Bitcoin developer Gregory Maxwell claims he attempted the same NIST ECDSA curve seed investigation using Anthropic's Claude about a month before the company's announcement. He calls it "an obvious question that many people have surely posed."

Michael Saylor: "Bitcoin is up approximately 38% a year, every year." "Bitcoin is outperforming gold. Gold is outperforming the S&P index."

Michael Saylor: "We think we're at the beginning of a bull market." "We've got banking adoption accelerating. We've got tokenized securities and the digital asset space accelerating... all these things are very auspicious for the asset."

For 25 years people speculated the NSA hid a backdoor in the NIST curve seeds. Turns out the P-256 seed was candidate #1842 from a random number generator started at 01:52:34 UTC on August 16, 1997. Claude figured it out in under half an hour. The scariest thing AI has done to ECDSA so far is make it look less suspicious.

According to Galaxy Research, roughly $91 million has been stolen from Ledger hardware wallets sold by CryptoBilis, a Southeast Asian reseller, in a supply chain attack. The compromised devices contained a hardware implant that "reads the screen during setup, captures the 24-word recovery phrase and sends it out over LTE through a provisioned eSIM." Ledger's Secure Element was never breached, which is why its Genuine Check passed on tampered units. Galaxy calls the $91 million figure a "floor," noting that trackers covering additional chains put total losses between $93 million and $95 million. About $64.5 million was drained from TRON addresses, $17.6 million in BTC, and $8.8 million in ETH and stablecoins. As of October 15, roughly $56.6 million remains in attacker-controlled wallets. About $13.5 million has gone through Tornado Cash and Tether has frozen $10 million of USDT tied to the theft. "Bitcoin's math had a great quarter. Everything wrapped around it did not." - Alex Thorn

The correlation between bitcoin's market cap and 10-year real Treasury rates has risen to its highest level on record, according to new analysis from Fidelity Digital Assets.

Court records reveal what it looks like when Telegram hands user data to U.S. authorities. A letter filed in a federal case shows Telegram providing a user's phone number, user ID, and IP address, signed off with "We hope this information will be helpful in your investigation." As of January, Telegram had provided U.S. authorities with data on 2,253 users, a dramatic shift after French authorities arrested CEO Pavel Durov in August 2024. 404media.co/heres-what-tel…

China is moving to restrict the export of its most advanced AI models. The Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology are proposing rules that would target models exceeding 2 trillion parameters or requiring more than 10^26 FLOPs of training compute, along with advanced AI agents, computing clusters, and training architectures. Future open-source releases from DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, and GLM that exceed these thresholds would require export licensing, though Beijing says it will offer streamlined approval for open-source and academic use. Models already in the public domain are exempt.
