This week’s newsletter provides information about the activation of taproot and includes our regular sections with summaries of changes to services and client software, new releases and release candidates, and notable changes to popular Bitcoin infrastructure software. Pieter Wuille provides mathematical breakdowns for how private key information can be leaked when signing twice with the same public key using: the same nonces, nonces with known offsets, and nonces with known factors. He recommends to "use xpriv/xpub along with some extra information indicating that thescriptt to create is Taproot, (e.g. with a tr() dscripttor)". Commercial exchanges are one of the fastest and easiest ways to acquire Bitcoins since they accept a variety of payment channels, including credit cards and PayPal, though some might demand extra fees for using credit cards and PayPal. This week’s newsletter links to a discussion about how to allow LN users to choose between higher fees and higher payment reliability. What are Binance’s withdrawal fees? In this scenario, the ultimate path is determined after all signatures are produced. 22934 adds a verification step after both ECDSA signatures and schnorr signatures are created. Christian Decker, who previously created and maintained the LN integration testing framework, said that he believes basic interoperability testing is "unlikely to catch any but the most egregious issues".<

A related discussion was started on the Lightning-Dev mailing list about improving interoperability testing. LN developers participating in the discussion noted that catching these sort of bugs is why every major implementation provides release candidates (RCs) and why expert users and administrators of production systems are encouraged to contribute to the testing of those RCs. For anyone interested in participating in such testing, the Optech newsletter lists RCs from four major LN implementations, plus various other Bitcoin software. The first major benefit will be a reduction in transaction size. In the worst case, this allows the local node to costlessly attempt to steal funds from a fully-spent channel-although such a theft attempt will still fail if the remote party is monitoring their channels. The company also said it managed to freeze $7 million of funds with the help of its security partners. By default, most remote nodes discourage such attempts by setting a reasonable channel reserve, but some Lightning Service Providers (LSPs) use low or zero channel reserves order to provide users with a better experience-allowing them to spend 100% of the funds in the channel. 165 was implemented in different ways by different LN nodes, resulting in nodes running the latest version of LND being unable to open new channels with nodes running the latest versions of C-Lightning and Eclair.<

911 that will allow nodes to advertise their DNS address rather than their IP address or Tor onion service address. RPC. Handling incoming onion messages and route blinding are not yet implemented. 1166 improves the default route scoring logic by penalizing channels where the payment HTLC amount would constitute more than 1/8th of the channel’s capacity. 4921 updates the implementation of onion messages to match the latest updates to the draft specifications for route blinding and onion messages. 2061 adds initial support for onion messages. 1176 adds initial support for anchor outputs-style fee bumping. As of this merge, support for anchor outputs is implemented in all four LN implementations we cover. 22364 adds support for creatinscriptriptors for taproot. Two of the largest and most immediate benefits of taproot will manifest if many of the users and services creating those transactions switch from multisig opcodesscriptriptless multisignatures. Furthermore, I am able to use Binance's services from anywhere in the world, with no territorial limits. The Rarible like NFT marketplace development processes the non-fungible tokens with uniqueness and allows the blockchain-powered digital assets like the collectibles, binance.com game items, digital Arts, event tickets, domain authorities, and ownership records for physical records to be traded off by making primary use of the non-fungible tokens.

Players can trade these digital items on NFT marketplaces and integrate them into their games. Needless to say many new traders even learned how to trade Bitcoin to make profits. 1163 allows the remote party to set their channel reserve below the dust limit, even all the way down to zero. Since only the remote node is taking any risk, there’s no problem allowing the local node to accept such channels. The safest course of action for users and businesses is to run their own taproot-enforcing node (such as Bitcoin Core 22.0) and only accept transactions confirmed by it. Alternatively, they may be risklessly using a taproot-enforcing node to choose which block chain to use while also using an older node or custom software to choose which transactions to include in their blocks. This may indicate that they were falsely signaling readiness to enforce taproot’s rules, a risk we previously warned about. The article highlights that the average carbon intensity of electricity consumed by the Bitcoin network may have increased from 478.27 gCO2/kWh on average in 2020 to 557.76 gCO2/kWh in August 2021. The carbon footprint provided by the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index is based on this carbon intensity. Similarly, for the investor, the biggest profit with the smallest outlay is important, and it's easy to have BTC news readily available.
