Among the fascinating challenges in crafting effective blockchain solutions is, how can we guarantee that these systems stay resistant to censorship? While significant efforts have been directed towards cryptoeconomics to ensure that blockchains consistently generate new blocks, and particularly to avert block reversion, considerably less focus has been given to the challenge of guaranteeing that transactions that individuals wish to integrate into the blockchain will indeed be processed, even if “the authorities”, at least concerning that specific blockchain, prefer otherwise. Resistance to censorship in decentralized cryptoeconomic frameworks isn’t merely about ensuring that Wikileaks contributions or Silk Road 5.0 cannot be…

It’s been some time, I recognize, but these are indeed hectic days. I pen this missive from a Starbucks in Shanghai, sitting behind the Great Firewall, occasionally able to glance out. Over the last few weeks, I’ve traveled in Asia with Marek, primarily attending meetups, workshops, and technical discussions. Throughout this period, we’ve witnessed the launch, obstacles, and persistence of the Olympic testnet, which serves as a clear indication that a multi-client architecture would greatly surpass the current monoculture. We’ve initiated the second external Go audit, mainly to identify regressions but also to provide insights and feedback on modifications that…
The technology leader Microsoft has identified a new remote access trojan (RAT) that specifically targets cryptocurrency stored within 20 wallet extensions for the Google Chrome browser. Microsoft’s Incident Response Team stated in a blog post dated March 17 that it initially uncovered the malware StilachiRAT last November, discovering that it is capable of stealing various types of information such as browser-stored credentials, digital wallet data, and details held in the clipboard. Following its installation, malicious actors can employ StilachiRAT to extract cryptocurrency wallet information by scanning the device’s settings to determine if any of the 20 wallet extensions are present, including Coinbase…

When I began promoting bitcoin and blockchain technology back in 2012, my Dad was a tough target. There was the prevalent skepticism and standard objections of “what’s supporting it?”, “what can you do with it?” and “what exactly is cryptography?” At that time, my presentation wasn’t polished, and the educational resources had not quite developed yet…but honestly, I believe a significant reason he didn’t understand it was due to his lack of technical knowledge and reluctance to embrace emerging technologies. I gently persevered, and he ultimately came around. By the end of 2012, he had acquired a substantial amount of…
Covenant : a typically formal, serious, and binding arrangement. This term has emerged as one of the most loaded terms in the Bitcoin arena. They are the greatest innovation since sliced bread. They are also the most perilous development since the atomic bomb. They aren’t genuinely going to enhance Bitcoin’s scalability, but they are intriguing. Everyone possesses a distinctly different perspective towards them. We have the proponents, the opponents, and the neutral crowd. To complicate matters, the term covenant is honestly quite ambiguous in its delineation of mature and concrete proposals to the protocol that would fall under the category…

Jocson, Reporter MONEY TRANSFERRED HOME by overseas Filipinos increased by 2.9% compared to the previous year in January, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reported on Monday.

Cash remittances in January also marked the lowest…
One of the significant matters that has surfaced during the Olympic stress-net launch is the substantial quantity of data that users must retain; in just slightly over three months of operation, especially during the final month, the data volume within each Ethereum client’s blockchain directory has surged to an astonishing 10-40 gigabytes, varying based on the client utilized and whether compression is activated. Even though it is crucial to highlight that this represents a stress test environment where participants are encouraged to flood the blockchain with transactions solely paying the complimentary test-ether as a transaction fee, and the transaction throughput…
