Beyond his family no one has any business being mad about the affairs.
Dude is literally one of the best entrepreneurs in the history of humanity, does not seem the affairs impacted his work.

458 & 460 especially interesting and needed
BIPs 458, 459, and 460 have been published:
• BIP458: Half-Aggregation of BIP 340 Signatures
github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob…
• BIP459: DahLIAS fully aggregated signatures for secp256k1
github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob…
• BIP460: CISA for Taproot Key Path Spends

Stratum V2 makes more money for the pool.
The reason we have empty blocks, is because after you learn of a valid block, you start mining am empty block, as in the time it takes to send blocks over the network(+validation), you can hit a block, but you don't know what TXs to add so you leave money on the table.
With the template construction happening before, the number of empty blocks should lower significantly and thus increase their profit.
So she did not really steal information as much as she paid nvidia 7B to get access to China to nvidia compute?
So Jensen got 7B to clap the "spy"?
Waaat?

Not a problem, but I doubt anyone would have expected we get 39 rounds today.
SHA-256 is not broken, but its security margin lost 1 more round this year:
Last week I found a collision attack on reduced 39-round that improves prior art by over 30 bits and the first differential attack on that round better than generic search on @yukonresearch Hashsmash board.
The attack rests on the same method as prior art ePrint 2026/1120 with new insights that first 2 state words could remain free, allowing a critical condition at step 16 rebuilt as a claw-search problem rather than a probabilistic filter. Took days of watching SAT logs, burning cores and arguing with Claude on what's possible to get a result close to generic search.
Since my initial submission, other hashsmash participants sraiw, @cyberaxe, @privacymage, @lamb356_ and @geeknik pushed it down by over 6.5 bits, currently estimated at 118.15 bits. The tree of submissions is hard to follow, so I put the construction, insights and numbers into a blog and am working on detailed technical report.
It's fascinating to see an initial structural observation develop into an improvement in the reduced-round collision frontier within days. AI is now a real aid in cryptanalysis and open collaboration speeds it up.
nvk is blocking anyone that disagrees with him, and does not allow commenting on any coinkite or personal accounts.
And to think there are people who still say you should use coldcard.
Had a blast at @bitcoinconfams.
Supper happy that I managed to widen the scope of my research in the talk.
Thanks for having me :*:*
Can't wait to get Jensened on this app.
So I built something. It’s called Bitcoin Boyfriend and it's live. bitcoinboyfriend.io
Fucking a

On this day 18 years ago Satoshi registered the Bitcoin project on SourceForge
The project binaries and source code would live here for almost 3 years.
In December 2010 Bitcoin moved to Github, where it has been since then.
This is a crazy level of derangement and lack of self-awareness.
Nvm that he does not allow commenting on any of his accounts now.
Out of all the people who should have checked the code.
