1 year ago That was my original thinking, but maybe separate comments for each topic would be best on second thought. (Edit: See updated first comment!)

1 year ago Part one of a three-part series on SegWit, also known as segregated witness.
In order to understand Taproot, we must gain a clear understanding of what SegWit. This first part will cover the requisite background material that led to SegWit. Parts two and three will be more of a technical discussion of SegWit version1 and version2.

1 year ago After three long years the route blinding proposal from Bastien Teinturier has finally been merged into the BOLT-04 spec! Route blinding is a technique for achieving recipient privacy by obscuring the final few hops of a payment route using ECDH shared secrets between the recipient and the nodes along the blinded path. Check the PR or read this nice summary on the Voltage blog.
0xB10C has released a detailed report on the network entity he calls Linking Lion. It appears to be a malicious actor attempting to trace the source node of bitcoin transactions. This can be accomplished by connecting to a large number of bitcoin nodes to collect inv and addr message data. With this data, a dedicated attacker can perform timing analysis to identify the origin node of transaction announcements.
James O'Beirne has dropped an exciting update to his OP_VAULT proposal that includes techniques from TLUV for increased flexibility and simplicity of the protocol. O'Beirne also proposes to include OP_CTV as a first-class citizen in this proposal. This news is very exciting for covenant fans. Read the BIP or get the TL;DR from this excellent twitter thread.
payjoin.org is a new site from Dan Gould explaining the mechanism and use of P2EP, or payjoin, a privacy-preserving on-chain transaction protocol that breaks the common input ownership hueristic. The site links directly to the payjoin SDK, a rust crate intended for developers to add payjoin support to their projects. payjoin v0.7.0 was also recently released with a focus on making bitcoin core and LND integration possible.
