BIP376: "Spending Silent Payment Outputs with PSBTs" has been published.

[Mike Schmidt @bitschmidty]

With an increasing number of discussions around the BIP54 “Consensus Cleanup” soft fork proposal, I helped put together an information site about BIP54.

“Bitcoin has four known vulnerabilities that have gone unfixed for 15 years. BIP54, "Consensus Cleanup", proposes four narrowly-scoped changes to address these issues in Bitcoin's consensus rules that date back to the original version of Bitcoin in 2009.”

Silent payments is not just a new approach to static payment codes. It's the first serious contender to improve the address derivation system since HD wallets in 2013. HD wallets were a big win over single keys, and silent payments could be a similar leap forward.

Exploits Replay: Nymius presents on a scanning problem with Silent Payment BIP352 that was discovered 6mo ago and his thoughts on how to discover these kinds of vulnerabilities earlier at @btcplusplus exploits edition in Florianopolis, Brazil this past Feb 🇧🇷#btcpp

Wie könnten wir #Bitcoin quantensicher machen, wie schwer ist das und was bräuchte es dafür? In unserem Quantengipfel fassen wir den aktuellen Stand mit @n1ckler und @murchandamus zusammen. Doch hört am besten selbst!

Today we’re publishing Brink's 2025 Engineering Impact Report covering the work of the eight Bitcoin Core engineers we funded last year and why we think this work is important.

@robin_linus Nice. That reminds me of a similar testnet tx (without the hashing in the redeem script though): https://t.co/peBbiFi5FN

Binaries are available here: https://t.co/5yrfcKk6ri

[Michael Ford @fanquake]

An impementation of BIP 54 "Consensus Cleanup" has been merged by @ajtowns into Bitcoin Inquisition: https://t.co/7LlZk1s4Pr. @darosior continues to push this important work forward.

[Murch @murchandamus]

New BIP number assignment:
BIP445: FROST Signing Protocol for BIP340 Signatures

[Murch @murchandamus]

Thanks @glozow for driving the package relay project for five years and to a good conclusion. Bitcoin users and especially Lightning Network users owe you a lot for your hard and admirable work.

[Sivaram @siv2r]

I've opened a pull request for the FROST Signing BIP, aiming to standardize FROST signing for the Bitcoin ecosystem.

If you've reviewed BIP327, this should feel very familiar. Would love to hear the community's feedback!

Fuzzamoto is a fuzz testing tool for Bitcoin full nodes. For the last year, Niklas Gögge (@dergoegge) has been building Fuzzamoto with the goal of:

“an external testing suite that gets as close as possible to taking production binaries as input and producing bugs as output”...

[Sebastian 🟩🥕 @theStack]

@OpenSats Nice, congrats @andrew_s_toth 🎉

[Chaincode Labs @ChaincodeLabs]
