BIP54 - Consensus Cleanup
2026-11-21 –, Momentum - Hack Zone Stage

Since 2009, Bitcoin has contained four known consensus vulnerabilities that have never been fixed. BIP54 "Consensus Cleanup" proposes changes to address them. In this talk, I'll walk through each vulnerability and explain the potential impact.

Providing Guidance on Bitcoin Self-Custody

As a mathematician, I'm used to working on systems where reliability really matters. After years of leading AI and software teams, I realised that our core problem is not a lack of innovation or compassion, it's how we store value, and more importantly, how we control it.

In the traditional system, we hand over control to banks. With Bitcoin, the rule is simple: 'Not your keys, not your coins.' But true ownership isn't just about holding a seed phrase; it's about having a reliable plan for the future. Too many people lose their savings to hackers, lose their seed phrase, or leave their families unable to access funds when unforeseen circumstances arise.

These are the reasons why I decided to close this gap by building practical safety nets.
