SATWEI summary
Erick Cestari explains two Eclair memory bugs in the channel-opening handshake on the #427 recap, one caught by Matt Morehouse's fuzzer and the other with an LLM. Adam Gibson then presents LN-GAP, whose example is a chess game played inside a Lightning channel. Bitcoin Core 32.0rc4 and a batch of Eclair fixes come later in the show.

Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #429 Recap Podcast
Greg Sanders, Antoine Poinsot, Elias Rohrer, Oleksandr Kurbatov and Nishant Bansal join the Optech hosts for the #429 recap, which starts with Bitcoin Core #36665, #36667 and #36669 before moving to the updated security policy. Multiparty silent payments, a Core Lightning DoS disclosure and Eclair 0.14.6 come later; the transcript is still pending.

Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #429
A channel announcement naming the same node at both ends could crash Core Lightning 25.02 through 26.04 on every restart, at a cost to the attacker of only onchain fees; the fix landed in 26.04.1. Newsletter #429 pairs that disclosure with Oleksandr Kurbatov's protocol for multiparty silent payment inputs and Bitcoin Core's faster point releases for easily discoverable bugs.
