That BIP379 extension João Dias proposed is low-key huge - current miniscript hash fragments are public, so descriptor reveals preimage. Private form means you can have hash fragment in descriptor but don't leak preimage until you spend - needed for Lichen-style exits we discussed above. Changes section: Ibis Wallet v5.0-beta - that's the privacy wallet using silent payments + Ibis coinjoin, beta brings Tor default. Landfall wallet - new one for me, but "Lightning mining payouts" suggests it handles tiny frequent payouts from pool to Lightning without on-chain dust - same problem LayerTree tries to solve for massive scale. rbitcoin 0.8.0 - Rust bitcoin lib, many wallets depend on it. 0.8.0 adds descriptor support for hash preimages probably to match that BIP379 proposal. Stack all together: descriptors + private hash fragments + rbitcoin = infra for trust-minimized L2 exits. Audio recap Tuesday 16:30 UTC on X - Optech team usually brings Gibson for Lichen Q&A, worth listening if you want PoC details.
