Reconstructing public keys from signatures – Key Material

Normally, with a signature scheme, you have the public key and want to know whether a given signature is valid. But what if we instead have a message and a signature, assume the signature is valid, and want to know which public key signed it? A rather delightful property if you want to attack anonymity in some proposed “everybody just uses cryptographic signatures for everything” scheme.

Saylor is wrong on this one.

First, I’m a Bitcoin developer, but before all, I’m a cypherpunk. No money in the world will make me go to any other path. By saying “we must avoid funding developers” Saylor is saying our souls are up for sale to the highest bid. Guess what, if I wanted to get rich, I would accept all job offers I get to work on Solana or Ethereum. But I don’t, so I stay poor and humble.

Second, shitcoin networks can still fund developers to develop on Bitcoin. It’s an open protocol, so anyone can do it. But by saying this, Saylor puts the good guys at a big disadvantage: we do not get paid, while the barbarians at the gate are.

Third, Saylor’s company is betting on new products (ex: DiD) on Bitcoin, so Bitcoin developers are, in lack of other words, competition for MicroStrategy.. So, Saylor is just saying “do not fund my competition”, which is, at least, dishonest.

This bug allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code as soon as a malicious PDF file is opened. This affects all Firefox users (<126) because PDF.js is used by Firefox to show PDF files, but also seriously impacts many web- and Electron-based applications that (indirectly) use PDF.js for preview functionality.

🔗 https://hrfbounties.org/


BASIC SCHEME

The recipient publishes their silent payment address, a single 32 byte public key:
X = x*G

The sender picks an input containing a public key:
I = i*G

The sender tweaks the silent payment address with the public key of their input:
X' = hash(i*X)*G + X

Since i*X == x*I (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange), the recipient can detect the payment by calculating hash(x*I)*G + X for each input key I in the blockchain and seeing if it matches an output in the corresponding transaction.

Well, I'm been doing submarine swaps way before Aqua 😇

https://joaobordalo.com/articles/2023/11/30/buy-tbc-with-liquid.html

Yes, the code is open source and public domain. You can do whatever you want with it.


Announcing my latest pet project, Helm Wallet.

I believe there’s a huge gap between the ease of use of Wallet of Satoshi and the self-custody of Phoenix. To minimize this gap, I created a new web app, a wallet that has the self-custody of Phoenix and is easy to use as WoS.

Helm is a Liquid wallet that uses Boltz submarine swaps to disguise itself as a Lightning wallet that even your grandma can use.

But it has a cost.

All transactions must go on the Liquid chain and also Boltz must earn something for the service they provide, so there are fees to be paid:

- The minimum cost for sending a payment is around 200 sats;
- The average cost for sending **or receiving** a payment is around 400 sats plus 0.1% of the amount;
- Transactions between Helm wallets don’t pay Boltz fees but can take up to 1 minute to complete;
- Amounts are limited between 1.000 and 25.000.000 sats.

You can try it (testnet if you want) on https://helm-wallet.pages.dev/

Code is available at https://github.com/bordalix/helm-wallet

The web app is completely independent, no server required. You can clone it, build it and run it from your own computer. Everything runs on the browser.

Critics and suggestions are welcome.

Finney Freedom Prize - Human Rights Foundation

*The Rare Sat Lie*

Let's start with some facts.

You cannot own a satoshi (sat). You can only own a utxo, who's value is measured in sats. Just like you cannot own a "kilogram" but you can own something which weights a kilogram.

The idea that a sat can be rare is a lie, since sats don't exist.

A utxo also cannot be sold, because as soon as it is spent, a completely new utxo is created, and the creation of this new utxo makes the previous utxo (which you wanted to sell) spent. To act of spending "an unspent transaction output" (UTXO) transforms it into something fundamentally different, a "spent transaction output" (STXO) and creates a new UTXO.

The idea that a utxo can be sold is a lie, since even utxos cannot be sold.

The idea that a rare sat from a "special" utxo can be bought is thus a double lie.

*Rare Sat Sophistry*

The conmen, the useful idiots and the otherwise honest but contrarian pundits will rationalize the spreading of the "Rare Sat Lie" with sophistry and appeals to libertarian morality such as "it's a free market, people can believe whatever they want and waste their money however they wish".

Of course, this line of reasoning is meant to create strawmen arguments so that every person that is righteously indignated at the spreading of these lies can be painted as being opposed to the concept of individual freedon itself, which immediately places the TruthSeeker's outrage outside of the Overton Window (and subject to ridicule).

Let us dispell the strawman argument.

The "market" (a small niche of degenerate gamblers) can want whatever it wants, yes. But it till cannot change the reality that individual satoshis (sats) do not exist as "things" or virtual objects. This reality is not subjective.

The sophists will also rationalize that "it cannot be stopped" and thus all you can do is "cry harder" (ironic eh?) and that any and all attempts to combat the lies are futile (at best) or stupid.

It may be true all the truthseeker can do is cry and shout, but it is also true that to combat the spreading of such lies is a virtuous and noble pursuit. And it is also true that the direct result of the shouting can be to save a victim from otherwise being conned. Which is, we would all agree I hope, a moral good, if not a moral imperative.

People are free to spread the lie that such things ("rare" "sats") are real, and fraudulently sell utxos of low value presented as "rare" "sats" for utxos of higher value, but to do so by exploiting the ignorance of people and confusion around the complex technology of Bitcoin is evil according to nearly almost moral code that ancient and modern civilizations have produced.

I am the last person that would deny someone the right to be evil. But I believe if you see a fraud and you don't call out the fraud then you too are a fraud.

So, the strawman is really just straw.

*The Rare Sat Con*

Beyond it being morally bad to spread lies generally, the spreading of the lie also occurs within the context of textbook confidence trick.

Confidence tricks involve :

- the mark: the victims whose money is to be acquired fraudulently
- the roper: reels in the mark via exposure and marketing, peaking the curiosity of the mark (i.e. a conference or media organization)
- the inside man: provides a venue for the con to take place, or supplies goods and services used in the context of the scam (a mining pool or a marketplace)
- the conman: gains the confidence of the mark extracts the money (the seller of a rare sat)
- the convincer: an acolyte of the conman which gives a taste of the profits to the mark either by investing in the mark, or showing off his profits to the mark (a fellow rare sat trader)

The conman and the convincer can interchange roles. For example, conmen and convincers can publicly con each other repeatedly and alternatively, with gains and losses which compensate, with the tacit understanding that the goal is really to gain the confidence of a mark from which both convincer and conman can extract money from.

Everyone except benefits in this zero sum game, except obviously the mark.

In the end, the mark was never forced to give up his money. He willingly parted ways with his funds, deceived by the confidence trick.

Selling "rare sats" for utxos of higher sat value is without doubt a confidence trick.

I will let it up to your imagination who you think plays which role in the rare sat con.


Happy Halving Day 🥳 https://image.nostr.build/bc93702e41a1e70761ecaf663545ba3d5e50ac9f422c15b1c04c69d1879377c2.jpg

Hi Gabi,

Your video is too large, with 400 MB.

I made a compressed version of it with 80 MB (below) and it seems good enough. That's 20% of the original size.

By using smaller video files you will spare bandwidth for you and your viewers. To achieve it, check your camera quality settings.

Great song btw.

Analyzing the 2013 Bitcoin fork | 21ideas

On March 11, 2013, Bitcoin experienced a technical crisis. Versions 0.7 and 0.8 of the software diverged from each other in behavior due to a bug, causing the block chain to “fork” into two. Considering how catastrophic a hard fork can be, the crisis was resolved quickly with remarkably little damage owing to the exemplary competence of the developers in charge.

BitVM - Smarter Bitcoin Contracts | BitVM

BitVM is a computing paradigm to express Turing-complete Bitcoin contracts. This requires no changes to the network’s consensus rules. Rather than executing computations on Bitcoin, they are merely verified, similarly to optimistic rollups. A prover makes a claim that a given function evaluates for some particular inputs to some specific output. If that claim is false, then the verifier can perform a succinct fraud proof and punish the prover. Using this mechanism, any computable function can be...
