Podcasts about BIP

Jeff Booth argues that Bitcoin represents a fundamentally different monetary system built around scarcity, decentralization, and a free market driven by deflation. He explains why AI-driven productivity could accelerate the breakdown of the current debt-based system, why Bitcoin's recent controversies around BIP-110, mining, and self-custody are part of its evolution, and why he believes institutional adoption is inevitable. The conversation also explores Bitcoin treasury companies, leverage, and Booth's vision for building businesses that generate cash flow and steadily move capital into Bitcoin.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 087: Simon Dixon breaks down the Coldcard hack, BIP-110 chain split fallout, node vs miner power, and Bitcoin self-custody security in 2026.PART 1: Simon Dixon & Doomberg - https://youtu.be/Q0P0X7j_kcA Over $100 million in Bitcoin vanished in the Coldcard entropy bug — and days later a chain split ended with the nodes defeated and Bitcoin more centralized than before. Simon Dixon joins Nathan to trace what really happened.This is the deep-dive follow-up to the Doomberg conversation. You'll learn why Simon now treats every incident as an attack "guilty until proven innocent," how the BIP-110 resistance became the most successful node mobilization since the block size war yet still failed to move the mining pools, and why he refuses to die on a hill that ends in an altcoin. You'll see how the Coldcard low-entropy vulnerability, Zeus, Boltz and BTCPay attacks fit one pattern, and hear a clear framework for rebuilding your self-custody with dice-rolled entropy, multisig, and active participation. Simon and Nathan also unpack developer centralization, the loss of Knots as a competing implementation, and why sovereignty is proof of work you can't outsource.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:24 - Resuming After Doomberg Discussion0:55 - Infrastructure Attacks on Coldcard and Others1:32 - BIP-110 and Resulting Chain Split1:50 - UASF and Block Size War History2:50 - Tether Fees and Scaling Debates4:02 - Barry Silbert and SegWit2x Deal4:51 - Nodes Defeating Miners in Past Wars6:02 - Role Reversal With Core Changes7:35 - Running Knots to Support Resistance8:20 - Developer Centralization Concerns Rise10:14 - BIP-110 Failure and Altcoin Stance11:39 - Knots Node Adoption Surge to 20%12:08 - Infiltration Risks and Verification12:54 - Can Node Minority Influence Miners14:19 - Consensus Changes Remain Extremely Difficult17:16 - More Centralized Yet Wiser After Events18:13 - Social Fallout Losing Ocean and Knots22:15 - Check Ego and Welcome Others Back25:21 - Stay Suspicious While Shaking Hands27:34 - Abundant Mines Mining Hosting28:29 - Coldcard Low Entropy Bug Details30:16 - Hack Impact on Bitcoin Purists31:36 - Difficulty Spending Stolen Bitcoin32:37 - Fed Recruitment via Stolen Coins33:23 - Learn Entropy and Generate Secure Keys36:03 - Assume Attack and Identify Beneficiaries37:44 - Self Custody Sovereignty Comes at Cost39:55 - Bitcoin Requires Active Participation43:37 - Coordinated Message in All Attacks45:14 - Final Advice Skepticism and Focus

De bearmarkt is overal voelbaar deze week: Samsungs stablecoin-aankondiging wordt met een pijnlijke stilte ontvangen en Strategy verkoopt opnieuw 1.690 bitcoin om Stretch richting de $100 te stutten. Ondertussen mislukt de BIP-110 fork jammerlijk — vier blokken tegenover ruim 630 op de originele chain — en stopt Luke Dashjr bij Ocean. Verder: Boltz staakt zijn diensten na aanhoudende AI-aanvallen, altcoins als Solana en Harmony One kampen met storingen en exploits, en miners als Riot sluiten miljardendeals met AI-partijen.

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. THIS IS THE TWEET Q WANTS YOU TO SEE: https://x.com/justh0dl/status/2086202393998291138AOBWhat a fucking weekKeyOS v1.3.1 now publicly availableSomething exciting to share on Friday's FTF (delayed by 2 weeks)NEWSThe Coldcard entropy catastropheSources: Coinkite technical backgrounder / The Rage, L0la L33tz / TRM Labs / coldcard.rip / cktripwire.com / Bitcoin Magazine victim surveyEXPLAINERThe largest self-custody theft on record, and it traces back to a single wrong conditional. In March 2021 a build guard checked whether Coldcard's hardware random number generator was defined rather than whether it was enabled, so seed generation silently fell back to a deterministic software PRNG. Every seed made on an affected device from that point carried roughly 40 bits of entropy on Mk2 and Mk3, and about 72 on Mk4, Mk5 and Q, instead of the intended 128. That is guessable. Someone did the maths offline, derived the addresses, checked them against the public chain, and swept everything with a balance. Somewhere between 1,400 and 1,800 bitcoin gone, depending on whose forensics you trust, with a median victim loss of one BTC. The part people keep missing: updating the firmware does not fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.ACTION FOR LISTENERSMove funds to a brand new seed BEFORE upgrading firmware (Lopp's guidance, on reports of update problems).Use high fees. If you see your own coins in the mempool, the attacker opted into RBF and you can outbid them. Window is minutes.Multisig users: consider a private mempool like Marathon's Slipstream.Keep the device; the UID may prove ownership in any recovery process.Updating does NOT fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.You are exempt only if you added 50+ fair independent private dice rolls, or used a strong unique BIP39 passphrase stored separately.BTCPay Server: unauthenticated LND macaroon theft, actively exploitedSources: BTCPay security advisory / v2.4.2 release / CoinDesk / TFTCCRITICAL FRAMING NOTE: this is ONE story, not two. The "BTCPay bug" and the "LND credential exploit" are the same event. The vulnerability is the macaroon leak. The Aug 8-9 wave of coverage is follow-up hardening, not a new incident. Do not present them separately.REMEDIATION (updating alone is NOT enough)Update to v2.4.2. Verify "2.4.2" in the footer.Update NBXplorer to 2.6.10+.Revoke and regenerate LND macaroons. Updating stops new theft but does nothing about already-stolen credentials. Deleting files is insufficient; the macaroon root signing key must be destroyed at node level. v2.4.2 does this automatically for standard Docker deployments. Custom reverse proxies, separate Tor services or port forwarding must rotate manually.Move funds out of any BTCPay-generated on-chain hot wallet and recreate it.Update LND to 0.21.1. Audit for unrecognised channel closures, unknown peers, unexplained balance changes.SIDE EFFECT WORTH FLAGGING: v2.4.2 removes public LND API access on Docker deployments, which breaks remote wallet connections such as Zeus connecting to your own BTCPay node. Intentional, no restoration timeline published.BREAKING CHANGE: Greenfield Basic authentication disabled by default five minutes after account creation (#7492). BTCPay: "We are not aware of any user impacted by this breaking change, as API Keys authentication is generally used."Boltz suspends all swaps indefinitelySources: Boltz statement / canary.boltz.exchange / The Defiant / TFTC / Bull Bitcoin statementCORRECTION TO THE COMMON FRAMING: Boltz has not shut down. It suspended swap services indefinitely. And the canary sequence runs the opposite way to the rumour: lapsed → suspended → renewed clean.The Bitcoin Red TeamSources: Calle and Rob Hamilton on Nostr/X / Bitcoin Magazine / CoinDesk / TFTC / OpenSats Red Team FundSUMMARYThis is the story that explains the other four. After the Coldcard exploit, Calle and Rob Hamilton pointed frontier AI models at the open-source Bitcoin stack and started auditing everything. In 108 hours, 25 developers scanned 501 projects and produced 7,958 findings, 1,280 of them rated high or critical, at a compute cost north of 58,000 dollars. They found the BTCPay bug's neighbours, and Boltz cited exactly this dynamic when it switched itself off. The uncomfortable symmetry is that the same capability doing the defending is what an attacker almost certainly used on Coldcard in the first place. And the bottleneck turns out not to be finding bugs, it is telling anyone: only 19.5% of the projects they scanned even have a SECURITY.md file, and only 13.1% list a security contact. The scanners move at machine speed. Responsible disclosure is still hunting around for an email address.BIP-110: the fork that mined two blocks and frozeSources: bip110monitor.com / Peter Todd code review / Aaron van Wirdum, Bitcoin Magazine / Lopp's Layman's Guide / Saylor essay / CoinDeskRELEASESBitcoin core / protocollibsecp256k1 v0.8.0 - 2026-08-03Adds a native Silent Payments (BIP-352) module directly into the crypto library nearly every self-custody wallet builds on, plus up to ~11% faster signature verification. Quietly the most consequential positive release of the fortnight: it lowers the bar for every wallet to ship reusable static receive addresses.Bitcoin Knots v29.4 - 2026-08-08Non-urgent maintenance: fixes a chainstate DB bug causing repeated large rewrites, and adds corruption-detection safeguards around BIP-110 mandatory signaling. No critical fixes. (No Bitcoin Core release in window; latest is v31.1 from 2026-07-08.)Hardware / signingColdcard Firmware 4.2.0 (Mk2/Mk3) - 2026-08-03The patch for the entropy catastrophe. Affected ranges: Mk2/Mk3 4.0.1 through 4.1.9; Mk4/Mk5 all before 5.6.0; Q all before 1.5.0Q. Companion fixes shipped the same day: 5.6.0 Mk4/Mk5, 1.5.0Q, 6.6.0X Edge, 6.6.0QX Edge Q. Updating does NOT fix an existing seed - changelog says Mk3 users "must regenerate any seeds made on earlier versions as their entropy is critically low at just ~40 bits." TAPSIGNER, OPENDIME and SATSCARD unaffected.Krux 26.08.0 - 2026-08-04Maintainer odudex is stepping down and the project may be archived. "Krux was not created by me: Jeff started it and passed it on to me, and now it is my turn to pass the torch." On succession: "Krux may be carried on by another maintainer, if a proof-of-work backed Krux contributor accepts the role. Otherwise the Krux project will be put in sunset mode and gracefully archived in a few months." Cause is hardware, not drama: "K210 chips are no longer produced, and Canaan dropped the Kendryte line entirely." Substantial release regardless: fixes a heap buffer overflow in the camera entropy module, adds stricter PSBT fee-calculation checks, replaces the Python UR stack with a faster C module, and makes Krux Installer fully offline.Frostsnap v0.3.0 - 2026-08-05FROST threshold-signing device ships reproducible/deterministic builds and "a fresh release signing key as part of an overhauled release-signing pipeline." Well timed in a fortnight where "can you verify what is running on your signer" is the whole conversation. Catch: the new key breaks in-place Android updates, so direct-APK users must uninstall, reinstall, and re-visit their threshold devices to restore.Trezor Suite v26.7.4 - 2026-08-04Lowers minimum Normal-priority fee rate to 0.2 sat/vB and ships updated Safe 7/5/3 and Model T firmware with security improvements.BitBoxApp 4.51.4 - 2026-08-07Bundles new BitBox02 firmware v9.26.5.Specter Desktop v2.1.11 - 2026-08-09Genuinely security-relevant: adds auth and CSRF protection to the HWI bridge settings, restores validation of active API tokens so revoked JWTs are rejected, and warns that Specter's auth layer does not encrypt the data folder.

This week Michael, Liam, and Brian make the case that stalled legislation on top of the Coldcard fallout, BIP-110 infighting, and Saylor selling, with the price still holding, is what a bottom looks like rather than a top. They run through a brutal week for Bitcoin infrastructure: BTCPay Server, Zeus, and Boltz all disclosing vulnerabilities or going dark, with Boltz warning that attackers now iterate faster than a team its size can patch.

It's been an absolute whirlwind in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the Canadian Bitcoiners are here to make sense of the noise.On this episode, we unpack the widening fallout from the Coldcard vulnerability, dive deep into the contentious BIP-110 proposal and the looming threat of a chain split, and break down why infrastructure providers like Boltz and Zeus had to take services offline following a wave of AI-assisted attacks. Plus, BTCPay Server urges users to upgrade, corporate treasuries like MSTR and MARA make moves on their Bitcoin stacks, and we share our thoughts on what all of this means for the future of self-custody and network security. Grab a drink, tune in, and let's get into it!#Bitcoin #BIP110 #Coldcard #CryptoNews #LightningNetwork #SelfCustody #CanadianBitcoiners————————————————————————————————SPONSORS

Bitcoin's BIP-110 soft fork briefly split the chain—but the failed Bitcoin fork may have proven the opposite of corporate capture: nobody, from Michael Saylor and BlackRock to miners and node operators, can unilaterally change Bitcoin's rules. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan and U.S. Treasury spent an estimated $87 billion defending the yen as Jamie Dimon exposed what truly supports the dollar's reserve-currency status. This episode connects Bitcoin consensus, mining centralization, self-custody, hashrate, fiscal dominance, inflation, capital flows, and the accelerating search for neutral digital money.SPONSORS

Ruim een week na de hack van de Coldcard is de rust in de bitcoinwereld nog niet teruggekeerd. Het aantal slachtoffers loopt nog op en het gestolen bedrag is de grens van honderd miljoen dollar voorbij. De oorzaak lag niet bij de gebruikers maar in de software. Door een fout in de firmware werd de seed, de reeks woorden waarmee een wallet te herstellen is, aangemaakt met een softwarematige toevalsgenerator in plaats van de hardwarematige die er hoorde te zitten. Wie zijn seed op die manier heeft laten maken, kan die door een aanvaller laten narekenen. Op de blockchain is het gevolg goed te zien. In een week verhuisde ongeveer 210.000 bitcoin uit wallets van langetermijnhouders, de grootste uitstroom sinds december 2024. Dat is geen paniekverkoop maar een verhuizing, naar nieuwe wallets, naar bewaarpartijen met een vergunning en naar bitcoin ETF's. Daarmee komt de vraag op of volledig eigen beheer nog wel de veiligste route is, of dat een spreiding tussen eigen beheer en een rekening bij een bekende partij verstandiger uitpakt. Ondertussen is er een tegenbeweging opgestaan. Het Bitcoin Red Team, een groep vrijwilligers, laat AI de opensourcesoftware rondom bitcoin nalopen op dezelfde soort fouten. In de eerste 27,5 uur legden zestien onderzoekers 4.962 meldingen vast over 390 projecten, waarvan 85 als kritiek werden aangemerkt en 635 als ernstig. Niet het bitcoinprotocol zelf is het doelwit, maar de wallets, tools en toepassingen eromheen. Dat AI de fout in de Coldcard vond in code waar jaren niemand naar had gekeken, laat zien dat dezelfde techniek beide kanten dient. Coinkite, het bedrijf achter de Coldcard, was al eerder gewezen op risico's in de eigen software en heeft dat nu in een openbaar verslag vastgelegd. De volatiliteit op de cryptomarkt is extreem laag en de bitcoinkoers schommelt al weken tussen de 63 en 65 duizend dollar. De vraag is of dat aan de vakantieperiode ligt of dat er meer aan de hand is, en of we van een bodem in deze bearmarkt mogen spreken. Tot slot BIP-110. Bij blok 961.632 begon de verplichte signaleringsperiode van dit voorstel, dat niet financiële data zoals afbeeldingen tijdelijk uit bitcointransacties wil weren. De keten splitste zich, maar de afsplitsing produceerde in acht uur twee blokken terwijl de hoofdketen er 48 bij kreeg. De steun onder miners blijft rond 2,5 procent, ver onder de drempel van 55 procent. Michael Saylor riep in een essay met 110 argumenten op het voorstel te verwerpen. Voor wie bitcoin heeft, verandert er niets. Co-hosts zijn Kim Schneider en Mauro Halve. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

Who Really Controls Bitcoin? The BIP-110 Battle for Bitcoin's FutureWho actually owns Bitcoin — and who has the power to change its rules?In this AI-generated deep dive, we explore the explosive BIP-110 controversy and the battle over what Bitcoin should ultimately be: decentralized, censorship-resistant money, or a permissionless platform where anyone can compete for block space.BIP-110 emerged in response to the growing use of Bitcoin block space by Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, Runes and other forms of arbitrary data. The proposal attempted to restrict the mechanisms used by these protocols through seven new consensus rules and was designed as a temporary soft fork.But the technical proposal quickly became something much bigger — a philosophical battle over Bitcoin's identity, governance and decentralization.In this episode, we examine:• What BIP-110 actually proposed and why it was created• How SegWit and Taproot helped enable the explosion of on-chain data• Why supporters viewed inscriptions as spam and a threat to Bitcoin's decentralization• Why opponents argued that Bitcoin must remain neutral and permissionless• The debate between sound-money purists and protocol-neutrality advocates• How a User-Activated Soft Fork (UASF) could challenge miner influence• Why Bitcoin Core developers and other major figures opposed the activation strategy• The economic risks facing miners if block-space demand changes• What a contentious chain split could mean for exchanges and wallets• Replay risk and the operational nightmare of managing two competing chains• How Bitcoin ETFs, institutional investors and sovereign holders could be affected• The potential regulatory implications of proving that Bitcoin can coordinate transaction filtering• How AI-generated content and bots could manipulate perceived social consensus• The attempted BIP-110 activation around block 961,632• Why miner support reportedly remained at only around 2.5–2.6%• How a minority chain briefly emerged before falling far behind the main chain• The false panic surrounding previously created Taproot UTXOs and the grandfathering provision• What the failed activation revealed about the balance between developers, nodes, miners and economic users• And perhaps the biggest question of all: what happens when autonomous AI agents become major users of blockchain block space?The BIP-110 episode ultimately raises a much bigger question than whether inscriptions belong on Bitcoin.Who really has the power to decide what Bitcoin is?Developers write the code.Nodes enforce the rules.Miners produce the blocks.Exchanges and institutions provide economic liquidity.And users ultimately decide which version of the network has value.As AI agents become increasingly capable of generating transactions, writing software and spending money autonomously, the next major Bitcoin governance battle may no longer be humans arguing with humans.It could be humans versus machines competing for the same scarce block space.This is the BIP-110 story — and what it may tell us about the future of Bitcoin.This episode is an AI-generated analysis and discussion based on the source material provided for the episode.

In this episode, we dug into a rough stretch for Bitcoin infrastructure and security, starting with the Coldcard entropy exploit, the messy hotfix fallout, and related concerns around BTC Pay Server and Lightning vulnerabilities. From there, we explored how AI-assisted security research is rapidly changing the landscape: open-weight frontier models and tools like Ghidra and Wireshark are making it dramatically easier to inspect code, reverse engineer binaries, and uncover weaknesses in both open and closed-source Bitcoin software. We talked through the tradeoffs between closed proprietary AI providers and more permissive open-weight models, the hardware and cost constraints of running these systems, and why this new era of AI-driven auditing is likely to expose a lot of long-hidden assumptions across the Bitcoin stack.We also spent a lot of time on Bitcoin mining: how AI-based reverse engineering is being applied to proprietary mining firmware, what that could reveal about dev fees, remote controls, and operational risk, and why open-source mining infrastructure matters more than ever. We covered the BIP 110/Ocean controversy, miner and node power dynamics, and the urgent need for better decentralized pooling options and more home miners running their own nodes. We wrapped with updates from the 256 Foundation ecosystem, including progress on Bitaxe Proto and Bonanza support, Magina ports, ideas for cheaper home mining nodes, and upcoming hands-on workshops and events for builders who want to get deeper into mining and open-source infrastructure.

Bitcoin actually split into two competing chains, and for a few minutes its latest civil war stopped being theoretical. BIP-110 put miners, nodes and Bitcoin's consensus mechanism to a real-world test, with 99.85% of hash power ultimately continuing on the Core chain. While the legacy financial system faces growing stress, Bitcoin just showed how it handles disagreement without bailouts, politicians or a central authority.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

A potential chain split, slower blocks, and a Proof-of-Work change could create two competing chains fighting for hashrate, miners, and the Bitcoin name. This video breaks down the BIP-110 hard-fork scenario and why some believe one chain could ultimately win.

BIP 110 has divided the Bitcoin community more than anything I've covered in years, and a lot of the argument has played out as people shouting past each other online.

Bitcoin is still stuck in its long sideways range, but the buyers underneath the market are getting harder to ignore. Matt covers roughly $1.2 billion in Bitcoin whale accumulation and about $750 million in U.S. spot ETF inflows this week, while also looking at continued pressure on Bitcoin miners and another delay to the CLARITY Act until at least September. The episode also covers Coinbase losing another prediction-market court fight, Coldcard losses climbing above $116 million across more than 5,200 wallets, BIP-110 continuing to struggle for miner support, and XRP weakening as regulatory clarity gets pushed further out. Bitcoin is back near $65,000 and the Fear & Greed Index has moved to neutral, but Matt remains cautious about calling a true breakout. Happy Hodling, Everyone. Hosted on Acast.

Samson Mow joins Walker to break down the escalating controversy surrounding BIP 110, Bitcoin Core, OP_RETURN, spam filtering, and the difference between node relay policy and Bitcoin's consensus rules. Samson explains why he believes BIP 110 attempts to force a rushed and contentious soft fork onto the network, lowers the threshold for future consensus changes, and could produce a short-lived minority chain with insufficient hash rate to survive. Samson also compares the emotional arguments behind BIP 110 with those used during the Blocksize War, arguing that a desirable objective does not justify a dangerous technical solution. He discusses Bitcoin's economic majority, miner signaling, the limits of node counts, the risks facing Lightning users and other network participants during a chain split, and why Bitcoin consensus must emerge slowly rather than being imposed through arbitrary deadlines. Beyond BIP 110, Samson shares his bullish outlook for Bitcoin, explains why belief in the four-year cycle may have created a self-fulfilling selloff, and argues that exhausted sellers could set the stage for God candles and Omega candles. He also discusses the inevitability of large-scale fiat money printing, the upcoming rebuild of Aqua Wallet, and JAN3's new nation-state Bitcoin adoption report and B20 country rankings.

"We need Bitcoiners to fight for Bitcoin. If no one fights for Bitcoin, Bitcoin will very soon be dead." Hodlonaut is a Bitcoin citizen journalist, the founder of the Citadel21 zine, the man behind the 2019 Lightning Torch, and the person who told the simple truth about Craig Wright and then stood in the fire for five years over it. Most recently he is the author of the Capture series, a deep investigation into how informal power over Bitcoin Core was assembled, exercised, and defended. We recorded this on August 2, 2026, in the middle of the ColdCard fallout, and the grief of that moment runs underneath the whole conversation. From there we go all the way back: how he found Bitcoin in 2013, the Pirate Bay ethos, Citadel21, and the birth of Hodlonaut and the Space Cat. We get into the Lightning Torch as a three-month experiment in trust, the Craig Wright war and how stoicism carried him through it, and then the heart of it: the Capture series, the "priesthood" narrative around Core, the OP_RETURN uncap, the DEI and "extractive" playbook used to shut down criticism, why every line of code must serve monetary sovereignty, and his return to fully supporting BIP-110. This is a conversation about the human layer of Bitcoin, and why we have to fight for it. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Have you ever had a student suddenly stop working for a favorite reward? Or wondered why a reinforcer works one day but not the next?The answer may not be the reinforcer at all. It could be a motivating operation (MO).In this episode of ABA Without the Jargon, we explain motivating operations using everyday examples like cookies after Thanksgiving dinner, Skittles at your desk, and why water tastes so much better after a hot day outside.By the end of the episode, you'll understand why motivation changes, how it affects behavior, and an easy trick to remember the difference between establishing operations (EOs) and abolishing operations (AOs).

A five-year-old firmware bug quietly turned "cold storage" into a guessing game, and roughly $88 million in Bitcoin walked out the door without anyone touching a device. Joel Comm and Travis Wright open year ten of The Bad Crypto Podcast with the Coldcard entropy flaw: a March 2021 build error routed seed generation through a predictable software fallback instead of the hardware random number generator, leaving affected seeds with about 40 bits of entropy instead of 128. Galaxy Research mapped the first sweep — 1,196 addresses drained in 41 minutes — and later waves pushed the total past 4,500 addresses. Updating the firmware does not fix a seed that was already generated. Also on this episode: BitGo CEO Mike Belshe posts a wallet holding 100 BTC and dares Anthropic's Claude to take it. Strategy sells another 1,638 Bitcoin to cover STRC preferred dividends while sitting on $10.9 billion in unrealized losses. Trump's executive orders move the federal post-quantum deadline to 2031, and BIP-361 raises the question of what happens to Satoshi's coins. Truth Social starts selling early access to the President's posts. And American Bitcoin posts a $57.2 million quarterly loss while growing its treasury to 8,002 BTC. Then the hosts swap notes on what they've been building. Travis is turning the marketing canon into installable AI skills at MRKT.NG, finished two screenplays that sat in a drawer for twenty-six years, and rebuilt his site around a news-reading audio agent and a council of nine AI advisors. Joel made a short film, wrote and produced an original song with AI, and makes the case that "slop" is a skill issue — the work is in the directing, not the prompting. Closes with a practical tutorial on building character reference sheets so your AI-generated characters stop changing faces between shots.

Important security update for anyone using a COLDCARD.There has been a serious vulnerability disclosed involving the randomness used by some COLDCARD devices when generating Bitcoin seeds.If you use a COLDCARD, I recommend moving your bitcoin to a completely new seed generated somewhere else. If you use another wallet today but you generated the seeds on a coldcard, you should also move your bitcoin.First, an important reassurance: if you followed best practices and generated your own seed using at least 50 fair, independent, private dice rolls, you are not considered at risk from this specific randomness vulnerability. Similarly, if you used a strong passphrase, that provides additional protection. And there are several COLDCARD devices and seeds that fall outside the specific affected firmware ranges.But my recommendation is simpler than trying to determine exactly which model you have, which firmware was installed years ago when you generated your seed, how many dice rolls you used, whether you remember every detail correctly, and whether further vulnerabilities may be discovered.With something as important as your bitcoin, I would rather eliminate the uncertainty than take a risk we don't need to take. If you rolled your own dice more than 50 times and have a strong passphrase, you probably have more time. If you relied on the device to produce the randomness, you need to act immediately.Either way, act decisively and with high focus. Take your time and use whichever migration option you are most comfortable and competent with. Rushing a Bitcoin transaction or improvising a security setup you don't understand can create its own risks.If you decide to migrate to another hardware wallet or an airgapped computer you understand well, here's the process:First, generate a completely new seed on an unaffected device you know is safe from bugs and is not connected to the internet.Second, carefully record and verify the new seed backup.Third, verify the wallet fingerprint and receiving address on the hardware wallet itself or the airgapped computer. Do not simply trust what your online computer or phone shows you.Fourth, send a small test transaction.Fifth, confirm that everything works and that you can access and spend from the new wallet before moving the remaining funds.And keep your old seed backup until you have fully verified that the migration is complete.If you're not comfortable setting up another self-custody wallet immediately, another option is to temporarily move the bitcoin to a reputable exchange or custodian that you already trust while you take the time to establish a new self-custody setup properly.Again, the point is not to rush. Choose the option you understand best. But do move.If you used a strong, unique BIP-39 passphrase, that provides an additional independent security barrier. If you used sufficient private dice entropy, that also protects you from this particular randomness problem. But personally, given what has been disclosed, I would still rather create a fresh seed somewhere else and remove the uncertainty entirely.One final warning: scammers will absolutely try to exploit this situation.Never give your seed words or passphrase to anyone. Never enter them into a website, chatbot, unsolicited recovery tool, or a link somebody sends you. Nobody helping you migrate needs your seed words.Don't panic. Don't ignore it either. Take your time, verify every step, and move your funds in whatever safe way you are most comfortable with.Be sure to hold on to all your devices and seeds, as they may be useful in demonstrating ownership of the coins if the hacker is caught.Also be sure to follow the latest disclosures from Coinkite to understand if your device is affected, and to follow all the latest updates on the issue. I recommend Twitter for staying up to date.

Vinny Lingham is a Bitcoin OG who pioneered gift card payments in 2012 with Gyft, served on the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, spearheaded blockchain identity verification with CIvic, and in more recent years moved on to managing risk with Praxos Capital.

MoonKing joins The Block Runner to recount entering SHIB within its first few days, watching its community form during DeFi Summer, and navigating the extreme volatility that followed. He explains how conviction, narrative, liquidity, and community participation shaped his decisions as SHIB grew. The conversation examines how meme coin culture has changed since 2020. MoonKing contrasts the longer holding periods of earlier crypto cycles with today's rapid trading environment, where launch platforms, copycat tokens, and fragmented liquidity can make sustained community growth more difficult. The discussion then turns to NAT and its thesis surrounding Bitcoin's long-term security budget. MoonKing explains why the underlying argument captured his attention, while the hosts discuss miner adoption, TAP Protocol, BIP-110, OP_RETURN, and how NAT could continue operating as Bitcoin evolves. MoonKing also shares his approach to crypto marketing: lead with a clear, provocative claim, invite disagreement, and support the message with an understandable argument. The group considers whether a more controversial framing could bring wider attention to NAT and force a substantive debate among Bitcoin supporters and critics. MoonKing holds NAT and operates paid educational subscriptions and ProudProfits.com; the hosts are active NAT advocates and have interests connected to the project and its ecosystem.

There is a massive miscommunication tearing Bitcoiners apart right now. Instead of arguing over specific code like BIP 110, I want to ask a much harder question in this solo take: Is it actually censorship to address spam? I'll explain why prioritizing financial transactions over JPEGs isn't authoritarianism, and why claiming it is destroys our ability to protect the network. We built a protocol for decentralized money, not unlimited file storage. Let's talk about what real censorship actually means.

And libsecp256k1 #1765 adds an optional BIP352 silent-payments module supporting receiver scanning from only the scan secret and spend pubkey, so the spend private key stays offline. Silent payments quietly becoming infrastructure is a good recurring beat.TO DONATE TO ROMAN'S DEFENSE FUND: https://freeromanstorm.com/donateHELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools DONATE TO THE FAMILIES ----> https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneSUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ---> https://billandkeonne.org/VALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @

Casey Rodarmor (creator of Ordinals) and Erin Redwing dive deep into the history and drama behind BIP-110, Bitcoin's controversial anti-spam filter proposal. This episode covers the origins of Bitcoin's spam debate, Luke Dashjr's decade-long anti-spam crusade, the rise of Ordinals, Inscriptions, and Runes, the Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots conflict, and a full technical breakdown of what BIP-110 actually does — and why it's doomed to fail.Get bonus content by subscribing to @hellmoneypod on X: https://x.com/hellmoneypod/creator-subscriptions/subscribeOr support the podcast by sending a BTC donation: bc1qztncp7lmcxdgude4px2vzh72p2yu2aud0eyzys ORDINALS SHIRT: https://shop.inscribing.com/products/ordinals-protocol-shirtTIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:11 Satoshi Dice and the origin of Luke Dashjr's anti-spam crusade10:20 Meta-protocols arrive: Counterparty, OmniLayer, and Tether's origins on Bitcoin11:56 The op_return byte limit history18:41 Why Ethereum failed28:51 Ordinals launch in Jan 202340:12 Insidious motivations behind anti-Ordinals backlash and the Swanfluencers53:42 What BIP-110 actually is and does1:00:43 BIP-110 signaling timeline and activation dates1:08:16 Explaining the mining difficulty adjustment problem for a minority fork1:21:00 Why BIP-110's filters are trivial to bypass (Ordinals and Runes survive regardless)1:25:33 Final thoughts: why the whole community should log off and move onTopics covered: Bitcoin history, Satoshi Dice, Luke Dashjr, Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Knots, BIP-110, Ordinals, Inscriptions, Runes, op_return limit, meta-protocols, Counterparty, OmniLayer, Tether origins, Ethereum vs Bitcoin, NFTs, crypto history, Bitcoin maximalism, soft fork vs hard fork, mining difficulty adjustment, Bitcoin spam debate, Gloria Zhao, Bitcoin Core V30, mempool, Bitcoin Cash, block reward, Bitcoin culture wars, engagement farming, Mechanic, Matthew Crowder, RGB protocol, Taproot Assets, Xverse, Stacks.

We get into teaching himself soapmaking, running a Lightning node with Alby Hub, why Bitcoiners are fiercely loyal customers, and refusing to accept dollars. Then we discuss Bitcoin as money, self custody, merchant adoption through Square, ETFs and treasury companies, Camp Nakamoto, BIP 110, personal responsibility, and why anyone with a useful skill can start earning Bitcoin.Soap Miner: https://soapminer.comSoap Miner on Nostr: https://primal.net/SoapMiner Soap Miner on X: https://x.com/soapminer1EPISODE: 210BLOCK: 959994PRICE: 1567 sats per dollarmore info on the show: https://citadeldispatch.comlearn more about me: https://odell.xyzmonitor the situation: https://citadelwire.comten31: https://ten31.xyzopensats: https://opensats.org

"Bitcoin secures over a trillion dollars in value. It has no security team." Luke de Wolf is a cybersecurity professional and author of Defending Bitcoin. Luke spent his career defending critical infrastructure, the control systems behind power grids and gas pipelines. His claim: Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized critical infrastructure, and it should be defended with the same risk-management frameworks that protect the physical world. A trillion-dollar network with no security team. And Luke is a former BIP-110 skeptic who flipped to supporting it making him a moderate who pisses off both sides. We get into the CIA triad and why availability is the whole game, people as the weakest link and the Stuxnet lesson, the real cost of running a node over time, spam as a DDoS and the hidden tax on Bitcoin, the two CVEs behind inscriptions, and the full BIP-110 fight. We discuss why he flipped, the game theory of activation, soft fork vs hard fork, the intolerant minority, and whether BIP-110 even has a failed state. This is the defender's case for Bitcoin, and the fight is happening right now. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Buchner, known for his work on decentralized identity at Proof, brings a technical and game-theoretic lens to the debate over Bitcoin's monetary focus versus attempts to restrict arbitrary data.The conversation covers narrative shifts driving spam to Bitcoin, the limits of relay policy versus consensus rules, why the house analogy fails, economic node power over basement operators, and the lack of miner or buyer support that dooms the proposal.Timestamps:01:31 — Locusts Flock to Bitcoin's Last Pasture03:32 — Core Policy Tweaks Aren't Consensus Rules08:44 — Spam Hides in Any Public Key or Hash11:12 — Spammers Adapt in a Day, Consensus Can't14:59 — BIP110 Debate Exposes Major Inconsistency20:44 — Why the House Analogy Totally Fails25:25 — Nodes Get Cheaper Even With Max Spam28:08 — Set Tolerances Assuming Worst Case30:35 — No Legal Liability for Bad Chain Data33:04 — Filter Regime Creates Government Backdoor35:13 — BIP 110 Risks Centralizing Devs Around Luke37:33 — Economic Incentives Trump 'Good Guy' Miners39:03 — Economic Nodes Outweigh Basement Node Runners43:49 — BIP 110 Has Near-Zero Economic Support48:43 — Why Game Theory Kills BIP 11055:52 — BIP 110 Fork Dies With a WhimperLinks: https://x.com/csuwildcatStephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack

Lyn Alden warns that BIP 110 is unlikely to curb spam and instead mostly rearranges non-monetary data, raising the risk of a minority fork attempt that could split the Bitcoin chain.Lyn Alden is a leading macro analyst and Bitcoiner who examines how fiscal dominance now overrides traditional monetary policy tools.She breaks down why high debt-to-GDP ratios prevent rate hikes from taming inflation, how broad money supply still expands 5-8 percent annually, the limits of semiconductor and AI valuations, and the structure of a new Bitcoin-backed permanent capital vehicle for acquiring cash-flowing businesses.Timestamps:02:14 — BIP 110 Won't Stop Spam04:56 — Bitcoin Faces August Chain Split Risk12:12 — Bitcoin in Bottom Decile of Cycle15:37 — Nothing Stops This Fiscal Train18:04 — Why Volcker Can't Work Today22:02 — Higher Rates Won't Break the System24:44 — Net Issuance Matters, Not Gross Refi27:34 — Fed Balance Sheet Stays Flattish32:56 — Broad Money Grows Despite Flat Fed36:05 — US Money Supply Growth Hits 5-8%38:51 — Fiscal Dominance: Who Wins the Money?41:50 — Why Semiconductors Print Money45:13 — Software Stocks: Value Trap or Opportunity?47:31 — AI Is the New Dot-Com Bubble52:00 — Orange Juice: Bitcoin-Backed Business Buyer57:57 — Permanent Capital Vehicle, Not a Fund59:39 — Founders Keep Equity Upside After SaleLinks:  X: https://x.com/LynAldenContactWebsite: https://www.lynalden.com/0BIP 110 debate ("motte-and-bailey" critique): https://x.com/LynAldenContact/status/2078599151043162159 Stephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack

Rather than build another pure-play Bitcoin treasury stock, Orange Juice buys cash-flowing, unglamorous businesses and layers a Bitcoin treasury on top at the parent-company level. Lyn Alden, cofounder of Orange Juice and a partner at Ego Death Capital, frames it as a countercyclical alternative to procyclical treasury companies, and she does not spare Strategy from criticism. She compares Orange Juice's structure to Berkshire Hathaway and argues Strategy let its dollar reserve fall too far, weighing in as Laura invokes Michael Saylor's 'sell a kidney' line and STRC's slide to near $85 against its $100 target. She also addresses BIP-110's inscription debate and Bitcoin's quantum computing threat, questioning whether the community's resistance to change is a strength or a liability.
