Bitcoin Optech newsletter #328 is here: - describes a vulnerability affecting old versions of Bitcoin Core - recaps the "Ephemeral Dust" PR Review Meeting - Optech Newsletter #328 Recap on Twitter Spaces Antoine Poinsot announced to the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list the final vulnerability disclosure predating Bitcoin Core’s new disclosure policy... Ephemeral Dust is a PR by instagibbs that makes transactions with ephemeral dust standard, improving the usability of both keyed as well as unkeyed (P2A) anchors...

Bitcoin Optech newsletter #327 is here: - describes a proposal for timeout tree channel factories - summarizes a draft BIP for proofs of discrete log equivalence to be used when generating silent payments - adds a discrete log equivalency (DLEQ) topic - adds a duplex micropayment channels topic - Optech Newsletter #327 Recap on Twitter Spaces ZmnSCPxj posted to Delving Bitcoin and discussed with Optech contributors a proposal for a new multi-layer channel factory design named SuperScalar... Andrew Toth posted to the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list a draft BIP and a link to an implementation for generating and verifying proofs of discrete log equality (DLEQ) for the elliptic curve used by Bitcoin (secp256k1)... Discrete log equivalency (DLEQ) or proofs of discrete log equivalency (PODLE) is the ability to prove two points on an elliptic curve were both derived from the same private value (such as a private key)... Duplex micropayment channels are bi-directional micropayment channels that use deincrementing relative time locks to ensure the latest state is the first that can be confirmed.
