UNGOVERNABLE

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q.AOBQ: short weekend trip to LisbonQ: Envoy v2.3.4 out -- stability and maintenance release; faster Bluetooth firmware updates for Passport Prime, bug fixes and further Tor connectivity improvementsQ: Legacy Mode beta for Passport Prime -- optional app porting Ledger's open-source device applications to KeyOS so users can manage alt coin holdings on open-source hardware; not installed by default, device stays Bitcoin-only if ignoredMax: bought a Stanley flask and a robot vacuum and mop combo NEWSCLARITY Act dies in the US Senate 49-50, eleven votes short of the 60 needed for cloture; every Democrat who voted said no, joined by Republicans Collins, Hawley and Moran; the final text dropped the explicit criminal protection for non-custodial developers against 18 USC 1960 charges -- the same law used against the Samourai and Tornado Cash developers -- keeping only civil protections; Senator Lummis warned failure leaves no realistic chance this decade; the SEC and CFTC immediately signalled unilateral rulemaking -- CoinDesk, Newsweek, TFTC, The Rage, TFTC, Coin CenterTwo days after the CLARITY Act failed, the CFTC sent a pre-rule rulemaking titled "Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets" to the White House for review; contents are not public but expected to create a path for crypto spot exchanges to operate under CFTC oversight; prepared in advance and filed immediately once Congress failed to act -- PYMNTS, CoinDesk, The DefiantCFTC Staff Letter 26-25 extends to all qualifying developers the no-action relief Phantom received in March; software that passes user orders to CFTC-registered futures firms without holding assets, generating signals or controlling routing does not need to register as an introducing broker; not law, can be withdrawn at any time, and does not protect wallet developers from DOJ money-transmission charges -- TFTC, CFTCThe FCA, HMRC and Metropolitan Police raided three London premises on September 10 targeting unregistered peer-to-peer crypto trading operations and issued cease-and-desist letters at all three; the FCA says not a single P2P crypto business is registered in the UK; the second coordinated enforcement action this year, following raids across eight locations in April which are now feeding criminal investigations; the UK's full crypto regime begins October 2027 -- CoinDeskHodl Hodl shipped "enhanced bitcoin security scoring" on September 18 that checked incoming bitcoin for red flags and blocked trades with a bad score; after user backlash Anna from the team posted on September 19 that they got it wrong, it shipped without warning and was explained poorly, and it is now disabled; if it returns in any form it will be disclosed beforehand; scoring coins for red flags is taint analysis, and Hodl Hodl's position holding one key on every 2-of-3 multisig trade is what makes this kind of screening possible -- Hodl Hodl on X, Anna (Hodl Hodl) on XThe Rage argues the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve created by Executive Order 14233 may exist only on paper; no reserve office appears in Treasury's public org chart or the 2025 Fiscal Report; Bloomberg reported in July that Treasury and Commerce were still disputing who has authority to run it; the House Financial Services Committee advanced the ARMA bill 28-21 on September 16 ordering agencies to keep custody of their bitcoin until the reserve is "fully established and certified operational"; a FOIA request for records on the reserve office is still pending -- The RageLiquid peg-outs remain paused two weeks after the $320M exploit; 3,400 BTC was returned and blocks resumed September 10 but 598.5 BTC remains with the attacker; the federation says peg-outs will resume only after 1:1 backing is confirmed and software updates and independent security reviews are complete, with no date given; L-BTC holders can only sell or swap through services like AQUA's Indra where liquidity is limited -- Liquid_BTC on X, Liquid incident reportJAN3 launched Indra on September 15, its own Lightning-Liquid swap backend for AQUA, after Boltz suspended service in August following sustained AI-assisted attacks; for now it only handles Lightning sends paying invoices from L-BTC, with receiving to follow; JAN3 replicated the Boltz API signatures so it can act as a drop-in replacement; about three hours after launch Indra was hit by a DoS attack and forward swaps were temporarily disabled -- JAN3, Stacker News, Samson Mow on XCLN operators are advised to disable experimental features after a suspected dual-fund channel drain; on September 12 a node operator reported a peer opened a dual-funded channel, drained most of his liquidity and went offline, with the funding txid his node recorded not existing on-chain; on September 15 Core Lightning issued a security advisory urging all operators running experimental features to disable them; at least two more operators have since reported losses; no patched release has shipped -- GitHub issue #9498, CLN collaborator comment, Core Lightning advisoryA pull request by Roasbeef would change the BOLT11 spec so readers must reject invoices containing more than one payment hash; a popular Telegram P2P bot was recently hacked through this ambiguity because some libraries took the first payment hash and others the last, allowing a system mixing both to be tricked into thinking a withdrawal was never paid out -- GitHub PR #1357Lightning wallet Blink paused all services on September 19 after an attacker drained a limited number of custodial accounts; "a few dozen" custodial accounts were affected, every affected account will be made whole, and non-custodial wallets were untouched; a patch was deployed and services came back online the same afternoon; the attack path is unknown pending a post-mortem -- Blink on X, Bitcoin.com News, TFTC on XLondon-based crypto infrastructure provider Haruko was hit by a targeted attack affecting 15 clients -- all those without an IP whitelist; attackers exploited a flaw in Haruko's own processes to extract a user-access token exposing exchange API details and trading data; three sources say a small amount of client funds was stolen, mainly from smaller hedge funds -- CoinDeskSwiss Bitcoin Pay, a non-custodial Bitcoin and Lightning payment processor, took its servers offline on September 14 after a malicious user likely accessed its internal systems; customer email addresses, bitcoin addresses, IBANs, transaction histories and hashed passwords may have been exposed; user funds are safe and any amounts owed will be returned in full; servers remain offline as of today with no restore date -- Bitcoin Magazine, FinanceFeedsUpdate on the Revolut breach: attackers used a hacked email account on a real Italian government domain to send fake law enforcement data requests; at least 680 customers are affected, targeted for their crypto holdings via blockchain analysis; on September 16 the group demanded 6,000 XMR (~$3M) within 24 hours or it would sell the data; the deadline passed, Revolut says it has had no direct contact, and Italian police and UK regulators are investigating;

A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth.In this episode, Max chats with Seth for a wide-ranging catch-up on the state of open source and local AI following his visit to the Open Source AI Summit in San Francisco. They talked about why AI feels so energising compared with the slower pace of Bitcoin development, how local and open models are rapidly improving, and why more people in the freedom tech world need to pay attention. Seth shared his view that we are already close to a point where self-hosted AI is practical for everyday use, with the right hardware, and explained the trade-offs between speed, intelligence and cost when choosing a setup.Max and Seth also dug into what it means to treat AI like “self-custody for intelligence",  keeping your data private, running tools locally, and avoiding dependence on closed platforms that can limit, monitor or shape your usage. Along the way, they covered how AI can help with everything from infrastructure and creative work to family life and productivity, as well as the risks around surveillance, security and misuse. Max and Seth closed by looking at the idea of “resonant computing”, a vision for technology that is private, adaptable and built to serve people rather than exploit them.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools DONATE TO THE FAMILIES w/ USD ----> https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneDONATE TO THE FAMILIES w/ BTC ----> https://pay.zaprite.com/pl_JpxtkLv95T SUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ---> https://billandkeonne.org/TO DONATE TO ROMAN'S DEFENSE FUND: https://freeromanstorm.com/donateVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ungovernable- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://ungovernable.network/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today’s tech conglomerates.

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 recoveryThe 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 OptechPublished: 2026-09-04Explains 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.
