This week’s newsletter includes the usual dashboard and action items, news about the importance of allowing secure and anonymous responsible disclosure of bugs, a potential new payment protocol that can improve privacy on Bitcoin without any consensus rule changes, shaving one byte off the size of every transaction signature, a new restriction on the P2P network protocol, and lowering the minimum transaction relay fee—plus a few notable commits from the Bitcoin Core, LND, and C-Lightning projects.
