the cryptographic proto is fully active on the dev net, the proof form is optimized by 2x (tests can be observed live btw), the entire surface is accessible, enc, dec, stealth txs, claims, etc, and at the VM level, the HFHE proof form (pvac version) is fully operational:
https://t.co/vUvZzoR0o8 (you can see an example here and on our dev addr in the history, and the payload is available via rpc and in the raw record)
* an important thing before migration, in order to use these features, you will need to upgrade your webcli tomorrow evening
btw, the day wasn't wasted, we discovered another bottleneck that required special attention, so we decided to deduce it from a proof-of-concept form, rather than simply as an algorithm and separately decided to prove that after any write, the state remains synchronized among all participants, a quorum requires both thresholds (number and weight of participants) to be met
the learning context itself, based on moving consensus, doesn't change the vote, lock, or finalization phase. this was a rather specific problem, so we decided to formalize it (sorry for the format - the OPD platform will be available in a couple of days, but for now, we're writing the descriptive part manually), so you can take a look at it here: https://t.co/8SB9bCZuIP
the new release marker is now available for validators, pls upgrade as usual:
sh controls/upgrade.sh
sh controls/upgrade.sh --apply
sh controls/stat.sh
Updated octra-sqlite v0.6.4 to include sqlite 3.54.1, accommodate Octra authentication changes and a couple of other small fixes. If you have a previous version deployed, this version will also help you through the upgrade.

releasing the latest hand made bits to improve fault tolerance (the upgrade will be required on weekends), as well as a portal with all changes and the proposal log, which stands out for its activation rules, the name has been coined -OPD (octra protocol document), everyone will be able to participate in proposals for changes.
OPDs are needed to structure all the changes and separately highlight explanations of why they have been made in the first place, and to propose a discussion.
🛑 Attackers hijacked over 300 Tor exit relays to intercept SSH connections and steal login passwords.
A researcher found 333 exits redirecting SSH traffic to 12 interception servers.
The Tor Project has since blocked the affected relays.
Here's how the attack worked: https://t.co/eJsVNeh5xA
hack yourself before other do (the policy we ourselves adhere to).
fyi: an automated fuzzing search engine based on slop generators (by @octralex) found critical crap in ALL projects we've ever interacted with (since there's already context), some have been fixed, others haven't been revealed yet and may not be, given the mixed reactions.
what a time to be alive
a new unscheduled release is now available for vals. please upgrade your nodes (a lot has been done on recovery and sync + an old bug from an earlier implementation at the vm level has been fixed) *
* the node could process the same epoch twice, and the root at that moment was different, when building and checking proposals at the consensus level, it was specified as 32 raw bytes (the earliest implementation from the end of 2024),and when using the epoch from the head, it was transmitted as a 64-hex string, so the bug was found during pre-release main net testing for mem compatibility of different program envs
upgrading is easy -
sh controls/upgrade.sh
