This is how countries and their citizens are attacked. What if the attack comes from inside. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects five basic freedoms: religion, speech, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government.

Boltz announcement UPDATE ON THE FUTURE OF BOLTZ 📢 Over the past couple of months, AI-assisted attackers have been targeting Boltz with increasing frequency, intensity and sophistication. Several of these attacks succeeded, but because Boltz is non-custodial, user funds were never at risk. The entirety of the risk was ours, and as a result of the losses incurred, on August 3rd we made the difficult decision to suspend the service to prevent further damage. While working on a plan to bring Boltz back over the past days, we had to accept one painful insight: as a bootstrapped five-person startup, we simply don't have the resources to withstand the current level of attacks in the long run. Today, we are happy to announce that a group of veteran Bitcoiners came forward to help, bringing the capital and engineering power the project needs. They have agreed to take over Boltz and continue the service. Work to find and fix the vulnerabilities is already under way, with the goal of bringing swaps back as soon as possible. As we want to give them the freedom to introduce themselves in their own time, we are not attaching any names today. All original founders of Boltz have stepped down from the company, effective immediately. None of us will have any formal or authoritative role with the Boltz project going forward, and any future open-source participation by us is strictly on a voluntary basis. We are grateful for the community's support all these years, for the patience and understanding of our integrators affected by the disruption of our service, and to everyone who reached out offering support over the past week. It was a hell of a ride, and we are proud of our contributions to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Godspeed to the new Boltz team as they navigate these perilous times. We know Boltz is in good hands. - Kilian, Michael & Karl

@Bitcoin Mechanic , @Luke Dashjr and @Matthew Kratter I like the name Bitcoin-Blake2b suggested by @Roughnecks Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin and we are following his original blueprints and ethos. Those values are in our hearts. Bitcoin worked as intended for more than a decade and we fell in love with it. Fabians started slowly capturing it and now we know the truth but they can't capture the idea of Freedom Money and the original Bitcoin ethos. Much respect guys. I am with you and the BIP-110 community.

Seller and the institutions better pump Bitcoin. Come on Andy, come on Mow, pump it 2x, 3x, 5x Lets see that omega green candle. Come on ordinals degens. Push those jpegs and pay the miners. Bitcoin's price is at 5 year old level. That is not winning. View quoted note →
