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.

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. Also ships an in-app Coldcard Mk3 seed-entropy advisory.Bitkey source/2026-08-02-0031 - 2026-08-02Block's consumer hardware wallet, routine source drop.LightningBTCPay Server v2.4.2 - 2026-08-07Actively exploited, funds already stolen. "This release contains fix of a critical vulnerability that is being actively exploited. You need to update as fast as you can." Unauthenticated remote .macaroon disclosure for LND, plus a TOTP 2FA bypass via Greenfield Basic auth. Requires NBXplorer 2.6.10. Breaking change: Basic auth disabled by default five minutes after account creation. See News item 2 for full remediation.lnd v0.21.2-beta.rc1 and v0.20.3-beta.rc1 - 2026-08-08Not security releases and not related to the BTCPay exploit. Migration/stability fixes only: KV-to-SQL payment migration edge case, channeldb migration recovery, invoice handling, data races, bounded memory on graph sync.Zeus v13.1.3 - 2026-07-27Adds LND v0.21.1-beta support for embedded and remote nodes; patches known vulnerabilities in the ws, js-yaml and markdown-it dependencies.

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 @

AOBAll aboard the vibe trainFTF with Max TQ got some holidays coming upKeonne appealNEWSBisq v1 trade protocol exploit: 11.59 BTC drained, fully reimbursed, hardening shipped in 1.10.0 (bisq.community PSA, Bisq on X, reimbursement plan on GitHub)Disclosed: 2026-05-01Bisq's v1 trade protocol had a missing validation check on taker-side input. Because maker and taker were supposed to use the same miner fee, a malicious taker could push a bad fee value through the transaction math and shrink the multisig output to 0.001 BTC while sweeping the rest into the taker's change. Attacker drained 11.59 BTC from 10 users, all on altcoin trades. Maintainer Henrik Jannsen filed a reimbursement plan on GitHub on May 3, payouts in BTC (with BSQ as optional), DAO vote scheduled around May 25. The hotfix landed as Bisq 1.10.0 on 2026-05-16 with broader hardening: trade protocol checks, network message validation, release verification, supply-chain hardening.

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOBPrime Time reminder (FTF + Week 3)Vegas coming upNEWSRoman Storm Acquittal?? - The RageRule 29 hearing in SDNY. Retrial dates floated: Oct, Nov, Jan 2027.Gov theory: running Tornado Cash was criminal, but mixers aren't illegal and it wasn't criminal at inception. Failla: so when did liability start?Gov collapsed UI and protocol. Claimed Tornado Cash itself transferred funds — user wallets as "instrumentalities."Only 15% of volume was illicit across the charged period.Failla to prosecutor: "I might argue you were doing better before you started talking."BIP-361 - LinkNew proposal from Jameson Lopp and others (submitted 14 April) to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers.Quantum computers could one day crack the cryptography Bitcoin uses today (ECDSA/Schnorr). BIP-361 forces everyone to move to new quantum-safe address types before that happens.Two phases: first, you can't send to old-style addresses. Five years later, old-style coins can't be spent at all. If you haven't moved your coins by then, they're frozen.Controversial because it means coins that don't migrate get effectively confiscated — including Satoshi's ~1M BTC and anything on lost seeds. Breaks Bitcoin's "your coins are yours forever" promise.BitMEX pushed back with a "wait and see" alternative: only freeze coins if quantum is actually proven to exist.Foundation angle: if you hold your own keys, you just migrate when new address types ship. The people at risk are exchange users, lost-seed holders, and very old wallets.Bitcoin Depot Hacked - 50.9 BTC ($3.7M) Stolen - Bitcoin Magazine / SecurityWeekPublished: Breach detected March 23, disclosed April 8-9, 2026Bitcoin Depot, the largest crypto ATM operator in the US (9,000+ machines, 47 states), lost 50.9 BTC after attackers gained control of credentials for digital asset settlement accounts. Customer data was not affected. SEC disclosure filed April 8.Talking points: Centralised custodians are honeypots. One set of credentials = nearly $4M gone. The 16-day gap between detection and disclosure is worth noting. Compare with self-custody where there is no single point of failure.Kraken Insider Extortion - Support Staff Recruited by Criminal Groups - CoinDeskPublished: April 13, 2026A criminal group is extorting Kraken after two insider incidents where support staff inappropriately accessed data from ~2,000 client accounts. No funds were at risk. Kraken warned of coordinated insider recruitment campaigns targeting crypto, gaming, and telecom firms.Talking points: Your exchange account is only as secure as the lowest-paid support worker with access to your data. This is organised, coordinated insider recruitment across multiple industries. Self-custody eliminates this counterparty risk entirely. Credit to Kraken for transparency and refusing to pay.Fake Ledger Live app on Mac App Store - Coindesk$9.5M drained from 50+ victims between 7–13 April via fake Ledger Live macOS app on Apple's App Store.Hits across BTC, ETH, Tron, Solana, XRP.
