Gateway: The Districts Update (v0.7.8) This is me indexing Bitmap Districts directly from Bitcoin Peers without a full node. Live now. 🤫 github.com/Blockamoto/gatewa… The timeline has levelled up. Play control buttons, track arming, and parallel indexing. ⏯️ You also can set in and out points for ranged indexing. 🔸 Bitmap District indexing 🟧 🔸 Timeline control 🔀 🔸 Play, pause, and stop ⏯️⏹️ 🔸 Track arming for parallel indexing ⏺️ 🔸 Set in/out point for ranged indexing ⬅️➡️ 🔸 Smart auto-in and skip buttons ⏮️⏭️ 🔸 Block-tx-out-satpoint nav buttons ⬆️⬇️ There's a lot that needs to be done still, but that is the case with any update I suppose. First of all, we need the Bitmap tab that shows you a Districts inscription details when you navigate to that block. Yeah, I don't know what happened to that. I'll fix that for the next version v0.7.9. I had to split the District update from the Parcel update after peer review from @boppleton exposed a blind spot in validation. Cheers mate! 😅 The Parcels version will also give me the opportunity to introduce proper parent/child awareness and validation when the data allows. I've also not including Bitmap Chain because the design grew into something that could enable consensus fork tracking... which sounds like a bad thing, until you realize that's how Bitcoin works. A ruleset that forks without a chain is a lack of accountability, and that's the idea of Bitmap Chain. But that's a discussion for another day. And so with that, it needs much further scrutiny and design. I actually implemented it first, then had to remove it along with Parcels. Implementing all that took time, and then removing it took more time. But sometimes the treasure isn't in the chest, it's in the map! 🪎🗺️ And with what we know, for v0.8.0, I plan to completely rebuild indexing to be based on a common indexing engine and schema that will allow users to construct custom indexer tracks in-app. If an existing indexer cannot be rebuilt and stated this way, the engine is not good enough. That's quite a big jump! It will take time. So the deeper Ordinals indexers I was planning can wait until v0.8 when we have custom indexing. Then, the rest of v0.8.x will mainly be focused on validation features, and preparing everything for when we get into v0.9.x versions, which is for enabling Gateway peers. I won't go to in depth because there's a lot I won't know until it's ready. And that's all I have for now! You can check for updates within your existing Gateway installation, or download directly here: github.com/Blockamoto/gatewa… Enjoy! 🫡

The Bitmap Standards I've just published bitmap GitHub, with the refined Standards for Districts and Parcels. It serves to clarify any grey areas. github.com/Blockamoto/bitmap If there are any questions that cannot be answered by the wording of these two standards, then there is still work to do. You can read my rationale in the audit branch, including pages for standard and non-standard rules in historic indexer audits.
