@seanclarke911@Liquid_BTC 3 lines of defense hardened:
i) PAK keys refreshed and HWW cold
ii) proof validation caches disabled (and bug fixed for nodes)
iii) consensus rules hardened, and fail closed
Plus 3rd multiple audits. And lesson: treat with suspic8on (dont trust, verify) AI suggested fixes.
Update from the Liquid Federation:
The Liquid Federation is pleased to announce that the network’s bitcoin reserves have been fully restored, reestablishing 1:1 BTC backing for all LBTC.
This follows the restoration of BTC<>LBTC swaps several weeks ago, which have since allowed users to move between Bitcoin and Liquid at a 1:1 rate through participating swap providers. Together, these milestones represent significant progress in the Federation’s recovery efforts and reaffirm its commitment to the long-term security, stability and resilience of the Liquid Network.
As always, the network’s bitcoin reserves are independently verifiable. Users operating their own Liquid nodes can directly verify the Federation’s Proof of Reserves, while reserve balances and network activity can be monitored through the public dashboard at https://t.co/M46Zhn8nlY.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the Bitcoin community, Liquid users, and ecosystem partners for their patience, understanding, and continued engagement throughout the recovery process. Your support and involvement has been instrumental as we worked to restore the network’s reserves and strengthen its underlying infrastructure.
Strengthening the Liquid Network for the Future
Looking ahead, the Federation is advancing several important initiatives designed to strengthen the network’s long-term security, governance, and operational resilience.
These efforts include modernizing the governance structure, introducing clearer responsibilities and oversight, and implementing additional technical and operational safeguards to further protect the network and its participants.
More details on these initiatives and the Federation’s next steps will be shared in the coming weeks.
Restoring full bitcoin backing marks an important milestone, but our work continues. The Federation remains committed to building on the progress of recent years, advancing Liquid’s development, and strengthening the network’s resilience and accessibility for all participants.
Binance libera saques, BTCUSD subindo próximo a 78k
Mais um golpe na Electrum (não é o dark skippy - é no servidor malicioso) identificado e brasileiro perde 0,95 BTC - não era melhor ter feito o setup do https://t.co/Noq0FiJP9C ?
Maioria de quem teve BTC perdeu tudo para: EXIT SCAM, REKKT, PHISHING ou pirâmides.
Lembrem dos 10 mandamentos (da auto custódia)!
🚨 We are receiving reports of hot wallets on BTCPay Servers being swept by unauthorized attackers.
If you're running an instance, please shut it down (./btcpay-down.sh) until we complete the investigation.
Bem lembrado.
Hoje Bitcoin faz 18 anos de concebido - ano que vem faz de existência.
Dia das bruxas vai ser mais conhecido como dia do White Paper - artigo mais importante do milênio, ainda mais que as “95 Teses” de Lutero que também foi publicada em um 31/10.
Essas são as datas históricas do BTC:
31/10/2008 publicação do artigo
03/01/2009 1º Bloco Gênesis
12/01/2009 1ª transação com Hal
17/3/2010 1ª CEX - https://t.co/VTYyBput1d
12/12/2010 último post de Satoshi!
22/5/2011 Pizza Day - 1ª compra com BTC.
26/4/2011 último e-mail de Satoshi para Galvin.
28/11/2012 1° HALVENING!
24/2/2014 Mt Gox sai do ar depois de suspender saques!
1/8/2017 Fork do Bcash GUERRA DOS BLOCOS!
7/9/2021 BTC como moeda de curso legal em El Salvador.
@narcelio Concordo, e realmente esse é o melhor caminho. A segurança e o risco ficam para os bancos no início do aprendizado. Acredito que pouco avançam e estudam para auto custódia.
São essas coisas que entendo que pessoas que se interessam por Bitcoin e não são tão nerds ficam com receio de se envolver com o Bitcoin e quando se envolvem vão para o ETF.
Infelizmente um brasileiro perdeu 0.85 BTC com bug da velha, e péssima, Electrum. Sinto muito por ele e torço para que consiga recuperar o mais breve possível!
Mas vamos aproveitar para aprender com os erros cometidos?
• NÃO ECONOMIZE EM SEGURANÇA. Invista ao menos 1% do seu patrimônio nisso.
• Não guarde mais de 1M sats em uma hot wallet
• Não guarde muito dinheiro em um ponto único de falha
• Não use software desatualizado (Electrum no Tails)
• Verifique com cuidado toda a transação que estiver assinando
• Evite usar infraestrutura de estranhos. Tenha seu próprio fullnode.
O roubo não teria acontecido se ao menos um desses itens tivesse sido respeitado.

Liquid Network Restoration Update
With key technical milestones completed and network operations stable, user swap functionality is now restored with semi-automated swaps for Federation members. Normal peg and balance validation will be reinstated soon.
The Liquid Network’s members appreciate the broader Bitcoin community’s support and advocacy as we work to not only provide the restoration, but also harden the network’s security structure.

Please listen to Dan Boneh (top 5 cryptographer alive today) who is known to be measured and judicious in his comments describe the probability that Bitcoin is able to transition to a post-quantum world.
Lots of opinions out there - be careful who you listen to.
INSANE!!! Bitcoin transactions can now travel over RADIO without internet or cell service!!! 🤯🤯🤯
No WiFi. No phone signal. Just radio and a network relay.
IS THIS THE FUTURE OF FINANCIAL FREEDOM?!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Bukele a résumé le problème en une phrase : « si vous ne destituez pas les juges corrompus, vous ne pouvez pas réparer le pays. Ils forment un cartel, une dictature judiciaire, et bloquent toutes les réformes pour protéger la corruption systémique qui les a installés ».
Ce n’est pas de la théorie.
C’est ce qu’il a fait au Salvador en 2021, face aux critiques de la « communauté internationale » et de l’administration Biden.
Résultat : le pays est passé de capitale mondiale des homicides à l’un des plus sûrs du continent.
Le laxisme judiciaire n’est pas de la clémence, c’est un bouclier.
Tant que les mêmes juges restent en place, les peines s’allègent, les procédures s’éternisent, les réformes meurent en appel, et le système qui les a nommés continue de tourner.
On appelle ça l’État de droit, eux appellent ça leur place.👌
