在历史上最大的信息技术中断之一期间，区块链仍然正常运行

7 月 19 日，加密货币社区的成员在社交媒体上表达了作为比特币和以太坊等区块链网络的胜利感

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，加密货币社区的成员在社交媒体上表达了一种胜利的感觉，因为比特币 (BTC) 和以太坊 (ETH) 等区块链网络在历史上最大的信息技术中断之一期间仍然保持运行。

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.

尽管许多法院、医疗保健提供商、航空公司和其他基本社会服务机构关闭，但用户仍然可以自由地在加密货币和区块链网络上进行交易。

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.”

前比特币核心和 Linux 内核开发人员杰夫·加齐克 (Jeff Garzik) 指出了中心化服务大范围中断与区块链继续平稳运行之间的对比。他在社交媒体平台 X 上的一篇帖子中表示，“全球 IT 中断：Linux、比特币和以太坊不受影响。”

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.”

比特币多重签名钱包服务 Casa 的联合创始人 Jameson Lopp 也对这一消息发表了看法。洛普表示：“目前全球范围内发生的大规模基础设施中断是比特币节点软件无法自动更新的一个鲜明例子。”他补充道，“自动更新会带来系统性风险。”

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.

支持加密货币的参议员 Cynthia Lummis 还指出，区块链仍然正常运行。 “你知道哪种形式的货币没有受到广泛的网络中断的影响吗？”她反问道，回答“比特币”。 Lummis 以“Vires in Numerics”结束她的帖子，这是一个拉丁短语，意思是“数字的力量”，显然指的是验证比特币交易的数千个验证器节点。

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.

一些社区成员强调了 Windows 操作系统在此次中断中所扮演的角色，声称区块链的优势之一是它们通常可以在多个操作系统上运行。

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.”

比特币钱包Cashu的开发者Calle博士提醒用户，比特币创始人中本聪最初反对开发Linux客户端。 “虽然移植 Linux 很诱人 [...]，但自动运行可能会给我们带来 300% 以上的节点，而 Linux 可能会给我们带来 3% 以上的节点，”他引用中本聪的话说。比特币核心开发者 Peter Todd 回应了 Calle 的帖子，表示“中本聪在这一点上是错误的。更大的市场是运行 Linux 的书呆子。”

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.”

分析平台比特币实验室的创建者比特币研究员也对这篇文章做出了回应，声称 Linux“今天仍然发挥着重要作用，保持 #Bitcoin 网络的强大和弹性”，并且“只有在 Windows/Mac 上运行的比特币才会有单点故障。”

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

尽管比特币软件最初于 2009 年 1 月发布了 Windows 版本，但 Linux 版本于当年晚些时候推出。

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.

加密社区的一些成员也对 Windows 操作系统表示幸灾乐祸，据报道 Windows 操作系统在大规模 IT 中断中发挥了作用。许多用户指出，比特币和其他区块链网络之所以能够保持在线，是因为它们运行在多个操作系统上。

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.

据《福布斯》报道，此次中断是由于向所有运行 Windows 版 CrowdStrike 的设备发送的自动更新存在缺陷造成的。 CrowdStrike 是一个网络安全程序，旨在检测和防止针对 IT 系统的攻击。 Mac 和 Linux 版本的 CrowdStrike 不受更新影响。

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 首席执行官 George Kurtz 表示，该公司正在尝试解决该问题并使企业重新上线。
