Let's work together to make bitcoin payments happen

Just watched the @netflix Instadocs about the @OpenAI cyberattack on @huggingface. Super disappointing, as they went for maximum anthropomorphism of the technology and full doomer mode. I spent more than two hours with them trying to correct all their mistakes and ground this in reality, explaining that agents are technological systems, not aliens. But it looks like the drive to scare people for maximum views was too strong. Also, they didn’t mention the lack of containment and monitoring of the agents, how closed-model safeguards blocked our defensive work, or how we defended ourselves with AI using an open model. And that we still lack a lot of information and transparency, including full agent traces and that companies need to remain accountable for what their agents do. It ends up being a fun sci-fi movie though!

I’ve been a big fan of @whop as it’s empowering tens of millions of entrepreneurs and businesses worldwide to prosper. Today I’m thrilled to announce that @Lightspark now gets to help move money faster for all of them! 🤝 @cultured

We had a security breach last night related to a large scale distillation attack that impacted 1.4% of OpenCode Console users We have notified them all this morning via email. If you did not get an email you were not impacted, it was a subset of users who had external providers linked The incident is ongoing so we cannot share more details at this point but we are working with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to remediate

Announcing LayerTree: a new tree-based scaling solution for Bitcoin that permits O(1), independent of the number of users in the system: nitter.siddz.com/lightning/status/21108… A single UTXO can hold the balance of millions of users as an off-chain Merkle-sum tree. Transaction introspection techniques permit batched exit from the system in a single transaction w/o any pre-signing: layertree.tech

Block is going to aggressively deploy these into every small restaurant in America, just as they did with their other point of sale systems. It will be the first time most of these small business owners feel the deflationary impact of AI, because in many cases, it will eliminate the need for extra staff. Customers will get faster and more precise service. Many restaurants that would otherwise go out of business will stay alive, a ripple effect that disproportionately supports the working class families who depend on their success. Congratulations to @jack and @TempletonThomas from a grateful generation of foodies.

Anthropic is bringing frontier AI security scanning to open source @moneyball breaks down Anthropic's new OSS Scanner, how it compares to @spiral_xyz's @ProjectLoupe, and what it could mean for bitcoin security going forward ↓ Timestamps: 0:00 - Anthropic security scanning vs. Project Loupe 2:35 - Why Spiral plans to apply 4:23 - Should Bitcoin Core rethink vulnerability disclosure?

Kulpreet Singh (@jungly) is building p2poolv2, a decentralized mining pool. Pools are one of bitcoin’s last big points of centralization, and p2poolv2 nixes the operator entirely, letting miners coordinate peer to peer and make payouts without middlemen.

We file our findings privately. Loupe only shows up in public if a maintainer credits us, which many have: ✅ 754 commits, PRs, & release notes across 23 projects reference Loupe ✅ 610 distinct findings cited by issue number ✅ 132 merged PRs name the finding they fixed

An interesting (potential) product from Cash App - a new way to become a wholecoiner @moneyball and PBJ discuss @CashApp's plan to let users lock in today's bitcoin price and pay over time:

Patrick Dugan (@duganist) is building UTXORef so two people can bet on price and let bitcoin settle up, making it impossible for friends to pretend they never made the bet. He’s also on draft three of a paper on the capital limits of Lightning, Ark, and ZK batched liquidity.

Here's the Stable Channels Lightning Server dashboard UX 👇 built on @lightningdevkit by @benthecarman, @_tnull @Biresh_Biswas et al. (node IDs/numbers changed) Little ⓘ buttons explain Lightning jargon throughout. We hope to bring it to Umbrel ASAP when LDK Server ships!

.@PresidioBitcoin’s resident polymath and compulsive Google Docs comment dropper @_austin_f is helping champion Goose, GDK, and Buzz. With this grant, he’ll onboard bitcoin and FOSS teams, develop a self-paced GDK Builder Course, and add Buzz features like operational agents.
