I can’t find any specs for it so it seems to be vendor proprietary for now. It would need to become a part of PSBTs somehow with SeedSigner’s model.

Made it cheaper how?
On the surface it may seem like it but you have to realize this availability of space meant more demand and more fees, until the market reached the amount they would pay reasonably per byte stored
Contain more spam, sure, but also contains more non-spam TXs

Inscriptions could happen before SegWit, it would have only meant fees would have gone up a little less.

Yes, the only way you can verify it with custom firmware is to ask the bootloader itself for its hash from the docs.

2024-08-19 17:45:18

The entire problem is that the bootloader has to be trusted with attesting what it is.

And should it not apply to just the word as is? Prefix/suffix matches should use wildcards imho.

And that’s fine.
But people building random shit and hoping someone finds it, or that we randomly stumble across the “killer app” for Nostr is mistaken.

the solution is hardened derivation but hardened derivation can only be calculated via xprv, not xpub

2024-08-18 15:43:36

- reply

critical flaw:
xpub derivation works by putting the chain code C and index I through a hash function to get a modifier private key m
using the base private key b, you can calculate the derived key as b + m
for public part, m can still be calculated (chain code and index are public), but you only get base public key B
you convert m to a public key M, and calculate B + M, and that is the public key for b + m
now if b + m, the derived key, gets leaked, and the base xpub is public, m can be calculated and subtracted from b + m, to get b
you can from there calculate any other derivation path
