What's the deal with Claude subscription? Is it still easy to hit the usage limit? ppq.ai gets expensive with large code calls. Thinking of trying Cursor IDE to see what it thinks about the repos.

Today we disclose Dark Skippy - a powerful new method for a malicious signing device to leak secret keys. With a modified signing function, a device can efficiently and covertly exfiltrate a master secret seed by embedding it within transaction signatures If an attacker manages to corrupt a signing device, Dark Skippy can deliberately use weak & low entropy secret nonces to embed chunks of the seed words into transaction signatures. It takes just two input signatures to leak a 12 word seedphrase onto the Bitcoin blockchain. The attacker can watch on-chain until they spot an affected transaction, unblind and invert the low entropy nonces using an algorithm like Pollard's Kangaroo algorithm to learn the master secret seed. Then the attacker can wait and steal the funds whenever they decide best. Despite this attack vector not being new, we believe that Dark Skippy is now the best-in-class attack for malicious signing devices. - The attack is impractical to detect - Requires no additional communication channels - Effective on stateless devices - Exfils master secret Beyond ensuring your device firmware is genuine and honest (opensource), mitigations include anti-exfil signing protocols and we present some new ideas for additions to PSBT specifications to disrupt this attack. We encourage mitigation discussion and implementation exploration. This attack highlights the importance of verifying and securing your device's firmware, and the danger of sharing stateless signing devices with other people. We will be publicly releasing our code later this year. Authors: @Zero-Knowledge Goof (follow him so he gets onto nostr), Robin Linus, and myself.

Hacking private raffles into ecash (whjo is asking for this): Imagine you own a rarity that you want to privately raffle, You place the item in a box protected behind a locked door, a door that only unlocks after a payment to a displayed QR invoice. You create an ecash mint and allow people to exchange sats for ecash tickets. Ticket holders continually self pay to improve group privacy. To draw a winner, you draw a single note at random and make that note the only redeemable note which can pay the invoice to unlock the door.
