The current situation of the economy has no bearing on the operation of the IKONIC Metaverse

The current situation of the economy has no bearing on the operation of the IKONIC Metaverse. Because this project was finished to everyone's satisfaction, we are able to draw the conclusion that our efforts were not a waste of time. As a direct consequence of this inquiry, a fresh viewpoint of the metaverse has surfaced. It is difficult to speculate on what the inhabitants of the IKONIC metaverse will find waiting for them when they step into the future. Receivers and speakers equipped to support NFT are essential components for virtual meetings. Despite the fact that you and your partner identify with different genders, it might be beneficial for both of you to participate in a sport in which there is no gender bias. Now is the time to purchase tickets for events that are being sponsored by the National Football League (commonly known as NFTs). These tickets give holders access to a wide variety of sporting and recreational events. There is no reason to feel guilty about making a few backup copies of your data and keeping them on hand at all times.

DID YOU KNOW?: HOW DID CRYPTOCURRENCIES BEGIN?

In 2008, the white paper Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, written by Satoshi Nakamoto, outlines the operation of the Bitcoin blockchain network. The events that followed were paved by this day in Bitcoin history.

The first block of the Bitcoin network was mined four months later by Satoshi Nakamoto, whose true identity is still unknown, thereby launching the blockchain technology. The Genesis Block is another name for the very first mined block.

Cardano Rumor Rundown July 29, 2022

Hey Everyone!

Let's go...

Newly covered today:

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis showed a -0.9% GDP growth print this morning (July 28). That’s two quarters in a row of negative growth which corresponds to a common definition of a recession although the National Bureau of Economic Research is considered the official arbiter of recessions and marks such events based on a wide range of economic factors analyzed over many months. https://www.bea.gov/ https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/28/economy/us-economy-second-quarter-gdp/index.html
The July Cardano 360 was released today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHHVaxkHFrE
The ADA Realm & Actum Games AMA recording is now available in discord. https://discord.com/channels/903957555083087892/913541370436808754
CardaStation just onboarded a game developer to their team who spent the last six years at Ubisoft working on games like Riders Republic and Ghost Recon. https://discord.com/channels/908827661504237599/909005782790586379

Previously Covered but still interesting:

Allen Wu makes some great points about the differences between Cardano’s Ouroboros proof-of-stake protocol and Ethereum proof-of-stake. https://twitter.com/AllenWu29331265/status/1543865378816036864
One possible solution to the Spacebudz art problem is a token migration. https://twitter.com/CardanoNoodz/status/1544326010266591233
The crypto space is slowly realizing that Cardano has a huge and powerful community. https://twitter.com/dunleavy89/status/1544302686736203783
Duncan Coutts talks input endorsers, P2P, and Vasil with CityAM. https://www.cityam.com/1895737-2/
It turns out that even some crypto veterans appointing themselves as “Bitcoin Experts” don’t actually understand crypto. https://twitter.com/jimmysong/status/1543364278014582787 https://twitter.com/el33th4xor/status/1006931658338177024 https://twitter.com/adrian_brink/status/1543469963679305729 https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1544064073075023872
We now have some Artifct Moon updates in discord. https://discord.com/channels/882364185244237884/920120911414300773
We’re seeing (possibly deliberate) misinformation out of maximalists of other chains regarding the Vasil Upgrade. The false claim is that current Cardano smart contracts will not be compatible with Vasil. https://twitter.com/timbharrison/status/1544608886073745408
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced the first four winners of its contest to find quantum resistant algorithms. This is a great step forward that will benefit the crypto space as we move toward an era of quantum computing. https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2022/07/nist-announces-first-four-quantum-resistant-cryptographic-algorithms https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1544680510781362177
Voyager has filed for a Chapter 11 Restructure reportedly due to 3AC exposure. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/06/crypto-firm-voyager-digital-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection.html https://twitter.com/Ehrls15/status/1544550249519357952
Pavia now has a youtube tutorial on how to use their builder tool. https://twitter.com/Pavia_io/status/1544695990434889728
There are reports (could be either true or false) that WingRiders may have actually been paid a bounty to reveal the MinSwap vulnerability. https://twitter.com/xyconst/status/1544730222985183233 https://twitter.com/Dubbleu_43/status/1544735751677661184 https://twitter.com/CardanosInsider/status/1544701097360740360
Charles is back! Weekly AMAs to resume shortly starting with an episode from Mongolia. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1544801324205633536
John Woods is leaving for Algorand. Apparently, he was just filling in for Duncan Coutts while Duncan was on paternity leave. John’s new position should open up opportunities for Cardano to work with Algorand in the future. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1545104714139705346 https://twitter.com/JohnAlanWoods/status/1545060330467799040
The Virtua Cardano Island mint began today. There was some confusion because the NFT policy does not appear to be locked. Virtua is saying that’s only for the land deeds which will be used in a land claim event to claim your actual parcel which will come from a locked policy. https://twitter.com/VirtuaMetaverse/status/1545125051955138560
Looks like Kevin Hart is partnering with Virtua. https://twitter.com/VirtuaMetaverse/status/1546035980964175872?t=fX59ZL2nRxChi80OOf9pfQ&s=19
Here’s a dev report of 10x reduction in script size with the script references that will come with Vasil. https://twitter.com/AncientKraken/status/1545864034083225600
There is a very cool new blockchain visualizer for Cardano. https://eutxo.org/ https://twitter.com/conraddit/status/1546221160211283969
It looks like the Carda Station racing game is actually live inside their metaverse. https://www.cardastation.com/play/?x=60&y=23
Wingriders ads take on a decidedly different tone. https://twitter.com/wingriderscom/status/1546162936187703298
It looks like Pavia is getting closer and closer to shipping the new website and new map user interface. https://twitter.com/Pavia_io/status/1546444771325104128

[OFFER] I'll write literally all your content for the next six months, for $500

Social media, ads, landing pages, sales pages, you name it. I even write blog posts and YouTube scripts.

I'm a creative content writer, trying to build up a portfolio of work.

Some examples of my work

DM me, say hi, let me know about your project and we can work out the kinks over a call, or email. I'm only taking on a few people, so I can maintain the quality of my work.

I'd say this offer comes out to around $0.01 to $0.02 per word, but I'm not counting words. Give me a writing project and I'll do it.

Want an entire month of content done? Then it's done. Need a concise YouTube or podcast script? I've got you. Need to work with an engaging writer on a long term basis? Hi, let's be friends.

All I'm asking for is honest reviews, and 500 bucks.
