@Blockstream @BlockstreamJade If Anti-Exfil got implemented for Jade QR/air-gap signing, how many scans would signing a tx actually take?

@alberto_mera La has clavado en el timing, fue acabar de verlo y literalmente empezar a subir.

@_Hugo_Ramos_ @BlockstreamJade Better safe than sorry sure, because spending 5 minutes to actually research it isn't an option right?

[Zorbak @Zorbak_]

@pastorcoin @BlockstreamJade Because you can't export an xpub if the device is locked, same for any other HW. If you don't wanna interact with a blind oracle you can always import the seed (temporary sign method).

@_t_o_o_r_a_j_ @BlockstreamJade Caught recycling old FUD without doing the research… then immediately cries “Coinkite-style response.”Ridiculous.

@KeithMukai Shaking dice in a closed box is a clear improvement, it forces tumbling and reduces bias. But the human still controls the shakes (number, force, rhythm), so patterns can linger. A good dice tower removes that variable entirely. Better consistency for real entropy.

@KeithMukai The biggest issue is how you roll them

[Zorbak @Zorbak_]

People lose their minds over casino dice for seed generation…
meanwhile most “casino” dice online are just cosplay, and almost no one talks about the real problem: how you roll them. Dice towers are massively under-discussed.

@BlockstreamJade Does Anti-Exfil on Jade only work with the Blockstream app, or does it also work with Sparrow (and other third-party wallets)?

Bitcoin Core v32.0 is targeted for release in October:

- Up to 3x faster initial sync. Block validation now fetches transaction inputs from disk in parallel instead of one at a time

- The libevent external dependency is fully removed, continuing Core's push to cut third-party dependencies

- Max peer connections raised from 125 to 200 to have more open slots for new nodes to sync from, faster block propagation, and a harder network to eclipse or partition

- Mempool-based fee estimation to cut fee overestimation (in progress)

- Transaction relay rate limiting is now global instead of per-peer, keeping a node's CPU and memory usage steady when transaction volume spikes

- Ships with features from libsecp256k1 0.8.0 with verification up to 11% faster, plus the new Silent Payments module (BIP 352)

- PSBTv2 (BIP 370) support, now the default for PSBT-creating RPCs for better coordination of unsigned transactions for multisig and hardware wallet setups

- New exportwatchonlywallet command to export a wallet as a watch-only file, no private keys, and restore it on your online node

- Core now enables Tor's proof-of-work DDoS defense on the onion service it creates for your node, where the Tor daemon supports it

Additional tests, bugfixes, and features included as well.

Feature freeze is ~August 20, rc1 ~September 10, final release targeted for ~October 10. (Test the release candidates when they ship!)

@402PaymentReq From CD/DVD yes I've tried to but M-DISC was introduced in 2008 or 2009 so not even 20 years yet. But I have some M-DISC and since it lacks organic dye I guess should be fine, in a few years I will try again but for now all good.

@Dimi_h @BitcoinMotorist The only thing BIP-110 has achieved is a tremendous ridicule spectacle.

[Zorbak @Zorbak_]

@USDT0_to Will you add Liquid Network support?

[Zorbak @Zorbak_]

@mattkratter @LukeDashjr BIP-110 supporters have been living in their own little world for months.
The failure was obvious long before the split.
Now it’s just pathetic.

[Zorbak @Zorbak_]

@BasVisser2 @BlockstreamJade @MaxHodler Any decent D&D/RPG d16 from a reputable brand (GameScience, Chessex, etc.) should be fine.

[Zorbak @Zorbak_]

@COLDCARDwallet @darkside2030 Sure, affected users will really appreciate having a fixed firmware in an empty wallet.

[Zorbak @Zorbak_]

@start9labs Near-zero miner support means this BIP-110 fork is about to go unnoticed.
Outside the bubble, no one will care.
Y’all can keep starring in your own movie though.

The only Coldcards that are not affected by the fiasco are the ones that are still running the original Trezor code on them
