Upgrade Announcement for Ordinals Users: Version 0.21.2

Casey, the founder of Ordinals, has announced an important update for users on the X platform regarding the release of ord 0.21.2. This update is crucial for anyone utilizing the ord functionality to send runes, as it addresses a significant bug that has the potential to cause loss of funds.

Bug Fix: Ensuring Safe Transactions

The primary focus of this update is to rectify a serious issue where the command 'ord wallet send' might fail to create a change output under certain conditions. Such a failure could result in the loss of runes, a risk that users cannot afford. The issue has been thoroughly addressed in the latest pull request (PR), ensuring that users can send and receive runes with confidence.

How to Ensure Safe Transactions

• When executing the 'ord wallet send' command, ensure that the wallet selects an input UTXO that contains sufficient runes to cover the amount you intend to send.
• Verify other wallet settings and configurations to avoid pitfalls during transaction execution.

New Features in ord 0.21.2

The ord 0.21.2 update is not solely about bug fixes; it also introduces exciting new features:

• 'ord wallet sign': This feature enables users to sign messages from a specific wallet address, providing enhanced functionality and security.
• Minting Progress Display: If minting is currently open, users will now see minting progress displayed only on /rune. This change aims to streamline the user experience and provide clear visibility into minting activities.
• Additionally, any incorrect display of minting progress has also been resolved in this update, further improving the interface and usability.

Conclusion

Upgrading to ord 0.21.2 is highly recommended for all users engaged with the Ordinals platform. The improvements and fixes implemented in this version not only enhance security but also improve overall functionality.
