The Senate of the United States is scheduled to facilitate the consideration of the CLARITY Act by the Senate on 20 July

On 12 July, Clarity Act, which provides a regulatory framework for the digital asset industry, was facing a key legislative window. The negotiations between the two parties in the United States have yet to reach agreement on key issues such as the ethical rules of government officials and illicit finance. If the bill fails to move forward before the August recess, there is almost no window of time before the mid-term elections, which could lead to a return to the legislative process. The current Republican leadership goal is to move the deliberations forward during the week of July 20th, but it will take at least seven Democrat senators to pass。

A miner uses a 1TH/s calculator to promote 3.182 BTC blocks, with a probability of about 16,000 a year

On 12 July, a miner, using a Bitaxe ASIC machine with a single chip of approximately 1 TH/s, successfully dug up a bitcoin block of 957,382 yesterday, with a total award of approximately $200,000 for 3.182 BTCs. The equipment was not operating over the frequency, and 100 per cent of block subsidies and transaction fees were retained for mining at the Public Pool mine at zero charges. Its effective share is as difficult as 294.14 T, more than twice the amount of 133.87 T required for the removal of the block. Based on 1 TH/s, it is estimated that on average about 16,000 years before a block is expected to be dug, an event that is extremely rare, but which is still about 53 times more likely to win a day than to buy a lottery。

U.S. air strikes on Iran in response to the Holmuz attack

The United States Department of Defense stated that President Trump had ordered an air strike against Iran on Saturday in response to an attack by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on a commercial vessel sailing in the Strait of Hormuz. The damaged M/V GFS Galaxy vessel was unable to continue its navigation due to fire and serious damage to the engine room, and one of its current crew members is missing. The United States Central Command indicated that, in response, the United States was imposing significant costs by continuously reducing Iran ' s ability to attack civilian vessels. The Revolutionary Guards stated that the Strait of Hormuz had been closed and that all boat traffic would be prohibited. The air strike was the third United States bombing of Iran this week in retaliation for an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz。

Iranian officials claim that the US attack on Iran “will not fail to respond”

On 12 July, according to Al Jazeera, Ali Safari, spokesman adviser to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He stated that the recent United States strike “will not fail to respond” and accused the United States of failing to honour its commitments under the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed on 16 June. Safari maintains that the memorandum places responsibility for “Future arrangements in the Straits of Hormuz” on Iran and is to be developed in consultation with Oman and other countries. “The southern shipping routes opened under United States pressure have hindered the implementation of the Agreement and have created serious security risks, including the possibility of collisions. It was irresponsible to have a ship shut down the navigation system through the route, he said. “The United States must choose between complying with the agreement it signed 23 days ago or completely abandoning its commitments. Iran is much stronger than you think and prepared for war,” he added。

Adam Back, Michael Saylor successively wrote against the BIP110 filter fork proposal

On 12 July, Chief Executive Officer Adam Back and the founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, made a statement against the BIP 110 proposal. Adam Back states that the essence of BIP 110 is an attempt to discipline the behaviour of others by means of a consensus layer, which is contrary to the centralized, unlicensed core attributes of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Technical Consensus Mechanism itself is an efficient immune system, and any change that has not been strictly validated by hundreds of developers cannot pass, calling on BIP 110 supporters to understand the logic of Bitcoin’s operation in depth, rather than to create a separate branch. By contrast, Michael Saylor suggests that the real risk lies in the precedent of BIP 110 escalating a garbage-information contest into a consensus change that could invalidate some of the current valid transactions. BIP 110 is a bitcoin improvement proposal aimed at filtering or limiting certain types of data embedded transactions (e.g. OP RETURN output) in the chain by modifying the default relay strategy, which its proponents believe will help to curb the flow of information on the chain。
