SHIELDED MAINNET BITCOIN TRANSACTION How much did I send & where to? can't see! article & repo soon

Shielded Bitcoin: Private Transfers on Bitcoin L1

Developers just figured out a way to hide who sent bitcoin, who received it, and how much moved, without changing Bitcoin itself. This new proposed idea is not a fork around the protocol or new cryptocurrency. This is how Bitcoin was designed, a base layer people can innovate on without asking permission. On Thursday, researcher Misha Komarov and colleagues published Shielded Bitcoin, a Zcash-style shielded pool for Bitcoin’s base layer. Encrypted notes and zero-knowledge proofs ride along in ordinary Bitcoin transactions. Separate software checks that no coins are created from nothing and none are spent twice. There is no company running the pool, no sidechain, and no soft fork. Funds go in and out through cryptographic vaults Komarov has been building, called PIPEs, so no federation has to hold the bitcoin. Miners do not enforce the privacy rules. Invalid shielded data can still land in a block, indexers simply ignore it. The trade is: Bitcoin stays conservative, and the experiment lives on top of it. If it works, private transfers arrive the way most of Bitcoin’s best ideas have, not by rewriting the constitution, but by building on the settlement layer everyone already trusts.

A guy on Bitcointalk drew this in Excel in 2013 when bitcoin was $25. He never touched it again. It’s still 100% right ,let's see what it predicts... On the 13th Feb 2013 a user called dacoinminster dumps whatever price history he can find into a spreadsheet, lets Excel fit a power trendline, and writes it down: Price = 4.42 × 10⁻¹⁷ × (days since Jan 3, 2009)^5.6 He wasn’t building a theory of money. He was arguing 2011 had been the bubble and 2013 wasn’t. The line said about $27 that week. Price was $25. Nobody refit it. No “updated for this cycle.” Same two numbers for 13 and a half years. Let's take a look at how this formula predicts Bitcoin's price in the near future. Detailed explanation in first comment below and see chart as well pls. 👇👇👇

I told Opus 5.5 to find out who Satoshi was and ask him to rap the whitepaper for me. It located an old email address nobody knew about. Then a swarm of agents set up a studio for him and got a mic and everything. They even brought in pineapple jalapeno pizza. Sound up!

Facts vs feelings. 👇

As we will not see a Refund, we’ve decided to start listing again after below news. You can run your own firmware now. Bitcoiners at the @NoderunnersNET conference acknowledged future use in many ways. HSMs for signing and coinjoins Seedhammer NFC Multisig components Etc.

And let me know if it works well, or needs a bugfix! Use it in combination with Wasabi Preview: github.com/kravens/WalletWas…

Check out my custom coinjoin enabled firmware here: github.com/Coldcard/firmware…

On March 1st, 2027, the Wasabi indexer server, which provides compact filters to older versions, will be shut down.

🇪🇺 That subjects fully reserved stablecoins to fractional-reserve banking risk. If 60% of the reserves sit as deposits inside commercial banks, the stablecoin may be 100% backed on its own balance sheet, but 60% of that backing is now exposed to bank counterparty risk. We already saw the problem when USDC lost its peg during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. This is exactly the problem we faced when we tried to create a full-reserve bank. We could never get the Bank of England banking licence we needed. You can create a full-reserve stablecoin, but if regulators force the reserves back into commercial bank deposits, you put fractional-reserve banking underneath it. Full reserve stablecoin. Fractional reserve bank underneath it.

New website for the game! You can play a small demo here too. Now I want to add it to @Steam… 🕹️🏆 blitz.noderunners.network/

Personal milestone: my first change to a bitcoin BIP 🥳 A side effect of SeedSigner silent payments work The wrong spec told wallets to delete data that taproot signing needs, found by running BIP-376's test vectors through two wallet libs, embit (Python) and bwk (Rust)
