Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 134-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,798 on turnover of $5.02-billion N-T. The market came under heavy pressure on Thursday - as it tumbled more than 230 points to close below the 23,000 point mark - due to selling sparked by a plunge on Wall Street overnight after the U-S Federal Reserve implied it plans to slow the pace of its rate cut cycle. Selling was seen across the board with the bellwether electronics sector in focus before its losses were trimmed in the afternoon session, which managed to cap the downturn by the end of the trading day. Police officer suspended from duty for leaking secrets A police officer has been detained for allegedly leaking secrets about President Lai Ching-te's itinerary while he was seconded to the National Security Bureau. According to the Sixth Special Police Corps, an investigation found that the police officer likely leaked undisclosed (未公開的) information related to Lai to his friends during his tenure at the N-S-B which began in May. The police officer was discharged from the N-S-B and returned to the Sixth Special Police Corps on December 8. A court approved a request by prosecutors to detain him for allegedly leaking secrets and violating the Classified National Security Information Protection Act on December 9. The police corps says it has also suspended the officer in accordance with the Police Personnel Management Act. UN Chief warns 'AI arms race' could have major security implications The UN's top official is warning artificial intelligence is evolving faster than our ability to govern it. Antonio Guterres said on Thursday there's an urgent need for global governance (治理) frameworks. He joined US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a Security Council meeting to discuss the opportunities and risks of AI. Sally Patterson reports from New York, where the United Nations is headquartered. Kenya Declares GenderBased Violence Most Pressing Security Threat The Kenyan government has declared gender-based violence the nation's most pressing (緊迫) security threat, with 100 women killed in the past four months alone, most of them by men who were known to them, including intimate partners. Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary referred to the escalating crisis as “the elephant in the room,” and said authorities have investigated most of the cases, which are pending in court. The official says since September 2023, a staggering 7,107 cases of sexual and gender-based violence have been reported in Kenya. He adds that the police inspector general has formed a specialized unit to combat femicides — the killing of girls or women because of their gender. Kenya's Cabinet this week approved the setting up of a presidential working group to provide recommendations on how to stop gender-based violence. Wright Contempt of Court An Australian computer scientist who falsely claimed to be the founder of the bitcoin cryptocurrency has been found to have committed contempt of court by breaching an order of London's High Court. In a judgment on Thursday, the justice on the case said Craig Wright had committed “a clear breach” of an order in March that barred him from launching or threatening further legal action related to bitcoin. Wright, who is not in the U.K., has been sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years For eight years, Wright had claimed that he was the man behind “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the pseudonym (筆名;假名) that masked the identity of the creator of bitcoin.

Block Version Number in BitcoinThe block version number in Bitcoin serves as an indicator of which set of consensus rules a block follows. It's also used to signal miners' readiness or support for upcoming protocol upgrades. Over time, block version numbers have evolved from simple sequential numbers (like versions 1 through 4) to a more complex bit-field system, which allows for multiple upgrades to be signaled at once.From last time you badgered me I made some notes. Evolution of Block VersionsEarly Versions (1-4):These were straightforward indicators of protocol changes. For example:Version 1 was used from the Genesis block until March 2013.Version 2 came with BIP 34, authored by Gavin Andresen, it added the block height to the coinbase transaction and was activated at Block 227,931 on March 27, 2013.Version 3 enforced stricter signature validation with BIP 66, authored by Pieter Wuille, it ensured correct DER encoding of signatures. It activated at Block 363,725 on July 4, 2015.Version 4 enabled CheckLockTimeVerify (CLTV) with BIP 65, also authored by Pieter Wuille, it allowed for time-locked transactions and activated at Block 388,381 on December 11, 2015.Then come the Version Bits format:Bitcoin upgrades were becoming increasingly complex, the block version system transitioned to the Version Bits signaling mechanism, which allows multiple protocol changes to be signaled at once using specific bits in the block version field, allowing miners to signal support for up to 29 features simultaneously, each represented by a specific bit in the 32-bit version field.When Segregated Witness (SegWit) was introduced, Bitcoin transitioned from simple block versions to the complex numbers seen today.Special Note: before we review the important key version bits, I have to make something clear. These version numbers are more than just sequential; they signal specific changes using bitsI am going to call out version numbers like 536 870 912, which is is the decimal representation of the hexadecimal value 0x20000000The full number 536870912 in binary is 00100000000000000000000000000000.“536" doesn't have standalone significance. It's just a part of the decimal value when the binary representation of 0x20000000 is converted into base 10 (which equals 536870912).The important part lies in the bitwise representation, where the leading bits "001" in the binary form, are reserved for signaling purposes, indicating that version bits are being used.But for the purpose of conveying version numbers to a human (this human being you Max) we will use the decimal representation instead of 0x2 nd a bunch of zeros or 001 and 29 more zeros.Now to the bit version section…Version 536 870 912 indicated readiness for SegWit, introduced through BIP 141 (authored by Pieter Wuille). SegWit was activated on August 24, 2017, at Block 481,824.Version 536 870 913 was used to signal support for BIP 91 and authored by James Hilliard. BIP 91 lowered the threshold required for SegWit's activation. It was locked in at Block 477,120 on July 20, 2017.Version 536 870 914 and 536 870 916 continued signaling for SegWit deployment through various BIPs.How It Works TodayToday, miners use the Version Bits system to signal support for new upgrades, and they must keep their block version numbers in line with consensus rules. Version numbers like 536870912 (SegWit) are still recognized by the network, and each bit in the version number, a miner can signal support for different soft forks simultaneously.For instance, if the network is ready for a future upgrade, miners will flip the corresponding bit in their block version number, signaling their support for the upgrade. The rest of the version field remains intact, allowing multiple soft forks to be signaled at the same time.First 3 bits = 001: Reserved and indicate version bits are being used.Remaining 29 bits: Available for signaling specific soft forks or protocol changes. Each of these bits corresponds to a different potential feature being activated.Car Analogy for Bitcoin Block Version NumbersLet's compare Bitcoin's block version numbers to Fords and how their cars evolved from simple model numbers to VIN numbers that represent various features and changes in their design over the years.The Model T and Block Version 1:Just like Ford's Model T, the first Bitcoin blocks (version 1) were basic, so basic, buyers didn't even have a choice in what color vehicle they could buy “you can have a car in any color so long as its black. Similar to early block versions that had no special features—the first blocks had no complex rules or signals, just the essentials.Evolving Model Years and Version Numbers:As Ford expanded its lineup, more models came out, and so did the need for differentiating cars beyond going from model T to Model A. Apply that to Bitcoin, version 1 to 4 were indicators of upgrades like block height (BIP-34), stricter validation (BIP-66), and time-locked transactions (BIP-65) can be compared to model T to model AComplex Version Bits = New Ford VIN Structure:Eventually, car manufacturers standardized more details in its VIN numbers to reflect all the specifics of each model the world manufacturers identifier, vehicle description section, and the vehicle identifier section—just like Bitcoin's version bits system, which allows for more granular signaling.The VIN was introduced in 1965 to track each vehicle's specifications. The first two characters of the VIN, such as “1F,” identify Ford and where the vehicle was built. 1F is a Ford built in the USA.For example, characters 4-8 in a Ford VIN indicate engine type, body style, and model, much like Bitcoin's complex version numbers (536 870 912 or 0x20000000) that signal specific features like SegWit (BIP-141) or BIP-91 activation.Or version 536 870 916 (0x20000004) signals both SegWit and BIP-91—much like how characters in the Ford VIN specify the engine, body, and trim level of a car.VINs were more standardized in the 80's. Ford's VIN numbers now include production year, plant location, and a unique serial number to distinguish every car (that's characters 10-17). Likewise, Bitcoin's version bits (introduced with version 536870912) can signal multiple protocol changes at once. Just as the tenth digit in a VIN tells you the model year (e.g., “J” for 1988), a Bitcoin version number can tell you which upgrades are active. Bits 1-3: Reserved for version signaling format (for example, the top three bits set to 001 for soft fork signaling).Bits 4-32 can each represent a specific feature or soft fork proposal, meaning multiple upgrades can be signaled simultaneously within the same block version field.ConclusionIn both cases, as the products (Fords and Bitcoin blocks) became more complex, the identifiers also became more detailed. From simple model numbers like T and A (Max likes T & A) to VIN numbers, Bitcoin's version bits both allow for greater customization and finer control.Like how car manufacturers track and signal changes to its cars over time with VINs, Bitcoin uses block version numbers to ensure the network continues to evolve. Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, and a Ford is still a Ford regardless of the fact Henry Ford is dead, and Satoshi is not Craig Wright, or Adam Back, or Peter Todd.

Clare hikes along a section of the GM Ringway, Greater Manchester's new walking trail. It's a 200 mile route split into 20 stages, starting and ending in Manchester city centre. It goes around the edge of the county through all 10 boroughs of the region, and it's linked with public transport so people can easily access the linear stages. Joining Clare as she walks part of Stage 6, which is Strines to Marple, is Andrew Read whose brilliant idea this was. He was awarded £250k of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to make it happen. The project also depends upon a legion of keen volunteers, several of whom join Clare for today's walk. One of these is ‘Stage Guardian' Roz Hughes who explains how important volunteer involvement is to keep the walk maintained in the long term. The starting point of the walk, Strines Station, was described in The Railway Children. Craig Wright joined the group to share his enthusiasm for this classic children's book, and - while reading a short section - points out aspects of a view that can be recognised from Edith Nesbit's descriptions.

In this lively episode of Mid Mic Crisis, hosts Bunchu and Chamber revisit one of the crypto world's greatest mysteries: the true identity of Bitcoin's elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The duo begins by reflecting on their AI-heavy previous episode, but quickly pivot to this week's main topic, spurred by the recent release of the HBO documentary *Money Electric*. They review the top candidates for Nakamoto—Hal Finney, Len Sassaman, Craig Wright, Nick Szabo, and the newly introduced contender, Peter Todd—discussing the evidence and theories surrounding each.The conversation takes a humorous turn as Chamber wrestles with "normies" struggling to understand advanced tech like AI and crypto, before diving deep into the betting markets predicting Satoshi's identity. The hosts highlight how Peter Todd has become a focal point of speculation, though they remain skeptical, rating him a 6 out of 10 likelihood. They close out the show with some fresh insights into Hal Finney and his fascinating connection to the Bitcoin origin story, leaving the mystery of Satoshi's identity open-ended, while continuing the long-running debate.Tune in for witty banter, conspiracy talk, and the ongoing question that continues to baffle the world: who really is Satoshi Nakamoto?Follow Us:Website: https://midmiccrisis.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@midmiccrisisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/midmiccrisis/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mid.mic.crisis?lang=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/MidMicCrisisNewsletter: https://mid-mic-crisis-newsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeMMC Push Pass: https://ks-pages-119byl.web.app/pass/66db3c111db9a79db7fdaafeFireBrain AI: https://www.skool.com/firebrainPowered by @dGenNetworkWebsite: https://dgen.network/Bad Dadvice PodcastNew Dads giving hilariously bad advice about fatherhood, life and current events.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
