Smart Contract Debugger to Debut at Ethereum Conference
Researchers from National University of Singapore will soon release a tool that will help ethereum users determine whether the smart contracts they've coded are valid or not. Developed in the wake of the massive hack of the first large-scale smart contract – The DAO – in June, the researchers described the tool as an attempt to curb future problems that could lead consumer funds to be lost. Called Oyente, the program has been reportedly used to successfully pinpoint bugs in thousands of smart contracts, including the one that led to the failure of The DAO. National University of Singapore....

TBTC, a decentralized way to copy bitcoin (BTC) over to Ethereum, is relaunching today after a smart-contract bug sunk the project in May.
On 8th July, 2011, bitcoin’s first big bubble burst. It would go on to lose an astounding 94% of its value, eventually dropping from $31 to a mere $2. As you may have noticed, it has since recovered quite nicely. Ethereum is now in a moment of crisis. The DAO has been hacked, destroyed and a big chunk of funds have been stolen. Like bitcoin did, ethereum can recover – but a panicked response could kill it forever. Unfortunately, we seem to be heading toward that panicked response. Ethereum has value for one reason and one reason only – it is the Turing-complete, smart contract protocol. In....
Update: This article has been edited slightly to clarify that Ethereum's entire programming language has been ported to Counterparty In a major development in the Bitcoin 2.0 race, Counterparty has added the open-sourced custom smart contract features of Ethereum by porting the programming language to the Counterparty platform. While smart contracts have always been possible on Counterparty, they lacked the flexibility and ease of customization found in the Ethereum project. That extra functionality, previously only found in Ethereum, was often attributed by observers of only being....
