隨著礦工押注減半和新的收入來源，比特幣費用飆升

隨著礦工和交易者為即將到來的減半事件和符文的引入做準備，比特幣的費用已連續三天超過以太坊。 4 月 17 日，比特幣礦工收取了 747 萬美元的費用，超過了以太坊的 731 萬美元。比特幣交易費用的增加對礦工來說是一個關鍵時刻，因為減半將使他們的獎勵減少一半。然而，以太坊在 7 天的平均費用方面保持顯著領先，為 855 萬美元，而比特幣為 757 萬美元。

Bitcoin Fees Surge, Miners Betting on Halving and New Revenue Streams

比特幣費用飆升，礦工押注減半和新的收入來源

In the lead-up to the highly anticipated Bitcoin halving event and the introduction of Runes on the Bitcoin blockchain, transaction fees on the network have surged, surpassing those of Ethereum for the third consecutive day.

在備受期待的比特幣減半事件和比特幣區塊鏈上引入符文之前，網路上的交易費用飆升，連續第三天超過以太坊。

Fees Spike Ahead of Bitcoin Halving

比特幣減半前費用飆漲

On April 17, Bitcoin miners collected a staggering $7.47 million in fees, nearly $160,000 more than the $7.31 million paid to Ethereum stakers, according to data from Crypto Fees. This surge in fees is a critical development for Bitcoin miners, as the upcoming halving event on April 20th is expected to reduce their rewards from 6.25 BTC ($398,000) to 3.125 BTC ($199,000).

根據 Crypto Fees 的數據，4 月 17 日，比特幣礦工收取的費用高達 747 萬美元，比支付給以太坊質押者的 731 萬美元高出近 16 萬美元。費用的激增對比特幣礦工來說是一個重要的發展，因為即將到來的 4 月 20 日減半事件預計將他們的獎勵從 6.25 BTC（398,000 美元）減少到 3.125 BTC（199,000 美元）。

To compensate for this revenue drop, miners will rely heavily on higher fees and a continued increase in Bitcoin's price. The surge in fees suggests that miners are optimistic about the future value of Bitcoin and are willing to invest in securing the network.

為了彌補收入下降，礦工將嚴重依賴更高的費用和比特幣價格的持續上漲。費用激增表明礦工對比特幣的未來價值持樂觀態度，並願意投資於保護網路安全。

NFT-Like Inscriptions Boost Mining Revenue

類似 NFT 的銘文提高挖礦收入

The introduction of NFT-like Ordinals inscriptions in January 2023 has also contributed to the increase in mining revenue. Ordinals allow users to inscribe data, including images, videos, and text, directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. This has created a new revenue stream for miners, as users pay fees to inscribe data.

2023 年 1 月推出的類似 NFT 的 Ordinals 銘文也促進了挖礦收入的增加。序數允許用戶將資料（包括圖像、影片和文字）直接寫入比特幣區塊鏈上。這為礦工創造了新的收入來源，因為用戶需要支付費用來記錄數據。

Runes Anticipated to Further Boost Fees

符文預計將進一步提高費用

The release of Runes, a new Bitcoin token standard, during the halving at block 840,000, is expected to further boost transaction fees. Runes will enable users to create and manage non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Bitcoin blockchain. This could lead to an influx of new transactions and higher fees for miners.

在第 84 萬個區塊減半期間，新的比特幣代幣標準 Runes 的發布預計將進一步提高交易費用。 Runes 將使用戶能夠在比特幣區塊鏈上建立和管理不可替代代幣（NFT）。這可能會導致新交易的湧入和礦工費用的上漲。

Doge Meme Image Rights Secured

獲得 Doge Meme 圖像權

In a separate development, Own The Doge, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) associated with the infamous Shiba Inu meme behind the Dogecoin (DOGE) token, has announced that it has secured the legal rights to the iconic image.

在另一項開發中，Own The Doge 是一個去中心化自治組織(DAO)，與狗狗幣(DOGE) 代幣背後臭名昭著的柴犬模因相關，它宣布已獲得該標誌性圖像的合法權利。

This move is expected to open up opportunities for partnerships with major brands and provide greater clarity around the copyright of the Doge image, which has been used widely in the crypto space and beyond.

此舉預計將為與主要品牌建立合作夥伴關係創造機會，並為 Doge 圖像的版權提供更清晰的訊息，該圖像已在加密貨幣領域及其他領域廣泛使用。

Akira Ransomware Nets $42 Million

Akira 勒索軟體獲利 4,200 萬美元

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reported that the Akira ransomware group has breached over 250 organizations and extracted approximately $42 million in ransomware payments since March 2023.

美國聯邦調查局 (FBI) 報告稱，自 2023 年 3 月以來，Akira 勒索軟體組織已侵入 250 多個組織，並收取了約 4,200 萬美元的勒索軟體款項。

The ransomware, which initially targeted Windows systems, has recently evolved into a Linux variant as well. The FBI, in collaboration with international cybersecurity agencies, has issued a joint advisory to alert organizations of the threat.

該勒索軟體最初針對 Windows 系統，最近也演變為 Linux 變種。美國聯邦調查局 (FBI) 與國際網路安全機構合作，發布了聯合公告，提醒各組織注意這項威脅。

The Akira ransomware group demands payments in Bitcoin from victims to restore access to their systems. The malware often disables security software after gaining access to evade detection.

Akira 勒索軟體組織要求受害者支付比特幣，以恢復對其係統的存取。該惡意軟體通常會在獲得存取權限後停用安全軟體以逃避偵測。

Security Recommendations

安全建議

The FBI and other cybersecurity agencies recommend organizations implement robust security measures, including:

FBI 和其他網路安全機構建議組織​​實施強有力的安全措施，包括：

• Regularly testing security systems against the MITRE ATT&CK tactics identified in the advisory
• Regularly updating software and firmware
• Implementing strong authentication mechanisms
• Backing up data regularly
• Conducting regular security audits

By following these recommendations, organizations can mitigate the risk of falling victim to ransomware attacks and protect their sensitive data.

根據諮詢中確定的MITRE ATT&CK 策略定期測試安全系統定期更新軟體和韌體實施強大的身份驗證機制定期備份資料定期進行安全審核通過遵循這些建議，組織可以降低成為勒索軟體攻擊受害者的風險並保護其敏感數據。
