<br> Binance Chain and Binance Coin (BNB) -Community-driven blockchain ecosystem with its own native token (BNB) and decentralized exchange (DEX). BNB can be used to pay fees on the Binance platform, including trading fees, transaction fees, and listing fees. This week’s newsletter contains a warning about communicating with Bitcoin nodes using RPC over unencrypted connections, links to two new papers about creating fast multiparty ECDSA keys and signatures that could reduce transaction fees for multisig users, and lists some notable merges from popular Bitcoin infrastructure projects. 14708 prints a warning when unrecognized section names are used in the bitcoin.conf configuration file. For example, if you create the following configuration file using the full report name testnet instead of the correct name test, Bitcoin Core would previously silently ignore the testnet options. However, there’s no standardized way for users to do the same using a P2SH address or any of the different types of segwit addresses (although there are some implemented non-standard methods with limited functionality). The verifier’s software then validates this information the same way it would to determine whether a spending transaction was valid. John Newbery asks and answers a question about the term transaction pinning. Gregory Maxwell asks and answers a question about you could create a value that looked like an ECDSA signature corresponding to an arbitrary public key-such as one known to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto-but without having access to the private key. Pieter Wuille and Gregory Maxwell each answer a question about using Bitcoin private and public keys for encryption rather than their typical use for signing and verification. ● BIP322 generic signed message format: since 2011, users of many wallets have had the ability to sign an arbitrary message using the public key associated with a P2PKH address in their wallet. Previously, using the -rpcallowip configuration option would cause Bitcoin Core to listen on all interfaces (although still only accepting connections from the allowed IP addresses); now, the -rpcbind configuration option also needs to be passed to specify the listening addresses. This script is the preferred way to generate login credentials for RPC access when not using bitcoin-cli as the same user that started the bitcoind daemon. The basic mechanism is that the authorized spender or spenders for an address generate scriptSigs and witness data (including their signatures) in much the same way they would if they were spending the funds-except instead of signing the spending transaction, they sign their arbitrary message instead (plus some predetermined extra data to ensure they can’t be tricked into signing an actual transaction).<br>>
Doing so provides a number of benefits including easier code maintenance, better opportunities for testing individual components, and potentially more secure software if the wallet component is moved to its own process. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? This week’s newsletter includes action items related to the security release of Bitcoin Core 0.16.3 and Bitcoin Core 0.17RC4, the newly-proposed BIP322, and Optech’s upcoming Paris workshop; a link to the C-Lightning 0.6.1 release, more information about BIP322, and some details about the Bustapay proposal; plus brief descriptions of notable merges in popular Bitcoin infrastructure projects. Current items for sale do not contain bitcoins. The physical Bitcoins you see in photos are a novelty. See the News section below for additional details. Even if they don’t see general adoption, their privacy advantage means they could end up well deployed among niche users. Even so, you may find other resources compiled by the maintainers of these other lists. In either case, it may be worth dedicating some engineering time towards tracking the proposals and proof of concept implementations to ensure your organization can easily adopt them if d<br>a<br>.
Andrew Miller is an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and associate director of the Initiative for Cryptocurrencies & Contracts. It has the potential to become an industry standard that will be implemented by nearly all wallets and may be used by many services (such as peer-to-peer marketplaces) as well as for customer support, so Optech encourages allocating some engineering time to ensure the proposal is compatible with your organization’s needs. RPC. As single newlines may be used elsewhere in RPC output, terminating with a double newline makes it easy for a non-JSON parser to find the end of the results from one RPC call and the beginning of the results from a subsequent call when the same socket is used for both. ● Upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.16.3 to fix denial-of-service vulnerability: a bug introduced in Bitcoin Core 0.14.0 and affecting all subsequent versions through to 0.16.2 will cause Bitcoin Core to crash when attempting to validate a block containing a transaction that attempts to spend the same<br>ut twice.
