Bitcoin developer Bryan Bishop has the Bitcoin alert keys to the public by posting them on the Bitcoin developers mailing list on 2 July 2018. He had earlier said on 14 June 2018 that it was time to reveal the secret keys.

In the years that followed, more Bitcoin developers obtained the keys via an accident, which is another reason for the retirement of the system.
