Bitcoin Optech is planning to hold a third Schnorr and Taproot seminar workshop in London on February 5th 2020. This will cover the same material as the previous two Schnorr/Taproot workshops, which is available on this website for home study. In 2010, the first known commercial transaction using bitcoin occurred when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two Papa John's pizzas for ₿10,000 from Jeremy Sturdivant. The first allows Short Channel Identifier (SCID) aliases which can improve privacy and also allow referencing a channel even when its txid is unstable (i.e., before its deposit transaction has received a reliable number of confirmations). In a message to staff in January 2019, Zhao asked other departments to help the compliance team run background checks due to an "overwhelming" number of new users. Also included are a number of simplifications over the existing LN gossip protocol, which is used to advertise the existence of public channels for routing. Andrew Chow gives an additional reason for the behavior, noting that certain malleability concerns are also mitigated by this approach. The reason given in the pull request for the change is to simplify message parsing. The onion message protocol doesn’t require a node which relays an onion message to track any information about that message after relay, so it can’t automatically send a reply back along the path the original message took.
The peer must also support witness transaction identifier (wtxid) relay, because sketches for transaction reconciliation are based on the transaction wtxids. Bitcoin does not support BLS signatures and a soft fork would be required to add them, but Fournier links to a paper he co-authored that describes how information can be securely extracted from a BLS signature and used with Bitcoin-compatible signature adaptors without any changes to Bitcoin. 24304 adds a new demo bitcoin-chainstate executable that can be passed a Bitcoin Core data directory and a block, which it will validate and add to the data directory. A limit order is an order with a specific "limit price," which means that Bincance will only execute it once the market price reaches the price you set or better. 1269 assigns BIP326 to a recommendation that taproot transactions set an nSequence value even when it’s not needed for a contract protocol in order to improve privacy when BIP68 consensus-enforced nSequence values are needed. If a crashed node remains shutdown for too long, it’s possible for an attacker to steal from it if they previously opened a channel with that node. Still, for many end users, it’s fine to trade off slightly slower speed for much improved priva

It is much simpler than ECDSA, even. 23202 extends the psbtbumpfee RPC with the ability to create a PSBT that fee bumps a transaction even if some or all of the inputs to the transaction don’t belong to the wallet. 7122 adds support to lncli for processing binary PSBT files. This makes it especially difficult if you’re creating a change output that belongs to you, because the change output, of course, goes to a freshly generated address, and if you’re just seeing money go to a freshly generated address, you do not know whether that’s your address or whether somebody may have tampered with your PSBT and is sending the remainder of your transaction to their own address. For example, in 2012, Mt. Gox froze accounts of users who deposited bitcoins that were known to have just been stolen. For example, the policy or(and(older(21), pk(B)), thresh(2, pk(A), pk(B))) has two spending paths: https://youtu.be/yhysj_xoVHs it can always be spent when both A and B sign, or after 21 blocks when just B

Checking just two characters at a time would guarantee detection of any single-character mistake in a recovery code and provide 99.9% protection against other substitution errors. When choosing between two available satisfactions, why should the one that involves fewer signatures, rather than the one which results in a smaller script, be preferred? Third parties attempting to malleate a transaction (i.e. without access to private keys) can remove signatures, but not create new ones. "Do one thing well". Riard proposes that each forwarding node should only accept the relay instructions if they include one or more credential tokens that were previously issued by that forwarding node. This week’s newsletter describes a proposal to mitigate LN jamming attacks using reputation credential tokens. This week’s newsletter notes a change to Bitcoin Core’s consensus logic and announces a new feature on the Optech website for tracking technology adoption between different wallets and services. On the second day of the war, Ukraine’s digital transformation minister Mykhailo Fedorov reportedly asked his deputy to set up official government wallets that could accept payments in cryptocurrency. Additionally, bloom filter support was never updated for checking the contents of the new witness field after segwit was activated, making it less useful than it could be for segwit wallets.
