在歷史上最大規模的資訊技術中斷之一期間，區塊鏈仍然正常運行

7 月 19 日，加密貨幣社群的成員在社群媒體上表達了作為比特幣和以太坊等區塊鏈網路的勝利感

Members of the crypto community took to social media on July 19 expressing a feeling of triumph as blockchain networks like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) remained running during one of the largest information technology outages in history.

7 月19 日，加密貨幣社群的成員在社群媒體上表達了一種勝利的感覺，因為比特幣(BTC) 和以太坊(ETH) 等區塊鏈網路在歷史上最大的資訊科技中斷之一期間仍然保持運作。

Despite the shutdown of many courts of law, healthcare providers, airlines and other essential social services, users were still free to transact on crypto and blockchain networks.

儘管許多法院、醫療保健提供者、航空公司和其他基本社會服務機構關閉，但用戶仍然可以自由地在加密貨幣和區塊鏈網路上進行交易。

Former Bitcoin Core and Linux kernel developer Jeff Garzik noted the contrast between the widespread outages in centralized services while blockchains continue to run smoothly. In a post on social media platform X, he stated “Global IT outage: Linux, Bitcoin and Ethereum unaffected.”

前比特幣核心和 Linux 核心開發人員 Jeff Garzik 指出了中心化服務大規模中斷與區塊鏈繼續平穩運行之間的對比。他在社交媒體平台 X 上的一篇貼文中表示，“全球 IT 中斷：Linux、比特幣和以太坊不受影響。”

Jameson Lopp, co-founder of Bitcoin multisignature wallet service Casa, also chimed in on the news. “The massive infrastructure outages occurring globally right now are a stark example of why Bitcoin node software does not automatically update,” Lopp stated, adding that “Auto-updates introduce systemic risk.”

比特幣多重簽名錢包服務 Casa 的共同創辦人 Jameson Lopp 也對此消息發表了看法。洛普表示：“目前全球範圍內發生的大規模基礎設施中斷是比特幣節點軟體無法自動更新的一個鮮明例子。”他補充道，“自動更新會帶來系統性風險。”

Pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis also noted that blockchains remained up and running. “Do you know what form of currency hasn’t been affected by widespread cyber outages?” she asked rhetorically, answering “Bitcoin.” Lummis ended her post with “Vires in Numeris,” a Latin phrase that means “Strength in Numbers,” apparently referring to the thousands of validator nodes that validate Bitcoin transactions.

支持加密貨幣的參議員 Cynthia Lummis 也指出，區塊鏈仍然正常運作。 “你知道哪種形式的貨幣沒有受到廣泛的網路中斷的影響嗎？”她反問道，回答「比特幣」。 Lummis 以“Vires in Numerics”結束她的帖子，這是一個拉丁短語，意思是“數字的力量”，顯然指的是驗證比特幣交易的數千個驗證器節點。

Some community members emphasized the role of the Windows operating system in the outage, claiming that one of the strengths of blockchains is that they typically run on multiple operating systems.

一些社群成員強調了 Windows 作業系統在此次中斷中所扮演的角色，聲稱區塊鏈的優勢之一是它們通常可以在多個作業系統上運行。

Dr. Calle, the developer of the Bitcoin wallet Cashu, reminded users that Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto had originally argued against developing a Linux client. “While it’s tempting to do a Linux port [...], auto-run might give us 300% more nodes while Linux might give us 3% more,” he quoted Satoshi as saying. Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd responded to Calle’s post, stating “Satoshi was just wrong on this. The bigger market was nerds running Linux.”

比特幣錢包Cashu的開發者Calle博士提醒用戶，比特幣創始人中本聰最初反對開發Linux客戶端。 「雖然移植Linux 很誘人[...]，但自動運行可能會給我們帶來300% 以上的節點，而Linux 可能會給我們帶來3% 以上的節點，」他引用中本聰的話說。比特幣核心開發者 Peter Todd 回應了 Calle 的帖子，表示「中本聰在這一點上是錯誤的。更大的市場是運行 Linux 的書呆子。

The Bitcoin Researcher, the creator of the analytics platform Bitcoin Lab, also responded to the post, claiming that Linux “still serves an important role today keeping the #Bitcoin network strong and resilient” and that “Bitcoin running on Windows/Mac ONLY would have a single point of failure.”

分析平台比特幣實驗室的創建者比特幣研究員也對這篇文章做出了回應，聲稱Linux“今天仍然發揮著重要作用，保持#Bitcoin 網路的強大和彈性”，並且“只有在Windows/Mac 上運行的比特幣才會有單點故障。

Although the Bitcoin software was originally released for Windows in January 2009, a Linux version launched later that year.

儘管比特幣軟體最初於 2009 年 1 月發布了 Windows 版本，但 Linux 版本於當年稍後推出。

Some members of the crypto community also expressed a feeling of schadenfreude toward the Windows operating system, which reportedly played a role in the massive IT outage. Many users pointed out that Bitcoin and other blockchain networks are able to remain online due to the fact that they run on multiple operating systems.

加密社群的一些成員也對 Windows 作業系統表示幸災樂禍，據報道 Windows 作業系統在大規模 IT 中斷中發揮了作用。許多用戶指出，比特幣和其他區塊鏈網路之所以能夠保持在線，是因為它們運行在多個作業系統上。

According to a Forbes report, the outage was caused by a flawed automatic update sent out to all devices running CrowdStrike for Windows. CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity program that attempts to detect and prevent exploits against IT systems. The Mac and Linux versions of CrowdStrike were unaffected by the update.

根據《富比士》報道，此次中斷是由於向所有運行 Windows 版 CrowdStrike 的裝置發送的自動更新存在缺陷造成的。 CrowdStrike 是一個網路安全程序，旨在偵測和防止針對 IT 系統的攻擊。 Mac 和 Linux 版本的 CrowdStrike 不受更新影響。

On July 19, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said the company is attempting to resolve the issue and get businesses back online.

7 月 19 日，CrowdStrike 執行長 George Kurtz 表示，該公司正在嘗試解決該問題並使企業重新上線。
