Gloria Zhao, Niklas Gögge, and b10c discuss 3 recently announced Bitcoin Core vulnerabilities:
- DoS vulnerability in headers sync
- DoS vulnerability in inventory send queue
- Crash vulnerability in compact block relay
High severity:
An attacker could provide a peer with a chain of low-difficulty headers, which could be used to remotely crash the node.
Medium severity:
Increased network activity affected block and transaction propagation and dropped connections.
High severity:
An attacker could remotely crash Bitcoin Core nodes by triggering an assertion in the blocktxn message handling logic.

What is Brink up to?
We published a 23pg report on what engineers are working on in 2024 and got done in 2023.
I hope the report is informative and transparently showcases the important work Brink is funding and our engineers are executing on.
Should probably follow @laanwj

Doubtful. Too many devs havent even peeked in to see what nostr is, but theyve had their twitter accounts for a while. nostr:npub1hkuk45c6c6h3y0rks0z4wa0wyyud5ru0qy0rn9x4dgnjwrnfy46s5a432p is doing pretty good at showing nostr some love though.
I wonder if some of their more sporadic releases this summer also have anything to do with observing and comparing engagement between twitter and nostr. I know they gave a reason for it on a previous spaces but 🤷‍♂️ nostr:npub1zsu6h4pfsyt9atxv6prt64j645vlyv22jwkeh5y6mqlrxs47ex0svkk4em nostr:npub1syluunzwwmc70d85d9alzqc2jrc6pdur7xrax2vqpfxas6tljavsa46ksu what are your thoughts on this?
Carlos, do you mean the timing of the newsletter publishing?
The publication timing was mostly adjusted for the benefit of the Optech contributors.
We'll be covering Dark Skippy in Friday's Optech Newsletter. I'm guessing nostr:nprofile1qqspgwdt6s5cz9j74nxdq34a2ed26x0jx99f8tvm6zdds03ng2lvn8cprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkc2zf4ja would be happy to have you as a guest on the subsequent Recap podcast next Tuesday.

There was some resistance to worshipping Satoshi
Brink is fortunate to have received a $3.6m donation from Coinbase to our Bitcoin developer funding efforts.
100% of the no-strings-attached funds will go towards Brink engineers and their open source development work on #Bitcoin
Thank you to Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, John Hering and Fred Ehrsam for their support in making this happen!
🚀
Brink engineers were joined by Robin Linus in a video discussion about BitVM. We covered:
- Stateful Bitcoin scripts
- BitVM architecture
- Tree++
- BitVM transaction graph
- BitVM Bridges, peg-ins, and peg-outs
- Limitations & future plans
Is this what the Vaneck CEO was about to talk about before he got interrupted?

Yep. He was getting into the value of open source work in Bitcoin and VanEcks donation pledge to Brink
Cant speak for opensats but at Brink really the main factor is awareness. Awareness of the work going on, the value it brings, and the fact that we all are the ones to fund it.
Donations are made with no strings attached to these orgs. And none of these orgs dictate what the developers work on.
