**_Bitcoin payments are coming to stores: integrated wallet and zero fees for merchants using Square Bitcoin._**
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On October 8, **Block**, the company led by **Jack Dorsey**, [announced](https://investors.block.xyz/investor-news/news-details/2025/Square-Brings-Bitcoin-to-Main-Street-With-First-Integrated-Payments-and-Wallet-Solution-for-Local-Businesses/default.aspx) the launch of **Square Bitcoin** – a new solution that allows merchants to accept bitcoin payments through the Square POS system.

Merchants using the Square Bitcoin network can convert their sales revenue into BTC and access an integrated wallet. Starting November 10, businesses will be able to accept bitcoin payments directly and convert **up to 50%** of their daily revenue into BTC.

To encourage adoption, the company will allow businesses to accept BTC directly from their POS terminals with no transaction fees for one year. In 2027, Square will begin charging a **1%** processing fee.

**Miles Suter**, Bitcoin Product Lead at Block, said:

> > “We’re making bitcoin payments as seamless as card payments while giving small businesses access to financial management tools that, until now, were only available to the largest corporations.”

The initiative, called _“Simplifying Bitcoin for Main Street,”_ aims to prepare merchants for the growing use of the asset as an everyday means of payment.

The integrated Bitcoin wallet within the Square system will allow merchants to buy, sell, withdraw, and manage their funds independently.

**_The UK’s central bank may ease restrictions on corporate stablecoin reserves following industry pushback._**
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[According](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-07/boe-plans-carveouts-on-stablecoin-cap-after-industry-backlash?srnd=phx-crypto) to _Bloomberg_, the **Bank of England** (BoE) is reconsidering its stance on the proposed limits for corporate **stablecoin** reserves and is exploring possible exemptions for companies that need to hold larger amounts of fiat-backed digital assets.

### **Reversal after industry pressure**

The BoE’s change of heart comes after strong criticism from the crypto industry and growing international competition. The **United States Congress** in particular has moved forward with clearer regulation through the **GENIUS Act**, which became law last July.

Initially, the Bank of England had proposed caps of **£20,000** (about $27,000) **for individuals** and **£10 million for companies**.

The stated goals were threefold: maintaining control over the money supply, protecting consumers, and preventing excessive reliance on privately issued digital currencies. While these limits might work for traditional businesses, crypto-native companies argue that such restrictions would severely constrain their operations.

These firms need to hold substantial stablecoin reserves to manage trading and liquidity. For this reason, the BoE is considering granting specific exemptions for such entities.

### **Governor Bailey’s change in tone**

BoE Governor **Andrew Bailey** had previously warned about the risks privately issued stablecoins could pose to financial stability and governments’ ability to conduct effective monetary policy.

However, in statements made last week, Bailey struck a more conciliatory tone, acknowledging that stablecoins could represent a useful innovation capable of coexisting within the broader financial system.

**_A new poll reveals that nearly two-thirds of American voters view candidates’ positions on cryptocurrencies as a decisive factor in elections._**
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A recent [survey](https://digitalchamber.org/crypto-voters-can-swing-elections/) conducted by **McLaughlin & Associates** in collaboration with **The Digital Chamber** has shed light on the relationship between digital assets and elections in the United States. According to the research, **64%** of voters believe a candidate’s stance on digital assets is an important element in their voting decision.

The survey also found that crypto investors place more trust in the **Republican Party** than in the Democrats when it comes to the development of the sector in the U.S.

Three-quarters of investors support the **Trump administration**’s approach to rolling back regulations and enforcement actions from the Biden era on digital assets – measures they believe would _“make it easier for cryptocurrencies to grow and expand in the United States.”_

### **Controversy and election debate**

The poll comes at a sensitive time for the U.S. government, with the federal shutdown now in its second week due to the lack of an agreement between Democrats and Republicans on two key government spending bills.

Democratic figures, including Senator **Elizabeth Warren**, have raised concerns about Trump’s ties to the digital asset sector, particularly in relation to **World Liberty Financial** (WLF).

_“In March 2025, WLF announced plans to launch USD1, ‘the stablecoin your wallet has been waiting for,’”_ Warren said in a statement earlier this year.

Warren emphasized that _“the launch of a stablecoin directly tied to a sitting President who can personally benefit from its success represents an unprecedented conflict of interest, posing significant threats to our financial system.”_

The tweet I quoted by Nikita Bier was making the rounds on Twitter last week. He was perplexed by the notion that bitcoin and gold prices have been rallying as individuals and institutions alike move their capital in preparation for a multi-polar world that will bring with it higher rates of inflation as governments and central banks turn to printing money and high fiscal deficits to paper over the problems they've created over the last five decades. How can bitcoin and gold buyers not see that AI is here, it's going to take over the world and it's going to be deflationary?!

The irony of the tweet is mind boggling when you consider the fact that a good portion of the stimulus and fiscal deficits described above will be driven by the desire to win the global AI arms race. Governments are going to issue debt, monetize existing debt, and subsidize the build out of grid infrastructure, data centers and on-shoring critical manufacturing capabilities. All of this will be inflationary. The end result may be that we can ping an LLM to do some deep research on a relatively complex subject and it will provide us with an extremely detailed report in minutes for a few cents. And yes, in the long-run, if these AI models continue to live up to the hype, may ultimately replace white collar jobs that cost companies hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. However, the additional productivity gains will be soundly overwhelmed by the amount of money printing that enables them in the first place.

How do I know this is the case? Because it has always been the case. The other ironic thing about Nikita's tweet is that he seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that tech has always been deflationary and we have witnessed awe inspiring levels of tech deflation over the course of centuries. Here's a picture of the first ever computer that was built by the US Army.

![Silicon Valley Doesn't Understand Money](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/10/Electronic-Numerical-Integrator-And-Computer.png)

The ENIAC

And here's some information about how big it was, how much computation it could handle, and how much it cost to make.

![Silicon Valley Doesn't Understand Money](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/10/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-9.42.04---PM.png)

via [simslifecycle.com](https://www.simslifecycle.com/blog/2022/the-journey-of-eniac-the-worlds-first-computer/?ref=tftc.io)

In today's inflation-adjusted dollars, it cost the US Army ~$8,000,000 to build this absolute unity in 1946. The ENIAC wouldn't be recognized as a computer by people living today. It would seem too dumb because computers have the luxury of using computers that are _checks notes_ **100 million to 1 billion** times faster than the ENIAC.

I bought a Mac Book a few weeks ago and it cost $1,000, or 0.0125% the cost of the ENIAC. That's insanely deflationary. And despite this incredible tech deflation, the cost of living has consistently risen over the course of my life and has been accelerating in recent years. The money printer is orders of magnitude stronger than the forces of tech-driven deflation. AI is not going to change that.

This chart was popular many years ago and it really drives home the problem. (I'd love to see this chart updated through the COVID years. I imagine it looks much worse.)

![Silicon Valley Doesn't Understand Money](https://www.tftc.io/content/images/2025/10/image.png)

Money printing perturbs capital allocation. When money is printed, it has to go somewhere. As you can see from the chart, the last 27 years has seen a flow of money from the monetary spigots into the market, which has driven up the costs for things that are deemed essential to life in 2025. Medical care, housing, education, food, and childcare. Saving some money on your big screen TV, smartphone and video games is nice, but it doesn't save you enough to be able to weather the forces of price increases in the highest ticket items that are essential to maintaining a life of dignity.

Tech deflation is certainly real, and it is certainly incredible for humanity. Unfortunately, humanity is not able to reap the full benefits of tech deflation because people are forced to fight the powerful forces of monetary inflation. If we want to live in a society where everyone has an exponentially higher chance of leading an extremely high quality life in which they can reap the full benefits offered by advances in technology, tech deflation needs to be paired with a deflationary money like bitcoin. As technology makes us more productive, expands the spectrum of potential goods and services that can be brought to the market relatively cheaply and pushes humanity forward, people should be able to buy more for less and save their excess productivity in a money that works for them, not against them.

Until then, all of the tech deflation we see in the market will be bitter sweet. We're advancing tremendously, but not everyone sees their quality of life advancing. They experience the exact opposite.

For some reason, it seems that most people in Silicon Valley do not understand this simple truth.

### Retail Investors Won't Drive Bitcoin's 2025 Rally Like They Did in 2017 and 2021

James Check raised a sobering observation about this market cycle: retail investors may not return with the fervor we saw in 2017 and 2021. The simple reality is that everyday Americans don't have the capital anymore. While institutions quietly accumulate Bitcoin through ETFs and sophisticated derivatives, regular people are drowning in rising costs. Health insurance premiums are spiking 25-60% across the country during this enrollment period. Germany just announced plans to raise retirement age to 72, with similar discussions happening here at 67. The quality of life for those without financial assets has deteriorated dramatically as real costs explode while wages stagnate.

> "I don't think retail has the money. I don't think they have the money to come." - [James Check](https://twitter.com/_Checkmatey_?ref=tftc.io)

This cycle is fundamentally different. The mania phase driven by retail FOMO may not materialize because retail simply lacks disposable income for speculative investments. Instead, we're witnessing something more profound: institutional recognition of Bitcoin's role in the debasement trade. While this may feel less exciting than previous cycles, it represents Bitcoin's maturation into a legitimate macro asset that doesn't need retail enthusiasm to appreciate.

tags: Ashigaru Whirlpool is a ZeroLink coinjoin implementation designed to sever all deterministic links between inputs and outputs, ensuring enhanced bitcoin transaction privacy.

content:
[Contribute to keep No Bullshit Bitcoin news going.](https://geyser.fund/project/nobsbitcoin)

*   The Ashigaru Open Source Project has released [Ashigaru Whirlpool](https://ashigaru.rs/news/announcement-whirlpool/), a version of Samourai Wallet’s Whirlpool, allowing users to join Zerolink coinjoins for enhanced Bitcoin transaction privacy.

> "This has been a huge undertaking and effort for the Ashigaru Open Source Project over the last 6 months, having to get familiar and comfortable with the extensive code base across multiple repositories. It is for this reason our development on Ashigaru mobile has been quieter and slower during this period, and for this we hope our users may now understand our justification as to why," was stated in a blog post.

*   Ashigaru Whirlpool retains the core coinjoin cycle design by Samourai’s TDevD, ZeroLeak, and OXT’s LaurentMT, with various protocol enhancements added by the Ashigaru Open Source Project.
*   Alongside the coordinator code, the [project has launched](https://ashigaru.rs/news/release-terminal-v1-0-0/) a desktop client terminal application (available on Linux, macOS, and Windows), forked from [Sparrow Terminal](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/sparrow-wallet-v1-7-0/).

[![Ashigaru Whirlpool and Terminal v1.0.0 Released](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/content/images/2025/06/image-6.png)](news/release-terminal-v1-0-0/)

Source: [Ashigaru blog.](https://ashigaru.rs/news/release-terminal-v1-0-0/)

*   Ashigaru Terminal is a non-custodial Whirlpool client that lets users join chosen pools, enhance their transaction anonymity, and retain full control of funds during coinjoin cycles, without needing a personal Dojo server.

![Ashigaru Whirlpool and Terminal v1.0.0 Released](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/content/images/2025/06/ashigarupool.jpg)

**NOTE:** _The_ [_Ashigaru.rs_](https://ashigaru.rs/) _website is the official home of the Ashigaru Open Source Project. The project does not maintain a presence on social media, and all second-hand information should be verified against the content on the official website._

What's new
----------

*   **Tor-Only Implementation**: Ashigaru Whirlpool operates exclusively over Tor, preventing clearnet connections to protect against IP address linking and wallet clustering by malicious coordinators.
*   **Tor identity isolation** is built in to prevent coordinators from linking session IDs across coinjoin stages, ensuring user network anonymity.
*   **Enhanced decentralization strategy:** The Tor-only setup eliminates DNS dependency and hides coordinator locations, supporting rapid deployment of new instances.

> "Our coordinator has been further modularized by eliminating the dependency of RPC connections to a local full node. The coordinator can therefore be connected to any Dojo full node over Tor, enabling faster deployment and recovery, minimal hardware resource requirements, and greater jurisdictional flexibility."

*   **Anti-Sybil Measures**: An Anti-Sybil fee, fixed at 5% of pool size, is charged for Tx0 broadcasts to enter pools, with a cap of 20 UTXOs per Tx0 for added Sybil resistance.
*   **Vulnerability Fixes**: RSA keys for Chaumian blinding are not sent to clients, mitigating potential input-output linking risks and building trust as a new development team.
*   **Output Restrictions**: Multisig addresses are barred as mix-to outputs in coinjoin cycles to maintain anonymity and compatibility with post-mix tools like Ashigaru mobile and Sparrow.
*   **Code Improvements**: Numerous under-the-hood fixes and optimizations have been made to Samourai’s forked codebase, including updated dependencies, enhanced performance, and architectural adjustments.
*   **Ashigaru Terminal**: Forked from Sparrow, Ashigaru Terminal defaults to .onion Electrum servers for privacy, with options for private server connections via Tor or clearnet.
    *   Only native SegWit Whirlpool account paths are supported for hot wallets, with mandatory BIP39 passphrases; unsupported wallet types include Legacy, Wrapped SegWit, Taproot, and multisig scripts.
    *   Tx0 fee estimation targets next-block confirmation, advising users to wait for lower rates if block space competition is high.

> "Remote and automatic update of Tor URLs for connecting to both Ashigaru Whirlpool and for transaction broadcast using our “Hanzaki” feature will be coming in a future release," was stated in a blog post.

Quick guide
-----------

*   Check out this [quick overview](https://k3tan.com/ashigaru-whirlpool/) by _k3tan_ to learn how to use the new Ashigaru Terminal:

> "My advice is to take a measured approach to this. This is new software and there may still be bugs. Start small, get comfortable, then level up progressively. Don't expect mixes straight away. It's important to be patient. Randomness of time intervals between mixes plays a role in obfuscating chainalysis. You should find using the interface overall quite responsive," [writes](https://k3tan.com/ashigaru-whirlpool/) k3tan.

*   Ashigaru Terminal is optimized for use with Sparrow Wallet, Ashigaru Mobile, and Samourai Wallet. These wallets support Whirlpool's unique account derivation paths and include spending tools tailored to maintain privacy during transactions from the pool.

What's new
----------

*   [**New RBF cooperative close flow**](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9610)**.** It uses RBF to enable either side to increase their fee rate using their _own_ channel funds. Channel peers must support the `option_simple_close` for this new protocol to work. This new feature can be activated with a new config flag: `--protocol.rbf-coop-close`.
    *   This feature isn't compatible with older LND versions; fee bumping with them uses CPFP. It already works with Eclair v0.12.0 or up, and should work with other implementations as they roll out support for this protocol. The protocol currently does not support Taproot channels and Taproot asset channels.
*   **Support for archiving channel backups** **in a specific folder for future reference.** It comes with a new config option, `disable-backup-archive` (default: `false`), to control whether previous backups are archived.
*   [**Support**](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8390) **for** [**experimental endorsement**](https://github.com/lightning/blips/pull/27) **signal relay.** Deployed experimentally to assist ongoing channel jamming research, it has _no impact_ on routing.
*   **Initial support for** [**quiescence**](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8270)**.** This protocol gadget is required for upcoming Dynamic Commitments and Splicing features.
*   **Historical Sync**: Fixed [a race condition](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9424) blocking initial sync due to syncer's internal state handling.
*   **Max Fee Rate** is [now respected](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9491) during cooperative close initiation for both parties, not just the remote party.
*   Lots of other [**bug fixes**](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.19.0.md#bug-fixes).
*   **Performance Improvements:**
    *   Limit outbound [gossip traffic bandwidth](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9607) with --gossip.msg-rate-bytes and --gossip.msg-rate-burst. Set burst to the maximum bytes transmittable without rate limiting, and rate to the ongoing permitted rate.

*   Ability to use ZSTD for log rotation.
*   [Remove redundant iteration](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9496) over a node's persisted channels when updating the graph cache with a new node or node update.

*   **Functional Enhancements:**
    *   [Add pagination](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8998) for wallet transactions.
    *   [Make](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9562) `MaxWaitNumBlocksFundingConf` configurable for faster test timeouts, with a default of 2016 blocks for production.
    *   Change sweeper to [attempt sweeps](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9627) if the budget is partially covered, preventing delays and high fees.
    *   [Validate](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9603) MPP parameters before payment to avoid path finding loops and timeouts.
*   **Functional Updates:**
    *   Enable [log compression](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9017) with ZSTD using the logging.file.compressor argument.
    *   [Enhance SCB file](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8183) with more data for last-resort rescue when a peer is unavailable.
    *   Update channel.backup file at shutdown in LND.
    *   Introduce [chainio subsystem](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9315) to sync subsystems with the current best block, fixing delays in HTLC sweeping due to block height discrepancies in ChainArbitrator, UtxoSweeper, and TxPublisher. Click [here](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/chainio/README.md) to learn more.
    *   Sweeper now uses [configured budget values](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9274) for HTLCs with `--sweeper.budget.deadlinehtlcratio` and `--sweeper.budget.deadlinehtlc`.
    *   Consider blockbeat dispatcher height [when checking](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9501) if lnd is synced to chain.
    *   Allocate restricted slots for peers via [\--num-restricted-slots](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9458).
    *   Added support for bitcoin [testnet4](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9620).

    *   Add [\--no-disconnect-on-pong-failure option](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9801) (default: false) to manage peer disconnection on pong failure or mismatch.
*   **RPC Additions and Updates.** Some RPCs that previously returned an empty response now provide a [short status message](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/7762) to help command line users confirm successful execution or background initiation. The following CLI commands no longer return an empty response ({}):

    *   `lncli wallet releaseoutput` (`WalletKit.ReleaseOutput` RPC)
    *   `lncli wallet accounts import-pubkey` (`WalletKit.ImportPublicKey` RPC)

    *   `lncli restorechanbackup` (`Lightning.RestoreChannelBackups` RPC)
    *   `lncli verifychanbackup` (`Lightning.VerifyChanBackup` RPC)

    *   The ForwardInterceptor's MODIFY option now [merges](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9240) custom range TLVs with existing HTLC records, overwriting conflicting values with API-supplied ones.
    *   [Make](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9405) ProofMatureDelta in gossip configurable via --gossip.announcement-conf, defaulting to 6.
    *   [Add LockedIn boolean field](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9602) to lnrpc.HTLC to show if an HTLC is locked in by the remote peer.
    *   [Allow custom lock ID and duration in FundPsbt](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9724) RPC.
    *   Extend [lnrpc.RPCMiddlewareRequest](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9739) to include [gRPC metadata](https://grpc.io/docs/guides/metadata) pairs from the initial request's context.Context.
    *   [Updated](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9772) `PendingSweeps` to return all registered outputs in the RPC response, regardless of future locktime, enabling planning for upcoming sweeps and custom aggregation logic. Added `MaturityHeight` field to `PendingSweep` for absolute locktime value.
    *   [Add BumpForceCloseFee RPC endpoint](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8843), moving lncli functionality to LND for broader accessibility.
    *   Enhance walletrpc.FundPsbt with an option to [set fees as sat\_per\_kw](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9013) for greater precision.
    *   [Add a new option in walletrpc.FundPsbt](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8600) to specify the maximum fee-to-output amounts ratio.
    *   [Sort](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9337) lnrpc.Invoice.Htlcs by InvoiceHTLC.HtlcIndex in the list invoices RPC response.
    *   Set a [default 60-second timeout](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9359) for routerrpc.SendPaymentV2 when timeout\_seconds is unset or 0.
    *   Include [custom\_channel\_data for custom channels](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9504) in lnrpc.ClosedChannels response.
*   **lncli updates and additions:**
    *   Allow [pre-generated macaroon root key](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9172) in lncli create and lncli createwatchonly for deterministic macaroon generation.
    *   [Add --sat\_per\_kw flag](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9013) to lncli wallet fundpsbt for precise fee rate specification.
    *   Include [\--max\_fee\_ratio argument](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/8600) in lncli wallet fundpsbt to set maximum fee-to-output amounts ratio.
    *   [Enhance](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9390) lncli listchannels and lncli closedchannels output with human-readable short channel ID and BOLT02 channel ID; rename chan\_id to scid for accuracy.
    *   Initiate cooperative close flow in [coop close case](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9491) even with active HTLCs, disabling the channel for new HTLCs and starting the flow when no HTLCs remain.

content:
*   This version introduces the [Soroban](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/whirlpool-dencetralization-stage-1/) P2P network, enabling Dojo to relay transactions to the Bitcoin network and share others' transactions to break the heuristic linking relaying nodes to transaction creators.

[![Samourai Dojo v1.27.0: Soroban Network, PandoTx, API Key Management](https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/content/images/2025/05/image-13.png)](https://xcancel.com/PavelTheCoder/status/1925673526255665415)

*   Additionally, Dojo admins can now manage API keys in DMT with labels, status, and expiration, ideal for community Dojo providers like [Dojobay](https://dojobay.pw/). New API endpoints, including "/services" exposing Explorer, Soroban, and Indexer, have been added to aid wallet developers.
*   Other maintenance updates include Bitcoin Core, Tor, Fulcrum, Node.js, plus an updated ban-knots script to disconnect inbound Knots nodes.

> "I want to thank all the contributors. This again shows the power of true Free Software. I also want to thank everyone who donated to help Dojo development going. I truly appreciate it," [said](https://xcancel.com/PavelTheCoder/status/1925609421746389035) Still Dojo Coder.

What's new
----------

*   **Soroban P2P network.** For MyDojo (Docker setup) users, Soroban will be automatically installed as part of their Dojo. This integration allows Dojo to utilize the Soroban P2P network for various upcoming features and applications.
*   **PandoTx.** PandoTx serves as a transaction transport layer. When your wallet sends a transaction to Dojo, it is relayed to a random Soroban node, which then forwards it to the Bitcoin network. It also enables your Soroban node to receive and relay transactions from others to the Bitcoin network and is designed to disrupt the assumption that a node relaying a transaction is closely linked to the person who initiated it.
    *   Pushing transactions through Soroban can be deactivated by setting `NODE_PANDOTX_PUSH=off` in `docker-node.conf`.
    *   Processing incoming transactions from Soroban network can be deactivated by setting `NODE_PANDOTX_PROCESS=off` in `docker-node.conf`.
*   **API key management** has been introduced to address the growing number of people offering their Dojos to the community. Dojo admins can now access a new API management tab in their DMT, where they can create unlimited API keys, assign labels for easy identification, and set expiration dates for each key. This allows admins to avoid sharing their main API key and instead distribute specific keys to selected parties.
*   **New API endpoints.** Several new API endpoints have been added to help API consumers develop features on Dojo more efficiently:
    *   New:
        *   `/latest-block` - returns data about latest block
        *   `/txout/:txid/:index` - returns unspent output data
        *   `/support/services` - returns info about services that Dojo exposes
    *   Updated:
        *   `/tx/:txid` - endpoint has been updated to return raw transaction with parameter `?rawHex=1`
    *   The new `/support/services` endpoint replaces the deprecated `explorer` field in the Dojo pairing payload. Although still present, API consumers should use this endpoint for explorer and other pairing data.

### Other changes

*   Updated ban script to disconnect inbound Knots nodes.
*   Updated Fulcrum to v1.12.0.
*   Regenerate Fulcrum certificate if expired.
*   Check if transaction already exists in pushTx.
*   Bump BTC-RPC Explorer.
*   Bump Tor to v0.4.8.16, bump Snowflake.
*   Updated Bitcoin Core to v29.0.
*   Removed unnecessary middleware.
*   Fixed DB update mechanism, added api\_keys table.
*   Add an option to use blocksdir config for bitcoin blocks directory.
*   Removed deprecated configuration.
*   Updated Node.js dependencies.
*   Reconfigured container dependencies.
*   Fix Snowflake git URL.
*   Fix log path for testnet4.
*   Use prebuilt addrindexrs binaries.
*   Add instructions to migrate blockchain/fulcrum.
*   Added pull policies.
