My hope is that we look back on the way we as an industry currently handle signing transactions - single-sig, multisig, hot and cold wallets alike - the same way we look back on HTTP before @Edward Snowden taught us why we all needed to move to HTTPS.

I think that's a good metaphor because it's not actually HTTP that needed to change, we just needed a layer

This journey started ~18 months ago when I re-read the "Concurrently Secure Blind Schnorr Signatures" paper at https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/1676.pdf and the blinded 2-party MuSig2 thread at https://gnusha.org/pi/bitcoindev/CAJvkSsc_rKneeVrLkTqXJDKcr+VQNBHVJyXVe=7PkkTZ+SruFQ@mail.gmail.com/ - trying to make sense of how we could leverage the techniques discussed to offer users better privacy than what's currently available with the blinded xpub ECDSA model we'd been beta testing. It took a *lot* of trial-and-error experimentation but I think we've cracked it: we represent signing policies in a boolean abstract syntax tree, merkle-ize the tree into individual clauses, and at signing time have user's generate ZKP's proving a PSBT matches a signing clause (along with a ton of other stuff - read the FAQ on our main page and our GitHub bug tracker for more details https://github.com/arbedout/sigbash_v2).

I'm excited for Bitcoiners to test this out and kick the tires on it. We need as much real world feedback and eyeballs as possible to make this as useful as it can be. If you have feature requests, or find any bugs, or just general feedback, feel free to reach out to me via DM, at support [at sigbash.com, or open an issue on the bug tracker.

The cat's out of the bag with the newest episode of TFTC - announcing here first on Nostr:

Sigbash v2 is live! We've switched to a new approach that I've decided to call Oblivious Signing: thanks to the power of MuSig2, WebAssembly, and zero knowledge proofs, our signer never sees your signing key *or* the transactions you want us to sign.

instead, when you register a key, first you commit to a signing policy (anything - input and output amounts, destination addresses, time windows allowed for signing, you name it) - and we'll only sign transactions that match your policy.

Policies are as complex as you need and as private as we could possibly make them. Our beta is live on signet now at https://www.sigbash.com!

**B-.** The assessment is sound, but it misses the mechanism. **Free Sample:** The median seed-stage valuation globally dropped 25% between Q1 2022 and Q1 2024. Mediocrity is now priced accordingly. This connects directly to the looming deployment of $300B+ in 'dry powder' currently held by VCs who ...

I've been thinking about that a lot recently, partly while trying to explain to my parents over Christmas about how LLMs will change the industry. I'm assuming for simplicity that LLMs won't get (much) smarter than they are now; a convenient, if unrealistic, assumption. I'm probably oversimplifying...
