\n\n\nOriginally described by Goldwasser, Micali, and Rackoff in their 1985 paper "The Knowledge Complexity Of Interactive Proof Systems", zk proofs are a type of cryptographic proof defined as "those proofs that contain no additional knowledge other than the correctness of the proposition in question".
\n\nGreg Maxwell, who wrote about "zero knowledge contingent payments" in the Bitcoin Wiki in 2011. Maxwell later worked with Sean Bowe, Pieter Wuille, and Madars Virza to implement the protocol in 2016.34 In May 2013, Miers et al published the Zerocoin paper, showing how zk proofs could be integrated directly into the bitcoin protocol to hide the addresses involved in a bitcoin transaction

How traceable are these sats from lightning (considering they come via a very identifiable Alby wallet)? And do you know many stories of people having non-KYC BTC who actually needed them? I know theoretically why non-KYC is important, but I'll be more persuaded with real life examples of where they were vital for economic freedom.

Bloomberg's James Seyffart says still a 90% chance approval by Jan 10th 2024.
\n\n\n\n\n"Okay, we're nearing in on deadline dates for 3 spot #Bitcoin ETF applications. I want to get ahead of it because there's a pretty good chance we'll see delay orders from the SEC. Delays WOULD NOT change anything about our views & 90% odds for 19b-4 approval by Jan 10, 2024
\n
\n\n\n\n\nJUST IN: @EricBalchunas of Bloomberg reports that the 🇺🇸 SEC is advising spot #Bitcoin ETF issuers that they prefer cash creations over in-kind creations for these ETFs.
\n\nCash "creates" mean the issuer would transact in cash instead of using #Bitcoin directly. The SEC prefers cash creates because broker-dealers can't directly handle Bitcoin.
\n\nThis move is seen as a positive step indicating progress in the approval process, despite the potential need for adjustments by the ETF filers.
\n
\n\n\n"CNBC host questions why the SEC hasn't approved a spot #Bitcoin ETF because Chairman Gary Gensler certainly understands Bitcoin. “He taught Bitcoin at MIT, he understands it…there has to be something else." I wonder… 🧐

What's a Bitcoin Drivechain and Why Are Devs At Odds Over Its Proposal? - Decrypt
💡 Drivechains, proposed by Paul Sztorc as BIP 300 and BIP 301, introduce native sidechains to Bitcoin, enabling additional features.
🔒 Sidechains are secured through blind merge mining, using Bitcoin's existing miners to secure other blockchains.
🛡️ Critics worry that drivechains may introduce complexity, security risks, and unwanted tokens (referred to as "shitcoins") into the Bitcoin ecosystem.
🔄 Drivechains do not require new assets; they can be used for Bitcoin-related purposes like private and scalable transactions.
⚙️ Some developers express concerns about the peg-out mechanism, which relies on users trusting 51% of Bitcoin's hashrate for an extended period.
💰 Miners are incentivized to keep drivechains active due to fee collection, but concerns remain about potential economic complications and trust issues.
🌐 Advocates believe that drivechains could enhance Bitcoin's competitiveness and eliminate the possibility of other cryptocurrencies surpassing it in the future.
As an anti-DOS, denial of service feature, they have thought a long time about solutions to spam and are now using a solution shared by bitcoin
\n\nTurns out they were overestimating things by a noteable amount. They have updated their numbers downward.
\n\nThey are still overestimating emissions by 67.6% due to emission intensity calculations that are both overestimated, and out-of-date (have not been updated since Jan 2022). This is an improvement upon the previous estimates which were out 106% (https://batcoinz.com/accurately-dynamically-calculating-bitcoin-network-emissions/)
\n\n\nNot only does Iceland run almost entirely on renewable energy, it has historically operated at a surplus. Bitcoin miners and other digital asset generators have been buying up that extra energy to power data centers across the island nation. But some environmentalists worry the exponential electricity demands of the controversial asset class will inevitably result in more power plants, which could damage Iceland’s unique ecosystems.

While publicly claiming to offer a technically sophisticated privacy service, Storm and Semenov in fact knew that they were helping hackers and fraudsters conceal the fruits of their crimes
\n
\n\n\nThe allegations include that the defendants: (a) paid for web hosting services for a user interface that allowed users to send transaction messages to the underlying smart contracts, (b) paid for a software repository (Github) where smart contract and user interface software and documentation was hosted, and (c) had (for a time before May 2020) “complete control” over the Tornado Cash smart contracts.

\n\n\nThe SEC has a total of 240 days to make a final decision on an application after it starts reviewing one. The SEC is giving the general public three weeks to weigh in on the proposal itself, and an additional five weeks to respond to those initial slate of comments.
\n
\n\n\n"In sum, the Exchange believes that this proposal is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, that this filing sufficiently demonstrates that the CME Bitcoin Futures market represents a regulated market of significant size, and that on the whole the manipulation concerns previously articulated by the Commission are sufficiently mitigated to the point that they are outweighed by investor protection issues that would be resolved by approving this proposal
\n
Bettermarkets, an anti-bitcoin advocacy group, Released a statement saying the surveillance-sharing agreements set up in proposals were "wholly inadequate."
The next decision should come on November 11 with the final day for a decision on January 10, 2024.

\n\nNewly discovered Bitcoin wallet loophole let hackers steal $900K
\n\n\nA newly discovered vulnerability in the Libbitcoin Explorer 3.x library has allowed over $900,000 to be stolen from Bitcoin users, according to a report from blockchain security firm SlowMist.
\n\nLibbitcoin is a Bitcoin wallet implementation used by various applications, including Airbitz, Bitprim, Blockchain Commons, and Cancoin. SlowMist did not specify which applications are affected by the vulnerability.
\n\nThe vulnerability, known as the “Milk Sad,” was first discovered by the cybersecurity team “Distrust” and reported to the CEV cybersecurity vulnerability database on Aug. 7. It involves a faulty key generation mechanism in the Libbitcoin Explorer, which allows attackers to guess private keys.
\n
\n\n\nIn an Aug. 9 press release, Fireblocks said the series of vulnerabilities, dubbed BitForge, are affecting wallets using multi-party computation (MPC) technology, which allows for multiple parties to control and manage cryptocurrency holdings.
\n
Bitgo, a bitcoin custodian, has expressed cautious interest in MPC wallet security while Fireblocks has embraced MPC as a cross platform universal security solution (of course FB has to since there's no native Etherium multisig)
Some market observers opined a seller placed a spoof order at $50 per XRP, which was unintendedly filled by a buyer who may have “fat-fingered” the trade.
Market depth data shows XRP liquidity on Gemini remains relatively low, with only a $37,000 order required to move prices by 2% on the exchange. In contrast, the same price move on Binance would require at least $2.2 million.

\n\n\nThere's been some moderate hype (with the inevitable price speculation/manipulation aka p'n'd) last year around a proof of work project called Kaspa. I'm not invested (yet) because I'd love first to know your opinion, my technological analysis skills are lacking. I understand all the buzz is about their GhostDAG protocol posed to solve the historical dilemma way more efficiently than Lightning and the fact that they fair launched with no premined/presold coins and no company behind the project
\n
\n\n\nKaspa is the fastest, open-source, decentralized & fully scalable Layer-1 in the world.
\n\n
\nThe world’s first blockDAG – a digital ledger enabling parallel blocks and instant transaction confirmation – built on a robust proof-of-work engine with rapid
\nsingle-second block intervals.Built by industry pioneers, led by the people.
\n
"completely open source with no central governance – following in the ethos of coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Monero."
💰 Initial funding from Polychain Capital supported Kaspa's launch, and the project forgoes allocations or premine to ensure transparency and fairness.
👥 Yonatan Sompolinsky, Michael Sutton, Shai Wyborski, Elichai Turkel, Ori Newman, and Mike Zak are key contributors and core developers of Kaspa.
Launch Date
\n\nNovember 7, 2021
\n(no premine, no allocated coins)
Uses lots of Rust, Go, and others
KAS has a circulating supply of 12.4B and maximum supply of 28.7B. It was launched with no re-mine, 0 pre-sales, and no token allocations.
It has an emission program that halves yearly through seamless monthly reductions by a factor of (1/2)1/12.
Hashing Algorithm
\n\nkHeavyHash
\n\nConsensus
\n\nProof of Work
\nBlockDAG
How they solve the Blockchain Trilemma
\n\n\n\n\nTo solve this tradeoff, Kaspa’s consensus layer uses GhostDAG, a proof-of-work consensus protocol that generalizes Nakamoto’s chain into a directed acyclic graph of blocks ( blockDAG). GhostDAG incorporates”orphan” blocks into the chain to form a blockDAG, and then uses a novel greedy algorithm to order the blocks such that well-connected, honest blocks are favored, quickly and with high probability. GhostDAG allows Kaspa to circumvent the traditional tradeoff of blockchains, improving on block rate by orders of magnitude while maintaining the theoretical security guarantees of Bitcoin.

\n\n\nIsrael's central bank adds the Chinese yuan and three other currencies to its $206 billion reserves, reducing the allocation for the dollar and the euro.
