HELP ME MAKE TIS DREAM COME TRUE. A game with a true crypto foundation based off of monster ranchers newer games. NFT MARKETPLACE AND TRADING POST FOR IN GAME ITEMS.

This seems pretty typical but I assure you my vision is sound and I emplore you to keep an open mind and not try to steal this idea seeing as how I posted this and can look it up.

PORTIONS OF THIS MESSAGE WILL BE IN CAP LOCKS AS I HAVE SEMI GOOD EYESIGHT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN OPEN RECRUITMENT AND ALSO NOT AT THE SAME TIME. I WILL BE CONTINUING THIS PROJECT AND LOOKING FOR OTHERS TO IMPLEMENT THEIR SKILLS ALONG WITH MY CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. THIS WILL BE A PRIMARILY US BASED OPERATION BUT WE ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH ANYONE WHO IS A PATRIOT OF THEIR HEMISPHERE. THIS WILL BE AN ECOSYSTEM THAT WILL WORK WITH AS MANY MAJOR CRYPTO PROJECTS AS POSSIBLE. WITHOUT TAKING TOO MUCH OFF THE TOP. WE ONLY WANT THR PENNIES THAT FALL OUT OF THE COFFERS. BUT TRUTHFULLY THEY WILL END UP BACK IN THE COFFERS OR BURNT.

THIS WILL ULTIMATELY END UP BEING A GAME ECOSYSTEM. We need to make some kind of new exchange that tenders everything at a better fixed rate from a repository that's already there. But it can't really be like Coinbase or Metamask yet just as user friendly. I've got a proposition. Anyone who wants to make an exchange that's only accessible through VPNs and or duck duck go, etc. Either or. HMU. I WANNA MAKE A POINT! This will not be for mass profit. Employees would get stipends for coding at a fixed hourly rate that could be privately reported with an email. Their IP would not be on that paper. The only thing that would be on that paper would be the hash rate they took upon themselves and for how long. Just in big boy shrunken codes to assume the position of larger sequences. But not a preset. The coders would know this and share it yet would not share it with the public. Certain sequences would be known to the company to know who is reporting in their computer or computers "Work Load". POINT TWO! THERE WILL BE NO TAXES PAID FOR THIS SERVICE, AS WE WILL BE A UTILITY THAT CAN ONLY BE TRACKED OVER OUR OWN SCANNER FOR TRANSACTIONS BACKED BY WHICHEVER OUTLET FOR THESE SERVICES LIKE ETHERSCAN AS A SECOND OPTION. OR THIRD ETC. YOU ARE FREE TO DO AS YOU PLEASE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PAYING TAXES FOR YOUR EARNINGS. BUT LET ME BE CLEAR, IF YOU WISH TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS DUE TO PERSONAL PREFERENCE, RELIGIOUS REASONS, BELIEF IN ANARCHY, OR ANY CURRENT DISTAIN FOR THE GOVERNMENT SYSTEM. YOU WILL BE RESPECTED. AND I WANNA EXERCISE THE FACT THAT I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHAT I PLEASE AS MY IP IS BASED IN THE USA. FURTHER POSTS WILL BE DONE OVER VPN ALTHOUGH THIS SITE IS PRETTY ANONYMOUS. THIS WILL BE A WHITE MARKET WITH FULL TRANSPARENCY, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE TRANSACTIONS WOULD BE SHOWN IN EXACT AMOUNT TRANSFER RECEIPTS. WITHOUT NAMES AS IS THE TYPICAL MODUS OPERANDI. THIS MUST BE AN ULTRA VERIFICATION SERVICE. AND ONLY CERTIFIED IPS THAT DISCLOSE THEMSELVES TO THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE ROBOTICALLY TENDER TRANSACTIONS AS THEY ARE PROVEN AND OR RARELY FAIL TO PLEASE. MORE THAN LIKELY JUST PROVEN. WE WANT TO TENDER ONLY THE BIG 4 AND THEIR AXIUM. AS WELL AS OUR TOKEN AND ASSETS BASED ON IT. 1. BITCOIN 2. ETHEREUM & SUB-ABLE WITH ETHEREUM 2.0 once traceable. 3. ADA CARDANO FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AS SIMPLE AS STEADY GROWTH. AND HIGH VIABILITY. 4. SHIBA INU COIN (WITH 1% BURNED ON OUR END EVERY TIME SHIBA IS TRADED WITH OUR EXCHANGED COIN.) 5. LASTLY OUR OWN HOUSE MADE TOKEN THAT CATERS TO THE NFTS ON OUR SITE. AS WELL AS TRANSACTIONS WITH ALL OTHER CURRENCIES ON THE PLATFORM. HOW WE WILL SUSTAIN THIS IS TO SELL BOND TOKENS, WITH A CERTAIN WRAPPED AMOUNT OF COINS WITHIN A TOKEN FURNISHED BY US. WHICH CAN BE TRANSFERRED INTO AN UNWRAPPER PROGRAM THAT TAKES THE PART OF OUR POOL CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY ¡FOR FREE! BUT MAY TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO SIFT, AND TRANSFER THE WRAPPED AMOUNT INTO THE MORE FREELY TRADABLE TOKENS (NAME TO BE DECIDED). THIS IS TO MAINTAIN PRICES AND PREVENT HUGE OUTS OF THIS PRIVATE INTRO LEVEL POOL. EVERY DEVELOPER WILL BE GIVEN 7 OF THESE PACKS. BUT WILL BE BANNED FROM TRICKLES FROM POOL TO WALLET AND BACK UNTIL CERTAIN THRESHOLDS ARE MET. THIS IS NOT TO RESTRAIN YOU IF YOU ARE ADDED INTO THIS PROGRAM. IT IS TO FIND PEOPLE WHO ALREADY EXERCISE RESTRAINT AND DON'T MIND STAYING PATIENT. BONDS WILL BE INDIVIDUAL YET COINCIDE WITH THE SUPPLY THAT THE HUB HAS. WE WILL BE A CARTEL THAT IS INACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE EXCEPT THE GENERAL PUBLIC. OUR DEVS WILL HAVE A MONTHLY CAP ON THE AMOUNT THEY CAN BUY OF THE MAIN TOKEN WE TENDER. ALL OTHER COINS THEY HAVE CANNOT AND WILL NEVER BE AT OUR DISCRETION AS LONG AS IT ISN'T IN A COMPANY WALLET. WE WILL NEED TO MONITER ACTIVITY ON THE WALLETS CREATED FOR COMPANY FUNDS. BUT AS YOU KNOW OF WE DON'T HAVE YOUR PASSWORD WE CANNOT ACCESS THESE FUNDS SO THERE IS NO WORRY ABOUT INTERNAL RUG PULLS. ¡WE WILL HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY AGENTS BASED IN THE US ON THE PAYROLL AS WELL. WE NEED EVERYONE TO CORRELATE AND CREATE A NEW EMPORIUM OF NFT TRADE AND CRYPTO SWAPPING IN A STREAMLINE, NEW AGE, AND PRIVATE YET TRANSPARENT PLATFORM. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO HOLD ENOUGH WEALTH TO CREATE AN MMORPG WHERE EVERYTHING CAN BE TRADED FOR MICRO OR EXISTENTIAL AMOUNTS OF CRYPTO. WHERE NON FIAT CURRENCY IS VIBRANT AND NFTS CAN BE DISPLAYED INSIDE PLAYER HOUSES AND BID ON IN GAME RELATIVELY SEAMLESSLY ASIDE FROM NEEDING MORE TRANSPARENCY ON THE PLAYERS PART. THE POINT IS FOR OUR PERSONAL TOKEN TO HOLD SO MUCH WEIGHT AND DEPTH THAT WE CAN PUT MONEY INTO HIRING VERY GOOD NON BIAS DEVELOPERS. WE CAN DO THIS BY CHARGING SMALL FEES AND TRYING TO PROMO TO A LARGE PLAYER BASE. WE WILL TAKE ONLY THE BIG 4 OF THIS SPHERE MAKING IT VERY OPTIMAL FOR UI.

THIS GAME WILL BE LOOSELY BASED ON THE MONSTER RANCHERS SERIES. TRADING ANY ITEM IN THE OPEN MARKET WILL BE "BULK" ONLY. MEANING NO LESS THAN INCREMENTS OF 5, 10, AND 15 ETC. THE COMMUNITY WILL DECIDE PRICES BASED ON DIFFICULTY TO ACQUIRE OR SCARCITY. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF IN GAME ITEMS OF ANY KIND WILL BE MONITORED BUT NOT INFLUENCED. SO AS TO INFLUENCE A CUTTHROAT MARKET ECOSYSTEM.

GOAL. FIND AND BREED MONSTERS THAT LEAVE AFTER THE BABY IS BORN INTO THE GAME. THE LIFEFORM WILL BE RECORDED AND ACHIEVEMENTS WILL BE FILED TO THE PLAYER AS CERTAIN THINGS WILL BE EXTRA RARE. BREEDERS WILL WISH TO MONITOR ALL NEW MONSTER VARIANTS AND SUBTYPES, TO SEND OFFERS IF THE OFFER OPTION IS OPENED BY THE PLAYERS OTHERWISE ITS PRIVATE MINUS THE BREED AND SUBTYPES. BUT NO STATS WILL BE REVEALED TO ANY OTHER PLAYERS UNLESS THEY OWN THE ACHIEVEMENT OF HAVING THAT CREATURE. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO KEEP SUSPENSE UP FOR PEOPLE THAT JOIN PUBLIC TOURNEYS. RANKS WILL BE, S, A, D, F, G, E. THESE RANKS WILL BE IN PUBLIC FIGHTS AS WELL AS PERSONAL GAMEPLAY. ALL ACHIEVEMENTS ARE SHOWN TO ALLIES AND ENEMIES ALIKE. DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WILL GIVE DIFFERENT EFFECTS AND HAVE DIFFERENT TRAINING OPTIONS GIVING STATS AND OR STAT LOSSES BASED ON HOW LARGE THE POTENTIAL GROWTH IS FOR THAT STAT. SHARDS CAN MAKE MONSTERS IF YOU GATHER OR BUY FOUR AND COMBINE THEM. COMBINING WILL TAKE ONE HOUR. BUT YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY TO DO. YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY ENERGY GATES THAT RESTRICT ACTIONS. YOUR PROWESS DEPENDS ON YOUR TRAINING ALGORITHM AND THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR PET. WE WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ADD ANCILLARY ITEMS THAT WILL BR STAPLES LIKE. FOR EXAMPLE BUT NOT AN ACTUAL CONCRETE NAME. "COMBINIUM" WHICH CAN BE FOUND OR BOUGHT FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS FOUND THEM. THERE WILL BE A LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT HELD BUT NOT TOO RESTRICTIVE. THEY WILL ORGANICALLY ENTER THE GAME. REGARDLESS OF DEMAND, AND CAN RUN OUT IF NOT MANAGED OR FARMED. ITEMS WILL BE ADDED TO THE GAME TO ASSIST IN LIFESPAN INCREASE, BECOMING A PERSONAL COACH FOR YOUR FARM AFTER RETIREMENT. WE WILL ADD NFT INTO THE GAME AT A STEADY RATE THROUGH DROPS THAT GIVE NEW TRAINING EQUIPMENT. SO THERE WILL BE A MARKET THERE TOO. THE TRADESMAN FOR THESE EQUIPMENTS WILL SHOW UP AT RATES BASED ON THE IN GAME YEARLY DATE. THIS WILL NEVER RESET AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN AN ACHIEVEMENT THAT SHOWS THE IN GAME DATE YOU STARTED. SPECIAL EVENTS WILL BE SCHEDULED TO EARN MORE COVETED MONSTERS WITH A CHANCE OF MORE RARE VARIANTS OF THE MONSTERS, OR SHARDS OF THEM. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY TRUE RNG SYSTEMS THAT WILL NEVER BE PRIVY TO BIGGER WALLETS. THERE WILL BE NO ACCESS POINT TO BUY YOUR WAY UP THE BRACKET THROUGH GOTCHAS. NFTS WILL BE PLACED IN DISPLAY ROOMS ON YOUR RANCH THAT ARE ENCRYPTED BUT JUST DISPLAYED IN AN EXTERNAL WINDOW THAT PREVENTS SCREEN SHOTS. YOU CANNOT VIEW THE NFTS OF OTHERS WITHOUT AGREEING UPON ENTRY TO NEVER SCREENSHOT AT THE RISK OF BEING DEACTIVATED.

I need my shib army to pull through for me. I'll get the funding if we can get the numbers right. If you read this while thing bless you too Mars and back.

What retirement plan(s) do you recommend, taking into account the following?

  1. Tax Strategies

  2. Potential emergency medical costs in the future

  3. An emergency fund plan consisting of:

  • using any money in my checking/savings accounts
  • selling some investments if necessary likely tax/penalty-free and putting that money into my checking account (from my understanding, if I do have to pay the penalty or taxes, I generally do not have to pay them until 6-12 months later which should likely be enough time to get back on my feet)
  • help from friends and/or family if necessary and/or using my credit card if necessary

An economical, minimalist, slow FI approach to personal finance (retiring when no longer able to work)

  1. A long-term relationship in the future (possibly marriage) (haven’t dated yet, though I’d like a long-term relationship)

  2. An unknown SWR (currently 3.5%..maybe more..maybe less) (could change in the future)

  3. Self-employment, contracting, freelance, or entrepreneurship (being employed by a business that’s not mine or the government if necessary)

  4. Likely not having the same job(s) or business forever due to a rapidly changing job market

  5. My age (22 years)

  6. A significant decline in real returns of US stocks for the next 10 years.

  7. Planning on ideally using a non-profit hospital in the event of an emergency (and possibly asking for financial forgiveness)

  8. An HSA (for non-emergency medicine, plastic surgery if ever needed, vaccines, and emergency medicine)

  9. Possibly using my parents’ private health insurance for emergencies, plastic surgery if ever needed, and vaccines (planning on paying for the portion of deductible that I use in order to be autonomous) (saving all receipts to possibly decrease tax liability with medical bills)

  10. A desire to have holistic care rather than conventional care if it ever came down to it (nursing home, assisted living, etc.)

  11. An investment portfolio (which will likely change over time) of…

  • FNLIX (S&P 500 index fund with 0% expense ratio) (80% of portfolio) (likely will lower allocation of this and increase allocation of other investments)
  • FZLIX (international index fund with 0% expense ratio) (18% of portfolio)
  • Alternative Investments (Bitcoin [1.2% of portfolio], Ethereum [.8% of portfolio], Individual Stock[s], NFT[s]?, Sports Card[s]?, Comic Book[s]?, Video Game[s]?)

Is Eruce legit?

ANSWER: Very likely not. See edits.

I just came across Eruce (dot com) that sells music quite cheaply (including songs that are not available on iTunes and Amazon, mainly looking at j-pop). Does anybody know if this site operates legally (as in, do they have the legal right to sell mp3s and FLACs)? Has anyone heard of these guys before? There are certain things that give me pause, such as the very limited information and references to the site that I can find on Google. Thank you in advance.

Edit: Their "about me" reads: "In 2007, we were so proud to be awarded ‘Label of the Year’ by Grendia Magazine." I can find no reference to that magazine on Google. And the first reference to eruce I can find online dates to three years ago when it was reported that they started accepting bitcoin. Something strange is going on here.

Edit: Found this on a Touhou doujin site: "Please don’t use Eruce.com to purchase digital albums. It’s not an authorized website, but moreover, it sells rips of event-limited stuff (such as Lovely Life), which aren’t available in legal sources." Now I'm convinced that eruce is not legit. Leaving this here as documentation for the next person who runs into this site.

How does running a node give you the power to decide which chain is valid?

Sorry if it's a noob question, I'm not even sure it is good formulated. I'm trying to understand all aspects of Bitcoin but I still don't get the following:

I've read that running a full node empowers you to validate the transactions and hence having a copy of the valid Blockchain. But what does it happen on events that require some agreement, or that cause a split? For example, when Bitcoin Cash was created: How could a user running a node decide whether his/her coins would belong to one chain or the other?

I'm not really sure it works that way and whether people running nodes have to have a 50+% agreement in order to solve eventual discrepancies.

I hope the question is clear. Otherwise some reference to additional bibliography would be appreciated!

Cheers


unknown tips to dodge Cheaters

Hey fellow Head,Eyes enjoyer.
I play labs main and I learned a lot of things the last years in 5500 hours to dodge the cheaters. There are some common mistakes people do that will make you actually more targetable by cheaters. I usually never run into a cheater outside of labs.

Tip Number 1: Don't play on low populated servers.
This is something I always tell my friends. These Servers are no secret. You don't really outsmart other players for easy loot, in fact, they actually spawn less loot. ( tested over wipes with friends low pop servers spawn less AI / Raiders & lose loot ( which is the highest value loot )
Cheaters, especially the real money traders, play on these servers. Why? Because less reports - it's that simple. They lose a lot getting banned actually. The cheaters that shoot you through walls are rage cheaters that only do carry service. If they get banned, they don't really lose a lot beside their account. Real money traders however, lose all the value they farmed + the account + way more progress ( since they usually play "less effecient" to not get reported and play on a single account way more / farm more ) .
If you play on High populated servers you also have a way higher chance to not run into a cheater at all in the lobby. Best example : Labs being free last wipe. I ran labs only the days before that event and ran on average into a cheater every 3-5 raids. The day labs was free? 6h of 0 cheaters. I'm dead serious.
6 hours equals around 30 raids of no cheaters at all. It blew my mind.

Tip Number 2: Try to play on central NA servers or high populated servers only. East and West Coast servers are targeted by carry service ( because most RMT cheaters are coming from countries where you can make a living of cheats which is usually eastern europe or asia ) These can't connect on central servers. Additionally to that I recommend to not play early in the morning or at night on west coast servers since it's daytime in Asia then and yea...

Tip Number 3: Don't run meta loadouts if you don't wanna die to a cheater. This was huge this wipe with the Flea Market being level 20. I tested it personally and I died 5 raids in a row on any map ( customs,shoreline,woods ) to cheaters. Why? Because it was hard to make money with very slow flea market traffic and they can see with their cheats what value a player has on him. Meta mutant + slick + exfil? Easy 600k+ for a cheater selling to traders. As soon as I ran lower tier gear to run my tasks I survived every single raid - no cheaters at all. Especially shoreline is huge when it comes to this. Why? Because they spawn and see : no ledx, no red keycard, no blue keycard, no bitcoin - oh look! a TTV meta gear pmc with 600k worth of gear! Guess that's my goal for this raid!

Tip Number 4: If you really don't wanna die to cheaters because you are low on money - dodge top tier loot items early wipe. This is huge. I tested it running reserve for tank batteries and guess what - no cheaters the entire raid until I opened that room with a tank battery inside. 1-2 Minutes later a rage cheater pushed me. They don't want you to extract with it and wouldn't turn on their cheats unless the loot is in "danger" and not reachable for them without cheats.

Tip Number 5: Just don't play labs. Seriously, Labs is the highest value map IF you survive ( because of the keycard price ) and IF you have the keycards ( red,violet,blue,green,black ) Cheaters never die and have all keycards / access to the rooms. Labs is not the best loot map if you don't own the keycards I promise you. No matter the time of wipe - just raiders and lose loot is not worth the risk of running into top players, fighting crazy Raiders & paying 200k+ to enter the map. Surviving on other maps is way more valueable - especially Interchange. If you play shoreline and loot the village or woods and just survive most of your raids you will make crazy amount of money. I think a lot of people hard underestimate how much money you can make that isn't tech store interchange, Labs or Reserve tank battery / marked room. There is a reason why more and more cheaters actually target interchange over Labs recently. A friend of mine was sitting on 100 million+ roubles by maining Woods early wipe. Why? Because 90% survival rate. Moonshine,Sthurman, Violet Keycard spawns and huge amount of food & loot spawns in the towns and new loot locations are super underrated for money.

Yea cheaters suck but there are ways to have a close to cheater free experience for weeks in this game. If you follow these steps you will most likely never experience a cheater if you are lucky - I promise.

Cardano Rumor Rundown August 28, 2021

Hey Everyone!

Let's go...

Newly covered today:

  1. Cardano competitor Ethereum suffered a consensus bug today (Aug 27) that impacted 54% of nodes. Apparently they were able to upgrade the version of Geth being run by a majority of the pools in time to head off a majority supported fork to the bad chain. But, the go ethereum developer in the link described it as “a really close shave”. https://twitter.com/mhswende/status/1431259601530458112 https://twitter.com/TimBeiko/status/1431278258222338056
  2. IOHK has initiated the testnet fork (Aug 27)! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1431286232278085634
  3. The “go/no-go” meeting was today (Aug 27) on initiating the Alonzo hardfork combinator event for the 12th. The result was a “go”! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1431286232278085634

Previously Covered but still interesting:

  1. Wolfram CEO, John Woodard, drops a guest article with IOHK on NFT liveminting. The article seems to have a good amount of focus on the community building potential of NFTs. I think that could be a big growth area for the future. https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/07/22/wolfram-and-cardano-build-communities-with-nfts-and-liveminting/
  2. IOHK has released its Conclave paper on collective stakepools. https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/742.pdf
  3. Here’s the IOHK Development Update for July 23! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1418635822987943939
  4. Cardano received some coverage in the Motley Fool as an eco-friendly crypto! https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/cryptocurrency/articles/4-eco-friendly-cryptos-you-should-know-about/
  5. Big lesson for future Cardano DeFi projects: Uniswap Labs just had to censor the Uniswap UI to ban synthetics of underlying securities. Bucket shops have been around for 150 years and illegal for 100 years. It turns out that you can’t do it in crypto either. https://twitter.com/Uniswap/status/1418697012095164420 https://twitter.com/haydenzadams/status/1418961999539712006
  6. Check out this new video of the World Mobile Team on the ground in Zanzibar. Doesn’t this feel like a better mission for our ecosystem than DeFi? https://twitter.com/WorldMobileTeam/status/1419051567878221828
  7. Reports are coming in that Amazon plans to integrate Bitcoin, Cardano, ETH, & BCH in the very near future. This has apparently been a work in progress for several years. https://www.cityam.com/amazon-definitely-lining-up-bitcoin-payments-and-token-confirms-insider/
  8. Adam Dean brings us open source code to accept ADA in your Woo Commerce store. https://twitter.com/adamKDean/status/1419495005983371264
  9. Weiss Crypto has very good things to say about Cardano. https://twitter.com/WeissCrypto/status/1419685634566938634
  10. Check out this new bot that tweets every time it discovers a Cardano Giveaway Scam! The tweets show ISP and geolocation info for the scammers. Follow this bot and report the scammers! Brought to us by @nicknikiforakis. Thanks for building this, Nick! https://twitter.com/CardanoPhishing
  11. The regulatory purge of stablecoins is getting into full swing now with Bloomberg running a piece on a DOJ criminal probe of the Tether founders. Of particular note for the Cardano ecosystem is that the first attack surface for regulators is the relationship of the stablecoin with legacy banking institutions. This is something that Cardano ecosystem stablecoin, Djed, may already fix with its own crypto backed reserve system. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-26/tether-executives-said-to-face-criminal-probe-into-bank-fraud?srnd=economics-vp
  12. Nami Wallet now allows you to mint NFTs for no extra fees (only Cardano network fees) inside the wallet. https://twitter.com/NamiWallet/status/1420031000017608717
  13. More pressure for Crypto regulation is coming to bear today in the U.S. This time it comes in the form of a letter from Senator Elizabethe Warren to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (in her position as Chair of the Financial Stability Oversight Council which brings together 10 different financial regulators including the SEC, CFTC, and the Federal Reserve). The letter was sent after a Senate Banking Committee hearing titled “Cryptocurrencies: What are they good for?” https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/27/elizabeth-warren-presses-yellen-financial-regulator-to-manage-crypto.html
  14. Stephen Wolfram does the first NFT liveminting event where he creates NFTs of cellular automata from the computational universe while live on stream. The first two created were “Crashing Waves” and “Down Arrows”. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1420087229104283656
  15. A new Cardano NFT Marketplace is now live and receiving a lot of attention. https://twitter.com/CNFT_IO/status/1419655915226152961
  16. Project Catalyst now has 30k members! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1420474342253678599
  17. Emurgo has released an article about what we can expect from the Yoroi dApp Connector. https://emurgo.io/blog/emurgo-is-thrilled-to-announce-the-yoroi-dapp-connector
  18. Reports are coming in that the new bipartisan Infrastructure Bill contains new provisions that might require a whole host of actors within crypto ecosystems like Cardano to report transactions over $10k. https://www.coindesk.com/new-infrastructure-bill-looks-to-raise-30b-through-crypto-tax https://www.marketwatch.com/story/crypto-allies-rally-against-ignorant-new-tax-rules-in-bipartisan-infrastructure-deal-11627578844 https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/status/1420724068286926853
  19. But this bill is an even bigger deal. If passed as-is, we can probably say RIP to the Wild West Era of crypto (2009-2021). https://beyer.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=5307
  20. The July Cardano 360 can now be viewed on Youtube. https://youtu.be/AG5DspF9tuA
  21. John O’Connor was on SkyNews discussing the Ethiopian Ministry of Education project! He stressed that this was not a profit center for IOHK, and had a chance to refute the “crypto colonialism” strain of thought. https://vimeo.com/581137605
  22. We are kings of the github commits once again! https://twitter.com/ProofofGitHub/status/1421138529908842502
  23. The differences between the currently dominant smart contract blockchain and Cardano’s upcoming smart contract architecture keep getting highlighted by dramatic failures of the former. https://twitter.com/WeissCrypto/status/1421064543900418048
  24. Don’t forget that registration for the Cardano Summit is live. https://summit.cardano.org
  25. In case you missed the July Cardano 360 and don’t have a lot of time. Here is the always great Cardano 360 Mini! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1421803459997835266
  26. Reports are coming in that we’ve got final language from the crypto tax reporting piece of the Infrastructure Bill. It’s better but not great or even good. https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/status/1422002228102107142
  27. The Charles AMAs returned on August 1 after a brief break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKY6VwVq02s
  28. A quarter million votes were cast in Catalyst Fund 5 voting! Apparently, this is over 10x what we saw in Fund 2. https://twitter.com/danny_cryptofay/status/1422253955816505345
  29. Here’s a very good read on one vision for prosperity via CBDC and how such a currency should interact with existing blockchains like Cardano. https://twitter.com/RealNatashaChe/status/1422270993498705921
  30. Cardano has been listed by Bitpoint in Japan! https://www.bitpoint.co.jp/news/info/info-2021080301/
  31. Senators Wyden and Toomey are trying to fix the crypto provisions in the Infrastructure Bill! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-03/crypto-rules-in-infrastructure-bill-eyed-for-bipartisan-rewrite
  32. SEC Chair Gensler gave another speech strongly signaling that a lot of stablecoins, lending platforms, synthetics platforms, and other DeFi projects are probably non-compliant in the eyes of the SEC. I would heed this warning very carefully if I were one of those projects. https://www.sec.gov/news/public-statement/gensler-aspen-security-forum-2021-08-03 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tusQLLCgrDs
  33. The Yoroi Wallet is already making improvements in preparation for the dApp Connector release! https://twitter.com/YoroiWallet/status/1422905221793996809
  34. We’re now up to 5 different states that are getting after BlockFi for their crypto lending activities. Reportedly, this includes New Jersey, Vermont, Alabama, Kentucky, & Texas.

  35. Charles dropped an update to let us know that Light Purple Alonzo will come next week. That will bring in exchange partners. Mid-month there will be an update with official dates given for a primary date and a fallback date for triggering the hardfork combinator event. The fallback date will likely be one epoch (five days later). Part of this depends on how the exchange partners are doing with their integrations. Charles says it looks like late August or the first week of September. There will be a live HFC party where they will deploy “some things” minutes after the HFC. The Plutus Application Backend (PAB) might be integrated on something like September 10th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y261_eImsE
  36. Cardano’s closest competitor, Ethereum, carries out it’s EIP-1559 London Fork which creates a new transaction fee scheme including some burning of fees and a more predictable base fee with an additional tip option on top. While the long term impact is unclear, the immediate aftermath of the fork seems to be even higher fees. We’ll see if this is just due to high transaction volume at the moment. Of course, part of this is already solved by Cardano’s deterministic fee system enabled by its local state as opposed to the global state in the Ethereum system. https://twitter.com/Birdson64827145/status/1423324771303972867
  37. Senators Toomey, Wyden, & Lummis took to the Senate Floor to plead for a vote on their amendment which would fix the overly broad crypto tax reporting provisions in the Infrastructure Bill. https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/status/1423381402905726983 https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/status/1423413806634577922
  38. The Toomey, Lummis, Wyden Amendment was then challenged by a competing amendment from Senators Warner, Portman, and Sinema which only excluded proof-of-work block validators and sellers of wallets from the tax reporting requirements. This terrible competing amendment was then immediately endorsed by the White House. This is a serious danger to our industry! Please call your Senators and ask them to support the Toomey/Wyden/Lummis Amendment! https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/status/1423429377459736577 https://twitter.com/WardDPatrick/status/1423464991441702912

  42. Senator Warner made not one but two revisions to his amendment to the crypto provisions in the Infrastructure Bill. Both revisions were good for Cardano since they included proof-of-stake implicitly and then explicitly. https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/status/1424040216961114112 https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/status/1424074177770921992
  43. Both Gene Simmons and Ted Cruz came out in support of the competing Wyden-Lummis-Toomey Amendment to the Infrastructure Bill. Gene Simmons has previously revealed his Cardano purchases. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1424097173172637697
  44. After the Senate called it a day on the Infrastructure Bill Amendment debate, it sounded like there might have been some dealmaking going on among Wyden, Portman, Warner, and Toomey. The Senate will be back at it tomorrow at Noon. https://twitter.com/mikedebonis/status/1424143941914566659

  48. Very action packed day today (Aug 9). The Toomey-Lummis-Portman-Sinema came together and proposed a compromise amendment to the crypto tax reporting provisions in the Infrastructure Bill. They were not able to include any section for exclusion of developers from the “broker” definition but did cover the previous progress on transaction validators and wallet sellers. https://twitter.com/SenToomey/status/1424777137500864513
  49. Toomey-Lummis-Portman-Sinema sought the required unanimous consent, but their attempt was thwarted by a disagreement over $50 billion in defense spending. https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/status/1424832132204138503
  50. Several co-chairs of the Blockchain Caucus have already written a letter to all the members of the House of Representatives letting them know of the dire need to fix these crypto provisions once the bill hits the House. https://twitter.com/RepTomEmmer/status/1424845416697323522
  51. There’s a new CIP to create an off-chain metadata standard from Matthias Benkort, Michael Peyton Jones, and Polina Vinogradova. https://twitter.com/_KtorZ_/status/1425162918363111425 https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/pull/112
  52. The Biggest Lobster Trap Harvest ever!!! A hacker decided to harvest over $600 million from the Polynetwork Bridge. We learned this lesson in the 2016 DAO Hack, but it’s really time that people stop giving up custody of their coins. https://twitter.com/ksatyarth2/status/1425140128784084994
  53. Senator Shelby laughably tried to claim he actually supported the crypto amendment in a tweet. The derision from the crypto community flowed like water out of the Amazon. https://twitter.com/SenShelby/status/1425142857199980550

  81. Coinbase is going to invest $500M into crypto and 10% of all profit going forward (probably increasing with time) according to Brian Armstrong.

  90. If Web 3 will really be a building of new economies out of online communities and the units of value of those economies will be tokens and NFTs, it seems like a blockchain like Cardano that can generate those assets natively without smart contracts is going to be a central player. https://twitter.com/cdixon/status/1429585831899983876

  98. dcSpark is unveiling a sidechain project called Milkomeda that will use wrapped ADA and so-called “wrapped smart contracts”. The first sidechain, M1, will be an Ethereum Virtual Machine sidechain. This means Solidity devs can deploy their current smart contract code in M1 and those smart contracts will be accessible to Cardano users. This is “the pond”. This will be HUGE! Good work dcSpark! You guys are killing it! https://medium.com/dcspark/dcspark-announces-development-of-new-sidechain-protocol-milkomeda-cc28ed764a89

  100. It’s interesting to note that (as pointed out by @Rob98550139) on June 23rd, EBU of Luxembourg also offered 5,000 scholarship’s in “Plutus Blockchain programming for Cardano Blockchain” to Nayib Bukele for El Salvador. Something unannounced going on there? https://twitter.com/EBULuxembourg/status/1407594850199953410
