This should be the last big re-write , but really proud of this work.

I finally got keymeld (MuSig2 in AWS enclaves) to survive restarts.
The core problem: every time an enclave restarts, it loses its master keypair. That keypair is what decrypts participant private keys during keygen—so losing it means all your encrypted session data in SQLite becomes useless. Participants would have to re-register and regenerate aggregate keys from scratch. Not acceptable for production.

The solution is AWS KMS envelope encryption. On first boot, KMS generates a Data Encryption Key (DEK). The enclave encrypts its master private key with that DEK using AES-256-GCM, then stores both the KMS-encrypted DEK and the DEK-encrypted master key in SQLite. On restart, the enclave sends the encrypted DEK back to KMS, gets the plaintext DEK, decrypts the master key, and replays completed keygen sessions from the database to restore state.

What I didn’t expect: stress testing this with 100+ parallel sessions completely broke things. VSock connections under heavy load turned out to be unreliable—connections dropping, timeouts everywhere. Ended up building a proper connection pool with health checks and auto-reconnection.
But the bigger rewrite was the concurrency model. The original architecture had too much shared state and locking. Ripped that out, reduced shared state, and converted many commands to batched versions. Much higher throughput now.

The result: 1000 parallel adaptor signature sessions with 3 signers each, completing in ~4 minutes. Worth the pain.

Also added proper testing infrastructure “just test-kms-e2e”restarts enclaves and verifies the keys survived, “just stress adaptor 100” hammers it with parallel sessions. Local dev uses Moto to mock KMS.

Single signing support is next. 👀

Getting to this point has been a grind but I have successfully broadcasted a dlctix funding transaction that merges funds from escrow transactions (which were atomically swapped from hodl invoices) on mutinynet.

The transaction:

https://mempool.space/tx/1e81e3ad0dc49270a39ac4eea29fb3c2d572a1ae412ef8037abbe60a8c59e26b?mode=details

The site I have running https://www.5day4cast.com/ that bitcoincoderbob (nprofile…09eh) and I created the dlctix contract to see who can predict the weather better.

Hopefully I win the 5000sat bet 👀

Instead of removing the datacarrier flag, we have the onchain data to see what’s a reasonable default that allows the majority of transactions to propagate, maybe that’s a palatable step towards reducing the delta between corporate miner mempools and regular node mempools?

2025-04-05T19:02:07Z

Ngl something that makes me as nervous about the mempool accelerators affect on the accuracy of fee estimation from a regular bitcoin core node are the plans of a futures market for block space. This will distort the accuracy of what it cost to get a transaction mined within a given range of blocks as these futures pricing and timing will most likely be private between a large miner and a service provider. Making it quite difficult for applications/protocols that require get a block mined within a given range to actually accomplish this goal. Especially if something in that futures market acts is a surprising way (flood of futures transactions all coming due at the same time pushing out what would normally get included just looking at one’s own mempool estimation). Something to think about when building new or expanding existing protocols, you may not be able to get your transaction mined within a given range just based on the data feed from the “spot market” (price from the mempool), you’ll need some way to know what future contracts are settling at a given price to see what is truly required.

In the spirit of "building in the open" here's a fuzzy video show 3 users entering into a competition, creating an aggregate signature via musig2 and broadcasting the funding transaction of a dlctix contract after the coordinator's wallet successfully signs it. Next will be getting the payout out functionality working/hooked up along with a nostr public chat group.

Once the features have all landed, and there's been a bit of code clean up, all the code will be open sourced

I think dlctix sweet spot for a viable product will be person to person future contracts used as way to hedge risk in people’s lives and businesses, this is something the traditional financial system doesn’t really support in any meaningful way. Future contracts are really a product used by much larger institutions to hedge risk, which the traditional financial system optimized for, but these sorts of products could be useful if package in a clean UX.

I’ve decided I’m going to open source this project I’ve been grinding on that is a coordinator for a dlctix competition around weather predictions. Basically users will create entries for a few points of predictions across a number of cities and compete against others in the competition for coin (flow feels similar to daily fantasy sports). The coordinator can be fully untrusted and is non-custodial of users funds. Payouts can be on-chain or lightning and entry fees are paid in lightning. The competitions is a dlc contract on chain and the competition outcome is determine by an oracle that attests to who won. Code is still actively being worked on and not really just yet to release it, but keep an eye out, more to come soon 👀

After listening to the lastest RabbitHoleRecap (npub10ut…xdlq) just want to state it's not trivial to do accounting on lightning nodes. There are edge cases that get hairy around on-chain and lightning fees, can be done but typically requires an external service/added plugin to keep track of your lightning node's historical data and plugging in information from on-chain to get a full picture. The node software itself tries to limit the amount of state it keeps so that it can operater better and stay leaner. This is a bigger problem for larger nodes that have had a ton of state go across them. Just my 2sats

Not sure if someone has already done this, but something that would be nice to have is a plug & play library to setup a "public chat room" thats application specific (so not the global feed) on nostr that could be use in applications. Think like the stream of messages that happen in a gaming lobby or gambling site, not having to re-invent the wheel whenever someone wants to make it possible for their users to communicate with each other would be a real win.

Realizing multi-party bets are still a hard thing to pull off in ...

2024-01-20T15:16:39Z

Realizing multi-party bets are still a hard thing to pull off in a non-custiodal way in bitcoin, especially at scale.

One could do a DLC, but then you have a large amount of data has to be communicted between each participant before the transaction is broadcasted. Not to mention the fees would make small bets (think less than a dollar) not a viable possibility. The amount of data grows nearly exponentially as the number of participants grows, there are some cool math tricks there to try to shink the amount of data needed for determining the payout path, but this doesn't seem like it would work for say a 1000 person competition style bet.

One could go the hodl invoice route of having each participant pay invoices for all possible payout routes then have a central node where all the payments go through funnel where the payments go at bet completetion. The node would cancel the payout routes that lost and allow the winning ones to pass through. But this brings in a lot of issues with lightning state and if you're bet is a long window of time there's a high likelihood of things going sideways (think force closures along payout routes).

It seems there might be hope here to do this in a less custiodal way via fedimint? The prediction market module seems interesting, but not sure how it handles orcale type data, ie an attestation about the outcome of whatever is being predicted/bet on.

Going to keep thinking on this, if anyone has ideas around this I'm all ears.

Spent the weekend building a tool to work with noaa (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) data. Thinking I may expand it to work as an orcale for DLCs or something like that, but was really just a way for me to learn about duckdb (the database is IN the browser!).

Take a peek at the tool:

Source:

Once I've collected enough data I should be able to tell how well NOAA is at predicting weather for different locations, I've always wanted to know if there's any patterns there.

2023-12-09T00:16:40Z

Something that may go unnoticed, there are far more devs working on bitcoin/lightning/nostr than our community really knows about. The silent ones thinking through their next idea, not ready to share it just yet. Or don’t have a large reach.

What gets me excited is knowing there are people out there working on the same protocols I am, but we don’t even know each other exist. There’s something wondering about human action in the aggregate, when it’s focused on such powerful tools for the common man.

Does anyone know why it’s “bad” for a bitcoin miner to also be a lightning routing node? ie. Are there possible exploits a miner is able to do to its peers/channel partners that are not possible for regular routing nodes? I feel like I’ve heard “don’t just a miner that’s also a routing node” but don’t quite remember why, will sling some sats around to whoever has a solid answer
