Cointime Official

Dogecoin Core Developer Michi Lumin has announced the release of libdogecoin 0.1.2, a significant upgrade to the popular meme cryptocurrency's blockchain. The upgrade includes support for roll-ups, BIP39 seed phrases in multiple languages, QR code generation, BIP 32/44 and slips44 HD addressing standards, improved message and transaction signing capabilities, and Dogecoin's current "moon-phase Unicode".

The team is already working on new features for 0.1.3 to further improve the lightweight and cross-compatible libdogecoin. The upgrade also includes fixes and enhancements contributed by various developers, including memory integrity checks, truncation fixes, and length checks for edge cases. The release also welcomes new contributors, and the team is committed to continuing to improve the libdogecoin platform in the future.  

NEW THINGS:

- bip39 seedphrase support. (@EdTubbs , @KBluezr ) libdogecoin now supports generation of seedphrases to and from keys, in many lanuages. For non-devs, this functionality is available in the included 'such' executable as a utility and can be used to generate mnemonic phrases.

-bip 32/44 and slips44 HD addressing support now fully supported. (@KBluezr , @EdTubbs , @michilumin ) libdogecoin now properly derives keys and addresses according to bip32 and 44 rules, and can produce child keys/addresses. This functionality is also available in the 'such' executable utility.

Also functional in the 'such' utility. -Message signing: (@KBluezr) libdogecoin now supports message+transaction signing and verification. Also available in the 'such' utility for endusers!

-Dependencies: (@KBluezr) libdogecoin now builds its only large outside dependency (libevent) on its own as a convenience lib when built; no downloading depends or separate depsolving needed for this. -MSVC CMAKE full support for windows builds: (@KBluezr , @michilumin, @EdTubbs ) - libdogecoin now builds its prereqs on its own and is ready-to-build when imported into MS Visual Studio (2022, CMAKE) on Windows.

-Network awareness: (@KBluezr )Devs can now query a flag to see if libdogecoin was built with networking functionality or not. (for @chromatic_x!)

-THE MOON. (@inevitable360) - libdogecoin can now give you the current moon phase unicode according to the current moon phase. It's up to you what you do with it!

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
