UNGOVERNABLE

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOB Max: spent a full day and roughly $100 in API credits on a marketing project using lower-end models rather than his normal Claude subscription -- couldn't use it due to privacy concerns around Ungovernable content; a warning that frontier model quality costs real money per token Q: quiet weekend -- kids party Saturday, christening Sunday; off to Portugal on Friday NEWS Revolut hands passports and Bitcoin histories to a spoofed government request: attackers used a real government agency's email domain to extract passport scans, verification selfies, home addresses, and full transaction histories including Bitcoin activity; Revolut refuses to confirm the number of affected customers, the market, or the agency involved; attacker is now leaking customer files daily on Telegram and demanding 10,000 BTC -- CoinDesk, TechCrunch, Decrypt Liquid exploit recovery: 3,400 BTC returned to block 965950 on September 7 via on-chain OP_RETURN negotiation; ~598.5 BTC (~$47M) remains with the exploiters; Blockstream refused the demanded 10% bounty, called it theft, and says it will work with law enforcement; block production resumed September 10 but peg operations remain suspended -- Bitcoin Magazine, news.bitcoin.com, CoinDesk, The Bitcoin Manual Final CLARITY Act text drops: ethics deal done, developer protections narrowed; the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act now covers civil enforcement only with criminal protections removed -- including the charge brought against the Samourai developers; cloture vote is September 15 at 2:15pm ET, needs 60 votes; prediction markets put passage at ~25% -- The Crypto Times, The Block, The Hill, CoinDesk Chinese quantum benchmark drops secp256k1 attack to 835 logical qubits, down 60% from the 2020 estimate of 2,124; current best hardware reaches 94 logical qubits; addresses with exposed public keys face the greatest future risk -- TFTC, CoinDesk Alby Hub authentication bypass lets attackers drain Lightning wallets: critical flaw in v1.7.0 through v1.18.5 allows unauthenticated remote takeover when port 8080 is internet-accessible; at least one user confirmed compromised; update to v1.24.0 and block external access to port 8080 -- The Hacker News Brevo breach lets attackers send phishing from Trezor, BitBox, and CoinTracking domains: attackers created API keys inside Brevo customer accounts allowing emails from real sending domains that passed SPF, DKIM, and DMARC; the lure was a fake STM32 Entropy Vulnerability alert targeting hardware wallet owners; Trezor and BitBox both confirmed the breach on September 9 -- CryptoTimes, Decrypt RELEASES Highlights Electrs v0.12.0 -- 2026-09-13 Switches to the bindex indexing library. Requires Bitcoin Core 31 or later and a full reindex -- upgrade Core first and plan for downtime, especially on lower-powered hardware. Fedimint v0.12.1 -- 2026-09-12 Security release fixing a vulnerability in the Lightning gateway's LNv1 payment handling. Gateway operators should upgrade immediately. The fix is consensus-neutral so federation participants and wallet users do not need to coordinate an upgrade.

Phoenix v2.8.2 -- 2026-09-08 (Android), 2026-09-07 (iOS) Adds Italian, Japanese, Polish, Ukrainian, and Korean language support. Android users can now manually set feerates on outgoing on-chain transactions, matching iOS parity. BTCPay Server v2.4.4 -- 2026-09-08 Breaking-change release: NFC payments disabled by default at checkout, zero-amount invoices blocked by default, and Boltcard desktop setup removed in favour of the dedicated Boltcard app. Review the breaking changes before upgrading. Ashigaru Desktop v1.4.5 -- 2026-09-07 Major catch-up release. Fixes broken HTTPS connectivity in earlier builds (missing crypto modules broke all outbound connections). Adds in-app update checking with signature verification, a guided tour, dice-based passphrases, and stronger Dojo node verification. Existing users on older versions must download manually. Flint v1.1.0 -- 2026-09-07 Updates compatibility to BTCPay Server 2.4.4 and enforces Breez SDK Spark release gating. Upgrade alongside BTCPay 2.4.4.

A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth. Thanks to Jordan for joining us to walk through Ashigaru Desktop live on air. Jordan built a full graphical desktop wallet on top of Ashigaru Terminal, bringing Whirlpool mixing to a wider audience with a guided tour for newcomers, a dice-based EFF passphrase generator, in-app software verification against his BIP47 payment code, and the ability to mix straight to cold storage using an output descriptor. We watched a full mix go through in real time, explored the Mix To feature for sending post-mix funds directly to a Passport Prime wallet, and talked through bad bank, pool fees, and keeping KYC and privacy stacks separate.

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOB First live show!

Includes security fixes: P2WSH/P2SH-P2WSH change output validation, enhanced ATECC608 entropy, and a PSBT trust_witness_utxo toggle addressing CVE-2020-14199. Cake Wallet 6.4.4 -- 2026-09-04 Adds native Trezor hardware wallet support for Bitcoin cold storage and offline signing. Fixes a security vulnerability (GHSA-695v-fhpj-fv8x) where a malicious deep-link could cause EVM assets to be sent on an incorrect network. Also includes improved Monero sync visibility. Nunchuk Android 2.8.5 -- 2026-09-03 Adds BitBox02 connectivity over Bluetooth and USB, integrates Krux hardware wallet support, and introduces emergency push notifications with home-screen alerts. RoboSats v0.8.7-alpha -- 2026-08-31 Major update adding three new coordinators (Eleuteria, Freeport, Ammanaya), a federation consensus mechanism, and end-to-end encrypted image uploads in order chat via Blossom. Coordinators are now ranked live by DevFund donation value. Multiple security fixes including PGP verification. Everything else Aqua Wallet v0.5.3 -- 2026-09-01 BasicSwap DEX v0.18.6 -- 2026-09-06 BitBox02 Firmware v9.27.1 -- 2026-09-04 Bitcoin Knots v29.4.1 -- 2026-09-02 Blockstream Green Desktop 3.5.4 -- 2026-09-04 Bull Bitcoin Mobile 6.13.4 -- 2026-09-04 Cashu CDK v0.18.0 -- 2026-09-02 Cashu TS v5.0.0-rc.9 -- 2026-09-04 Coldcard Firmware v5.6.2 and v1.5.2Q -- 2026-09-03 Flint v1.0.4 -- 2026-09-02 JoinMarket-NG v0.39.1 -- 2026-09-06 LDK v0.3-rc1 -- 2026-09-04 Lightning Terminal v0.17.4-alpha -- 2026-09-03 LND v0.21.3-beta -- 2026-09-02 Mostro v0.18.7 -- 2026-09-05 Specter-DIY v1.10.5 -- 2026-09-06 Tails 7.12 -- 2026-09-05 Zeus v13.2.1 -- 2026-09-02 EDUCATION Liquid explainer: cached validation versus key compromise Use OrangeSurf's technical notes alongside the DeFi Prime explainer. Treat early reporting as provisional, not a completed postmortem. The reported flaw lets an invalid proof receive a cached pass; confidential amounts do not make validity unknowable. OrangeSurf reports one explorer rejected the transaction, with the cause of divergence unresolved. Do not describe this as cryptographically bypassing federation signatures, or assert that Confidential Transactions hid issuance from every observer. Liquid trust model: validation, custody and recovery The SpendNode discussion can frame key compromise versus invalid issuance, but its incident details need the qualifications above. Holding an L-BTC wallet key still leaves the underlying BTC dependent on the federation and the system's validation rules. Mainchain self-custody avoids that particular peg exposure; it does not eliminate all software or consensus risk. Pair with Mow's on-chain message chronology: an offer to return most funds is not completed recovery, and an acknowledgement is not proof of a complete patch. Bitcoin Optech #421: Silent Payments for Mining Pool Coinbase Payouts -- Bitcoin Optech Published: 2026-09-04 Explains how mining pools could use BIP352 silent payment addresses to pay miners directly in coinbase transactions, replacing xpub-based payouts and improving miner privacy. The newsletter also covers the full CLN ping-flood DoS disclosure and post-quantum signature proposals. A concrete, actionable application of silent payments moving from theory to real infrastructure. Shows how the protocol can improve miner privacy without new consensus changes. The CLN disclosure detail is also worth mentioning as follow-up to last episode's CLN coverage.
