A test transaction for 2.5 BTC was sent to the @Liquid_BTC Federation wallet, reducing the shortfall to 600 BTC. The remaining 600 BTC will be moved to the wallet in the coming days. All network operations are continuing normally.

I've released new versions of the OpenTimestamps Client, and the python-opentimestamps library, fixing several bugs and potential security issues:
github.com/opentimestamps/op…
github.com/opentimestamps/py…
One notable issue is that the ots-git-gpg-wrapper, used in the Git support, wasn't properly passing *only* timestamped data to the underlying gpg command. So it's possible that an attacker could have constructed a timestamped and signed git commit that appeared to have a timestamped signature, when in reality that signature was *not* timestamped.
Secondly, python-opentimestamps did not correctly handle the case where a fork was followed by two identical opcodes. That is, a non-minimally-encoded timestamp where the two opcodes following a fork uselessly did the same thing. Previously, the second branch would silently overwrite the first; now python-opentimestamps raises a DeserializationError exception in this case. While python-opentimestamps would never produce such a serialized timestamp, it's possible that other implementations did, and the API of python-opentimestamps may be changed to handle this case in the future.
Other than that I don't think any of the remaining issues are all that serious in the typical way that OpenTimestamps is used — manual validation of timestamps in rare exceptional circumstances, and creating timestamps with the default calendars. That said, if you are doing automated validation of timestamps for an important use case, you should check the release notes and make sure these issues don't affect you.
Finally, there's been some recent fixes made to the OpenTimestamps Server, including a potential bug/DoS attack that could trigger as the wallet runs out of funds. Once triggered, this bug would prevent fee-bumping, thus preventing confirmation of timestamp transactions. If you run your own server, you should check the latest git history. That said, very few people actually need to run the OpenTimestamps server; in almost all circumstances you should just be using the public calendars.
Thanks to Ferdinando Ametrano for his work finding and fixing these issues.

Judge Alexandre de Moraes signed an order demanding Bolsonaro hand over his passport WITHIN SEVEN MINUTES of the close of voting. Before votes had even been counted.
What did he know about the vote results that enabled him to make this order within seven minutes of polls closing - seemingly confident that Bolsonaro had already lost?

URGENT: Sweden will not offer mRNA-based Covid shots to its citizens this winter, only older protein-based jabs - a stunning rejection.
Expect other countries to follow as we learn more about the long-term risks of repeated mRNA/LNP dosing.

Another note for SpaceX attorneys and PR: There was no need to issue an alert at all. Your own internal data showed a safe 2km pass. But you issued a 400m collision alert anyway. Why? Because the alert itself is the weapon. Issuing it triggered FCC Cond 16, legally freezing ICEYE so it couldn't dodge. STARLINK-35856 didn't use its auto-evasion. It just parked there and kept the false alarm blaring while Russia sprinted in. It wasn't an accident.
SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses
The Math Proves the Reality that Musk doesn't want you to see.
On Oct 13-14, SpaceX restricted Starshield/Starlink during a 39-missile Russian attack, cutting Ukrainian drone intercepts by 23% and stranding U.S. personnel in Kyiv. Forty-eight hours later (Oct 15), SpaceX blocked U.S.-licensed NRO, Space Force, and NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 in orbit so Russia's COSMOS 2612 weapon could intercept it (99.89%-99.98% posterior)
Our Model Demonstrates that the Russian intercept of the US/NATO ICEYE X-36 satellite (contemporaneous with the throttling of Starlink) would not have been possible, and almost certainly not been attempted, without SpaceX resources. At a material opportunity cost, Russia sprinted its COSMOS satellite to intercept ICEYE X36. Based on a previous attempt in June during which X36 maneuvered to evade COSMOS, Russia knew that this would be successful only if X36 could not maneuver. On October 15, SpaceX fixed X36 in place by issuing a collision alert for a sub-kilometer approach with its Starlink 35856 when SpaceX's own data shows that the actual distance was 4.8-5.0x as great. SpaceX issued no warning to COSMOS despite the fact that its sprint was far more threatening than the stable X36 orbit. SpaceX did not maneuver its Starlink 35856 satellite to clear the supposed collision risk. How, absent coordination with SpaceX, could Russia have known that SpaceX would take actions that (a) misrepresented the danger posed by X36, and (b) resulted in the fixing of X36 thereby enabling COSMOS's successful intercept? Thus, SpaceX was directly involved in simultaneously compromising Ukraine’s defensive and offensive capabilities. The conjunction of these two events makes innocent explanations untenable.
The Pentagon Capture & Iran Round Two Trap: Pentagon CTO Emil Michael who cashed out $7M–$35M from Musk’s inner-circle SpaceX vehicles (M8/Gigafund 0.1 and M6/Valor M33 II) and KQ Partners / xAI (selling xAIfor $5M–$25M three days before taking over CDAO/OSCand 21 days before SpaceX bought xAI, while keeping M8, M6, M9, M10 & Nomadic open) and Pete Hegseth purged rival Anthropic in two hours, surrendered combat command over US drones used to attack Iran to Starlink’s "Terms of Service," and on October 2 named Musk Co-Director of Project Meridian to design the Pentagon's "Future of Warfighting" just as America enters Iran Round Twowith depleted Patriot/THAAD magazines and Russia feeding U.S. warship/aircraft locations to Tehran.
SpaceX’s actions in Ukraine raise serious questions about its alignment with US security interests and its reliability as a cornerstone of US defense. These questions are particularly troubling given the effectively irreplaceable position SpaceX has been granted by the Hegseth/Emil Michael Pentagon.

Prominent accounts are already expressing outrage over RFK Jr.'s comments, but it's actually even broader than what he's saying: Muslims in general (and not just Arabs) have not distinguished themselves in science, at least in the modern age.

Sweden is officially ditching mRNA vaccines, and they are not hiding their reasons for doing so.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misleading. Image text is from a Dutch group (Artsen Collectief), not a Swedish source. Sweden’s regions chose Sanofi’s Nuvaxovid as sole supplier for the 2027/2028 campaign only.
There has been no mRNA ban; Public Health Agency says 2026/2027 mainly uses mRNA Comirnaty.

So in California. They give instructions on how ballots should be placed in the envelope.
When you do that — the Democrat candidate aligns with a visible hole.
Which means, when processing the ballots the person sorting them can tell if it is a Democrat Ballot or a ballot voting for someone else.
That is significant.
Now think about the time it takes to process California ballots.
Who is it that in some areas (LA County Mayoral Election) you have a mass dump of 24k ballots all for one candidate and not another?
How I imagine this works.
A ballot facility takes all the ballots that have that mark filled out and separates them.
Then they process them individually. The others ballots then are processed separately.
An initial count of a batch should give a rough estimate of Democrats versus Republican votes and give a probability of who is leading out of that batch.
This is before any ballots are actually counted.
This is a great method to know who is leading in the ballots prior to processing the ballots, especially when this is a numbers game.

Elon Musk lies again. Civilian Starlink was already speed-limited, and every terminal had to be whitelisted. Yet Starshield was throttled too, which can’t be explained by alleged ToS violations. His explanations keep contradicting each other, making his claims even less credible

I've been spammed with password reset demand from my Microsoft account. At a rate of 2 per days. Not phishing, just pure brute force.
Password resets needs 6 digits they send by email. So it doesn't seem likely to find anything.
But a malicious actor which try every day, with a dump of millions of leaked account he found somewhere?
Well he will crack a few of those with brute force every day...

The whole idea that shooting a retreating attacker is morally wrong seems predicated on the idea that said attacker is somehow running on *one-way feet*, and wouldn’t THINK of firing at you from cover once he reaches said cover.

Ukrainian troops on the Kupiansk front are riding carts through large-diameter pipes to get around faster.
The 2nd National Guard Corps "Khartia" announced that the Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted an underground counteroffensive operation - "Veles," advancing more than 15 km into enemy rear areas in the Kupyansk sector.
The grouping combined the underground assault with surface actions and UAV strikes, effectively denying the occupiers the opportunity to maneuver into Kupyansk's rear. As a result of the operation, over 30 occupiers were taken prisoner, and Russian casualties exceeded 100.

True story indeed! Two Italian taxmen showed their gov badges (outside Italian jurisdiction and without any warrant or service order) to demand free entry to the conference (as if they don't get enough free stuff living off tax extortion). Luckily the organizers made them pay regular tickets. If you meet them around* and they ask you questions, remember not to talk about your boating trips in any detail).
(* it may be illegal for me to post any picture of them, so I will not. I'll just post, as theoretical example, a completely fake and imaginary Grok-generated picture, without any connection to real people, which happens to comes from a prompt which is partially derived from the Grok-generated description of a real picture I've been sent.)

Я потрапив у газову трубу, де йдуть бої.
Це кілометри під землею. Тут дуже пахне газом, часом волого і супер стьомно, коли розумієш наскільки далеко ти до виходу.
Росіяни першими пішли по трубам, але тепер і ми, зокрема корпус Хартія @khartiia_corps розбудував тут неймовірну систему.
Цілий батальйон під землею. Це максимально сильні люди!
Як виглядають бойові дії в трубах? І як нам вдається відтискати ворога під землею? Дивись повне відео на ютуб Бомбардир і став лайк козакам.
