    1. Don’t bother stealing tethers
      1. Amazing job by the Omni team to assist Tether in retrieval / ring fencing
        1. Congrats guys
      2. Tether released a blacklist version of Omni Core for exchanges to block the hacker
        1. Temporary measure until the new Omni Core comes out shortly
        2. Omni Foundation will *not* merge any blacklists into the official release
          1. This is fundamentally against our ethos
      3. New builds with feature activations already broadcast to allow Tether to reclaim the tokens
        1. This will also work for stuck tokens at Coinbase, etc (lost tokens that are stuck at incompatible exchanges)
      4. Hard fork will be rectified with the new Omni Core version
        1. Like the hack never happened
    2. Omni proves itself as the most flexible foundational asset technology for token issuers 🙂
      1. Omni provides a variety of features for issuers, they get to choose which ones they want
      2. Managed asset issuers will now have the ability to reclaim tokens – which some users may not like
        1. So I’ll make sure Tether announces this capability prior to the new build going live so users have the option of exiting the Tether ecosystem if they are philosophically opposed to this capability
    3. I am so proud of this team – this is the best team in all of crypto.  Well done, folks.
      1. People are beginning to realize how profound the tech is that we’ve built on top of Bitcoin

    2. Assisting with Tether
  • Zathras
    1. New Omni Core Pull Requests
      1. this one is cool – https://github.com/OmniLayer/omnicore/pull/508 – updates the consensus hashing system to enable balance hashing only
      2. this one is super cool – https://github.com/OmniLayer/omnicore/pull/507 – includes the reason for a transaction being invalid in the RPC response :slightly_smiling_face:
      3. this one is just a basic bugfix – https://github.com/OmniLayer/omnicore/pull/505 – cleans up log spam
  • Sean
