ChainCatcher news, according to Protos, Bitcoin developers recently disclosed details of a high-risk software vulnerability named CVE-2024-35202. According to senior core developers, over 13% of home and commercial computers executing Bitcoin rules globally are affected by a remote shutdown vulnerability.The vulnerability affects nodes running versions of Bitcoin Core prior to 25.0, allowing attackers to crash nodes by manipulating block transaction messages. The vulnerability originates from Core's compact block protocol, which uses shortened transaction identifiers to reduce internet bandwidth usage. Attackers can trigger conflicts in these identifiers, causing nodes to request complete blocks. While requesting complete, untruncated blocks is a security precaution, versions of the software prior to 25.0 have flaws in the logic for handling subsequent blocktxn messages.In short, nodes can be forced into an invalid state by manipulating logic gates, leading to a complete crash. Although there is no economic incentive for ordinary attackers, developers strongly recommend that node operators update to the latest version. The credit for discovering and disclosing this vulnerability goes to Niklas Gögge, and Bitcoin Core 25.0 has resolved this issue.

ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, the BackPack wallet now supports Ore v2 mining.Previous news, the Ore v2 mining project on the Solana chain has been restarted. It is reported that ORE is a mineable token, deployed on Solana on April 2, providing an opportunity for those who deposit SOL into the smart contract to earn a protocol reward of 1 ORE per minute by correctly solving cryptographic puzzles similar to proof-of-work operations.

ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, the mining project Ore v2 on the Solana chain has been launched, with a maximum supply cap of 21 million ORE.It is reported that ORE is a mineable token, deployed on Solana on April 2, providing an opportunity for those who deposit SOL into the smart contract to earn a protocol reward of 1 ORE per minute by correctly solving cryptographic puzzles similar to proof-of-work operations.

ChainCatcher news, the founder of the mining project Ore on the Solana chain, Hardhat Chad, has released the ORE v2 version update.The new version will be upgraded in three phases (upgrading v1 token metadata, activating the v1 to v2 upgrade, and activating mining), aiming to enhance the project's decentralization and user participation. Specific details include: removal of the admin variable, replaced with open-source algorithm management; total supply limited to 21 million tokens, with mining expected to be completed by 2064; introduction of a staking mechanism, allowing for up to 2x mining rewards; optimization of anti-witch attack strategies; smart contracts will be upgradable in the early stages and will be permanently frozen later; v1 tokens can be exchanged 1:1 for new ORE tokens within 3 months.

ChainCatcher news, the founder of the mining project Ore on the Solana chain, Hardhat Chad, announced the ORE v2 version update. The main changes include:Removal of the admin variable, replaced with open-source algorithm management;Total supply limited to 21 million, expected to be mined by 2064;Introduction of a staking mechanism, with up to 2x mining rewards;Adoption of a CPU-friendly hash function;Optimization of anti-witch attack strategies;Upgrade of the client, which will support more devices in the future;Smart contracts can be upgraded in the early stages, but will be permanently frozen later;v1 tokens can be exchanged for the new ORE at a 1:1 ratio within 3 months;The new version will be launched in three phases: upgrading v1 metadata, activating token upgrades, and restarting mining. This update aims to enhance the project's decentralization and user participation.

ChainCatcher news, the anonymous creator of the mining project Ore on the Solana chain, Hardhat Chad, has posted updates about ORE v2 on social media, stating that the total maximum supply of ORE will be 21 million tokens. After considering a large amount of feedback from the community, he decided to introduce a supply cap for ORE in the v2 contract. This limitation will introduce a fixed level of scarcity for ORE and provide stronger inflation protection for token holders.The team is currently in the final stages of the v2 audit and is preparing to release the client software. Chad added that a complete announcement detailing all major changes will be released soon to allow ample preparation time before the v2 contract goes into effect.

ChainCatcher message, Bitcoin Core v26.0 has been officially released, adding experimental support for the v2 transport protocol defined in BIP324. Additionally, nodes with multiple reachable networks will actively attempt to establish at least one outbound connection in each network, which enhances the individual resistance of nodes to partition attacks and the network-level resistance to partition attacks. Users no longer need to take proactive measures to ensure connections to multiple enabled networks. The new version also adds "loadtxoutset," allowing the loading of UTXO snapshots generated in the "dumptxoutset" format.
