezor and BitBox both confirmed the breach on September 9 -- https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/09/10/trezor-confirms-phishing-attack-after-email-provider-breach-users-warned/, https://decrypt.co/377831/bitcoin-wallet-trezor-hackers-breach-email

RELEASES

Highlights

https://github.com/romanz/electrs/releases/tag/v0.12.0 -- 2026-09-13

- Switches to the bindex indexing library. Requires Bitcoin Core 31 or later and a full reindex -- upgrade Core first and plan for downtime, especially on lower-powered hardware.

https://github.com/fedimint/fedimint/releases/tag/v0.12.1 -- 2026-09-12

- Security release fixing a vulnerability in the Lightning gateway's LNv1 payment handling. Gateway operators should upgrade immediately. The fix is consensus-neutral so federation participants and wallet users do not need to coordinate an upgrade.

- Adds SeedQR scanning, Seed XOR splitting into 2-8 Coldcard-compatible shares, NIP-06 Nostr key derivation, BIP-44/49/84/86 descriptor export, and blank backup template printing. Also fixes seed leakage bugs -- existing users should update before use.

https://github.com/ACINQ/phoenix/releases/tag/android-v2.8.2 -- 2026-09-08 (Android), 2026-09-07 (iOS)

- Adds Italian, Japanese, Polish, Ukrainian, and Korean language support. Android users can now manually set feerates on outgoing on-chain transactions, matching iOS parity.

https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/releases/tag/v2.4.4 -- 2026-09-08

- Breaking-change release: NFC payments disabled by default at checkout, zero-amount invoices blocked by default, and Boltcard desktop setup removed in favour of the dedicated Boltcard app. Review the breaking changes before upgrading.

https://github.com/linkinparkrulz/ashigaru-desktop/releases/tag/v1.4.5 -- 2026-09-07

- Major catch-up release. Fixes broken HTTPS connectivity in earlier builds (missing crypto modules broke all outbound connections). Adds in-app update checking with signature verification, a guided tour, dice-based passphrases, and stronger Dojo node verification. Existing users on older versions must download manually.

https://github.com/sethforprivacy/flint/releases/tag/v1.1.0 -- 2026-09-07

- Updates compatibility to BTCPay Server 2.4.4 and enforces Breez SDK Spark release gating. Upgrade alongside BTCPay 2.4.4. All artifacts signed with Sigstore build provenance.

Ashigaru Desktop with Jordan | FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 56

A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth.

Thanks to Jordan for joining us to walk through Ashigaru Desktop live on air. Jordan built a full graphical desktop wallet on top of Ashigaru Terminal, bringing Whirlpool mixing to a wider audience with a guided tour for newcomers, a dice-based EFF passphrase generator, in-app software verification against his https://paynym.rs/, and the ability to mix straight to cold storage using an output descriptor. We watched a full mix go through in real time, explored the Mix To feature for sending post-mix funds directly to a Passport Prime wallet, and talked through bad bank, pool fees, and keeping KYC and privacy stacks separate.

Download Ashigaru Desktop and follow the project on GitHub: https://github.com/linkinparkrulz/ashigaru-desktop/releases

Learn more about Ashigaru Terminal and get the download: https://ashigaru.rs/download/

Check pool activity at https://whirlpoolstats.xyz/ and connect Passport to software wallets: https://docs.foundation.xyz/passport/connect/

Liquid explainer: cached validation versus key compromise

- Use https://x.com/OrangeSurfBTC/status/2096765508431294843 alongside the https://defiprime.com/liquid-network-peg-out-exploit. Treat early reporting as provisional, not a completed postmortem.
- The reported flaw lets an invalid proof receive a cached pass; confidential amounts do not make validity unknowable. https://x.com/OrangeSurfBTC/status/2096765508431294843 reports one explorer rejected the transaction, with the cause of divergence unresolved.
- Do not describe this as cryptographically bypassing federation signatures, or assert that Confidential Transactions hid issuance from every observer.

Liquid trust model: validation, custody and recovery

- The https://spendnode.io/blog/liquid-network-elements-bug-320m-mint-september-2026/ can frame key compromise versus invalid issuance, but its incident details need the qualifications above.
- Holding an L-BTC wallet key still leaves the underlying BTC dependent on the federation and the system's validation rules. Mainchain self-custody avoids that particular peg exposure; it does not eliminate all software or consensus risk.
- Pair with https://x.com/Excellion/status/2096819523550855255: an offer to return most funds is not completed recovery, and an acknowledgement is not proof of a complete patch.

https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2026/09/04/ #421: Silent Payments for Mining Pool Coinbase Payouts -- https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2026/09/04/

- Published: 2026-09-04
- Explains how mining pools could use BIP352 silent payment addresses to pay miners directly in coinbase transactions, replacing xpub-based payouts and improving miner privacy. The newsletter also covers the full CLN ping-flood DoS disclosure and post-quantum signature proposals.
- A concrete, actionable application of silent payments moving from theory to real infrastructure. Shows how the protocol can improve miner privacy without new consensus changes. The CLN disclosure detail is also worth mentioning as https://x.com/OrangeSurfBTC/status/2096774402276729118 to last episode's CLN coverage.

https://github.com/sethforprivacy/flint/releases/tag/v1.0.3 -- 2026-08-28

- Security audit follow-up for Seth's BTCPay Server plugin. Strips macOS payloads from the build, pins the release path, and restores file permissions after dylib stripping. All artifacts are Sigstore-attested with no maintainer key required.Also in window: https://github.com/sethforprivacy/flint/releases/tag/v1.0.2 (2026-08-27) -- 23% smaller package, shared reconciliation scans reducing SDK calls for idle stores, cached Spark network status reads. Follows the v1.0.0 milestone which fixed a payment-hash association security issue.
- https://github.com/Foundation-Devices/envoy/releases/tag/v2.3.3 -- 2026-08-27Point release improving Passport Prime pairing reliability with automatic retry and clock-drift tolerance. Also fixes a visual bug where seed verification puzzle words could overflow at high zoom, and removes a hardcoded Stripe test key.
- https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/releases/tag/2.5.4 -- 2026-08-27Significant hardware wallet security hardening: mandatory anti-klepto on BitBox02, Ledger wallet policy re-registration on rejection, and serialised USB device access to prevent enumeration interrupting operations. Also improves BIP129/descriptor import validation and SLIP39 passphrase handling.
- https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair/releases/tag/v0.14.2 -- 2026-08-26ACINQ released Eclair v0.14.2 with fixes for bugs that "can be exploited by malicious nodes." The release also documents that bitcoind should run on the same machine as eclair or use a secure tunnel. Upgrade is "highly recommended."
- https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/releases/tag/v2.4.3 -- 2026-08-24Security release recommended for servers shared with many users. Release notes are minimal, stating only that updating is recommended. Published by NicolasDorier with a GPG-verified commit.
- https://github.com/BitBoxSwiss/bitbox02-firmware/releases/tag/firmware/v9.27.0 -- 2026-08-24Displays long transaction and swap amounts in full instead of truncating. Adds message signing for keys in the m/45' namespace and supports timestamp-based absolute locktimes. Stepped upgrade path required from older firmware versions.
- https://github.com/Blockstream/Jade/blob/1.0.41/CHANGELOG.md and Reflects on the Coldcard Fallout -- https://blog.blockstream.com/reflections-on-the-coldcard-fallout/Published: 2026-08-25Blockstream released Jade firmware 1.0.41 alongside a blog post responding to the Coldcard RNG vulnerability. Jade is not affected (no degraded RNG fallback path, mixes multiple entropy sources through SHA512). Release is security hardening: runtime bumped to latest stable, increased stack protection, updated dependencies, audited sensitive-memory clearing. Not urgent but recommended. 1.0.42 on an expedited timeline for less serious reports. The post reveals dozens of AI-automated scans landed on Jade within days of the Coldcard disclosure, plus multiple human reviews. Credit to Spiral's Loupe tool and the Kvazar agentic harness.

NEWS

The Coldcard entropy catastrophe

Sources: https://blog.coinkite.com/entropy-technical-backgrounder/ / https://www.therage.co/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-coldcard-hack/ / https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/the-largest-hardware-wallet-exploit-of-2026-inside-the-usd-116-million-coldcard-hack / https://coldcard.rip/ / https://cktripwire.com/ / https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/coldcard-victims-report-median-loss-1btc

EXPLAINER
The largest self-custody theft on record, and it traces back to a single wrong conditional. In March 2021 a build guard checked whether Coldcard's hardware random number generator was defined rather than whether it was enabled, so seed generation silently fell back to a deterministic software PRNG. Every seed made on an affected device from that point carried roughly 40 bits of entropy on Mk2 and Mk3, and about 72 on Mk4, Mk5 and Q, instead of the intended 128. That is guessable. Someone did the maths offline, derived the addresses, checked them against the public chain, and swept everything with a balance. Somewhere between 1,400 and 1,800 bitcoin gone, depending on whose forensics you trust, with a median victim loss of one BTC. The part people keep missing: updating the firmware does not fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.

ACTION FOR LISTENERS

- Move funds to a brand new seed BEFORE upgrading firmware (Lopp's guidance, on reports of update problems).
- Use high fees. If you see your own coins in the mempool, the attacker opted into RBF and you can outbid them. Window is minutes.
- Multisig users: consider a private mempool like Marathon's Slipstream.
- Keep the device; the UID may prove ownership in any recovery process.
- Updating does NOT fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.
- You are exempt only if you added 50+ fair independent private dice rolls, or used a strong unique BIP39 passphrase stored separately.

BTCPay Server: unauthenticated LND macaroon theft, actively exploited

Sources: https://blog.btcpayserver.org/security-advisory-btcpay-server-2-4-2/ / https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/releases/tag/v2.4.2 / https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/08/08/another-bitcoin-infrastructure-exploit-hits-this-time-draining-merchant-lightning-nodes / https://www.tftc.io/btcpay-server-v2-4-2-lnd-macaroon-exploit-lightning-nodes-drained

CRITICAL FRAMING NOTE: this is ONE story, not two. The "BTCPay bug" and the "LND credential exploit" are the same event. The vulnerability is the macaroon leak. The Aug 8-9 wave of coverage is follow-up hardening, not a new incident. Do not present them separately.

REMEDIATION (updating alone is NOT enough)

- Update to v2.4.2. Verify "2.4.2" in the footer.
- Update NBXplorer to 2.6.10+.
- Revoke and regenerate LND macaroons. Updating stops new theft but does nothing about already-stolen credentials. Deleting files is insufficient; the macaroon root signing key must be destroyed at node level. v2.4.2 does this automatically for standard Docker deployments. Custom reverse proxies, separate Tor services or port forwarding must rotate manually.
- Move funds out of any BTCPay-generated on-chain hot wallet and recreate it.
- Update LND to 0.21.1. Audit for unrecognised channel closures, unknown peers, unexplained balance changes.

SIDE EFFECT WORTH FLAGGING: v2.4.2 removes public LND API access on Docker deployments, which breaks remote wallet connections such as Zeus connecting to your own BTCPay node. Intentional, no restoration timeline published.
BREAKING CHANGE: Greenfield Basic authentication disabled by default five minutes after account creation (#7492). BTCPay: "We are not aware of any user impacted by this breaking change, as API Keys authentication is generally used."

Boltz suspends all swaps indefinitely
Sources: https://x.com/Boltzhq/status/2084311537502630319 / https://canary.boltz.exchange/ / https://thedefiant.io/news/defi/bitcoin-bridge-boltz-halts-swaps-indefinitely-citing-ai-assisted-attacks / https://www.tftc.io/boltz-bitcoin-swaps-suspended-ai-attacks / https://www.bullbitcoin.com/blog/boltz-has-suspended-its-swap-services-your-funds-are-safe-here-is-what-it-means-for-bull-wallet-users

CORRECTION TO THE COMMON FRAMING: Boltz has not shut down. It suspended swap services indefinitely. And the canary sequence runs the opposite way to the rumour: lapsed → suspended → renewed clean.

The Bitcoin Red Team
Sources: Calle and Rob Hamilton on Nostr/X / https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/bitcoin-red-team-finds-85-critical-flaws-across-390-open-source-repos-after-coldcard-exploit / https://www.coindesk.com/ / https://www.tftc.io/ / https://opensats.org/funds/red
SUMMARY
This is the story that explains the other four. After the Coldcard exploit, Calle and Rob Hamilton pointed frontier AI models at the open-source Bitcoin stack and started auditing everything. In 108 hours, 25 developers scanned 501 projects and produced 7,958 findings, 1,280 of them rated high or critical, at a compute cost north of 58,000 dollars. They found the BTCPay bug's neighbours, and Boltz cited exactly this dynamic when it switched itself off. The uncomfortable symmetry is that the same capability doing the defending is what an attacker almost certainly used on Coldcard in the first place. And the bottleneck turns out not to be finding bugs, it is telling anyone: only 19.5% of the projects they scanned even have a http://SECURITY.md file, and only 13.1% list a security contact. The scanners move at machine speed. Responsible disclosure is still hunting around for an email address.

BIP-110: the fork that mined two blocks and froze

RELEASES

Bitcoin core / protocol

- https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/releases/tag/v0.8.0 - 2026-08-03Adds a native Silent Payments (BIP-352) module directly into the crypto library nearly every self-custody wallet builds on, plus up to ~11% faster signature verification. Quietly the most consequential positive release of the fortnight: it lowers the bar for every wallet to ship reusable static receive addresses.
- https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/tag/v29.4.knots20260508 - 2026-08-08Non-urgent maintenance: fixes a chainstate DB bug causing repeated large rewrites, and adds corruption-detection safeguards around BIP-110 mandatory signaling. No critical fixes. (No Bitcoin Core release in window; latest is v31.1 from 2026-07-08.)

Hardware / signing

- https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/releases/tag/2026-07-31T1248-v4.2.0 - 2026-08-03The patch for the entropy catastrophe. Affected ranges: Mk2/Mk3 4.0.1 through 4.1.9; Mk4/Mk5 all before 5.6.0; Q all before 1.5.0Q. Companion fixes shipped the same day: https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/releases/tag/2026-07-31T0519-v5.6.0, https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/releases/tag/2026-07-31T0517-v1.5.0Q, https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/releases/tag/2026-07-31T1609-v6.6.0X, https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/releases/tag/2026-07-31T1605-v6.6.0QX. Updating does NOT fix an existing seed - changelog says Mk3 users "must regenerate any seeds made on earlier versions as their entropy is critically low at just ~40 bits." TAPSIGNER, OPENDIME and SATSCARD unaffected.
- https://github.com/selfcustody/krux/releases/tag/v26.08.0 - 2026-08-04Maintainer odudex is stepping down and the project may be archived. "Krux was not created by me: Jeff started it and passed it on to me, and now it is my turn to pass the torch." On succession: "Krux may be carried on by another maintainer, if a proof-of-work backed Krux contributor accepts the role. Otherwise the Krux project will be put in sunset mode and gracefully archived in a few months." Cause is hardware, not drama: "K210 chips are no longer produced, and Canaan dropped the Kendryte line entirely." Substantial release regardless: fixes a heap buffer overflow in the camera entropy module, adds stricter PSBT fee-calculation checks, replaces the Python UR stack with a faster C module, and makes Krux Installer fully offline.
- https://github.com/frostsnap/frostsnap/releases/tag/v0.3.0 - 2026-08-05FROST threshold-signing device ships reproducible/deterministic builds and "a fresh release signing key as part of an overhauled release-signing pipeline." Well timed in a fortnight where "can you verify what is running on your signer" is the whole conversation. Catch: the new key breaks in-place Android updates, so direct-APK users must uninstall, reinstall, and re-visit their threshold devices to restore.
- https://github.com/trezor/trezor-suite/releases/tag/v26.7.4 - 2026-08-04Lowers minimum Normal-priority fee rate to 0.2 sat/vB and ships updated Safe 7/5/3 and Model T firmware with security improvements.
- https://github.com/BitBoxSwiss/bitbox-wallet-app/releases/tag/v4.51.4 - 2026-08-07Bundles new BitBox02 firmware v9.26.5.
- https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/releases/tag/v2.1.11 - 2026-08-09Genuinely security-relevant: adds auth and CSRF protection to the HWI bridge settings, restores validation of active API tokens so revoked JWTs are rejected, and warns that Specter's auth layer does not encrypt the data folder. Also ships an in-app Coldcard Mk3 seed-entropy advisory.
- https://github.com/proto-at-block/bitkey/releases/tag/source%2F2026-08-02-0031 - 2026-08-02Block's consumer hardware wallet, routine source drop.

Lightning

- https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/releases/tag/v2.4.2 - 2026-08-07Actively exploited, funds already stolen. "This release contains fix of a critical vulnerability that is being actively exploited. You need to update as fast as you can." Unauthenticated remote .macaroon disclosure for LND, plus a TOTP 2FA bypass via Greenfield Basic auth. Requires NBXplorer 2.6.10. Breaking change: Basic auth disabled by default five minutes after account creation. See News item 2 for full remediation.
- https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/releases/tag/v0.21.2-beta.rc1 and https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/releases/tag/v0.20.3-beta.rc1 - 2026-08-08Not security releases and not related to the BTCPay exploit. Migration/stability fixes only: KV-to-SQL payment migration edge case, channeldb migration recovery, invoice handling, data races, bounded memory on graph sync.
- https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/releases/tag/v13.1.3 - 2026-07-27Adds LND v0.21.1-beta support for embedded and remote nodes; patches known vulnerabilities in the ws, js-yaml and markdown-it dependencies. (Note: Zeus also shipped an unreleased swap-security sprint on 08-04 - verify…

(55:40) https://mynymbox.io

In this episode of the Bitcoin Brief, Q and I catch up on a packed run of developments across Bitcoin, privacy and open source. We start with the launch of freedom.tech, our new AI-powered news desk for tracking hundreds of FreedomTech projects, and touch on the latest Passport Prime firmware release before getting into the bigger stories. We cover India’s attempted takedown of Jack Dorsey’s BitChat repositories and why attacks on decentralised, censorship-resistant tools are likely to intensify, then move to a worrying US border case involving a GrapheneOS duress PIN and what it means for travellers’ privacy rights. We also dig into the latest delay to the Clarity Act, a strange new US ‘Freedom Tech Excellence Program’ involving some very familiar surveillance-adjacent names, and Block’s new open-source collaboration tool, Buzz, which looks like a compelling way to combine team chat with AI agents and Nostr-based infrastructure.

Later, we check in on BIP 110 and the increasingly unlikely path to activation, with signalling still far below the required threshold and the prospect of a messy split looking more real by the day. We finish with a rapid-fire roundup of notable releases, including Nunchuk adding Liquid Tether support, Lightning Labs unveiling Wavelength for non-custodial agentic payments, StartOS 0.4 reaching main release, updates from BlueWallet and Cake Wallet, and quality-of-life improvements in Ashigaru. As always, the focus is on what actually matters: tools that help people stay sovereign, private and better informed.

NEWS

- Bisq v1 trade protocol exploit: 11.59 BTC drained, fully reimbursed, hardening shipped in 1.10.0 (https://bisq.community/t/psa-trade-protocol-exploit-discovered-investigations-ongoing/13664, https://x.com/bisq_network/status/2050206753246363819, reimbursement plan on https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals)Disclosed: 2026-05-01Bisq's v1 trade protocol had a missing validation check on taker-side input. Because maker and taker were supposed to use the same miner fee, a malicious taker could push a bad fee value through the transaction math and shrink the multisig output to 0.001 BTC while sweeping the rest into the taker's change. Attacker drained 11.59 BTC from 10 users, all on altcoin trades. Maintainer Henrik Jannsen filed a reimbursement plan on GitHub on May 3, payouts in BTC (with BSQ as optional), DAO vote scheduled around May 25. The hotfix landed as https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases/tag/v1.10.0 on 2026-05-16 with broader hardening: trade protocol checks, network message validation, release verification, supply-chain hardening. The Bisq team explicitly flagged the incident as a likely AI-assisted exploit, though they did not detail how AI was used.
- Sterlingov Appeal: The Criminalization of Privacy (https://www.therage.co/sterlingov-appeal-the-criminalization-of-privacy/)Published: 2026-05-12The appellate court reviewing Roman Sterlingov's Bitcoin Fog conviction openly suggested that mixers remain "legal in theory but not practice" once criminals use them. Judges questioned whether running an internationally accessible service forces compliance with every jurisdiction's licensing regime.
- Pro-law-enforcement CLARITY Act advances out of Senate Banking (https://www.therage.co/clarity-act-senate-banking/)Published: 2026-05-15The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act passed committee with expanded surveillance provisions: Bank Secrecy Act integration sixteen times over, new PATRIOT Act special measures. Privacy advocates flagged the breadth of data collection on Americans who haven't done anything.
- CVE-2024-52911 disclosed in Bitcoin Optech #405, fix has been in Bitcoin Core 29.0+ since release (https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2026/05/15/)Published: 2026-05-05Use-after-free in parallel script validation between Bitcoin Core 0.14.0 and 28.x. Required attacker-supplied proof-of-work, so practical attack window was narrow, but the bug sat unannounced across many versions.
- Bitcoin Knots 29.3 enables BIP-110, fork-off countdown started (https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/tag/v29.3.knots20260508) + Lopp's https://jlopp.github.io/knotzi-death-march/Published: 2026-05-09 (release)Knots 29.3 ships RDTS soft-fork enforcement on by default. Nodes running Knots with this flag set will fork off the network in August unless they change behaviour. Lopp set up a countdown.
- Bybit exploit post-mortem (Blockstream): enterprise multisig + hardware wallets did not save them (https://blog.blockstream.com/what-the-bybit-exploit-reveals-about-enterprise-custody/)Published: 2026-05 (week of 5-12)$1.5B drained despite multisig and hardware. Failure was process, not key custody, a UI / signing-flow compromise.
- Poland passes EU MiCA-aligned crypto bill while Zondacrypto fraud probe deepens (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/poland-passes-crypto-bill-as-fraud)Published: 2026-05-15Polish lawmakers ratified the MiCA framework ahead of the July EU deadline. The vote landed alongside an investigation into Zondacrypto's collapse, roughly $96M of user losses, with Prime Minister Tusk floating possible foreign-influence angles.
- Claude helps retrieve lost 5BTCX user 'https://x.com/cprkrn/status/2054586810475364536'; has Claude check over whole file system and match a wallet file to an old password
- Spiral and Block ship Loupe, an AI-powered vulnerability scanner for open-source Bitcoin (https://spiralbtc.substack.com/p/meet-loupe-ai-powered-vulnerability)Published: 2026-05-12Uses LLMS to surface security weaknesses in code repositories and requires demonstrable test cases for any vulnerability report so false positives are minimised. Spiral and Block are funding scans themselves; reports go to maintainers confidentially before any public disclosure.

DOJ "Developer Exemptions" Announced at Bitcoin 2026 - But Are They Real?

- Published: April 27-28, 2026
- Sources: https://www.therage.co/blanche-vegas/ | http://Crypto.news
- Summary: Acting AG Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel told Bitcoin 2026 that developers who write code without "knowingly" helping criminals will not be charged. Blanche claimed the DOJ has "fundamentally changed the game" and ended "regulation by prosecution." L0la L33tz at The Rage argues the exemption is performative - the government's existing cases treat receiving a complaint email or reading a news article about misuse as sufficient "knowledge."

- Published: April 25, 2026
- Sources: https://www.therage.co | https://reason.com/2026/04/12/this-bitcoiner-is-now-in-prison/

Storm was convicted on the unlicensed money transmitter charge but the jury couldn't agree on the two more serious counts (up to 40 years combined).

- Summary: Vercel disclosed a breach traced to a compromised Google Workspace connection through a third-party AI tool (http://Context.ai). The hack exposed environment variables and API keys for numerous Web3 projects. Solana DEX Orca confirmed it rotated all deployment credentials. A cybercrime forum post claimed to be selling Vercel data for $2M.

- Published: May 3, 2026

No More Martyrs | THE UNBOUNDED SERIES: Colonial

In this special episode, I explain why we’re re-hosting the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits and end the series with a forward-looking conversation with Colonial, author of Sovereignty Requires Privacy: Lessons from the Fall of Samourai Wallet.

Tbd and Colonial explore sovereignty as territorial control—physical and digital—and why exposure is the enemy in a world where information is the battlefield. Colonial unpacks how privacy tools challenge the geopolitical order, why martyrs lose, and why the next era belongs to disciplined, anonymous builders who move with intention. They walk through practical lessons from the Samourai saga, from the limits of playing by “their” rules to a new code for anon warfare, and close with actionable steps listeners can take now, including adopting Ashigaru’s Whirlpool implementation and strengthening operational discretion. This one is about clarity over nostalgia: either you control your territory, or someone else will.

Resources mentioned: Colonial’s writings at sovereigncolony.com; Ashigaru Wallet and Terminal (ashigaru.rs) for Whirlpool; reading on territoriality (Robert Ardrey’s The Territorial Imperative) and philosophical frames (Nietzsche, Evola).

NEWS

- Roman Storm Acquittal?? - https://www.therage.co/acquittal-for-storm-exotic-theories/Rule 29 hearing in SDNY. Retrial dates floated: Oct, Nov, Jan 2027.Gov theory: running Tornado Cash was criminal, but mixers aren't illegal and it wasn't criminal at inception. Failla: so when did liability start?Gov collapsed UI and protocol. Claimed Tornado Cash itself transferred funds — user wallets as "instrumentalities."Only 15% of volume was illicit across the charged period.Failla to prosecutor: "I might argue you were doing better before you started talking."
- BIP-361 - https://www.bip361.org/New proposal from Jameson Lopp and others (submitted 14 April) to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers.Quantum computers could one day crack the cryptography Bitcoin uses today (ECDSA/Schnorr). BIP-361 forces everyone to move to new quantum-safe address types before that happens.Two phases: first, you can't send to old-style addresses. Five years later, old-style coins can't be spent at all. If you haven't moved your coins by then, they're frozen.Controversial because it means coins that don't migrate get effectively confiscated — including Satoshi's ~1M BTC and anything on lost seeds. Breaks Bitcoin's "your coins are yours forever" promise.BitMEX pushed back with a "wait and see" alternative: only freeze coins if quantum is actually proven to exist.Foundation angle: if you hold your own keys, you just migrate when new address types ship. The people at risk are exchange users, lost-seed holders, and very old wallets.
- Bitcoin Depot Hacked - 50.9 BTC ($3.7M) Stolen - https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/bitcoin-depot-reports-3-7-million / https://www.securityweek.com/3-6-million-stolen-in-bitcoin-depot-hack/Published: Breach detected March 23, disclosed April 8-9, 2026Bitcoin Depot, the largest crypto ATM operator in the US (9,000+ machines, 47 states), lost 50.9 BTC after attackers gained control of credentials for digital asset settlement accounts. Customer data was not affected. SEC disclosure filed April 8.Talking points: Centralised custodians are honeypots. One set of credentials = nearly $4M gone. The 16-day gap between detection and disclosure is worth noting. Compare with self-custody where there is no single point of failure.
- Kraken Insider Extortion - Support Staff Recruited by Criminal Groups - https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/04/13/crypto-exchange-kraken-targeted-in-extortion-attempt-but-says-there-was-no-breach-and-no-client-funds-at-riskPublished: April 13, 2026A criminal group is extorting Kraken after two insider incidents where support staff inappropriately accessed data from ~2,000 client accounts. No funds were at risk. Kraken warned of coordinated insider recruitment campaigns targeting crypto, gaming, and telecom firms.Talking points: Your exchange account is only as secure as the lowest-paid support worker with access to your data. This is organised, coordinated insider recruitment across multiple industries. Self-custody eliminates this counterparty risk entirely. Credit to Kraken for transparency and refusing to pay.
- Fake Ledger Live app on Mac App Store - https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/04/14/a-fake-ledger-app-on-the-apple-app-store-just-drained-usd9-5-million-in-crypto$9.5M drained from 50+ victims between 7–13 April via fake Ledger Live macOS app on Apple's App Store.Hits across BTC, ETH, Tron, Solana, XRP. Three seven-figure losses — largest $3.23M USDT. Musician G. Love lost 5.9 BTC.Attack vector: app prompted users to enter recovery phrase. Game over.Published under "Leva Heal Limited." Faked version history 1.0 to 5.0 in two weeks to look legit. Passed App Review.Funds laundered through 150+ KuCoin deposit addresses tied to "AudiA6" mixer. KuCoin froze accounts until 20 April only.

The Code Lives On | THE UNBOUNDED SERIES: Dojo Coder

In this special series, Max shares why we’re hosting and preserving the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits. In the fourth re-release of the series, Dojo Coder (Pavel)— a long-time cypherpunk builder whose code has powered Samourai Wallet, Dojo and Ronin Dojo joins tbd.

Tbd and Pavel dig into the current state of Ronin Dojo, why the project remains alive despite setbacks, and a near-term UI update that will reintroduce a transaction privacy visualiser inspired by the now-defunct KYCP.org. Pavel also reflects on Ashigaru—a community fork of Samourai Wallet—and the relaunch of Whirlpool as an open act of defiance, the trade-offs and trust questions it raises, and practical guidance on evaluating transparency and risk. We close with Soroban’s peer-to-peer relay for Dojo to further obfuscate transaction origins, why code is speech even when courts disagree, and how listeners can support the Samourai legal defence while staying informed through reliable voices in the privacy community.

Stay resilient, and enjoy the series as we continue with Colonial in the weeks ahead.

A Prescription for Privacy | The Confab 30: Vik Sharɱa

In this Confab, Max sits down with Vik Sharɱa, founder and CEO of Cake Wallet, for a candid journey from his early hacking days on the Apple II, through decades in the steel industry, to discovering Bitcoin in 2013 and Monero in 2016.

Vik shares the eye‑opening moment Coinbase shut his account for a small darknet market purchase of antibiotics—an incident that catalysed his deep dive into privacy and ultimately inspired Cake Wallet’s creation. Max and Vik explore why privacy should be a default, how Monero’s out‑of‑the‑box protections compare with Bitcoin’s more complex privacy tooling, and why a multi‑coin world empowers users rather than divides them. Max and Vik also dig into the rapid rise of AI: how it’s reshaping software development, enabling non‑coders to build real tools, and what it might mean for self‑custody and user experience in the months ahead.

Vik reflects on the growing global demand for financial privacy and access—especially via stablecoins as on‑ramps—while emphasising real‑world utility as the backbone of value. He recounts Cake’s experimental culture (silent payments, PayJoin v2, Lightning via Spark) and the team’s willingness to learn in public. Max and Vik wrap on why decentralised money and local/secure AI can help people everywhere earn, spend, and build without permission, and why he’s more optimistic today than he was a few years ago about privacy tech gaining mainstream traction.

St. Patrick's Day Slop | The Confab 29: Rod and Dick

In this Confab, Max sits down with veteran journalists Rod Palmer and Richard “Dick” Greaser to take the pulse of Bitcoin culture after a year away from the fray. They dive into the surge of intra-community debates (from node client wars to “paper Bitcoin” angst), why pleb politics resemble bread-and-circuses, and how Maxi Madness—now running in parallel on Nostr and X—has evolved into a spirited, democratic spectacle that both celebrates and sharpens the culture.

Max, Rod and Dick also explore the uneasy overlap of AI and Bitcoin: from “AI glaze” addiction and identity crises to why creativity and fun are strategic advantages, culminating in the debut of a powerful Maxi Madness anthem collaboration with singer Noah Grumman. Beyond the headlines, we talk cultural drift, keeping conviction amid price fatigue, and why playfulness, music, and building matter as much as technical progress. If you’ve felt the scene get too serious, this conversation is a reminder to have fun, create, and participate—because eternal glory awaits in Maxi Madness and beyond.

Maxi Madness brackets and voting on X (Bitcoin Bugle) and Nostr (Primal), the bracket pick’em challenge, and prediction markets via PreX (Bitcoin-only).

Surviving the Kidnap Threat | The Confab 28: Kevin Loaec

In this Confab, Max sit down with Kevin Loaec, CEO of WizardSardine, for a frank discussion on the surge in coordinated, violent Bitcoin-related kidnappings in France and broader personal security lessons for anyone holding wealth. They explore practical, non-technical measures—community awareness, operational silence, modest living, and physical deterrents—alongside technical defences that reduce attacker incentives. Kevin explains why the threat was “late but inevitable,” how societal factors may be fuelling the crime wave, and why relocation and strong local networks can matter as much as any wallet setup.Max and Kevin discuss Liana, WizardSardine’s time-locked, Taproot-powered wallet. Kevin breaks down inheritance-first design, decaying/expanding policies, and how time locks can prevent premature access while enabling robust recovery for families and businesses—without revealing recovery paths on-chain. They cover miniscript device support (what works today and what’s missing), fee/UX trade-offs, future payjoin integrations, and how to pair Liana with spending wallets or Lightning for better privacy. If you’ve ever worried about $5 wrench attacks, estate planning, or operational resilience, this one’s essential listening.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools

Save In Bitcoin, Spend in Monero | THE UNBOUNDED SERIES: Seth For Privacy

In this special series, Max shares why we’re hosting and preserving the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits. In the third re-release of the series, Seth For Privacy — educator, builder and VP at Cake Wallet joins TBD. Seth brings a candid, practical nuance to the state of Bitcoin and Monero, the realities of social media and education, and what “good enough privacy” means for everyday people versus targeted dissidents. Seth and TBD dig into saving in Bitcoin, spending in Monero, the impact of the Samourai Wallet case, why PayJoin V2 and silent payments matter, and how adoption—not tribalism—will determine the future of digital sovereignty. Seth shares a pragmatic optimism: we’re winning in usability and tooling, but only if we keep building, learning and refusing false binaries. We explore the current crossroads for Bitcoin privacy, the legal chill from Tornado Cash/Samourai prosecutions, Nostr versus X for reach, and Monero’s resilience amid delistings. Seth outlines practical advice for non-technical users, red lines for builders, and his long-view goal: tools that let individuals opt out of broken systems and into freedom—no permission required. Stay resilient, and enjoy the series as we continue with Pavel and Colonial in the weeks ahead.TWITTER: https://x.com/TheUNBOUNDEDPod

Defending Bitcoin Privacy | THE UNBOUNDED SERIES: Diverter

In this special series, Max shares why we’re hosting and preserving the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits. In the second re-release of the series, Diverter — a privacy activist and champion of financial sovereignty joins TBD. TBD and Diverter discuss Bitcoin’s evolution from a fragile experiment into a durable network, and the new danger it faces—not extinction, but domestication. Diverter explains why the real fight now is over whether individuals can still use Bitcoin as a tool for freedom, the chilling effect of recent prosecutions, and how development of privacy tools is being pushed underground. They trace Diverter’s journey from a 2016 trader to a Bitcoin privacy advocate, his early connection to Samourai Wallet, and the community ethos of clear red lines and radical personal responsibility. He reflects on the cost of building and defending privacy, why most people “fold” under state pressure, and the honour—and inevitability—of sacrifice in this arena. TBD and Diverter discuss the Samourai case, the legal whiplash around non-custodial tools, the ripple effects across the industry, and why open source resilience matters. Despite setbacks, Diverter remains convinced that “winning” means keeping the door open for anyone who chooses sovereignty—small daily acts of defiance, built by a decentralised, determined community. Stay resilient, and enjoy the series as we continue with Seth, Pavel, and Colonial in the weeks ahead.TWITTER: https://x.com/TheUNBOUNDEDPod

Closed AI Is the New Censorship | The Confab 27: Marks

In this Confab, Max sits down with Marks from Maple AI for a candid dive into privacy-first AI and how it intersects with the Bitcoin and Monero worlds many of us live in. They explore his journey from Apple’s AI/ML and product-launch trenches to Mutiny Wallet and now Maple, a secure, confidential-computing alternative to mainstream AI assistants. Marks shares how lawyers, accountants, therapists, and privacy-conscious users are adopting Maple to protect client data while still getting powerful AI assistance, and we unpack why closed AIs can shape narratives through hidden prompts, profiling, and subtle persuasion—especially in future crisis scenarios.Max and Marks also look ahead: open-source and local AI, encrypted enclaves, and the path to personal “Jarvis” agents with strong memory and on-device sovereignty. From live translation and wearables to body-language detection, they consider the benefits and risks—and how cryptographic identity, consent-based data sharing, and verifiable systems could keep humans in control. Marks points listeners to his essay “The Free Thought Manifesto” at https://aiwithconfidence.org

No Price, Just Privacy | MONERO MONTHLY 13: Riccardo Spagni

In our first live Monero Monthly, Max and Seth are joined by Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni for a candid tour through Monero’s origin story and culture. Riccardo dives into the chaotic Bytecoin days, how a secret fork birthed Monero after a contentious merge-mining push, and why missing comments, odd code obfuscations, and a deliberately crippled miner set off everyone’s spidey senses.Riccardo shares the serendipitous formation of the Monero Research Lab—hiring Sarang and Surae via a Reddit post—and a hilarious Utah road-trip mishap that bonded early contributors. They also explore how Monero’s antifragile culture emerged from a strict no-price-talk ethos, pseudonymous contribution, and a relentless focus on usable privacy that’s helped real people in difficult situations.They close with reflections on delistings, decentralised access, level-headed responses to network “attacks,” and how Tari aims to provide privacy-first smart contracts without compromising Monero’s design. Listener Q&A covers delistings pushing P2P adoption, cultural decisions that made Monero durable, handling selfish-mining FUD, practical privacy in tightening EU regs, and what Tari brings to the table.

In this episode of PMM, Jon & Max reflect on what the show has been, what it is, and where they want to take it next. They talk candidly about ditching rigid prep and Bitcoin-only rails to embrace broader, real‑world building: skills, tools, community, and practical sovereignty. From Jon's first local educational event with Fundamentals and Shadrach, to celebrating the high‑functioning doers in the Meshtadel, the focus is shifting toward action over theory—featuring people who actually build things, run businesses, and strengthen local resilience.

Ungovernable Podcasting | The Confab 26: Barry & ChadF

In this episode of The Confab, Max sits down with Barry (Podhome) and ChadF to chart where independent podcasting is headed and why Podcasting 2.0 still matters. They dig into keeping speech free via open RSS, the practical trade-offs of centralized platforms, and how value-for-value actually works in the wild—from Lightning boosts to Monero tips, funding tags and fiat donation pages. Barry shares Podhome’s ethos (don’t deplatform lawful speech), its all‑in features for creators, and what’s next on the product roadmap. ChadF traces the lineage from No Agenda to today’s Podcast Index, explains the messy reality of wallets, Keysend vs LNURL, and why onboarding listeners is the real nut to crack. Max, Barry and ChadF also cover chapters and artwork as creative glue, treating your show like a business without expecting it to pay the bills, and why word‑of‑mouth still grows the best shows. If you were ever wanting to start a podcast, then there's some really good advice to get going.ChadF closes with his recent “vibe coding” builds, including a self‑hosted music player for The Doerfels and his StableKraft app that curates value‑for‑value music into a proper listening experience—all pushing the open, independent future we want to see.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools

A Pioneer Miner Story (II)

In episode 2 of 2, Jon takes you behind the scenes of a year-long grind to resurrect a coal bed methane site and turn stranded gas into hash. From first setting eyes on a fenced-off relic of Western Pennsylvania’s industrial past to firing up the compressor and plumbing an entire valve bank and trunk line, he share the setbacks, small wins, and the sheer stubbornness it took to keep going. You’ll meet Mark Lidecker—the 50-year oil and gas veteran whose story and mentorship anchored this project—along with the friends and hard‑charging helpers who kept showing up at 3 a.m., threading pipe, moving 40‑foot towers, and dragging generators down goat tracks in Western PA. Jon and Max talk honest energy, regenerative agriculture dreams, and the raw logistics of building an off‑grid operation: scavenging and reviving generators, managing negative pressure and heat, designing for excess gas, and learning the craft one union and leak at a time. More than a technical tale, it’s a lesson in mentorship, faith, family support, and community— the Pleb Miner Mafia, the Meshtadel and countless hands—turning doubt into momentum.
