Do any of you guys read the Bitcoin Devs newsletter?

I'm aware of it and I do read it from time to time. But to be a contributor? Nah, it's too much technical aspects and it's going to be very hard to understand it at my point of view.

Last time I read about the vulnerabilities affect versions of Bitcoin Core before (and not including) 25.0.

So for sure there will be another released in the future to cover this one.

FYI, they've moved from Linux Foundation mailing to Google Groups. You can see it on https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev.

And today i found news which state Linux Foundation mailing[1] is dead, where all (not only Bitcoin mailing) past discussion removed. Although some people have made backup/archive which can be accessed publicly[2] .

For those of you that do know about it, do you read the list? And how often? I will assume that most are not regular contributors, but have you ever wrote to the list before?

This is my first time of hearing of a mailing list for bitcoin developers. I think this will interest more the guys that are technically inclined and know more about the technical aspect of bitcoin itself. I am sure only few knows about this because the larger community of bitcoin adopters are not technically oriented and are just into the technology because of the opportunities it renders; decentralization, privacy and security concerns of their assets by themselves. It will be great to brainstorm there but only if you’re technically knowledgeable.

The mailing list used by Bitcoin Developer has been around for around 15 years.
And now it's switched from Linux to Google (https://groups.google.com/group/bitcoindev)

You can get several archives of the cryptography mailing list used by Satoshi, including here:

You can also get newsletters related to Bitcoin, including here:
