Thank you Fran Finney, @FinneyPrize, and @HRF, this is a huge honor. And thank you @halfin, for everything you did for #bitcoin in its early years, including starting the challenge that got me interested in Bitcoin development.

RT @n1ckler: The MuSig2 🎶 module has been merged into libsecp256k1. This marks significant progress in the real-world deployment of MuSig2 as it'll be available to all existing projects using libsecp256k1 with the next release. Example usage: https://t.co/VQjBo2cnJk The module has been designed to be as safe to use as possible. We give two rules that, when followed by the implementer, prevent nonce reuse. 333 review comments since it was merged into libsecp256k1-zkp (no significant security issue was found).

RT @bitcoincoreorg: A new page has been added to the project website: https://t.co/RaR6qMlQTH. Its purpose is to document a policy in regards to disclosing security issues found & fixed in the Bitcoin Core software, as well as list past disclosures. It currently documents disclosures for versions of Bitcoin Core prior to, and including, version v0.21.0. All of these versions are End of Life (EOL) and no-longer receive any maintenance updates. The latest release of Bitcoin Core is v27.1. The 26.x and 25.x branches also both continue to receive maintenance updates. Further disclosures will be posted in the coming months. A post to the bitcoindev mailing list contains additional details: https://t.co/VyYI5eYBzP.

RT @opencryptoorg: Justice Mellor found that: 1) Dr Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper. 2) Dr Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. 3) Dr Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System. 4) Dr Wright is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software. 1/4

RT @morcosa: Thank you COPA @opencryptoorg ! Judge Mellor rules from the bench: CSW is not Satoshi. We've always known that, but it hasn't stopped untold damage to developers and other Bitcoiners. Thank you @Coinbase and @Square and everyone who supported COPA and the devs.

RT @real_or_random: We've just made signature verification in libsecp256k1 on x86_64 more than 10% faster. How? With a trivial PR that removes over 500 lines of assembly code. Compilers have improved a lot over the years. https://t.co/6eRsksgbT9 h/t @theStack for the benchmarks. https://t.co/80qvbWPRza

RT @0xB10C: My miningpool-observer project recently reported six OFAC-sanctioned transactions as missing from blocks. Four of these transactions were likely filtered by F2Pool. This is the first filtering based on OFAC sanctions I've seen. More in: https://t.co/OYouVwM2rv

RT @Daeinar: The EU is proposing highly concerning cryptography regulations: #eIDAS #Article45 would enable any EU member state to eavesdrop on and tamper with the web traffic of any EU citizen and would also severely limit the security measures that can be taken to protect the European web.
