Cardano Daily Discussion - May 02, 2023

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the Cardano Daily Discussion!

The standard sub rules apply here (see sidebar), with the exception that price discussion is allowed in this thread, though we encourage you to try not to make this the focus and talk about the project itself. Please ask questions, help others and be civil - be sure to get involved in Project Catalyst too!

If you're new, please make sure you're read through the newbies guide and share it with others (use the ?newbies comment command to reference it).

​

⚠️ Scam Warning ⚠️

Please read the Cybersecurity guidelines for Cardano Users.

There are ongoing giveaway scams on youtube and many scammers lurking in Cardano's social channels impersonating ambassadors/moderators/official staff contacting users via direct messages.

For example, searching 'cardano' on youtube and sorting by most recent upload date shows several giveaway scams running (all videos in screenshot are scams):

​

Ongoing 'giveaway' scams on Youtube

The youtube scams are automated; use stolen footage usually of Charles Hoskinson and are restreamed so to appear to be 'live'; appear to have many watchers (which are bots); use bought hacked channels and are edited to appear like official channels.

See this post for more examples of what they look like

Do not be fooled!

​

To be clear:

• ⚠️ There is no such thing as a Cardano giveaway
• ⚠️ Never share your seed phrase with ANYONE
• ⚠️ Never send ADA to someone promising to send you more ADA back
• ⚠️ You will never be contacted by ambassadors/moderators/staff

Please report scams on the Cardano Fraud Detection Bureau.

⚠️ Scam Warning ⚠️

Midnight Subreddit

In anticipation of Input Output's new data protection blockchain 'Midnight', I've managed to acquire r/Midnight through some negotiation and repurpose it for the Cardano Community (the sub was created for a card game back in 2011 but was mostly unused).

I decided to do this as I thought the project will eventually need a home on reddit and best to setup now before any scammers do. Obviously there's not much to post about on there right now as it's early days as the project is yet to be released, but if you'd like to be kept up to date on the project please feel free to join the new subreddit if the project interests you and I'll be sure to post updates as and when they become available.

Right now the sub is mostly a carbon copy of r/cardano, I've copied most of the automod and rules over, so certain aspects may seem a little incongruent atm, but I'll tailor and tweak the sub as we go. Feel free to send me or post any input if you want stuff to change.

Cheers all

SpiderWeb ($ARAC) - Quick Fundamentals - Security Features

Hey Spider-Mites,

Today, we will start off with a Quick Fundamental guide on the Security Features of SpiderWeb ($ARAC)! This will be a quick guide to highlight the key points and features within our security features for you to better understand just "How" we intend to protect the information, and "Why" it will be far more secure than the traditional methods used today!
This project was built with the aim to reduce both cost of traditional web hosting and traffic while maximizing focus on providing security as it has become a rampant issue amongst users, both business and personal alike!

Let's Begin!

Spiderweb ($ARAC), is/will be composed of self-built private nodes and public nodes of P2P resources, in essentially 3 tiers, to form a web of decentralized IDC infrastructure:

Tier Structure

For heightened security, Spiderweb ($ARAC) has a built in proactive/passive AI which monitors all traffic and also uses the same SHA256 encryption method as Bitcoin nodes, SO incase of failure or intrusion/hacking events, it will automatically relay and/or retrieve information between other nodes, so that data security is guaranteed! (see photos below!)

Your personal nodes (SDN - See White Paper for more details) will hold about 49% of you data, while the other 51% is fragmented on all other nodes within the network, and the process to rebuild ANY loss data from any POSSIBLE failure events will be easy as well so that users can operate without worry!

​

After SHA256 encryption fragments your data into 100 pieces, it will store it across 100 initial nodes across the network so, with these exciting and amazing features, you can be sure that you can go about your business with a peace of mind!

(SpiderWeb ($ARAC) will also incorporate an eco-friendly and energy-efficient consensus mechanism called "Proof of Use" (PoU), which will be used as a means of reward verification as well!)

(**See the NFT Collection Launch post for more details!**)

Thanks everyone for taking the time to understand our Security features! Once again, for a more detailed explanations of this, please visit our #WhitePaper here: https://discord.gg/TmhneY5SEu !
Hope everyone has a great day and let's weave a brighter future together!
