Jasmine is a Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) framework. It encourages us to write tests that mimic real-world scenarios. Mocha focuses on providing a flexible testing framework without imposing a specific BDD structure. It comes bundled with a test runner, making it easier to execute your tests from the command line.

Is it over? No, but we're making some adjustments. It will no longer be a 1 Month 1 Dollar challenge but instead: 1 Year 1 Noodle. This is basically just to say that the challenge will continue in the sense that we will keep trying to get our hands on that sweet magical internet money. And then post an update once in a while.

Rasmus Bay will be attempting to start a business from scratch in February 2023. He has a business partner to help him along the way. He will be aiming to make a profit of at least 1 dollar in his first 30 days of work. The challenge was inspired by a TV show called 2 Months 2 Million.

Enhance user experience, automate tasks, and unlock new possibilities for your dApps. In this step-by-step guide, learn how to seamlessly integrate AI into your blockchain projects, even with limited experience.

Data structures are a serious tool to store data conveniently. Modern applications have the flexibility to organize the data in the memory or on disk using various methods. Some augmentations can improve applications performance, other - compress the data stored in the memory.

Dr. Wright's MYOB Ontier email, supposedly from December 2019, was forged on 18 February 2024. The email was created to falsely support his claim that he provided MYOB login details in 2019. Expert analysis and court findings confirm the email's authenticity was manipulated to back up Dr. Wright's false testimony.

In May 2016, Dr. Craig Wright tried to prove he was Satoshi Nakamoto using the "Sartre Message." COPA alleges the message's signature was taken from a 2009 Bitcoin transaction and repurposed, exposing Wright's clumsy attempt at forgery.

This article is the third in the series of future technology articles—this one focusing on Large Language Models (LLMs) and how they’re revolutionizing human-computer interactions.

COPA alleges Dr. Craig Wright forged a January 2014 email from "Satoshi Nakamoto" to support his claim of being Bitcoin's creator. Forensic evidence ties the email to Wright's computer, contradicting his explanations and suggesting deliberate fabrication.

The choice between running a local full node and relying on third-party services for blockchain access involves trade-offs in cost and security. Full nodes offer the best integrity, availability, and privacy but are expensive. Third-party services can be cost-effective but often lack data integrity guarantees and face availability issues. Emerging ultralight nodes offer a promising solution with reduced hardware requirements and verifiable data. Ensuring...

Light nodes offer a cost-effective way to access blockchain data by synchronizing only limited information (like block headers) and verifying data with network-provided proofs. Recent advancements, such as ultralight nodes like Flyclient, aim to further reduce data synchronization needs while ensuring data integrity. Despite their potential, light nodes face challenges, particularly in Ethereum, where support and incentives are lacking. Future research is needed to...

Node-as-a-Service (NAAS) offers a cost-effective alternative to running a full node by outsourcing blockchain access to third-party providers. While NAAS can provide affordable and multi-blockchain access with features like exclusive APIs, it introduces significant security and privacy risks, as users must trust the service provider. Incidents like DNS attacks and censorship highlight the availability risks associated with NAAS. Further research is needed on the...

Running a full node is a secure method for accessing blockchain information locally, involving direct interaction with the network and fetching data through RPC interfaces. However, it comes with high costs and significant hardware requirements, especially for blockchains with extensive data like Ethereum and Solana. The cost of maintaining a full node is often overlooked compared to mining or staking costs, and further research...

This section discusses the expectations for blockchain accessibility, focusing on integrity, availability, and privacy. It highlights that while full nodes ensure data integrity, third-party services may introduce risks. Availability can be compromised with single-service reliance, and privacy concerns arise with untrusted parties. The paper emphasizes the need for secure and diverse solutions to meet these expectations.

The paper compares different methods for accessing blockchains, highlightingthe trade-offs between running a full node and relying on third-party services. It concludes that running a full node remains the most secure way to access blockchain information, emphasizing the importance of integrity, availability, and privacy in future blockchain accessibility services.

COPA alleges Dr. Craig Wright forged the Tulip Trust Deed by backdating it to 23 October 2012. Forensic evidence shows the document was created in 2015, two years after David Kleiman's death, and inconsistencies in Wright's explanations further undermine its authenticity.

The Pebble Tracker by IoTeX is a blockchain-powered IoT device that captures real-time data on location, climate, motion, and light. Easy to set up, it lets users monetize their data securely. Ideal for logistics, environmental monitoring, fitness, and security, the Pebble Tracker offers versatile and reliable data.

24-hour estimation is often opposed to another type of estimation that we call “detailed estimation” for comfort. This one can take several days or weeks. I’ll show what hides behind the promises of quick estimation and why detailed estimation takes more time to be completed.

API security is crucial in the era of Generative AI, ensuring data integrity, protecting user privacy, and enabling secure and efficient AI integration. Robust API protection helps prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential misuse of AI capabilities.

A years-long lawsuit against Tether and Bitfinex was brought back to life by filing an amended complaint. Plaintiffs claim that Tether prints USDT without any collateral. Then, the stablecoin is used to buy crypto, including BTC, to artificially boost prices. According to plaintiffs, crypto investors overpaid for crypto because of the pump.

COPA alleges that Dr. Craig Wright forged MYOB accounting records to backdate Bitcoin transactions, supporting his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Evidence includes backdated entries, invalid ABNs, and audit logs showing recent edits.

NAS refer to service s allow user to access computer networks or the internet. These services encompass various methods and tech for connection to a network and can be used in different environments, including home networks or public networks. Dial-up Using telephone lines to connect to the internet of a network. Broadband Includes DSL, cable, fiber optics, and other high-speed internet connection methods. WI-FI...

Smart contracts are pieces of self-executing computer programs on a blockchain. They are designed to function when a particular set of conditions are fulfilled. Hackers are able to identify and exploit the vulnerabilities of a smart contract. To address this menace, a regular smart contract audit is usually recommended by cyber security experts.
