Is it safe to use a private key for an existing singlesig wallet as one of the keys for a new multisig wallet?
The single-sig wallet will still work. Each key can be used in multiple wallets (singlesig or multisig) without interfering with the others. However, for a more secure multisig setup, it's usually better to generate sepa...
What does it mean that the security of Bitcoin public keys and 256-bit ECDSA is 128 bits?
What does it mean that the security of 256-bit ECDSA, and therefore Bitcoin keys, is 128 bits? I mean, if I have approximately 2^256 possible points on the elliptic curve (thus possible public keys), and therefore privat...
How can vulnerabilites in bitcoin be responsibly reported?
Information on current (ie, not past/public/resolved) security issues should be sent to the private [email protected] mailing list. The SourceForge list is now obsolete and defunct. If you're using t...
Is 24 words seed safer than 12 words in terms of bruteforcing the private key
Regardless of whether you have a passphrase or not 12 words is just as secure as 24 words because the resulting public key will still require 2^128 iterations to compute its private key using the most efficient algorithm...
Does a clearnet connection to my lightning node not require a TLS certificate?
Lightning network connections do not use TLS or certificates at all, as far as I know (note that this may be different for other types of connections, like RPC). To explain why, let us look at how they are used in the HT...
