Solanas offline-signing proposal would keep approvals valid after failed transactions

Solana‘s plan to retire durable nonces, which let transactions be signed offline and broadcast later, would preserve cold-key approval while changing which addresses control the affected assets. For exchanges, custodians and treasury operators using that signing method, the proposed replacement adds a program between the cold key’s approval and execution.  Related Asset Solana #7 SOL · $107.96 24-hour change: down 3.48% Loading price history… 24H Down 3.48% 7D Down 9.71% 30D Up 5.78%  The Solana Foundations October deprecation plan points to onchain signer programs that verify an offline signature and execute its approved instructions. A program-derived address, or PDA, would control the affected accounts. The original key would still authorize actions, while a separate online operator submits them and pays the network fee.  The replacement creates a different custody architecture: operators must migrate the relevant assets or permissions, applications must accept actions arriving through another program, and risk teams must approve the new signing path.  Durable nonces remain usable. The Foundation has not set a removal date or made a final choice between Anza‘s Programmatic Signer and Blueshift’s Vector. Its roughly six-month migration window is conditional on a suitable replacement being ready, audited and live on mainnet.  The key keeps approving, but the account changes  Durable

Bitcoin miners face widening AI financing costs as lenders scrutinize deals

Bitcoin mining companies expanding into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing face sharply different borrowing costs as lenders scrutinize large-scale data center projects, adding to the industrys growing financing challenges.  According to the latest Miner Weekly newsletter from BlocksBridge Consulting, securing major AI customers has only been part of the challenge for miners. Companies must also raise billions of dollars to purchase computing equipment, build facilities and secure the power infrastructure needed to fulfill their contracts.  “[B]ig lenders have become more selective about data center loans and decisions increasingly depend on the customer, the contract and the path to completion,” BlocksBridge said.  IREN, which has expanded from Bitcoin mining into AI infrastructure, illustrates the differences in financing costs. The company secured a $3.65 billion GPU financing package in June at a blended interest rate of 6%, followed by a separate $2.4 billion financing arrangement in August at a fixed rate of 9%. The two agreements cover different projects, so theyre not directly comparable, but they show how borrowing costs can vary even within the same company.  Financing arrangements can also carry costs beyond interest payments. In a separate transaction involving Cipher Digital, Google agreed to backstop $1.4 billion in lease obligations in exchange for warrants

Eclair merges fixes for Lightning flaws that could burn Bitcoin in fees

Eclair, ACINQs Lightning node software, has merged two repairs for gaps that could make a node lose Bitcoin through excessive mining fees during channel funding and splicing. One limits a peers fee-bump demands when Eclair contributes funds; the other checks transactions from a compromised Bitcoin backend while Eclair retains the signing keys.  The repairs merged into the projects master branch on Oct. 2 and Oct. 5. As of Oct. 12, its release page still listed Septembers v0.14.3 as latest. The two October fixes postdate that packaged release.  Bitcoin Optechs Oct. 9 newsletter highlighted both changes as closing protection gaps during dual funding and splicing.  Related Asset Bitcoin BTC · $82,457.16 24-hour change: down 1.71%  The first repair, PR #3388, concerns peer-initiated replace-by-fee, or RBF, attempts during a dual-funded channel opening or a splice that adjusts a channels funding. A peer could request a replacement transaction with a higher fee rate. Eclair kept its wallet contribution and paid for its inputs at that rate, without an upper bound or fee budget on this path.  That let a malicious peer impose an arbitrary mining fee rate on the contributing node while contributing nothing itself. The loss would be paid as fees to miners rather than transferred directly
