NIST Officially Stops Enriching Most CVEs as Vulnerability Volume Skyrockets
NIST will stop enriching most CVEs under a new risk-based model, narrowing the NVD's scope as vulnerability submissions continue to surge.
A simple library and API that accepts any HandCash $handle, RelayX 1handle or PayMail address and resolves it to a Bitcoin SV P2PKH address, as well as accepting and returning valid P2PKH addresses. You can also use it as a lookup service on polynym.io or consume it as a free API over at https://api.polynym.io/getAddress/<address or handle> in any of your projects.
To get started, run npm install polynym in your root directory. Here's an simple example implementation in Node.js:
const express = require('express'),
app = express(),
polynym = require('polynym');
app.get('/getAddress/:id', (req, res) => {
polynym.resolveAddress(req.params.id).then(x => {
res.json(x);
}).catch(e=>{
res.status(400).json(e);
});
});
app.listen(1337);
or using the await/async syntax:
const express = require('express'),
app = express(),
polynym = require('polynym');
app.get('/getAddress/:id', async (req, res) => {
try {
x = await polynym.resolveAddress(req.params.id);
res.json(x);
} catch(e){
res.status(400).json(e);
}
});
app.listen(1337);
In the above example, a GET request to http://localhost:1337/getAddress/$unwriter would return the Bicoin SV address of unwriter's HandCash $handle: {"address":"15EwahT55Yn566A7tagq5Mbyhs8txjZpus"}
