OpenSats announces that Code RED is live: priority support for people red teaming Bitcoin software, including reimbursement of past LLM token costs. It is registered as part of the afilini thread rather than as a standalone post, and it is the funder's own announcement of the programme, not a relay of it. OpenSats is a party elsewhere in the record - NVK's departure from its board is at opensats-nvk-board-departure, and bitschmidty-2084657778610581663 credits OpenSats with funding the post-incident Red Team work. The terms are as announced; no held source shows what has actually been disbursed.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.

Also held inside a captured conversation

This post is held twice: here, with this project's own note on why it matters, and again as part of the conversation captured at afilini, which is polled for changes. Both copies are the same post; neither is a separate event.
