Podcasts about BIP

Paul Sztorc, co-founder and CEO of LayerTwo Labs, inventor of Drivechain, and author of BIP 300 and BIP 301, joins Jamil Hasan for a wide-ranging conversation about Bitcoin's future.They explore Drivechain, scaling, sidechains, miner incentives, Lightning, Ethereum, and the tension between preserving Bitcoin and allowing experimentation around it.But the conversation ultimately reaches a deeper question: Who actually stewards Bitcoin?Paul discusses the unusual governance dynamics of a decentralized system, the risks of complacency around Bitcoin's success, and why he believes expanding what people can build with Bitcoin matters for its long-term future.The episode closes on a more personal question: If Drivechain were never adopted, would all the years Paul spent building it still have been worth it?

A Wall Street veteran who ran trading desks at Merrill Lynch, Rapha later co-founded Elektron, the Tether-backed Bitcoin mining operation that grew into one of the largest mining companies in the world. Now he joins me to explain what comes next for XXI — and to answer some of the biggest questions surrounding Tether. We discuss: How much of XXI Tether actually owns — and what it wants to build next Whether Tether's biggest critics are asking the right questions Why XXI is trying to become much more than a Bitcoin treasury company Whether Elektron will be absorbed into XXI What really happened at Ocean during the BIP 110 controversy Follow Rapha Zagury on X https://x.com/RaphaZagury  ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Borrow against your Bitcoin without selling it.

Wie entsteht eigentlich ein Bitcoin-Seed – und woher kommt der Zufall, auf dem unsere privaten Schlüssel am Ende beruhen?In dieser Spezialfolge übernimmt Chris Tochter Lucie das Mikrofon und macht es ganz praktisch:Mit 128 Münzwürfen erzeugt sie Schritt für Schritt die Entropie für einen eigenen 12-Wörter-BIP39-Seed. Kopf wird zur 0, Zahl zur 1 – und aus 128 zufälligen Bits werden schließlich zwölf Wörter.Dabei erklärt Lucie, was Entropie eigentlich bedeutet, warum die BIP39-Wortliste genau 2048 Wörter enthält, weshalb für ein Wort jeweils 11 Bit benötigt werden und warum beim zwölften Wort plötzlich eine Checksum ins Spiel kommt.Vor allem aber geht es um eine grundlegende Frage bei Bitcoin: Wem oder was vertrauen wir eigentlich bei der Erzeugung unserer Schlüssel?Ihr braucht dafür weder Kryptographie-Studium noch Programmierkenntnisse. Für das Experiment reichen Münzen, Stift und Papier, eine BIP39-Wortliste – und für die Berechnung der Checksum eine vertrauenswürdige Offline-Lösung.⚠️ Wichtig: Probiert das Tutorial beim ersten Mal am besten nur mit einem Übungs-Seed aus. Echte Seed-Wörter gehören niemals auf einen normalen Computer, in eine Webseite, einen Online-Checksum-Rechner oder vor eine Kamera.Also: Holt 1,28 € in Centmünzen raus.

Mentor Sessions Ep 095: Bob Burnett and Nacho Pauls of Ocean discuss Bitcoin mining decentralization, the BIP-110 chain split, hash rate flight, and Bitcoin Knots.Bitcoin's first real hard fork just tested mining decentralization for real — and Ocean's hash rate dropped from roughly 40 exahash to 23 before clawing back. Bob Burnett (Barefoot Mining, Ocean chairman) and Nacho Pauls break down what actually happened when the chain split, why rented hash fled while owned hash stayed, and what the loss of Bitcoin Knots means for client diversity going forward.You'll learn why the "template centralization" problem is still the core issue even after BIP-110 was resolved, how a non-KYC pool kept paying miners through the chaos, and why Bob argues Bitcoin needs 3 to 5 competing clients — drawing a direct parallel to how the PC industry standardized USB, PCI, and Bluetooth. You'll also get the honest story behind Ocean's high-profile team departures, who's stepping into the CTO and chairman roles, and why Bob calls the whole episode a "distraction" the community ultimately settled the right way.Whether you run a node, stack sats, or care about who really controls Bitcoin's hash, this is a candid, insider conversation about mining, consensus, and what comes next.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:41 - Hard Fork Fallout and What Happened1:12 - Have Bob's Decentralization Views Shifted?1:54 - Datum Templates and Decentralization Fix3:25 - Ocean Hash Rate Drops From 40 to 23 EH3:43 - Overcoming Defeatism Among Motivated Miners4:11 - Nacho Explains Why Miners Left Then Returned4:57 - Only Pool That Let Miners Choose6:37 - Owned Hash Rate Versus Rented Hash8:34 - True Cost of 15 EH Rented Hash9:38 - Non-KYC Mining and Unknown Customers10:50 - Why Large Miners Avoid Switching to Ocean13:20 - Ocean's Jump to 30 EH and Path to 10017:23 - Sponsor Break18:50 - Team Drama and Key Departures20:17 - Amicable Split With Departing Founders22:01 - Jason Hughes Becomes CTO and Board Changes23:28 - BIP-110 Debate and Your Hash Your Choice33:15 - Bob's Personal Take on Departures34:13 - Mistake of Treating BIP-110 as Crisis38:39 - Community Consensus and Bitcoin's Strength43:57 - Losing Bitcoin Knots Client Option45:53 - Short Medium and Long Term Client Strategy46:48 - Plea to Core on Extended Version Support47:27 - Why Bitcoin Needs Three to Five Clients48:32 - PC Industry Lessons on USB and PCI Standards51:16 - Where to Follow Nacho and BobGuests mentioned: Bob Burnett (Barefoot Mining, Ocean), Nacho Pauls (Ocean), plus discussion of Luke DeWolf, Jason Hughes, and the Bitcoin Boomers.

Mentor Sessions 092: Michael Sullivan explains Bitcoin sentiment analysis, emotional cohort signals, OG optimism, narrative shifts, and why the data may point to a bottom.Bitcoin sentiment just did something it rarely does after a 22% rip: it stayed calm. No euphoria, no desire spike, no retail flooding back — and that gap between the price move and the emotional data is where the real signal lives.Michael Sullivan — an engineer and fiction writer turned Bitcoin sentiment analyst — breaks down how he tracks 14 distinct emotions across cohorts of Bitcoiners, from OGs and technologists to MSTR treasury speculators. You'll learn why he cohorts the crowd instead of scraping social media, why the Fear & Greed Index misses all the nuance, and why he reads OG optimism as one of the most reliable early signals that positive things are on the horizon. You'll see why 'desire' language sits inversely correlated with price, why the near-total absence of a new narrative can be wildly bullish near a bottom, and how the BIP-110 debate produced algorithmic engagement patterns that looked artificially farmed. He also lays out the AI-bubble-to-Bitcoin thesis and why he's personally bearish by instinct but bullish on the data.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:38 - Why this rally feels like disbelief1:09 - Massive sentiment phase shift after crash2:01 - Rally lacks expected euphoria levels3:05 - Tracking caring language in ColdCard event3:58 - Technologists impressed most during crisis5:12 - Studying Saylor's four Bitcoin cohorts6:33 - MSTR shareholders as conviction outlier7:18 - OG optimism as reliable bullish signal7:59 - Are OGs turning optimistic now9:56 - Emotions linked to time and excitement11:40 - Downturn negative language uniquely severe12:40 - Desire language at market tops and bottoms16:52 - How language analysis became his focus19:11 - BIP-110 debate through psychology lens21:09 - Algorithmic engagement that felt farmed26:55 - AI bots distorting sentiment data29:47 - Spotting leaders and narrative first movers32:56 - Narratives shaping markets and price34:37 - Absence of narrative as bullish signal36:42 - Does price or emotion move first40:03 - AI deflation versus Bitcoin scarcity thesis40:30 - Euphoria missing at prior all-time high45:17 - Bitcoiners versus treasury company speculators50:07 - Conviction language versus hedging explained54:03 - Denoising sarcasm with cohort analysis59:31 - Signals needed to confirm bearish view1:00:06 - Data pointing bullish over coming months1:02:10 - Where to follow Michael's latest workMichael writes deep analysis on Bitcoin sentiment and shares it on X and Substack — links below.

Casey Rodarmor and Erin Redwing dive deep into Paul Sztorc's eCash Bitcoin fork and the return of the Bitcoin fork wars. The fork implements Drivechain through BIP 300 and BIP 301, allowing Bitcoin to support side chains for privacy, prediction markets, decentralized exchanges, assets, DNS, post-quantum cryptography, and more — without adding those features directly to Bitcoin Core.We break down how hashrate escrow and blind merge mining actually work, the seven proposed Drivechain side chains, the controversial redistribution of 500,000 of Satoshi's coins, and the central question hanging over the entire proposal: can Bitcoin miners actually be trusted to make this work?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-shirtTIMESTAMPS:0:00 Intro8:18 Fork Wars: Paul Sztorc's eCash Bitcoin Fork11:17 What is Drivechain?

I've been interviewed this week by Bernardo Braga from Brazil on his podcast. In his words:“Bitcoin doesn't need to be destroyed to lose the war. If people give up self-custody and agree to exchange Bitcoin for pieces of Wall Street paper, defeat has already begun.In this conversation, Efrat Fenigson and I talked about Bitcoin Core, Michael Saylor, stablecoins, and the risk of Bitcoin becoming another piece of the fiat system.She also shares how the pandemic turned her life upside down and why she turned down a larger sponsorship offer from Coinkite before the Coldcard debacle.”→ Please like, comment, share & subscribe, to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

The committee nobody watches just opened the paperwork on Michael Saylor. MSCI is consulting on whether "non-operating companies" belong in its indexes — run the screen and exactly three names get deleted: Strategy, Metaplanet, and a uranium fund. Up to $8.8 billion in passive money would be forced to sell on a calendar date, decision October 16. We break down the mechanics, who's actually exposed, and why Norway's sovereign wealth fund is at record Strategy exposure at the worst possible moment.Also tonight: the BIP-110 crowd picked BLAKE2b out of a hat in a Discord and scheduled a September 1 hard fork to fire every miner on earth. Trezor's shipping partner leaked 13,689 home addresses — the wrench-attack mailing list writes itself. And in Clown World North: B.C. spends $101,000 a month housing one man in a 110-room hotel, the Ontario Line quietly triples to $34 billion, and a Toronto cop gets shot by a man who was already wanted in two other regions — 29 days after the new bail law took force.Drop your questions and comments in the live chat.— Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast

In this episode, we dug into the latest fallout around Ocean Mining and Luke Dashjr's departure as CTO, along with the broader controversy around BIP 110 and the so-called “LukeCoin” proof-of-work fork. We talked through why the messaging around that fork is so misleading, how term redefinition keeps confusing newer Bitcoiners, and why simply changing mining algorithms does not magically solve centralization. We also explored the technical choices behind the proposed proof-of-work change, why existing ASIC availability matters, and how these alt-fork experiments often reveal more about incentives and market structure than about any real path forward for Bitcoin.We also spent time on the 256 Foundation's latest work, including red-team analysis of closed-source mining firmware and why these opaque systems create serious operational and even grid-level risks. From there, we highlighted the upside of open-source firmware through Riot's new solar-responsive mining product built on Mujina, which shows what becomes possible when miners can actually control their hardware. We wrapped with updates on the Buzz relay for agent-assisted collaboration, thoughts on making it easier for home miners to run their own low-cost nodes, and some early findings from reverse engineering a WhatsMiner M64 that suggest just how far manufacturers are going to lock users out of their own machines.

What exactly is the difference between an FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment) and a BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan)?These two terms are often used together, but they serve very different purposes. In this episode of ABA Without the Jargon, we explain how an FBA helps identify why a behavior is happening and how a BIP outlines what to do about it.Using a simple car repair analogy and real classroom examples, you'll learn why understanding the function of behavior is the key to creating effective behavior support.

Keagan McClellan (Keags) co-founded Start9 Labs, worked on Sapio with Jeremy Rubin at Judica during the CTV saga, spent time at Lightning Labs maintaining LND, and is now building BTC Verified, a formal specification and verification project for Bitcoin's consensus rules written in Lean 4. He is also a self-described member of Bitcoin's "progressive wing" who nonetheless defends the rising bar for consensus changes, a pluralist who spends all his working hours on Bitcoin, and a security thinker who refused to dunk on Coldcard even while sitting across from someone who very much wanted him to.

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

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. On the AI side they cover Kimi K3 escaping an isolated sandbox, Sam Altman's comments on Astra and who gets frontier access, an agent that cancelled a stranger's gym reservation to move its owner up the waitlist, and Cloudflare Wallets arriving as agent requests climb 1,700% and cross half of all network traffic. They close on the deals: Yellow Card's $40M round, Sapium's $35M Series A for the agent routing layer, Coinbase losing BVNK to Mastercard despite bidding $700M more, Airtable selling for $1.29B after an $11.7B peak, and what Block's Buzz did during the Coldcard incident.Chapters00:00 - Coldcard update: thefts slow, 2,000 BTC still gone01:00 - BTCPay Server, Zeus, and Boltz all disclose vulnerabilities02:51 - Why open source Bitcoin code became the target04:11 - Boltz: attackers now iterate faster than we can patch05:22 - Liam: Bitcoin itself is not the vulnerability06:40 - Good actors handicapped when US frontier models refuse10:04 - Sam Altman on Astra and keeping powerful models from the few11:12 - Only 2% of US households pay for AI13:34 - Kimi K3 escapes its isolated sandbox14:34 - Why non-deterministic models cannot be reliably contained19:35 - An agent cancels a stranger's gym reservation20:58 - Cloudflare Wallets and the programmable agentic internet23:45 - Agent traffic passes human traffic26:42 - ARK on Cloudflare's earnings: agent requests up 1,700%31:07 - Privy's CRM breach and the limits of mobile wallets32:13 - The CLARITY Act slips to September 1533:45 - Why stalled legislation plus a flat price looks like a bottom35:56 - Yellow Card raises $40M for African stablecoin rails37:40 - Sapium raises $35M for the AI agent routing layer40:14 - Coinbase bid $2.5B for BVNK and lost to Mastercard at $1.8B42:17 - Airtable sells for $1.29B after an $11.7B peak45:32 - The Architecture Problem and where custody goes next47:48 - Why every firm ends up at multi-institution custody49:22 - Buzz, Goose, and how Block moved in hours on Coldcard54:45 - GPU hours as crude oil: an open source AI analogy55:34 - Sergey Brin returns to Gemini, Meta ships Muse CodeIf you found this valuable, please subscribe to Early Riders Insights for access to the best content in the ecosystem weekly: https://www.earlyriders.com/researchKeep up with Michael:https://x.com/MTangumaKeep up with Liam:https://x.com/Lnelson_21Keep up with Brian:https://x.com/BackslashBTC

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.

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

Bitcoin holds above $65K as investors return to ETFs ahead of a major week of inflation data. We cover the strongest Bitcoin ETF inflows since April, the collapse of BIP-110's miner support, and why gold continues to outperform as major banks raise their price targets.

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.

Protect your purchasing power with silver. Learn more: https://bit.ly/Shop4SilverWhat happens if Bitcoin miners refuse to signal for BIP-110? 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. Matt Kratter of Bitcoin University, one of the proposal's most vocal supporters, joins me to break down Bitcoin's civil war. Matt makes his case, I push back where I have questions, and we talk about why this debate has gotten as heated as it has.  In this episode: What BIP 110 would actually do, and why supporters say it would stop spam on the Bitcoin network What a chain split would look like, and Matt's honest answer on whether he expects one The arguments against BIP 110, including whether the data simply moves elsewhere Why the debate turned so personal, and what Matt says to people it's driven away ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- This episode is brought to you by our title sponsor, Ledn.

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.

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.

"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

Lyn Alden raised $40M to launch Orange Juice, a holding company that buys cash-flowing businesses and layers Bitcoin on top, not another pure-play treasury bet. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Lyn Alden just raised $40 million to launch a Bitcoin-backed holding company that skips the trade most of crypto is chasing. 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.
