Yesterday, we merged an important PR to @rbitcoin_org. There is now a --trust-peer option which lets you run it as a second class citizen on the bitcoin network. In this mode, it does not enforce most consensus rules (just enough to make the block structure fit the data store mostly). If you're currently running bitcoin core + esplora, you may find that bitcoin core + rbitcoin provides better services to your wallet clients using less server resources. Test it and let us know. In this mode, rbitcoin will still warn on any consensus check that would have failed, so this mode may be useful for evaluating it long or short term as a potential alternative consensus implementation. Thanks to @TheBlueMatt for the proposal, @nitesh_btc and @coreylphillips for the many code reviews on the implementation and @grok for working through the fiddly details. The basic idea is simple, but getting it to skip and apply consensus rules in all the right places was tricky, and it was obviously important that normal rbitcoin use as a combined consensus validation and wallet serving client not be compromised in the process.

I’ve seen a few projects similar to Enclavia use tls termination inside the enclave for e2e security. To me it felt wrong, they could easily get another cert and mitm (remember browsers can’t pin certs). Now with the leaked CA keys I’m even more glad I didn’t take that route

if this PHP vulnerability allows remote code execution, doesn't that mean we can use the vulnerability to auto-patch all vulnerable servers?

I'm getting tired of the AI-generated slides and websites with rounded corners. Same radius everywhere. My slides are made with AI too, but at least I tell it what to do

5 years ago I was prototyping tamper resistant hardware with a mesh and light sensor that would trip if the case is opened. Maybe I should have kept going

🎉 100 ORDERS REACHED WITH BITPOST! 📦⚡ A small but significant milestone, behind which lies a story of sacrifices, challenges, resilience, and a lot of hard work. 🗓 We launched Bitpost in early July, but after just a few weeks, we found ourselves facing major issues related to the external infrastructure our service relied on. The difficulties affecting Boltz and Liquid also had consequences for Bitpost, forcing us to suspend operations for over a month and a half. It wasn't easy, but we never considered giving up. We used that time to work even harder, strengthen our infrastructure, improve our payment systems, and make Bitpost more robust and reliable. 💪 Today, we can finally share an important achievement: ✅️ 100 orders successfully completed. ✅️ All purchases completed successfully. ✅️ Disputes and claims managed and resolved. ✅️ An infrastructure built through over a year and a half of hard work. All of this despite Bitpost having been fully operational for just two months. 🤝 There are people who have decided to put their trust in a young, independent project built around a very clear vision. ❤️ To all the users who have chosen Bitpost... 🙏 THANK YOU. Thank you for your trust, your patience during difficult times, and the support you continue to show us. This is just the beginning. 🌍 Our mission is simple: to make it possible to purchase goods from e-commerce platforms freely, independently, and without having to ask anyone for permission. 📣 If you believe in this vision, we ask you one simple thing: share Bitpost, spread the word, and help us make this project known. Every share can make a difference. Freedom to Buy. ⚡

🚀 Bitpost is in the CypherTank semifinals! We’ve been selected for the Italian semifinal of CypherTank, the competition dedicated to Bitcoin and freedom tech projects, promoted by Plan ₿ in Lugano. 📌 On Wednesday, October 14, we’ll be at Dagorà in Lugano to present Bitpost in front of the jury. Bitpost is the first marketplace that allows users to trade with each other, in exchange for Bitcoin, goods purchased directly from e-commerce stores — without requiring the store to integrate Bitcoin or approve the transaction. 🎯 Our goal goes beyond payments: we want to build an infrastructure aligned with Bitcoin’s core principles, based on self-custody, freedom of choice, and fewer intermediaries. 🧡 Bitcoin shouldn’t be just a store of value. We want to make a truly circular Bitcoin economy possible. See you in Lugano! 🇨🇭

🗓 SAVE THE DATE — TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. BitPost is coming back online — this time, to stay. ⚒️ After weeks of work, we have finally integrated what we consider one of the core pillars of the project: 💸 Bitcoin On-Chain 🔥 Starting Tuesday, you’ll be able to: 📱 Use BitPost directly from your phone, with an experience fully optimized for mobile. 💰Pay with Bitcoin on-chain, directly on the Bitcoin network. For on-chain payments, a minimum purchase of €20 will apply, so that network fees don’t have an excessive impact on smaller transactions. 🌐Access BitPost through Tor Browser as well. For all privacy lovers, BitPost will also be available through our .onion address. 1️⃣ Mobile. 2️⃣ Bitcoin on-chain. 3️⃣ Tor. 🔼 Three major upgrades that mark another important step forward for BitPost. ✔️ More accessible. ✔️ More robust. ✔️ Closer to the vision BitPost was built on.
