Why does anyone build their own computer, everytime I have to touch hardware it's the most frustrating thing imaginable

[Rene Pickhardt @renepickhardt]

Today is a sad day for the Lightning Network community as one of our very respected developers is moving on to new ventures.

At the same time, I am delighted that I had the opportunity to collaborate with @rusty_twit and learn so much from him. In any case, I wish him well!

[Project Loupe @ProjectLoupe]

First batch of projects onboarded, including ██████, ████, ██████, ██████, █████, ████████ and █████.

Scanning for vulns without generating AI slop has begun. Responsible disclosures to maintainers coming soon.

@Paulthefree @lightningdevkit @benthecarman @CashApp @Square @moneydevkit @lightspark @lexeapp @getAlby That was a conscious decision as our bindings generator didn't allow to have them generated automatically up until recently. We however were able to upgrade to a version that supports this recently, so next release will have API docs available in the target languages.

@StirlingForge @TFTC21 @ProjectLoupe @spiralbtc It is. https://t.co/7Hq5ufb48w

[Lightning Dev Kit @lightningdevkit]

1/ In case you missed the announcement from @benthecarman, we are releasing a production-grade Lightning node for servers.

Everything that powers the likes of @CashApp, @Square, @moneydevkit, @lightspark, @lexeapp, and @getalby is packaged as a daemon anyone can run.

[NOUN]

1) A small magnifying tool used by jewelers to detect imperfections in gemstones.

2) An AI-powered vulnerability scanner for open-source bitcoin projects, designed by Block and Spiral to surface flaws before attackers do.

[Spiral @spiralbtc]

Meet Loupe, an AI-powered vulnerability scanner for open-source bitcoin projects. Attackers already use AI to find weaknesses. Maintainers should do the same.

Bitcoin Core, BDK, LDK, rust-bitcoin, Cashu, Jade, bitcoinj, and SRI are already onboard.

@scaling01 As a first experiment I just created a git pre-commit hook tool for it: https://t.co/Mdr8q6WsoL

So, @OpenAI just shipped privacy-filter: a local 1.5B-param model for detecting PII & credentials.

As a first experiment I created 'git-privacy-filter', a simply git pre-commit / pre-push hook tool that refuses to commit anything it flags (link in first reply).

@PalazzoVincenzo I think Cowork is essentially just adding some Claude Code features to Desktop, no? And yes, I've been using and testing it quite a bit already via the MCP integration (see the SKILL file on the homepage).

Happy to announce Bitcoin Knowledge Base can now also be used via ChatGPT.

Let me know how it goes, any feedback very welcome! Also let me know if you're missing a particular repository from the index.

[Elias Rohrer @_tnull]

Created a new knowledge base for the Bitcoin and Lightning development
ecosystem. It's useful for looking up concepts in general, but agent prompting
in particular. It indexes a variety of sources for easy
lookup from your favorite agent interface.

I’m incredibly grateful to receive a grant from @HRF to continue building Programming Lightning and expanding its impact in 2026!

So far, I’ve developed a self-paced “Intro to Payment Channels” course on @Replit, where students implement a Lightning payment channel from the scratch. Once complete, your code will even pass some of the major test vectors provided in BOLT 3. In other words, you’ll be a Lightning Zen Master 😎

If you have any questions or feedback, I’d love to hear from you! Also, if you have experience with Bitcoin/Lightning education, let’s chat! It would be great to share best practices and lessons learned ⚡

You can find the course here: https://t.co/AqkaHnPN4a
