BitKey is a FREE, Debian-based live Linux distribution designed for Bitcoin users; it comes with specialist utilities to perform highly secure air-gapped Bitcoin transactions. It contains a swiss army knife of handy Bitcoin tools that support a wide range of usage models, including a few very secure ones which would otherwise be difficult to perform. The system boots into one of the three available modes: "cold-offline" - for creating a wallet and signing transactions; "cold-online" - for watching the wallet and preparing transactions; "hot-online" - standard usage but less secure as the private keys are known to the computer which is connected to the internet.

In simple terms, a cipher is a way of scrambling written text to make it unrecognisable to all except those who have the information ("key") to decipher the text. In cryptography, cipher is another word for algorithm, a series of well-defined steps which perform encryption or decryption. Some of the oldest ciphers include substitution ciphers (which substitutes one letter for another) and transposition ciphers (which changes the order of the letters of the original message). In today's world of interconnected computers, industrial espionage and government snooping, ciphers are much more complex.

| About Dash
|
| Dash (DASH) is a decentralised, open-source, digital cryptocurrency project forked from Litecoin in January 2014. Compared to Litecoin, Dash offers stronger transaction privacy and anonymity, while its software is more resistant to mining with specialist hardware. Better privacy is achieved through a technology called Darksend, a coin-mixing service that combines identical inputs from multiple users into a single transaction with several outputs which obfuscates the flow of funds. Dash has also developed and implemented a hashing algorithm called X11 which uses a sequence of 11 rounds of hashing for its proof-of-work consensus mechanism. To adjust mining difficulty over time, Dash uses an algorithm called Dark Gravity Wave, also developed in-house. The cryptocurrency project was formerly known as Darkcoin (DRK), but it was rebranded to Dash in March 2014. Original announcement.

Cryptocurrency Release: Dash (DASH) 0.12.3.3 |
|
Dash developer "UdjinM6" has announced the release of Dash (DASH) Core 0.12.3.3, a security update to the project's a proof-of-stake, privacy-oriented cryptocurrency. This is in response to a denial-of-service vulnerability discovered recently in Bitcoin's core software (and fixed yesterday in versions 0.16.3 and 0.15.2): "Dash Core 0.12.3.3 is a critical bug-fix release of the Dash Core 0.12.3.x series. There was a serious vulnerability discovered in Bitcoin Core's code base recently which can cause node receiving a specially crafted block to crash. We encourage all full node operators (masternodes, mining pools, explorers, exchanges) to update as soon as possible. Note: this release does NOT require masternode owners to start their masternodes from cold wallets. Masternode operators should stop the daemon running on a remote node, replace old binaries with the new ones and start the daemon again."
