Teku and Besu have updated their Docker images after weak certificate keys created a risk for software connecting to external services, including some Ethereum validator setups. Summary Teku 26.10.3 and Besu 26.10.2 remove affected certificate trust from their Docker images following the eMudhra incident. Teku says a default mainnet node is unaffected, while exposure depends on HTTPS connections and the Java runtime used by the operator. The disclosed risks concern impersonated services and validator operations, with no exploitation reported in Teku’s notice. The immediate question for operators is whether their software could accept a fake certificate when connecting to another…
A trader recently asked: “Why trade Bitcoin? What’s it gonna do, 2x, 3x? These days stocks can do that. So what’s the point?”It’s a reasonable question, but it misses something fundamental about trading: leverage.Traders don’t necessarily need Bitcoin, gold or a stock to double in price to achieve a substantial percentage return on their trading capital. Depending on the financial instrument and the size of their position, even a relatively small price movement can have a significant impact on their account.Unfortunately, that works in both directions. Leverage can accelerate profits, but it can also destroy a trading account surprisingly quickly.Understanding…
The October 26 Hoodi test has been pulled, including its planned 200 million gas limit. Developers are examining a repricing proposal against contracts already on mainnet. Summary Ethereum’s developers postponed Glamsterdam’s October 26 Hoodi activation at epoch 132,352, with no replacement date set. The delay follows questions about how EIP-8037, which raises the cost of creating chain state, interacts with existing mainnet smart contracts. The Amsterdam execution and Gloas consensus activations were both removed from Hoodi’s schedule, along with the planned move to a 200 million gas limit. Ethereum’s earlier transaction replay found most contracts unaffected, but flagged a small…
Ethereum has approached November near $2,450, well below its early-October price, while U.S. spot funds continue to lose money and developers prepare another Glamsterdam test. ETH could work back toward $2,800 if buyers return, but the upgrade has no mainnet date and the token has struggled to hold $2,500. Those unresolved questions leave room for a much weaker month even if everything goes smoothly. Summary ETH traded around $2,450 on October 21 after falling from roughly $2,695 at the start of October. U.S. spot Ether funds lost $103.3 million on October 19 and $26.1 million on October 20. Glamsterdam’s Hoodi…
In 2025 the state government passed a Strategic Arizona Bitcoin Reserve, but I understand the state still hasn’t bought any coins. We can’t wait for the government to use bitcoin before we use it, or it will never happen. The question is, can a normal person walk into a shop and pay with bitcoin? I have some friends in Scottsdale who have never used bitcoin in real life, so I asked them to test it. I recommended downloading a lightning wallet, sent them some satoshis, and sent them the BTC Map. They were surprised how easy it was to download…
Ethereum developers have scheduled the Glamsterdam upgrade for Hoodi on October 26 after its Sepolia activation. The next test will examine block production, state access and gas changes together before client teams choose a mainnet date. Summary Glamsterdam activated on Sepolia on October 6 and is scheduled for Hoodi on October 26 at 17:42:48 UTC. Hoodi’s gas limit is set to rise to 200 million at the same epoch, according to the Ethereum Foundation. EIP 7732 brings the proposer and builder exchange into the consensus protocol, with new payload timeliness duties. EIP 7928 supplies block access lists intended to let…
BitMine bought Ether every week for more than 15 months, building a treasury of about 6.02 million ETH. Chairman Tom Lee now says the company is close to its target of holding 5% of the network’s supply and will stop accumulating beyond it. A major recurring buyer may leave the spot market, while its large staked position continues to earn rewards. Neither event, by itself, establishes where Ether’s price will go. Summary BitMine held 6,016,414 ETH as of October 4, approximately 4.9% of the 122.1 million supply it used in its company update. The company bought 15,112 ETH in the…
My trip into the Indiana Bitcoin market started at Kaffeine Coffee Co. on Fulton Street. The coffee was tasty, but my real surprise was running into a local Bitcoiner who was also paying for his order in satoshis, making me feel like not such a rare breed in this fiat world. The friend I made shared about a network of Indiana merchants the Indianapolis local Indy Bitcoin Group has been orange pilling. First Up: Old Major Market LLC (Artisan Meats) A common complaint of merchant Bitcoin adoption is that the shop owners will liquidate 100% of their Bitcoin back into…
October’s strongest established crypto candidates have liquid markets, active developer communities and events that can be checked against public records. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB and XRP each meet the longevity test, but their October cases depend on different things. A scheduled testnet, an ecosystem conference or a validator vote can change expectations without creating token demand by itself. Summary Bitcoin remains the largest cryptoasset, with an October 5 closing price near $85,771 on CoinGecko. Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade is targeted for the fourth quarter, with a Sepolia test scheduled for October 6 and no confirmed mainnet date. Solana has four Accelerate…
