The Bitcoin Ordinals protocol has launched version 0.6.0, supporting the recognition of "cursed inscriptions."

ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin protocol Ordinals' new chief maintainer Raph announced on Twitter that the Ordinals protocol has launched version 0.6.0, which implements the recognition of more types of inscriptions, including cursed inscriptions.

Ord io co-founder Leonidas interpreted that before this version was launched, there were 70,000 invalid inscriptions, and after upgrading to 0.6.0, many previously invalid inscriptions can now be indexed by the Ordinals protocol as "cursed inscriptions." Normal inscriptions are assigned a positive number, while cursed inscriptions are assigned a negative number. The first cursed inscription was -1, and it is now -71,508.

The protocol sets a block activation height that allows specific types of cursed inscriptions to be indexed as normal positive inscriptions. Although the numbers of positive inscriptions will never change, the numbers of negative inscriptions can and will change. If new special cases are discovered and new types of cursed inscriptions are added, existing cursed inscriptions will be re-indexed, and new cursed inscriptions will be inserted, which will lead to a shift in the numbering of negative inscriptions.
