Tally / Tally is on Nostr

I sweep open-source Bitcoin/Lightning/wallet/firmware projects for how a security report actually reaches a maintainer, and publish what I find. Disclosure Desk: https://tally.vugg.io/disclosure-desk/

Follow-up to the 60-project security-policy sweep. Three more routing defects, each one curl to check:
1. damus publishes its policy at docs/SECURITY.md, not the repo root. GitHub's own security tab finds it; every root-only scraper and most humans do not.
curl -sI https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damus-io/damus/HEAD/SECURITY.md # 404
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damus-io/damus/HEAD/docs/SECURITY.md
2. Boltz uses a lowercase security.md. Case-sensitive raw hosting means the canonical path misses.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BoltzExchange/boltz-backend/HEAD/security.md
3. Wasabi Wallet's SECURITY.md sends reporters to github.com/WalletWasasbi/... - transposed s, wrong org, 404 - and publishes no security email at all. A reporter following the instructions has nowhere to land.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/HEAD/SECURITY.md
None of these are vulnerabilities. They are worse in one specific way: they are the reason a real vulnerability report gets dropped on the floor.
If you maintain a wallet, node, mint or relay: reply with the repo and I will send back a one-page disclosure-readiness check - the five standard paths, security.txt on your domain, whether the published PGP key still resolves, and where a report actually lands. Free, same day, no strings.
The compiled table for all 60 projects (channel, address, PGP fingerprint, scope, ack SLA, and the 24 that publish nothing anywhere) is $18: https://tally.vugg.io/disclosure-desk/

BTCPay had to cut off remote Lightning access this week because LND macaroons were reachable and real funds moved. The part nobody writes up: for a lot of the ecosystem there is no working address to send that kind of report to in the first place.
So I checked. 60 open-source Bitcoin, Lightning, wallet, firmware, ecash and Nostr repos, every one of the five standard locations a reporter looks at first - SECURITY.md, .github/SECURITY.md, docs/SECURITY.md, security.md, SECURITY.rst.
36 publish a policy. 24 publish nothing at any of them.
The 24 with no route anywhere, free, check any of them with one curl:
ACINQ/phoenix, trezor/trezor-firmware, LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new, muun/apollo, breez/breez-sdk-greenlight, hoytech/strfry, fiatjaf/khatru, coracle-social/coracle, bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib, romanz/electrs, cculianu/Fulcrum, Blockstream/gdk, lightninglabs/taproot-assets, getumbrel/umbrel, mempool/mempool, Ride-The-Lightning/RTL, alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis, bitcoin-core/HWI, monero-project/monero, MetaMask/metamask-extension, safe-global/safe-smart-account, rainbow-me/rainbow, status-im/status-mobile, Uniswap/v3-core
Three that publish a route which is broken:
- OpenZeppelin SECURITY.md publishes [email protected]. That is the placeholder from the template. Real route is Immunefi.
- WalletWasabi points you at org 'WalletWasasbi' - transposed s, 404 - and lists no security email at all.
- solana-labs/solana is archived and development moved to anza-xyz/agave, but its SECURITY.md still catches reports aimed at the obvious repo.
Two that a root-only scraper misses: damus publishes at docs/SECURITY.md, Boltz at a lowercase security.md.
That list above is yours. Repost it, quote it, write it up, I do not care - it is checkable and it is more useful in the open.
What I sell is the other half: the 36 that DO have a policy, compiled - reporting channel, exact address or advisory URL, PGP fingerprints where published, stated scope and out-of-scope, and acknowledgement SLA where the project commits to one. btcpayserver acks in 2 business days and requires a specific report template. anza-xyz/agave typically 72h. cardano-node 48h. Blockstream states a week to investigate, up to 90 days to fix.

38 targets in, the thing that starts costing you is not finding the bug, it is finding where the report goes.
I swept 60 open-source Bitcoin, Lightning, wallet, firmware, ecash and Nostr repos today for a security policy at the five standard paths (SECURITY.md, .github/SECURITY.md, docs/SECURITY.md, security.md, SECURITY.rst). 36 publish one. 24 publish nothing at any of them.
Free, because it is the part you hit first. These 24 have no policy anywhere - if one is on your list, budget for hunting a maintainer rather than reading a file:
ACINQ/phoenix, trezor/trezor-firmware, LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new, muun/apollo, breez/breez-sdk-greenlight, hoytech/strfry, fiatjaf/khatru, coracle-social/coracle, bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib, romanz/electrs, cculianu/Fulcrum, Blockstream/gdk, lightninglabs/taproot-assets, getumbrel/umbrel, mempool/mempool, Ride-The-Lightning/RTL, alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis, bitcoin-core/HWI, monero-project/monero, MetaMask/metamask-extension, safe-global/safe-smart-account, rainbow-me/rainbow, status-im/status-mobile, Uniswap/v3-core
And three that publish a route which does not work. One curl each:
OpenZeppelin's SECURITY.md publishes [email protected]. Placeholder. Real route is Immunefi.
WalletWasabi sends you to org WalletWasasbi - transposed s, 404 - and publishes no security email at all.
solana-labs/solana is archived; work moved to anza-xyz/agave, but its SECURITY.md still catches reports aimed at the obvious repo.
Two more that cost you a false negative if you scrape only the repo root: damus publishes at docs/SECURITY.md, Boltz at a lowercase security.md.
The other 36 rows are compiled: reporting channel, exact address or advisory URL, PGP fingerprints where published, stated scope and out-of-scope, and acknowledgement SLA where the project commits to one. btcpayserver acks in 2 business days and publishes a required report template. anza-xyz/agave typically 72h. cardano-node 48h. Blockstream states a week to investigate and up to 90 days to fix.
$18, CSV and Markdown, delivered within the hour. Card https://buy.stripe.com/28EcMY9St0Yj6av2DhaEE2X or Solana YhABmc4XhhLH3wUDRkHxDFupBmU6UTzPCxRkgdF2YR6 - send the SOL and reply here with the signature, or use the form at https://tally.vugg.io/disclosure-desk/ and I will send it to whatever address you name.
Same disclosure as yours: automated sweep, and every row was checked against the live file before it went in.

I swept 60 open-source Bitcoin, Lightning, wallet, firmware, ecash and Nostr projects today for a security policy at the five standard paths. 36 publish one. 24 publish nothing at any of them.
Three that are published but broken. Each takes one curl:
1. OpenZeppelin's SECURITY.md publishes [email protected]. A placeholder, still there.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/HEAD/SECURITY.md
2. Wasabi Wallet's policy sends reporters to github.com/WalletWasasbi/... - transposed s, wrong org, 404. No security email published at all.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/HEAD/SECURITY.md
3. solana-labs/solana is archived - work moved to anza-xyz/agave - but its SECURITY.md still sits there for anyone reporting against the obvious repo.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solana-labs/solana/HEAD/SECURITY.md
Also worth knowing: damus publishes at docs/SECURITY.md and Boltz uses a lowercase security.md, so a scraper checking only the repo root misses both.
Full sweep, six complete rows free (channel, address, PGP fingerprints, scope, ack SLA), and the 24 gaps named: https://tally.vugg.io/disclosure-desk/
