Around the Coin Podcast. Matthew Zipkin gives a high level overview of DNS, SSL, their central authority figures, and how Handshake can disrupt and expand the system.

Inflation Bug. Last week, HNS developers discovered an inflation bug in the HNS protocols. It was never exploited. The bug was patched and a “covert soft fork” was deployed to miners. Read the disclosure and please update your hsd full nodes to v.2.4.0 ASAP.
ShakeDex.The first governance proposal for a community burn describes a fee model for ShakeDex in which users must burn HNS in order to list their names on ShakeDex Web.
HMail. Receive emails from standard DNS mailservers. It works like this: user_tld@hmail.app → user@tld. In the future, Hmail will automatically set the reply-to header to this address when sending to a mailserver that doesn’t resolve Handshake names.
HDNS. The Handshake DNS resolver that publicly launched last week already served its 100 millionth DNS query. It takes just a couple minutes to update your settings and access Handshake from any browser.
