Generating and Working With ScriptPubKeys in Bitcoin Transactions
As mentioned previously, ScriptPubKeys are scripts that embody the locking conditions of bitcoins in a Bitcoin transaction. They are a crucial element of a Bitcoin transaction that specifies the requirements that must be met before an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is used. The ScriptPubKey, combined with the Amount, creates an output of a Bitcoin transaction. Like every other script, ScriptPubKeys are made up of operators and data. During the encoding of a transaction, both data and the operands are represented in hexadecimal format. You can find the hex representation for all operands used in Bitcoin Scripts here.

Milk Sad: Weak Entropy in libbitcoin (bc) seed generation
Last release 2019, master branch marked as non-functional. Doesn't seem to be very active. Their homepage https://libbitcoin.info/ looks polished, but no signs of recent life. This vulnerability seems unmentioned. Well, they claim it's not a vulnerability but a demo implementation that should not be used to store anything of value. But there is no prominent note about that and some users did exactly that.

- A verdadeira causa da inflação, cortesia do Banco Central Europeu. Bitcoin resolve isto.
