Wake up babe, there's a new filing in Tornado Cash:
Roman Storm's defense has filed to drop all criminal charges as last months sanctions reversal shows all counts of the indictment are "fatally and legally flawed".
In the sanctions reversal, the Fifth Circuit found that the software does not constitute property and cannot be owned or controlled, leaving the Government's case against Storm hardly a leg to stand on:
Much of Storm's prosecution relies on the Government's ability to prove that Storm operated a service over which he held sufficient control.
According to the defense:
If Tornado Cash is not property and cannot be owned, then it cannot be a “business” at all, let alone a “money transmitting business.”
As argued in the newly filed motion:
The Fifth Circuit "confirms that the government will never be

Judge Mellor's judgment is that Craig Wright has expressed no remorse. He has imposed a term of imprisonment for 1 year, suspended for 2 years. Costs must be paid.

In which Darosior explains quite coherently why there's not a great deal of *technical* motion on a Bitcoin soft-fork.
Seems like a fair, rational summary.

I believe folks pretending the U.S. government holding Bitcoin will be just that, and similar to the U.S. holding gold, with no other ramifications on greater involvement into the protocol, mining (sanctions) and other unforeseen ramifications, are being disingenuous.
We always should have prioritized tax treatment of Bitcoin first via Congress, which would increase adoption with more people able to spend and use Bitcoin as digital cash. If the U.S. government wants to stack, fine, but some in the bitcoin community tripping over themselves to make this happen as soon as possible, I believe, is purely for a bag pumping stunt.
It’s not smart…there are way too many risks for my comfort here!

This is a really important point to make.
The question is whether the slightly shaky foundation of lightning, as current- LN penalty- will support enough further refinement that it can be used into the future. This shakiness has made the engineering workload needed to reach safe usability, huge. And there are still big holes in it from the point of view of robustness.
But Calle is dead right that LN sets the bar way higher in decentralization, and we should only really be looking for alternatives that have that same property.

Understand this: Lightning is the only DECENTRALIZED scaling solution on the table.
Those saying Lightning is dead all push for centralized scaling. The fact is, Lightning will never cease to exist. You can't turn it off. We're a bunch of Alice's and Bob's who won't stop.

i don't understand how bitcoin reserves makes sense when they're not planning to use it for international trade
same for public companies buying bitcoin
it could be that it's a chicken and egg problem and it has to start somewhere, but if they keep seeing it as something to trade for dollars (or while at the same time punishing everyone that doesn't use dollars) it's just poorly thought out

David Bailey just posted the draft for an executive order for the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve under Trump – and it's an absolute nightmare for anyone using bitcoin as money.
First, the draft order defines Bitcoin as "a finite store-of-value asset, akin to digital gold."
As someone who has lived on Bitcoin for a fairly long time, I can say that Bitcoin is not merely a "store-of-value asset", but a money for payment and day to day purchases.
Defining Bitcoin as a "store-of-value asset" reinforces the ossification narrative (who needs to move a stonk several times in a day?) which may put developers at risk when prioritizing changes to btc to make it more usable as money (think scaling for example).
With this definition, a softfork to activate covenants may become an issue of US national security that goes against the US' definition

Moon jellyfish are native to New England, but this one was photographed at the New England Aquarium. These animals can move slowly on their own, but are mostly at the whim of the currents and tides. They use stinging tentacles to stun and capture prey that happens to float by.

You might know Maxwell's demon, but do you know Szilard's?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_in_thermodynamics_and_information_theory#Szilard's_engine
This idea, that acquiring information is somehow equivalent to a reduction of entropy, feels very resonant with proof of work.

The Treasury just answered my FOIA request for Yellen's response to Congress asking for clarity on the use of Bitcoin for terrorist financing.
According to the document, the Treasury briefed the Congressmen on the matter on February 01, 2024.
But here's the problem: the document I was sent is dated Feb 05, four days *after* the briefing took place – so it can't be the Treasury's direct response.
Thanks to hearings in Congress, we already know that Hamas' use of Bitcoin financing was blown way out of proportion. Now the Treasury is trying to hide its actual response to the Congressmen's inquiry.
I just filed an appeal for incomplete information – send sats if you want to support this work.

Announcing an early Christmas present: the release of CLN v24.11, affectionately named by the team! With over 530 commits from 28 contributors, this release brings exciting updates for payments, network performance, and developer tools. ⚡️🧵
https://blog.blockstream.com/core-lightning-v24-11-the-lightning-dev-mailing-list/
⚡️Users First⚡️
⚔️ xpay is a new experimental plugin designed to optimize payments and improve routing accuracy. Built on askrene, it learns from payment attempts, gets smarter over time, and can remember successful payment paths, retrying them automatically.
⚡️ BOLT12 is no longer an experimental feature in CLN and full support is now live, making it easier to pay and receive offers, improving privacy and usability with the broader network.
🧼 We also shipped improvements to the autoclean plugin, reducing data freeze times for large nodes and allowing for more efficient operation during high-demand periods.
⚡️Developer Tools⚡️
Tooling just got better! cln-grpc

Roger Ver deluded himself into believing that Bitcoin's success was a result of his campaign to pressure brick & mortar merchants into accepting it.
Now he has deluded himself into believing that Bitcoin Cash lost the fork wars due to government conspiracies and that if he sells enough books about the narrative then it will magically change the course of history.

This is a community note proposed to Anita's post, and I think we need to talk about it.
The past years have brought a swarm of new people into Bitcoin, and these posts and comments show how hard we failed them.
First off, to address the majority of commenters in Anita's post that also like to spam my posts with the same nonsense (and then tell me that I'm stupid because I have a vagina (?)), in the Bitcoin network, you do not get to vote for anything. Your node allows you to control the rules that your node runs by. That's it. That's all it does.
There is no voting in Bitcoin.
Second, miners run profit oriented businesses. This means that miners follow the rules adapted by the nodes with the majority of economic activity.

The capitalism young people know is about fast fashion, social media influencing, subscription bait-and-switch, data harvesting and exploitation, hidden fees, exploitative gig work, unpaid internships, student debt, housing shortages, broken healthcare, and, more recently, the AI bullshit generator. If all you know is this, you would think capitalism is the worst thing ever. No wonder everyone is pissed with the label.
The free market needs to do better or it will hinder generations to come and destroy itself little by little.

It is important to empathize with frustrated users. It's sometimes an unattainable ideal, but who hasn't hit software that Just Doesn't Work? We don't really care if it's just something about our setup, or fundamentally broken, or a completely unhelpful error message: it's an incredibly frustrating feeling of impotence.
Sure, you shouldn't take it out on the devs you aren't paying, but we're all human.
I can't speak for all developers, but I became a FOSS coder in the Linux Kernel. That gave me a pretty thick skin: Linus could be an ass, and even when he was wrong there was no appeal. So I generally find it easier to sift through the users' frustrations and try to get to the problem they are having.
https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/7180
And often it turns out, I agree! This shit should just Work Better!

A few months ago I filed a FOI Request with the UK's National Crime Agency which claimed that cryptocurrency and end-to-end encryption pose a risk to National Security.
First they ignored me, so we reported the NCA to the Information Comissioner's Office, who then denied my request for filing under a pseudonym. Today @fnew and @Bitcoin Policy UK filed a new FOI Request to obtain information on how the UK came up with their outlandish claims.
But here's the catch: we realized that the NCA is exempt from the FOIA process, and only liable to environmental requests.
Thankfully, Freddie and BTCPolicy UK have done extensive work detailing how Bitcoin can cause a positive change in reaching the UK's sustainable energy goals and further a shift toward renewables – meaning that the NCA's criminal framing of cryptocurrencies does not just impact your right to privacy, but directly

This is an interesting response to the debate, and further firms up my sense that the real problem with enacting a covenant soft fork is the lack of a *genuinely compelling* protocol proposal using it.
Don't get me wrong, there are lots of proposals, some of which are useful: vaults seems like the strongest candidate there, but they are not critical to bitcoin's survival/success (important, yes, critical, i suspect no), and congestion control is valuable but neither of these are *genuinely compelling*. Lightning was, and segwit was propelled by its existence.
To illustrate my point, if you go to utxos.org, another proposal it highlights as an example is "Bitcoin Clique". I read the paper yesterday, and the TLDR is a kind of coinpool construct that requires covenants to allow exchange of funds within the pool. It has some neat tricks (repeated trees with double spend prevention

My thoughts here are definitely unrefined, but I am sceptical of the "onchain rush solved by covenants" argument.
1. You're assuming fee volatility. I expect this to reduce over time, as regular Bitcoin usages adapt their behaviour and smooth fees
2. You're assuming wallet infrastructure which is pre-built to handle this case.
3. You're changing the deal, so the *recipient* now pays fees. If you shape things as payment trees, the tradeoff gets worse (approaching twice the weight of just paying normally, requiring that much fee volatility to make sense), and you introduce games between the recipients to figure out who pays fees.
4. You have created a novel financial instrument on fee futures, not something I accept as a "payment", as I have not received it, and you've offloaded an unknown level of costs to me to "collect" it.
5. In real bankruptcy,

I responded on Twitter too, but this is such a strange rant to me.
Bitcoin Core (contributor)’s current push for better mempool policy is *directly* related to multi-party UTXO ownership and scaling. It specifically substantially improves lighting in practice today, and will certainly be required for any future scaling technologies.
In the mean time, lots of folks (like James) continue to do research into how to scale Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies generally). There’s no reason to care if that happens from Bitcoin Core contributors or others, and we’re still really far from having any particularly good ideas on this front. As that research continues, there’s no reason for concrete software towards short-term soft-forks.

BITCOIN CORE'S LOSS OF FOCUS
The legacy technical leadership in bitcoin is becoming increasingly less effective.
--
Almost universally, Core and "graybeard" devs are not focusing on _the_ fundamental problem in bitcoin: preserving trustless UTXO ownership.
Instead they are distracted with valuable but secondary issues like mempool policy, Core code architecture, and minor IBD performance. These things are important in their own right, but they fundamentally don't matter if in times of trouble most users can't take possession of their own coins.
Core devs are exceptionally talented people. The brightest engineers. But the priorities of the project are out of whack.
The aggregate focus does not reflect the thing that makes bitcoin a unique asset: trustless custody.

In #India particularly in the state of #Meghalaya the #Khasi and #Jaintia tribes have developed a unique form of #architecture known as living #root #bridges These structures are crafted by weaving the aerial roots of the #Ficus elastica #tree across rivers and streams, utilizing #bamboo scaffolding for support during #growth This process can take 20 to 25 years, but the resulting bridges are incredibly durable and can last for centuries. The bridges are not only functional but also represent a harmonious blend of human ingenuity and #natural processes, promoting #environmental #sustainability

The taproot soft fork included schnorr signatures as already noted.
Taproot itself is the idea that an output can be unlocked (spent) *either* by providing a signature on the public key *or* by executing a Script *and* proving that the script was in a merkle tree whose root was embedded in the pubkey. One nice feature is that if you just sign on the pubkey, the outside world will never know about the (potentially thousands+) scripts that are embedded. Also note that when you use a script to spend, you won't have to expose all the others that were embedded. (See MAST for more on that part).

Someone needs to talk to Cory Doctorow…
“Bluesky lacks the one federated feature that is absolutely necessary for me to trust it: the ability to leave Bluesky and go to another host and continue to talk to the people I've entered into community with there. While there are many independently maintained servers that provide services to Bluesky and its users, there is only one Bluesky server. A federation of multiple servers, each a peer to the other, has been on Bluesky's roadmap for as long as I've been following it, but they haven't (yet) delivered it.”

Nebraskan Farmers Were Using Wind Turbines Before Environmentalism Was Invented
Many seem to forget that electric cars, windmills generating energy (whether electric or mechanical energy) are just not new ideas.
The difference is that the technology at the time was limited by what was known then. Today, we can make things work much more efficiently. With the networking of ideas, we are also able to exponentially improve what we know.
So many inventions have come about from society's need to solve challenges and problems. And yet so many ideas were violently resisted as well - remember when all cars had to be proceded by a person waving a flag, or where it was thought that steam locomotives would cause cows to stop producing milk, when we thought humans could not travel faster than they could run, when we were not made to fly, when

Does anyone know if it's even possible to build an executable for Windows using e.g. Rust (though this might apply to other langs), without buying a signing certificate, and have it runnable by users without false positive virus/trojan warnings (which, actually, make it effectively impossible for users to run).
I did a lot of searching and found a huge number of developers reporting this problem, but actually no solutions. Is it just impossible to distribute binaries as an independent developer? Is it just isolated to Rust and maybe Go etc? Or ...? Anyone experienced this and found a way round it?

For the women in this space who have had the misfortune of encountering the very few but very loud members of the machismo red pill crew, remember that people will try to control you by controlling your self concept. These people will try to define for you what “femininity” is. They will try to tell you that it is unfeminine to be a decision maker, to be a leader, etc.
Don’t ever let anyone control your self concept. You are a woman, you define what “femininity” is. Don’t ever let anyone define it for you. ✌️🧡

Aaron was creative, focused, and brilliant.
At 14, he invented RSS; He dropped out of Stanford; At 19, he was in the first Y Combinator class; He co-founded Reddit.
Most likely, if he were alive today, he would be involved with #Bitcoin
But that’s not EVEN 1% of what he did for us 🙏

Hate to be the one to shit on the Parade, but a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve *will* be built through confiscation and taxation.
Here's Senator Cynthia Lummis already hard at work to make it happen:
Cynthia Lummis teamed up with Elizabeth Warren to propose the regulation of Bitcoin under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing laws to "combat anonymous crypto asset transactions".
Cynthia Lummis also re-introduced the Responsible Financial Innovation Act "inspired by Senator Warren", which introduces higher penalties for "crypto asset crimes", regulates "mixers and tumblers", and increases KYC requirements.
For the amount of time Bitcoiners have claimed to be of peculiar intelligence, you are all getting played *incredibly* hard right now.

sure, you can ask "who will run the relays" but at least running a nostr relay is way less involved than running a mastodon instance, which requires rubygems, node.js, at least three background processes, a postgres database, tons of disk space for cached media, and has a maze of configuration and administration options, and constant critical security updates
not even talking about having to handle sometimes really absurd moderation reports (if you have active users), and the whole instance politics bs
i intend to keep the one at x0f.org running for the foreseeable future but sometimes i wonder why i bother

The French government's press release on Telegram CEO Pavel Durov is completely unhinged. It not only references complicity in CSAM, money laundering, organized crime and drug trafficking, but also seems to state that Telegram did not acquire a license to provide "cryptology services".
This is interesting because France apparently *does* have regulations which require licenses for the distribution of cryptology unless used for authentication purposes, as governed by the Code de la Defense.
[Not a lawyer, just researching my way through this hot mess.]

can anyone suggest a python #nostr package that is actively maintained? i was using python-nostr but it fails on Python 3.12 and while i submitted a PR for that, there doesn't seem any activity on the repository in the last year
my use-case is nothing complex, simply "sign one event, push it to a list of relays", no need for persistent connections or high performance

is there an implementation of the payment related NIPs (NIP-47, NIP-57) for when you run an old-school core-lightning node. and don't use (nor particularly want to use) any of the fancy LSPs?

trying to find a nostr web or desktop client that reliably displays a timeline of posts of the people i'm following; i've tried snort, iris to, but they keep showing an empty page with "show more" button and only very slowly and unreliably load posts, except trending ones, here
