Time To Leave the UK? | THE BITCOIN BRIEF 54

This week, we cover critical developments across various fronts: The #samourai case progresses with key hearings scheduled throughout 2025, including expert disclosures and a trial set for November. #Opensats announces its 10th wave of grants, supporting innovative projects within the #bitcoin ecosystem. Meanwhile, #Faketoshi faces fines for misleading the court with #AI-generated evidence.

Security remains a priority as #trezorwallet publishes a vulnerability disclosure affecting Safe 3 models, while #tornadocash celebrates the lifting of sanctions. On the mining front, two solo miners successfully secure blocks, highlighting the continued decentralization of Bitcoin mining.

In Turkey, Twitter faces backlash for suspending opposition accounts, raising concerns about censorship and platform control.

On the technical side, new releases include LNVPS, Sats Converter 4.0, and Robosats v0.7.5 alpha, alongside BTC Sessions’ latest Liana tutorial, providing valuable insights for enthusiasts and developers alike.
