In May this year, Bitcoin Core contributors Gleb Naumenko and Antoine Riard proposed the use of Fidelity Bonds for LN Routing to prevent channel jamming, a type of denial-of-service (DOS) attack that can occur on the Lightning Network. Channel jamming, first described in 2015 by Rusty Russell, usually describes a scenario in which an attacker sends a payment to themselves through a series of routing nodes and then stops responding. However, channel jamming can also occur when a laggy receiver node does not complete a payment. As a consequence, the funds are locked in a routing channel until the payment times out, leaving them unavailable for other payments on the network. originally posted at

Kessler Syndrome Unfolding? Earth’s Orbit May Already Be Past the Point of No Return

The growing clutter of space debris in Earth’s orbit is raising alarm bells among experts who warn of a potential chain reaction of collisions known as Kessler Syndrome. This hypothetical scenario, first proposed by astrophysicist Donald Kessler in 1978, envisions a cascading effect where debris from one collision triggers subsequent impacts, creating an impenetrable cloud of space junk that could paralyze satellite operations and space exploration for decades—or longer. originally posted at

OpenAI reportedly plans to launch an AI agent early next year

OpenAI is gearing up to release its first autonomous agent.

OpenAI is preparing to release an autonomous AI agent that can control computers and perform tasks independently, code-named “Operator.” The company plans to debut it as a research preview and developer tool in January, according to Bloomberg. This move intensifies the competition among tech giants developing AI agents: Anthropic recently introduced its “computer use” capability, while Google is reportedly preparing its own version for a December release. The timing of Operator’s eventual consumer release remains under wraps, but its development signals a pivotal shift toward AI systems that can actively engage with computer interfaces rather than just process text and images. originally posted at
