⚠️ Own Bitcoin? Do This Before Tomorrow [BIP-110 + MORE HACKS]

BTC Pay Server is being actively exploited right now, and if you're running a lightning node through LND, a simple update won't cut it — you need to destroy and recreate your macaroons, or just shut the whole thing down until you can do it properly. This episode digs into a week where Cold Card was just the first domino, and the hacks keep coming for the most hardcore corner of Bitcoin infrastructure. In this episode: • BIP 110 mandatory signaling lands tomorrow with only about 2.6% miner support — far short of the 55% threshold, and even prominent supporter Bob Burnett says getting the BIP 110 chain to dominance is "roughly equivalent to flying a 747 through a basketball hoop" • Jason Hughes analyzed 131,000 nodes and found 71% of detected BIP 110 signaling nodes were duplicates, putting genuine signaling nodes at under 6% of non-duplicated total • Start9 closed 230 of their own Lightning channels ahead of the activation window and outlined four possible chain-split scenarios, including replay attack risks if no hard fork replay protection is added • BTC Pay Server has a critical vulnerability actively being exploited — update to version 2.4.2 immediately, or shut your server down; Evan Kaloudis of Zeus warns upgrading alone isn't enough without regenerating root keys • LND nodes also need updates, and Silent Link had to pull their payment processor entirely due to these cascading vulnerabilities • A 24-person security research team has now scanned 425 Bitcoin projects and found over 1,000 high and critical findings — Cold Card appears to have been the breach that brought sharks into the water • Michael Saylor claims he used ChatGPT to design preferred stock instruments STRK, STRF, and STRD, raising roughly $15 billion for Strategy's Bitcoin purchases • U.S. economy unexpectedly shed 23,000 jobs in July against expectations of adding 85,000; the Crypto Clarity Act is now pushed to September Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/vWRf6-odWa0
