Ben 开发了 Satd，这是一个用 Rust 编写的现代、独立的比特币协议实现，旨在打破 Bitcoin Core 单一 C++ 实现长达 15 年的垄断局面。Satd 内置原生 TLS、Electrum/Esplora API 服务、基于 RocksDB 的原子索引、细粒度权限认证、流式消费者 API（支持 gRPC 和 JSON WebSocket）以及 ratatui 终端界面等开箱即用功能。它通过双引擎影子验证（Rust 共识引擎与 Core 的 C++ libbitcoinconsensus 交叉校验）确保无链分裂，支持优化 IBD、bitcoin.conf 兼容和 JSON-RPC，并提供 Nix 可重现构建。目前处于早期 beta 阶段，欢迎反馈。
A security researcher discovered that a fake copy of the Tronscan blockchain explorer appeared as the #1 result on DuckDuckGo. The malicious site was a phishing page designed to drain cryptocurrency wallets. The finding highlights potential dangers of search engine results redirecting users to fraudulent sites.
A conference speaker at QDay stated that if cryptography breaks, blockchain becomes useless. Google estimates 1,200 logical qubits are needed to break Bitcoin keys, and standards bodies have set their first deadlines for 2028.
Zcash developers expressed gratitude to OpenAI for assisting in protecting Zcash users from security bugs, noting no new issues to report.
