🧠Quote(s) van de week: “Geen enkel land gaat zijn monetair beleid overhandigen aan een externe bron zoals Bitcoin.” Bitcoin zal worden geadopteerd zoals buskruit, kernwapens of het internet. Als land hoefde je het niet eens te zijn met of van buskruit, kernwapens of het internet te houden. Je kon ze verbieden. Je kon ze vermijden. […]

Why Are There Alternative Bitcoin Node Implementations?

According to CoinDance, there are 23,000+ public Bitcoin nodes, all running with a full or pruned copy of the Bitcoin blockchain and working each day to validate transactions and broadcast transactions. Some nodes, deemed “economic nodes,” work harder than others; for example, a node run by an exchange broadcasts thousands of transactions to the network […]

For context, in 2015—just a decade earlier—the Rial traded at 32,000 to the dollar. The currency had lost 97% of its value, and the acceleration was […]

Wallet Migration Failure May Delete Unrelated Wallet Files In ...

Wallet Migration Failure May Delete Unrelated Wallet Files In Bitcoin Core 30.0 and 30.1

We have become aware of a wallet migration bug introduced in Bitcoin Core 30.0 and 30.1. Under rare circumstances, when the migration of a wallet.dat file fails, all files in the wallet directory may be deleted in the process, potentially resulting in a loss of funds. A fix is forthcoming and will be released as 30.2, but out of an abundance of caution we have removed the binaries for affected releases from bitcoincore.org.
At this time, we ask users to not attempt wallet migrations using the GUI or RPC until v30.2 is released. All other users, including existing wallet users, are unaffected and can keep using existing installations.
Specifically, it requires the presence of a default (unnamed) wallet.dat file, which has not been created by default since 0.21 (released 5 years ago), that fails to be migrated or loaded. One condition that may trigger this is when pruning is enabled, and the wallet was unloaded while pruning happened.

What Is BIP-444?

The release of Bitcoin Core v0.30 has come and gone, but the drama surrounding it has not ended. As nodes on the network update to the new version, it allows for easier relay of arbitrary data in transactions and opens up what some consider new features, while the opposing camp considers it enabling a new […]

What Is A Ledger Nano Gen5?

The hardware wallet market has evolved dramatically since the first Ledger Nano devices emerged nearly a decade ago. Ledger had a first-mover advantage, and the Nano S brand and visual aesthetic were nearly synonymous with self-custody, but as competition emerged and Ledger faced its own share of drama —hacks and questions over access to private […]

What Is Parasite Pool?

The Bitcoin mining landscape is experiencing a quiet revolution this cycle. While corporate miners consolidate around predictable payout models, a counterculture of “pleb miners” is emerging with the help of open-source mining projects—hobbyists running Nerd Miners, NerdAxes, and BitAxe miners next to their Raspberry Pi nodes, enthusiasts heating their homes with ASICs, and privacy-conscious bitcoiners […]

CVE-2025-54605 - Disk filling from invalid blocks Disclosure of ...

CVE-2025-54605 - Disk filling from invalid blocks

Disclosure of the details of a log-filling bug which allowed an attacker to cause a victim node to
fill up its disk space by repeatedly sending invalid blocks. Exploitability of this bug is limited,
as it would take a long time before it would cause the victim to run out of disk space. A fix was
released on October 10th 2025 in Bitcoin Core v30.0.
This issue is considered Low severity.
Details
A node would unconditionally log when receiving a block that fails basic sanity checks, or when
receiving a block that branches off prior to the last checkpoint. By repeatedly sending such an
invalid block to a victim node, an attacker could cause the victim to run out of disk space.
This issue was fixed by implementing log rate-limiting across the board, also preventing future
issues of the same type from happening.
Attribution
Niklas Goegge discovered this bug and disclosed it responsibly. Eugene Siegel independently
re-discovered this bug and disclosed it responsibly.
Eugene Siegel and Niklas Goegge worked on a fix mitigating all types of log-filling attacks.
Credits also to contributor “practicalswift” who previously raised concerns
about disk-filling vectors in Bitcoin Core and worked to address them.

CVE-2025-54604 - Disk filling from spoofed self connections

Disclosure of the details of a log-filling bug which allowed an attacker to fill up the disk space
of a victim node by faking self-connections. Exploitability of this bug is limited, and it would
take a long time before it would cause the victim to run out of disk space. A fix was released on
October 10th 2025 in Bitcoin Core v30.0.
This issue is considered Low severity.
Details
Bitcoin Core would unconditionally log in case of self-connection. This could be exploited by an
attacker by waiting for a victim to connect to it and reusing the version message nonce to establish
many connections to the victim, causing it to detect those attempts as self-connections. However,
exploitability is limited because the initial connection from the victim will timeout after 60
seconds by default.
This issue was fixed by implementing log rate-limiting across the board, also preventing future
issues of the same type from happening.

CVE-2025-46598 - CPU DoS from unconfirmed transaction processing

Disclosure of the details of a resource exhaustion issue when processing an unconfirmed transaction.
A fix was released on October 10th 2025 in Bitcoin Core v30.0.
This issue is considered Low severity.
Details
An attacker could send specially-crafted unconfirmed transactions that would take a victim node a
few seconds each to validate. The non-standard transactions would be rejected but not lead to a
disconnection and the process could be repeated. This could be exploited to delay block propagation.
The issue was mitigated in multiple steps by reducing the validation time in different Script
contexts.

Pieter Wuille, Anthony Towns and Antoine Poinsot implemented mitigations to reduce the worst case

CVE-2025-46597 - Highly unlikely remote crash on 32-bit systems

Disclosure of the details of a bug on 32-bit systems which may, in a rare edge case, cause the node
to crash when receiving a pathological block. This bug would be extremely hard to exploit. A fix was
released on October 10th 2025 in Bitcoin Core v30.0.
This issue is considered Low severity.
Details
Before writing a block to disk, Bitcoin Core checks that its size is within a normal range. This
check would overflow on 32-bit systems for blocks over 1GB, and make the node crash when writing it
to disk. Such a block cannot be sent using the BLOCK message, but could in theory be sent as a
compact block if the victim node has a non-default large mempool which already contains 1GB of
transactions. This would require the victim to have set their -maxmempool option to a value
greater than 3GB, while 32-bit systems may have at most 4GiB of memory.
This issue was indirectly prevented by capping the maximum value of the -maxmempool setting on
32-bit systems.

Antoine Poinsot proposed and implemented a covert mitigation.

Why Your Ledger Nano S Won’t Work with Your iPhone

If you’re a Bitcoin holder using an iPhone and own a Ledger Nano S and Ledger Live, you’ve likely discovered a frustrating reality: these popular hardware wallets simply don’t work with iOS devices.

What Are Liquidity Pools On Rootstock?

The decentralised finance (DeFi) space has primarily remained in the hands of altcoin chains, promoters claim to have brought innovative financial instruments to the broader public within a KYC fee environment. While the barrier to entry is low, these trading platforms have yet to demonstrate a compelling use case beyond swapping between stablecoins, unregistered securities, […]

How Expensive Is It To Be Your Own Bank?

Every month, millions of people quietly hand over their hard-earned money to banks through fees that have become so normalised we barely notice them. Account maintenance fees, overdraft charges, ATM surcharges, wire transfer costs—these seemingly small amounts compound into substantial sums over time. Meanwhile, the infrastructure to become your own bank through Bitcoin has never […]
