Microsoft Launches Copilot Enterprise
GitHub, a Microsoft subsidiary, has just introduced an updated artificial intelligence tool for coding named Copilot Enterprise. This tool is now capable of not only continuing code sequences but also answering any questions related to any software base provided by the company. Top Forums for Crypto Enthusiasts
For pioneers of the crypto industry like Satoshi Nakamoto, the early days were no walk in the park: there was no dedicated platform where they could discuss things like new software uploads on GitHub. So, in late 2009, the first dedicated forum for crypto enthusiasts was born. Developer Discovers Bug in Bitcoin Ordinals Metadata System
A recently discovered bug in Ordinals, a system for writing digital collectibles onto the Bitcoin blockchain, has raised concerns and sparked a debate on how to address the issue. The bug was introduced by a developer known as Supertestnet, who initiated a transaction that didn't output a satoshi but was still considered valid in the Ordinals system. This caused the numbering system that Ordinals uses for inscriptions to be offset by one.
Ordinals creator Casey Rodarmor acknowledged the bug on GitHub, expressing uncertainty about the best course of action to fix it. While the bug doesn't break the primary Ordinals system of tracking satoshis linked to collectibles, it affects the vanity metric of inscription numbers, which indicate the order in which each Ordinal collectible was created.
Danny Diekroeger, founder of Bitcoin Lightning platform Deezy, downplayed the severity of the issue, stating that inscription numbers were already somewhat flawed. Another developer, Rijndael, agreed, noting that the bug should not impact the actual Ordinals themselves, but only the inscription numbering system.
As developers and the community discuss potential solutions, it's clear that the bug raises questions about the reliability and security of the Ordinals system. While it may not be a major problem in the grand scheme of things, it serves as a reminder of the importance of ongoing development and testing in blockchain-based systems. Bitcoin FUD on the menu
The Wall Street Journal recently published a sensational article about a handful of mysterious coders-maintainers who back Bitcoin Core and have the power to crash the network at any time!
It turns out that Bitcoin Core only has 5 maintainers, with the sixth leaving the group due to burnout and health issues. And only 17 people had the ability to change the code throughout the entire BTC existence. Furthermore, the code base is hosted on GitHub, a Microsoft-owned website...
What? Five cripples decide the fate of the world's most decentralized project?
While our editor was getting an indirect heart massage, our techs reassured everyone that this was pure FUD and that there are plenty of ways to avoid any of these guys' tricks.
Also, the well-known cypherpunk Adam Back has already come up with a counter-argument. Take a deep breath and relax! Optimism has set its sights on integrating ZK-Proof technology
Bobby Dresser, the CEO of Optimism Foundation, announced on GitHub that they have approved proposals from O(1) Labs and RISC Zero for the integration of zero-knowledge proofs.
O(1) Labs suggests creating a new solution based on the Kimchi system, currently used in the Mina Protocol project. This move is expected to enhance both the performance and security of cross-chain communication.
