@Peter Todd Did you deliberately take down full-rbf1.btc.petertodd.net and full-rbf4.btc.petertodd.net? ``` 2023-12-02T19:40:14Z connect() to 217.199.103.141:8333 failed after wait: No route to host (113) 2023-12-02T19:41:14Z connect() to 185.254.198.243:8333 failed after wait: Connection refused (111) ``` 4 was gone before my log rotation, and 1 disappeared on Nov 14. Should I delete them from my conf? What about 2 and 3?

Just read the disclosure of a severe vulnerability in libbitcoin's `bx` tool that limits seed entropy to 32 bits. Got me wondering about security of various multi/threshold signature wallets. Traditional OP_CHECKMULTISIG adds one bit of entropy for each extra signer, given that the individual pubkeys are disclosed. A 2of2 multisig would be 33 bits of entropy and also easily identifiable as vulnerable once a spending tx is published. But using taproot and musig2, the individual pubkeys are not disclosed, so the number of bits is doubled for each extra sig. A 2of2 multisig would be 64 bits of entropy, and not easily identifiable as vulnerable. Amirite? @Murch @waxwing Haven't thought about musig2 this way before. It's a belts and suspenders type of thing in case entropy turns out to suck.

How do I setup NIP-57 for receiving zaps? I run LNbits on top of a Core Lightning node. I'd expect there's some LNbits extension for this, but can't find any. 10000 sats reward to the best (according to me) answer. #[0] #[1] #[2]

Thank you @Sjors Provoost for your work on It's going to be an absolute life-saver in @BTC Prague when I do a workshop on using Bitcoin Core as an air-gapped signing device. Too bad the PR didn't make it into v25.0, so I'm afraid I'll have to do the workshop on master. h > '
