first_img Bitcoin Core 32 enters final testing, optimizing transaction fee estimation and block processing

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin Core 32 entered its final testing phase on September 14, with the first candidate version marked, and the official release is expected on October 10. This version will not change Bitcoin's consensus rules but will mainly optimize fee estimation, accelerate block processing, and fix several security vulnerabilities.In terms of fee estimation, Bitcoin Core 32 introduces a new estimator based on unconfirmed transactions, which can quickly lower the recommended fee rate when network congestion eases, compared to the original estimator based on historical block fees. Regarding block processing, nodes can now use multiple threads to fetch transaction data from the database simultaneously, with a default of 8 threads, reducing the waiting time for nodes to catch up with the blockchain.For security fixes, developers have addressed a command execution vulnerability that has existed in non-Windows systems since Bitcoin Core 24. This vulnerability could allow authenticated users to execute commands on the node host through specially crafted wallet names when the walletnotify feature is enabled. Additionally, four commands used to create partially signed transactions will default to using PSBT version 2 format; the new web server was found to have a memory exhaustion flaw during auditing, where 16 unauthenticated REST connections could raise the node's memory from 46 MB to about 3 GB in approximately one minute, and this issue has been fixed before the official release.

first_img Justin Sun: Establish the Justin Sun Prize to reward mathematically verified proofs

The founder of TRON, Justin Sun, announced the establishment of the "Justin Sun Award," which currently focuses only on mathematics. He stated that the award follows the problem rather than the individual, with no annual meeting, nominations, or age restrictions; each problem has two columns for signatures, one for the prover and one for the person who formalizes the proof and writes it into the machine. Both can be the same person, or they can be a person, AI, or a person using AI. The condition for triggering the prize is that the machine verifies the proof from the first line to the last line without error. Once verification is passed, the names in the two columns become the prize owners for that problem.The rules also include: before machine verification, if the mathematical community has accepted a human proof, it can be listed first, with the prize remaining unchanged, and the status being "Proven, awaiting formalization." The prize in the proof column is only awarded to problems that are solved after being listed; for problems that were already solved at the time of listing, the prover is still credited, but the prize is only awarded to the person who completes the formalization, not retroactively for the history of mathematics. The list of problems is determined by Justin Sun's signature for the listed problems and pricing; once listed, the price can only increase, and money can only be exchanged, not refunded. Mistakes in the problems will still be paid, and they will be re-listed afterward; beyond pricing, verification, payment, and naming, he does not participate in voting.Justin Sun stated that the focus of public welfare will shift to this award, with the initial prize pool already deposited into the blockchain, with the address and balance made public. He only retains the right to continue injecting funds; the award proof and prize distribution will also be made public on the chain. He mentioned that naming it after a person is to avoid name changes due to institutional changes and expressed that wealth comes from mathematics, hoping to "come from mathematics and return to mathematics."

Vans attributed the data center protests to power shortages, stating that electricity in the United States should be cheap enough not to require metering

U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated at the All-In Summit that U.S. AI data centers are facing increasing opposition, largely because the power supply has not kept up. Residents see data centers being built continuously while their electricity bills are rising, which naturally leads to backlash. He believes the solution is not to build fewer data centers but to increase power generation capacity accordingly.Vance mentioned that the U.S. has not built enough power facilities in the past generation, and in the future, it should pursue a state where "electricity is so cheap that it doesn't need to be metered." He also compared this to China, arguing that the slow growth of power generation in the U.S. in recent years has already affected the development of new industries like AI. "So cheap that it doesn't need to be metered" is an old slogan from the history of U.S. nuclear energy. In 1954, Lewis Strauss, the chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, used it to describe the era of cheap electricity brought by atomic energy.The IEA estimates that data centers will contribute to about half of the new electricity demand in the U.S. by 2025; the U.S. Congress is also advancing legislation this week to try to prevent the costs of expanding data centers from being passed on to ordinary households.

Bitget launched the 8th anniversary "VIP Summit" program, unlocking direct VIP 7 benefits

During the event, completing trading challenges can also extend the VIP 7 experience period to 4 months, with opportunities to receive limited gifts and exclusive dinner invitations.The VIP Summit program is centered around "Ultimate Rates, Ultimate Trading," targeting different types of professional traders such as newly promoted VIPs, other VIPs, and historical VIPs. It establishes three main channels: VIP upgrades, TradFi challenges, and peak privileges, further expanding trading rights and exclusive benefits. VIP benefits include discounts on trading fees, borrowing rates, advanced APIs, unified trading account (UTA) infrastructure, and exclusive VIP services, addressing the core needs of professional traders regarding cost, efficiency, and service.This program is based on research from over 300 VIP users, with trading costs and execution efficiency identified as the most important factors for professional traders, forming the core basis for the event's design.
