This comes only a few weeks after developers notified the public of the advent of high-risk vulnerability and a software bug. These loopholes were focused on one in every six Bitcoin nodes, disrupting their operations. Precisely, these vulnerabilities made nodes very susceptible to DoS attacks from malicious actors. All the attacker had to do was exhaust the nodes with low-difficulty header chains.Once these nodes were able to download long chains that exceed their bandwidth, a potential crash followed. With Bitcoin Core 28.0 and its additional security enhancement, this is no longer a challenge. To a large extent, this latest development supports reproducible builds, allowing experienced users to compile identical binaries in addition to those distributed on the BTC Core official website.In the long run, it promotes trust and transparency within the BTC community.Recently, Bitcoin rolled toward $62,000 but has refused to register more upsurge even with the release of U.S. job data. The coin is currently trading at $62,121.25, up 1.65% in 24 hours per CoinMarketCap data.While not immediate, the Bitcoin Core update might impact the overall performance when investors price this in properly.This article was originally published on U.Today More

It is worth noting that Dogecoin was made as a joke on Bitcoin, using BTC code as a basis. Besides, Markus is known on X as “Shibetoshi Nakamoto” — another joking reference to the Bitcoin creator’s pseudonym.Therefore, Billy Markus does not seem to expect any true original revelations from the documentary. Its creators interviewed many people, including Adam Back — a prominent cryptographer, who corresponded with Satoshi before the Bitcoin launch.Billy Markus was also several times asked on X if he is Satoshi and he always responded sarcastically to refute those speculations. Probably in light of all these developments, in a recent tweet, Markus stated: “i can’t wait to be underwhelmed and disappointed by the hbo satoshi documentary.”Finally, Adam Back emphasized in today’s X post that Satoshi stopped using his pseudonym in 2011. “No one knows anything, so i think we’ll never know who it was. and that’s a good thing,” he summarized.This article was originally published on U.Today More

This Bitcoin was mined only one month after the initial cryptocurrency’s launch in March 2009.Earlier, Sept. 24, this Bitcoin whale moved 5 BTC to Kraken. As of now, the wallet still holds approximately $72.5 million, or 2,049.95 BTC.Bitcoin surged 3% on Friday, climbing past $62,000 following a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report. The U.S. added 254,000 jobs in September, far surpassing predictions of 140,000, which bolstered optimism for the broader economy and helped drive Bitcoin’s rise.Earlier in the week, Bitcoin had dropped 6%, falling to around $60,000.However, in anticipation of the positive jobs data, the cryptocurrency gradually recovered. After a brief dip following the report’s release, Bitcoin spiked over 1%, with other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and XRP experiencing similar gains.This article was originally published on U.Today More

In a comment, while debating with a Bitcoin enthusiast, Bass extended his thought, saying that the Chinese intelligence service may have created BTC by the anonymous hands of “Satoshi” in order to undermine the economic leadership of the U.S. and U.S. dollar in the world.Notably, China first banned crypto ICOs in 2017, then expanding its ban on crypto trading and mining in 2021. Over the past years, the country has been testing its own central bank digital currency (CBDC), initially called DCEP (digital currency electronic payments) and now known simply as e-yuan.In a recent social media post on X, Samson Mow stated that he was in China in 2009 — the year of Bitcoin creation. Describing what he was busy with in that country, Mow tweeted: “Then ran the biggest #Bitcoin exchange in China, and left to infiltrate @Blockstream.” In a recent X post, he jokingly stated that he did not create BTC.Blockstream is the company founded and run by cryptographer and cypherpunk Adam Back, with whom Satoshi corresponded, discussing Bitcoin, which made Back one of the “Satoshi candidates.” Hence, Mow’s recent nickname “the former colleague of Adam Back” given to him by the creators of the HBO documentary about Satoshi that is coming out next week. Mow found that joke funny, making a post on his X page a few days ago.Mow said that the first character matches the first one in the spelling of “China.” “It just can’t be coincidence,” he wrote.This article was originally published on U.Today More

Partners Using Smart Contract Library, AI-Powered Tools Include Monad, Berachain, Polygon, Sui, Linea, and MoreCookbook.dev, the AI-powered Web3 developer ecosystem, has partnered with the most advanced blockchain networks to make it easier and faster for them to onboard developers, deploy more projects, and grow. Partners using Cookbook.dev’s comprehensive smart contract library and AI-powered ChefGPT assistant include Monad, Berachain, Polygon, Sui, Superfluid, Linea, Camp, Celo, Pyth, Fuel and many more.Web3 has an innovation problem. The vast majority of “new” protocols are forks of existing projects, have no way to achieve sustainable revenue, and/or lack utility for retail users. The lack of new ideas stems from a lack of developers to create and build them – the total number of Web3 developers is approximately 22,000, less than 0.1% of the estimated 27 million developers worldwide.Nevertheless, Web3 has struggled to onboard more devs because the space lacks adequate support and tools for developers learning or working in Solidity, Move, and other growing Web3 programming languages. Cookbook.dev’s developer ecosystem addresses these concerns by offering a library of 1,800+ audited smart contracts, one-stop information hubs for individual blockchains, a playground for coding and testing, and an analytics dashboard with insights about onchain dev activity. Its proprietary AI chatbot, ChefGPT, is available to help Web3 developers at any time, in any language.Here’s what other people are saying about Cookbook.dev:Nirav Murthy, Camp.L2 Co-Founder: “Cookbook.dev is enabling Camp to onboard more developers and accelerate ecosystem growth by providing access to curated resources that boost productivity.

Known for his vocal and indisputable support for the major cryptocurrency, Michael Saylor’s latest remarks only underscore his belief in the long-term potential of Bitcoin.As the price of BTC has seen a quick pump off key support levels to over $62,000, the CEO of MicroStrategy has accompanied the action with just one word: “bullish”. That was it for words, but it was not the whole post, as Saylor also attached an AI-generated image showing him riding a bull with the Bitcoin logo on its forehead. This was characteristic for the businessman, and while such a social media presence may seem unconventional, the cryptocurrency itself is also unconventional, so it is the perfect match.However, it is not all sweetness and light as a strong increase in labor market activity casts doubt on the existence of any cooling. With such statistics, any sharp steps to cut the rate by 50 bps are out of the question. Rather, the question is whether the rate should be cut at all in November. If a rate cut does not happen, the money printer that many market participants are expecting will not start anytime soon.This article was originally published on U.Today More
