DoS + Inflation Bug & Message Signing, Bitcoin Op Tech #13
World Crypto Network
Bitcoin Core 0.16.3 patches a DoS vulnerability affecting all versions since 0.14.0—nodes crash when validating blocks with double-spent inputs, costing miners ~12.5 BTC per crash. BIP 322 proposes standardized message signing across all address types (P2PKH, P2SH, P2WPKH, P2WSH), replacing disparate wallet implementations. Lightning v0.6.1 improves routing and reduces spurious channel closures. C
