###   Releases - No Bullshit Bitcoin
[BitcoinSearch.xyz: Search Engine for Bitcoin Tech](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bitcoinsearch-xyz-search-engine-for-bitcoin-tech/) (1 min)
 Bitcoin Search v2 is a search engine developed by Bitcoin Dev Project that focuses specifically on the technical ecosystem of Bitcoin. The search engine aims to provide highly relevant results for users' specific bitcoin tech needs, and its scope is limited to just that. Users can suggest additional sources to be added to the project's repository of bitcoin tech sources.

Key features of Bitcoin Search v2 include:

* Integration with Elasticsearch for robust full-text search capabilities and complex query support
* URL-driven search state management, enabling shareable search URLs and intuitive user navigation
* A server-side proxy layer for Elasticsearch queries, which provides security by abstracting away direct access to the Elasticsearch cluster and enriching queries with necessary filters and parameters.

The project was announced in July 2024 and is available on GitHub for further development. The search engine allows users to dive deep into technical bitcoin knowledge and retrieve high signal information about bitcoin tech.

[Lightning.Pub & ShockWallet: Nostr-based Account System for Lightning](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/lightning-pub-shockwallet-nostr-based-account-system-for-lightning/) (1 min)
 Lightning.Pub is a new Nostr-based account system that aims to make running Lightning infrastructure simpler and more accessible for individuals and businesses. The system uses Nostr-based accounts for Lightning Network connections and is the foundation for ShockWallet, the first wallet to utilize this technology.

ShockWallet features multi-device sync abilities via NIP78 and allows users to connect to multiple accounts, including legacy LNURL ones, all within a single interface. It also supports node multi-sourcing and automation features.

The Lightning.Pub project is open source and welcomes community support. The developer plans to distribute it on Umbrel/Start9 appliances and integrate product sales hooks. They will also work on creating a client library for static payment codes over Nostr and Nostr-native Lightning Addresses using NIP05 handles.

For more information, you can visit the Devost page or project archives, as well as check out the GitHub repositories for both Lightning.Pub and ShockWallet.

[Nutsack v0.1: A Wallet That Lives in Nostr](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/nutsack-v0-1/)
 Nutsack is a new, experimental NIP-60/61 client for the decentralized social networking platform nostr. It allows users to have a "wallet that lives in nostr and can be accessed from any nostr client that chooses to implement it." The project is highly experimental and should be used with caution. Nutzaps, a feature of Nutsack, are opt-in and allow for faster and more secure payments on the platform. They cannot go missing and provide users with a unified balance across all their apps. Users can follow the real-time flow of NUTZAPS at nutlife.lol. The project's announcement, archive, and GitHub repository can be found at the provided links.

###   Bitcoin Optech
[Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #312](https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2024/07/19/) (6 min)
 The newsletter discusses a new protocol and various updates in Bitcoin services and client software. Firstly, it presents the ChillDKG protocol that allows secure generation of keys for FROST scriptless threshold signatures compatible with Bitcoin's schnorr signatures. Distributed key sharing, verification, encryption, authentication, and non-censorship are included in this novel approach to creating a fully generalized protocol applicable for generating FROST-based scriptless threshold signature keys.

Additionally, Pieter Wuille posted an extensive introduction to cluster linearization, which is the foundation of the cluster mempool. The overview explains various concepts and algorithms involved in its implementation, along with links to relevant Bitcoin Core pull requests.

Regarding changes to services and client software, there are several updates:
1. ZEUS v0.8.5 release supports BOLT12 offers and BIP353 with TwelveCash service integration.
2. Phoenix 2.3.1 added BOLT12 offers support, while version 2.3.3 introduced BIP353 compatibility.
3. Stack Wallet's v2.1.1 release now features RBF and CPFP fee-bumping, as well as Tor support.
4. BlueWallet v6.6.7 added the functionality to send payments to silent payment addresses.
5. Strike announced the BOLT12 Playground, a testing environment for offers across various Lightning Network implementations.
6. Ledger introduced a Python-based testing repository named Moosig for MuSig2 and BIP388 wallet policies in descriptor wallets.
7. A real-time Stratum visualization tool has been released for monitoring mining activities more efficiently.

[Phoenix Android v2.3.4: Fixes & Improvements](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/phoenix-android-v2-3-4/)
 Phoenix Wallet version 2.3.4 for Android has been released with fixes and improvements. It resolves a compatibility issue with some BOLT12 offers, enhances support for BIP-353 and BIP-21, and allows payer-key behavior to be set per contact. Invalid BIP-353 address error messages are also improved, and BIP-21 URI support now includes handling lno offer parameters. Payer-key behavior when paying an unknown offer is consistently using a random payer key. The global option for payer key in Settings > Payment options has been removed. More details can be found in the GitHub repo.

This release includes contributions from various developers (@tadeubas, @jdlcdl, and @qlrd) and community translators. Krux Installer v0.0.14 or later is required to flash Maix Cube, with a detailed installation guide available. It is essential to note that this software hasn't been formally audited yet, so users should exercise caution when using it.

###   Releases - No Bullshit Bitcoin
[Bitcoin Optech #311: Testnet4 Including PoW Difficulty Adjustment Fix](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bitcoin-optech-311/)
 The Bitcoin Optech Newsletter, published on July 12, 2024, features a summary of the Bitcoin Core PR Review Club meeting, announcements of new releases and release candidates, and noteworthy changes to popular Bitcoin infrastructure software. A significant change highlighted is the introduction of Testnet4 as a replacement for Testnet3, which also fixes difficulty adjustment and time warp bugs. The newsletter will have an audio recap discussion on Twitter Spaces with special guests Fabian Jahr and Vojtěch Strnad to discuss this update.

[Mempool Accelerator™ Is Now Live](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/mempool-accelerator-is-now-live/)
 The 311th edition of Bitcoin Optech's newsletter features a summary of a Bitcoin Core PR Review Club meeting, details about new releases and release candidates, and noteworthy changes to popular Bitcoin infrastructure projects. One significant change mentioned is the inclusion of Testnet4 with a proof-of-work (PoW) difficulty adjustment fix in the latest Bitcoin Core release candidate.

[Boltz Client v2.1.0: Liquid Rebalancing Triangle](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/boltz-client-v2-1-0/)
 The Boltz Client has been updated to implement automatic channel rebalancing through the Liquid Rebalancing Triangle feature. This allows users to maintain inbound liquidity by automatically moving funds from the Lightning Network (LN) to the Liquid sidechain and then back to the mainchain based on specified settings. The new release includes features such as initial chainswaps, automated chain swapping, standalone mode, and lower fees when using the Boltz endpoint on Liquid. It also ensures all GreenAddress (GDK) accounts are synced at startup.

###   Bitcoin Optech
[Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #311](https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2024/07/12/) (3 min)
 The Bitcoin Core PR Review Club discussed a new pull request (PR) for Testnet4, which introduces changes to replace Testnet3 and fixes difficulty adjustment and time warp bugs. Testnet4 uses a different port, messagestart, genesis block message, and deploys past soft forks from the beginning. The 20-minute exception rule in Testnet 3 allows new blocks with minimum proof-of-work difficulty, but due to a bug, the difficulty is reset instead of being temporarily lowered. The time warp fix, included in the PR, checks that the first block of a new difficulty epoch is not earlier than 2 hours before the last block of the previous epoch. Testnet4 has its own genesis block message with the hash of a recent mainnet block to ensure no pre-mining occurred.

Bitcoin Core 26.2, a maintenance version of the older release series, and LND v0.18.2-beta, a minor release to fix a bug affecting users of older btcd backend versions, were released. Notable code changes include Rust Bitcoin's addition of a new method is_standard_op_return() to validate OP\_RETURN outputs against current standardness rules and BDK's introduction of support for custom input and output sorting functions.

[Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #310 Recap Podcast](https://bitcoinops.org/en/podcast/2024/07/09/) (39 min)
 The text is a summary of Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #310, discussing various topics related to Bitcoin and its ecosystem. The first news item is the disclosure of vulnerabilities affecting Bitcoin Core versions before 0.21.0. Antoine Poinsot, a Bitcoin Core contributor, drafted the announcement of ten such vulnerabilities. These disclosures aim to help secure the Bitcoin network by avoiding security-critical bugs in Bitcoin Core and improving the public perception of Bitcoin Core as a software that needs regular updates for better security. This decision comes after a discussion among a subset of Bitcoin Core contributors about the need for a more regular and transparent process for vulnerability disclosure. The newsletter also discusses adding a BOLT11 invoice field for blinded paths, release candidates like Bitcoin Core 26.2rc1, and notable code and documentation changes in Bitcoin Core #28167, #30007, and #30200, as well as Core Lightning #7342, LND #8796, LDK #3125, BIPs #1610, and #1540.

 The latest issue of Bitcoin Optech's newsletter discusses the disclosure of 10 vulnerabilities affecting old versions of Bitcoin Core and presents a proposal for BOLT11 invoices to include blinded paths. Readers are invited to join an audio recap discussion of this newsletter with special guest Antoine Poinsot on Twitter Spaces at a specified date and time.

[Satonomics: FOSS, Bitcoin-only Alternative to Glassnode](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/satonomics-foss-on-chain-data-suite/) (1 min)
 Satonomics is a free, open-source suite of tools for computing, distributing, and displaying on-chain data for the Bitcoin network. The tool generates heterogeneous datasets that can be used for various purposes, such as network health checks, gaining insights into the current or past state of the network, or trading. The project is in early stages of development and is currently split into three parts: a parser that computes datasets from the blockchain, a small server that creates routes to access these datasets via an API, and a web app that displays the datasets in charts. The developer believes it is important for anyone to have free access to and be able to verify and visualize data from the network.

###   Bitcoin Optech
[Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #310](https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2024/07/05/) (11 min)
 The text is about the disclosure of 10 vulnerabilities affecting old versions of Bitcoin Core, specifically versions before 0.21.0. Here are brief summaries of the first five vulnerabilities:

1. Remote code execution due to bug in miniupnpc: A remote code execution vulnerability was discovered in the miniupnpc library that was used by Bitcoin Core versions before 0.11.1 for UPnP functionality. The bug could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on nodes running the affected software.
2. Node crash DoS from multiple peers with large messages: Before Bitcoin Core 0.10.1, if every peer sent a maximum-size P2P message at roughly the same time, it would force a node to allocate up to 4GB of memory, potentially causing a crash.
3. Censorship of unconfirmed transactions: Before Bitcoin Core 0.21.0, if the first peer delayed responding to a node's request for a new transaction and then sent 50,000 announcements of other transactions (possibly all bogus), it could permanently prevent the node from ever receiving the original transaction.
4. Unbound ban list CPU/memory DoS: Bitcoin Core PR #15617 added code that checked every IP address banned by the local node up to 2,500 times whenever a P2P getaddr message was received. If an attacker controlled a large number of IP addresses, each getaddr request could consume an excessive amount of CPU and memory, potentially causing a crash.
5. Netsplit from excessive time adjustment: Older versions of Bitcoin Core allowed their clocks to be skewed by an average of the time reported by the first 200 peers they connected to. A combination of two bugs could allow an attacker to skew the victim's clock more than two hours into the past, potentially causing them to ignore blocks with accurate timestamps.

The text also mentions a proposal to allow BOLT11 invoices to include blinded paths and includes regular sections about new releases and notable changes to popular Bitcoin infrastructure software.

[Npub.pro: Nostr-based Websites for Creators](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/npub-pro-launched/) (2 min)
 Npub.pro is a new tool that allows users to create personal websites using their content from the Nostr platform. The service is free, open-source, and self-hostable. Websites are created using Nostr events and open-source Ghost themes, which are published on relays and Blossom servers. Npub.pro does not host user data, but rather hosts the code to convert Nostr events into web pages. The service is still in early beta and may have some bugs and missing features. Users can choose from various themes and shareable links that look great on social media. The service is also hassle-free with no complex hosting or maintenance issues. Content lives on relays, and themes are on Nostr relays and Blossom servers. Users can self-host their site if they prefer, and the engine is open-source. The service supports SEO and interoperability with NIP-512 and NIP-136. The announcement includes a blog post, archive, website, and GitHub repo.

[Breez SDK Core v0.5.0 Released](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/breez-sdk-core-v0-5-0/)

More information can be found in the GitHub repository.

[Phoenix Wallet v2.3.1 & Phoenixd v0.2.0: BOLT12 Offers](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/phoenix-wallet-v2-3-1-phoenixd-v0-2-0/) (1 min)
 Phoenix, a mobile Bitcoin wallet using Lightning Network for payments, has added support for BOLT12. This upgrade allows users to create reusable, non-expiring payment requests and attach messages to payments.

The update includes a custom message feature (max 64 chars) and background processing limitations due to Google FCM and Tor usage. Phoenix has added a new UI for creating, listing, and managing contacts, but these contacts are currently isolated from the device's system contacts.

Regarding the server (phoenixd), updates include BOLT12 support, an optional payer note feature, and use of lightning-kmp 1.7.0-FEECREDIT-8 by pm47 in #62. These improvements aim to enhance user experience and Lightning Network functionality for the Phoenix wallet. For more information, visit the official GitHub repositories for the wallet and server.

The app will also show warning messages for non-empty vault archiving and key reuse across Keeper apps. Users can refer to a tutorial by BTC Sessions for assistance in setting up and using Bitcoin Keeper App.

[LND v0.18.1-beta: Hot Fix Release](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/lnd-v0-18-1-beta/)
 The Lightning Network Daemon (LND) released a minor hot fix addressing a bug that occurs when handling an error after attempting to broadcast transactions, but fails if the btcd backend with a version older than v0.24.2 is used. This update improves error matching from publishing transactions to prevent process failure under such circumstances.

###   LN Markets Blog
[Latest Strikes 60 - October 23rd-29th 2023](https://blog.lnmarkets.com/latest-strikes-60-october-23rd/) (9 min)
 The text discusses recent developments in the Lightning network, a second-layer solution for Bitcoin that enables faster and cheaper transactions. Matt Morehouse received a Long Term Support (LTS) developer grant from OpenSats to work on improving Lightning's security and resilience by detecting and preventing bugs and vulnerabilities. A new protocol called UMA was unveiled by Lightspark, which builds on top of LNURL-Pay and Lightning Addresses to add compliance features for use between service providers, such as exchanging information for travel rule and KYC purposes. However, there is concern that if UMA becomes widely adopted, it could lead to protocol capture by corporations and states. Additionally, a decentralized alternative to Patreon based on Lightning and Nostr was launched, which enables recurring payments using the Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) and Zapple Pay service.

[Latest Strikes 59 - October 16th-22nd 2023](https://blog.lnmarkets.com/latest-strikes-59-october-16th-22nd-2023/) (14 min)
 The text is a summary of updates and news in the Lightning Network ecosystem as of October 25, 2023. Here are the main points:

* The Taproot Assets protocol version 0.3.0 has been released on the mainnet, which brings on-chain capabilities. Lightning will be added soon.
* Strike has released new features in their wallet including a Bitrefill integration and the ability to pay 0-value invoices.
* Mash and TFTC have unveiled a new experience that allows users to add free or paid reactions to content, with paid reactions being posted anonymously.
* Relai and BitBox are integrating self-custodial Lightning wallets into their apps using the Breez SDK. This will allow users to hold their own funds and enjoy a seamless experience between on-chain and Lightning transactions.
* Zeus has released an open beta of their new wallet with an embedded Lightning node, which includes self-custodial Lightning Addresses that allow for receiving sats asynchronously to a static identifier.

[Latest Strikes 58 - October 9th-15th 2023](https://blog.lnmarkets.com/latest-strikes-58-october/) (7 min)
 The newsletter discusses a report on the state of the Lightning Network, a decentralized network for instant and low-cost Bitcoin transactions. The report highlights that the volume of transactions routed in the network is seven times the network's capacity, indicating high efficiency. However, only 12.5% of Lightning wallets are self-custodial, meaning users do not have full control over their funds, which is a concern. Lightning Network is both an alternative and a complement to using Bitcoin on-chain, with half of the transactions being below 1,000 sats, enabling novel use cases like gaming rewards and social media tipping. The report also mentions THNDR's new feature for peer-to-peer self-custodial wagering on Lightning Network games. Using hodl invoices and invoice wrapping mechanisms, users can play against each other, wager sats on the outcome, and settle the invoice with the winner, without the game developer taking custody of the funds at any time.

[Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #309](https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2024/06/28/) (8 min)
 The newsletter discusses research on estimating the feasibility of Lightning Network (LN) payments. If the payment network has limited information about a channel's balance distribution, it can still estimate the likelihood of a successful payment by considering all possible wealth distributions as equally likely, after excluding impossible ones. This method allows for calculating the probability of successful payments and helps users make informed decisions.

Additionally, the newsletter features selected Q&A from Bitcoin Stack Exchange:

1. Initial Block Download (IBD) progress is calculated using hardcoded statistics updated in each major release.
2. Progress increase per hour during synchronization refers to the percentage of the blockchain synced per hour, not an increased rate.
3. Key tweak operations can enforce x-only public keys either at every operation or only at the end; both methods have advantages and disadvantages.
4. Nunchuk, Lava, Envoy, and Xverse are mobile wallets compatible with Signet.
5. Block 409,008 has the most bitcoin-denominated fees (291.533 BTC) due to a missing change output, while block 818,087 has the most USD-denominated fees ($3,189,221.5).
6. Bitcoin Core's wallet may return inaccurate fee amounts for transactions with unaware inputs, such as payjoin transactions.
7. Historically, signature verification allowed uncompressed, compressed, and hybrid public keys.
8. Lightning Network commitment transactions can include outputs with values below the dust limit; satoshis in those outputs will be used for fees instead.

The newsletter also mentions new releases, release candidates, and updates to popular Bitcoin infrastructure projects.

 The Bitcoin Optech Podcast features Mark "Murch" Erhardt, Mike Schmidt, Jameson Lopp, and Valentine Wallace discussing newsletter #308. They begin by discussing a disclosed vulnerability affecting old versions of the Lightning Network Daemon (LND) and continued discussion on pay-to-public-key-hash (P2PKH) silent payments using Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs). The group then covers changes to services and client software, including Casa adding descriptor support, Specter-DIY v1.9.0 release, and others. They also discuss releases and release candidates, such as Bitcoin Core 26.2rc1, and notable code and documentation changes in various projects like Bitcoin Core #29325, Eclair #2867, LND #8730, LDK #3098, LDK #3078, LDK #3082, LDK #3103, and LDK #3037. The transcription for this episode will be available soon.
