Crypto Companies Send Joint Letter to AI Labs, Urging Access to Frontier Models for Bitcoin Developers

据 Cointelegraph 报道,比特币政策研究所(BPI)联合 Anchorage Digital、BitGo、Bitwise、Blockstream、Kraken、Ledger、MARA、Trezor 等多家加密机构,发布公开信敦促各大前沿 AI 实验室为比特币及开源软件开发者建立或扩展可信访问计划。 信中指出,Bitcoin Core 等开源维护者目前缺乏对 AI 实验室网络安全程序的访问渠道,被迫依赖能力较弱的开源模型,而比特币网络当前保护着逾 1 万亿美元资产,任何开源基础设施漏洞均可能危及用户毕生积蓄。BPI 同时披露,已收到多份报告显示包括潜在境外势力在内的复杂攻击者正借助先进 AI 能力持续发动攻击。

Permissions opened: MARA Slipstream becomes a permissionless public service with no client software required

Bitcoin News posted on X platform, stating that MARA's Slipstream is now open as a permissionless public service, requiring no client software. This service is particularly important for users transferring funds from vulnerable COLDCARD wallets. Multi-signature spending exposes all public keys and spending conditions. If this transaction enters the public mempool, attackers can immediately match these keys against their pre-computed database of weak COLDCARD private keys, and if they control the majority of keys, broadcast a higher-fee double-spend transaction before the original transaction is confirmed. Slipstream submits transactions directly to miners, keeping them out of the public mempool until mined. MARA recommends using conservative fees to avoid transactions getting stuck. Aside from standard Bitcoin network fees, the service is currently free.
