Bitcoin Core v32.1: a deeper look
First, why no 32.0?
It was tagged on October 21 but never fully announced or released. A remotely triggerable TCP crash was reported on October 23 and 32.1 shipped on October 27 (yesterday) with that fix and two others.
I'll dig into the security updates, but this release also represents months of testing, maintenance, and work to make Bitcoin easier to verify and use.
What went into these v32.1 changes and what do Bitcoin users get from them?

The binaries on our website are build independently and signed by five people. These signatures mean that binaries match with the public source code. Learn how GPG signatures work, and how to verify them. This protects you in case our website (or X account) has been hacked.

New release: Electrum 4.8.3. This release fixes a critical security issue, so we urge all users to upgrade. A description of the vulnerability will be published later today. (note: Windows Defender may show a warning about ZXing.dll, ignore that, it is a false positive)

I used the electrum plugin for joinmarket in 2016. The plugin is not maintained since ~10 years and I revived it today.
It now works with joinmarket-ng and I’ve fixed several bugs.

Not your keys, not your coins.
Not your lightning channels, not your coins.
Not your federated sidechain, not your coins.
Verify the software you use.
Use software that verifies instead of trusting.

PSA: There might be a chain split tomorrow, caused by BIP-110 nodes. If you use the "connect only to a single server" setting of Electrum, your client will not be able to detect the fork. Do not use this option with a server you do not trust.

6) lastly, I’ve got a stack to start over …. I don’t like acquiring things unearned! If any Canadians are interested, I make high quality beef jerky, I offer money back guarantee, I use clean beef, clean ingredients and I’m proud of what we make!

It's been 6 months since we decentralized #lightning swaps. Today, 9 liquidity providers are competing for Electrum swaps.

It’s when the project makers could have a “bug” in the entropy generation for later retrieval.

I think we can use STM32 UIDs to identify legitimate coin owners, in the event of a white-hat temporarily moving funds. Only the owner can provide a physical device with the right UID matching the mnemonic
