$HoodRat | Most undervalued token with a doxed team releasing a Machine-Learning Risk Assessment Tool (RAT) to assess scams! ✅ Celebrity Endorsed [$1.2m mcap] ✅ 2 Months old ✅ Product launch in August!

The HoodRat team has been working hard behind the scenes to create a strong base and focused on the product development. HoodRat is probably the most undervalued gem in the ecosystem, and is releasing something that the whole crypto community needs.

These are the updates provided by the team (as seen on their Telegram):

The team has met and has discussed various implementations and strategies to take our project further. Not only does this comprise of the development on a technical point of view, it also addresses our marketing campaign.

  1. We have decided to rebrand our Token's name in order to facilitate the adoption and make it more suitable to the general public.

The unveiling of the name as well as the new visuals will be done as soon as it's done being re-designed, as well as the domain name being purchased, CMC/CG/BscScan/TrustWallet logo changed. This will also comprise of the modification of the How-To-Buy video as well as the previously announced promotional video.

  1. We will unveil the new name for the Scambuster tool at the same time.

  2. The website will be rebranded as well as having the final graphic charter in place. This will provide people and the team with clean Design Guidelines for further professionalism.

  3. The development of the Scambuster is advancing as expected. Currently it is functional to the bone, meaning only a command-line interfaced version exist. The next part of the development roadmap is to connect the back-end to the front-end and start developing the User Interface.

  4. The dApp page is functional, we will release a timeline as to when users will be able to connect their wallet, see their holdings and purchase Hoodrat directly on the website. A feature will also be added where it will detect how much you hold and see if you qualify to enter the Whales Club. The dApp page functionality is a part of the development of the Scambuster tool, as it is our Business Model component.

  5. A Teaser video announcing the beta release as well as the event around it (HoodRat Keynote) will be done and aligned with our marketing strategy.

  6. A beta private testing access will be opened (with marketing done for it as well, such as a contest) for a select few in order to gather last crucial User Experience information and fine tune more in prevision of the beta launch.

  7. More media will be created, with different supports which will make it easier for people to identify us, make it easier for holders to shill the project, as well as helps to improve the communications.

  8. We are in talks with several digital news outlets and will release articles as soon as the beta is out. Also in talks with a large (+1M) crypto community that charges 1 Bitcoin for a promotion on their website. Billboards are also in the plans.

  9. Dan (who is a speaker on David Gokhshtein's twitter spaces) will be presenting HoodRat as soon as our name is rebranded and the beta is out. This will be an exclusive presentation with a +200k crypto audience. Our tool is needed in the space and we will have the perfect channels to raise the awareness.

  10. Dan will also collect and get in touch with other crypto influencers as we plan to blast fully as soon as the tool is done.

  11. Our legal entity will be formed, as we are in the talks regarding statuses, equity and responsibility. This is a needed stepping stone as we can provide a greater investor confidence, provide NDAs for future collaborators and get in touch with the VC companies being interested in our project.

  12. Still inquiring on the fiat-to-crypto adoption service, which will make it easier for people to acquire Hoodrat.

  13. Our LP unlocks on November 13th, date when we can officially change the token's name (on the blockchain) and change chains as well, to steer away from BSC's centralized limitations and be more aligned with future regulations that will be imposed to us in the future.

  14. Starting today, we will re-organise the Admin and Moderating team in order to provide greater communications, as well as prepare more material which makes it easier and more structured for people to read. This is also done with the aim of reaching new communities (specific localized markets or other crypto communities). We will also redevelop our Discord, as well as making a platform dedicated entirely to developers who wish to contribute. A Medium page will also be done to increase further the need for communication regarding large updates.

  15. HoodRat will provide a contract review/Audit service as part of our project, and will be facilitated after our Beta release.

If you have any further questions, the team will be glad to answer. Thank you for your support and understanding, let's see you in the finishing line!! ❤️❤️

Rug pulls don’t only affect investors, they affect the entire crypto community. This is why we exist and what our vision is, to identify rug pulls BEFORE they happen and give investors peace of mind.

How to buy a Replica watch from a site (guidelines)

Buyers behavior is the action people take with regard to buying and using products. The same way when buying any item in the shop, we take all necessary attempts to verify it carefully according to desired dimensions . Similarly, buying a Rep watch needs lots of gauging.

Firstly, sign up to the rep watch selling site for example you're choosing www.jtimewatch.net and make sure you agree to the site's terms and conditions. How to choose a watch that suits you? There are an unlimited number of styles of watches and it is important to identify the look and use of your watch. Is this watch intended for clothing, sports, active or casual use. Each of the scenarios listed is different and will require a different style of watch to ensure fashion and function when wearing. So, choose wisely. Whatever watch model you want to buy, search it on the website. After you find it, email the TD on the authority contact email given there and get some information about the particular model number that you are keen on. It's not necessary the watch is always in stock so the seller will check with the factory, nonetheless, in some cases the watch will not be accessible once you have placed your order and the TD gets back to the factory. At the point when they answer that it is available, and in the event that you are truly distrustful affirm time period for them to gain from processing factory, in any case feel free to arrange, hang tight half a month for QC. After the watch selection is done make sure you ensure following things with the dealer:

Guaranteeing that you know precisely the thing you are purchasing (and affirming with the TD by PM or email that the watch you need is really available.

Perusing the vendor's agreements prior to settling the negotiation.

Carefully following the instructions under the watch before making payment.

Make sure you stand with the payment methods before closing the deal.

Make sure to ask about the return policy in case of any damage.

Make sure to maintain your patience, the site receives hundreds of order a day and it will definitely take time to deliver especially when Its out of UK or USA.

Thus, extreme end is that when purchasing another watch you need to think about its :-

i} Brand.

ii} Authority.

iii} Quality.

iv} Look.

v} Size.

vi} choosing the right store.

Please note that the payment is available with credit card, PayPal and bitcoins. Also you should likewise acknowledge that there could be customs can stop the item while crossing the boundaries If it's not too much trouble, read dealers' agreements with the goal that you realize what will happen should the present circumstance emerge.

Presently, I am certain on the off chance that you have red this article cautiously you can settle on you own choice to go with what you need.

Thanks a lot!

What could make the crypto market bounce back up?

Hi all,

Bit of a "not-so-hot-take", but I wouldn't mind that 100 K Bitcoin everyone keeps mentioning, in a few months. I have been invested since February, so please excuse my ignorance... Also will be DCA-ing for the foreseeable future and I am in it for the long term. Just would like to see some green in my portfolio again.

What are some of the upcoming events you are expecting/hoping to be a trigger for the market to bounce back up? Maybe you could give some examples of previous market situations, where a declining trend and negative sentiment got turned around, as an effect of some circumstances?

Thanks!


Monero --> Bitcoin technical question

This is NOT intended for nefarious purposes, just curious of technical nature of the swapping of Monero to Bitcoin because I love blockchain tech.

Simply, does possessing Monero and converting it to Bitcoin cut off the traceability of Bitcoin from say a KYC exchange to your personal wallet? Another way, does the introduction of Monero into the exchange equation "wash" Bitcoin? What are the underlying blockchain events that are occurring and does this increase the theoretical privacy of Bitcoin?

I absolutely understand that Bitcoin blockchain is public ledger, etc. and ultimately COULD be traced to your wallet if there is any historical connection between a KYC ACH-connected exchange and your wallet through the witness of multiple transfers.

Cardano Rumor Rundown July 15, 2021

Hey Everyone!

Let's go...

Newly covered today:

  1. In news that could have significant repercussions for many stablecoin reliant Cardano DeFi projects, Fed Chair Jerome Powell gave some hard signals that they will regulate stablecoins in House Committee testimony. He revealed that the Fed will issue its long-awated paper on stablecoins, CBDCs, and other digital assets in September. Powell also went as far as to say "You wouldn't need stable coins you wouldn't need cryptocurrencies if you had a digital US currency, I think that's one of the stronger arguments in its favor." https://twitter.com/Nate_DiCamillo/status/1415349008034418691
  2. We experienced a successful fork to the Alonzo White testnet! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1415399456841863177
  3. Very serious accusations are laid out against the Meld project. https://twitter.com/Bobme808/status/1415283648438358016

Previously Covered but still interesting:

  1. Charles is helping to bring the cryptographer who broke SHA-1 to the University of Wyoming. The Cardano funded blockchain lab there could be on the road to be a powerhouse. https://twitter.com/CaitlinLong_/status/1398290866419105802 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiqun_Lisa_Yin
  2. We don’t often get to hear from the engineers behind Yoroi over at Emurgo. But, here’s a podcast with Vicente Almonacid from Emurgo. Check out 12:50 where he mentions the dApp Connector (Cardano’s Metamask Equivalent). https://twitter.com/vacuumlabs/status/1397847633696280576
  3. Check out this great article from Cardanians.io on the work being done at the University of Wyoming on a physical chip for transfer of private keys in day-to-day cashlike transactions. https://cardanians.io/en/cardano-can-give-crypto-a-cash-like-experience-58
  4. Professor Aggelos Kiayias recently dropped a video explaining exactly how Mithril (apparently neckbeard dungeon master talk for elf armor) is going to allow for Perfect Cardano (ADA) wallets that combine the ease of use and convenience of light wallets with the trustlessness of full node wallets. We also learned exactly how Mithril is going to work. https://youtu.be/LhepJFCyWRk
  5. In proof-of-work, bootstrapping can be done with blockheaders. This won’t do in proof-of-stake since we need information about stakeholder distribution to confirm block validity.
  6. Mithril fixes this by being a cryptographic construction that enables a population of stakeholders to issue a signature consistent with certain constraints.
  7. For Mithril to work in proof-of-stake, it needs three crucial properties: 1) it needs to enforce a threshold ratio of stakeholders before the signature is issued; 2) the pre-signature fragments must be independently verified and subject to public aggregation; and 3) it must be efficient in the sense that the final signature is of constant size and is logarithmically dependent on the # of stakeholders.
  8. Stakeholders will issue special Mithril keys along with the normal cryptographic key material. Then at regular intervals, full nodes will test whether they can produce a pre-signature fragment. Only a random subset of stakeholders will be eligible to produce a pre-signature fragment. When a sufficient # of pre-signature fragments have been issued by eligible stakeholders then it will be possible to aggregate the fragments into a final signature.
  9. This will be a checkpoint that will be verifiable with respect to previous check points all the way back to the genesis block. Such checkpoints will be cryptographic commitments of the relevant UTXOs.
  10. Since the checkpoints will be trustless, a light client (i.e. wallet) will only need to verify the sequence of checkpoints up to the current time to trustlessly bootstrap.
  11. The ecosystem is growing so fast, it’s hard to keep up with all the projects without these infographics at this point. https://twitter.com/Dr_shwetaPHD/status/1398783893638103040
  12. Epoch 268 is a wrap as of with 22.83 billion ADA staked. https://adapools.org/epochs
  13. Check out the telegram AMA tomorrow with the CEO of World Mobile! https://twitter.com/ZwijBerg/status/1399377659105320962
  14. A very interesting stat on Cardano user growth. https://twitter.com/cex_io/status/1398959088684445699
  15. More and more people in the youtube sphere are jumping on the Cardano train. https://twitter.com/techleadhd/status/1399398373384351744
  16. Reuters reports on an EU digital identity wallet project. https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/eu-step-up-digital-push-with-digital-identity-wallet-2021-06-01/?taid=60b6e171efd84f0001b64ae1&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter
  17. The U.S. Currently has Issued Sanctions on Ethiopia, but they are not all-encompassing economic sanctions as with rogue nations, they have just barred entry into the U.S. for certain government personnel. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/24/world/africa/ethiopia-us-sanctions-tigray.html
  18. Vitalik is saying it’s highly unlikely we see ETH 2.0 before late 2022. I’m guessing that means mid 2023 which will be after two years of Cardano slaughtering the entire ETH user base. Things are looking so bad that Vitalik says he doesn’t even like using the ETH 2.0 label anymore since he knows the changes will be more incremental. This is what early capitulation sounds like guys. https://cointelegraph.com/news/even-vitalik-buterin-is-surprised-at-just-how-long-eth2-is-taking
  19. Cardano-Nervos cross-chain bridge to be built. This would be at least the second cross-chain bridge after the Cardano-AGI bridge. https://www.coindesk.com/cardano-nervos-force-bridge-network-first
  20. And….still! Kings of the github! https://twitter.com/CryptoDiffer/status/1400744567956180993
  21. Binance has 63 stakepools charging 6%. Please stop paying so much for the right to stake your ADA. You don’t have to pay that much. You have a huge number of better options. You are literally giving away your ADA rewards to a large corporation. It’s easy: just download the Yoroi Chrome extension, send your ADA there, and pick from the 2k+ available stakepools right inside Yoroi. https://twitter.com/BraveHeartStak3/status/1401204563189940231 https://adapools.org/groups/binance-20 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emurgo&hl=en_US&gl=US
  22. Charles basically just laid out what 4th Gen Cryptos are going to be all about in his video yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkr1EKQrVeQ
  23. Here’s a good Emurgo blog article on the use of Emurgo Trace in the Oil and gas industry. https://twitter.com/emurgo_io/status/1402339278097502210
  24. IOHK gives us a closer look at everything being upgraded for Alonzo. https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/06/08/a-close-look-at-the-software-running-cardano/
  25. We’re currently at 71.52% of ADA staked. This is a pretty incredible ratio and shows the strength of the Cardano community. https://twitter.com/CardanoPoolPeek/status/1402378400803794950
  26. El Salvador passes the statute to make Bitcoin legal tender in the country. https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1402827595339681794
  27. Cardano gets more positive coverage on the Nasdaq website with a second article following the one from April 7 earlier this year. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/be-part-of-a-historic-crypto-moment-with-cardano-2021-06-08
  28. Prof. Aggelos Kiayias releases an article on a tri-coin system called Stablefees that could fix the problem of appreciating transaction fees in crypto. https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/06/10/stablefees-and-the-decentralized-reserve-system/
  29. The mid-month Alonzo development update from IOHK is out. Alonzo blue is in full swing and they are working on “hello world round trips” going from the node to the ledger and back. Plutus Partners (third party functional dev firms) are working on different use cases ahead of the Alonzo launch. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1403314932968574981
  30. Miniswap gives us the dev perspective on why Cardano’s Plutus is such an improvement over Ethereum’s Solidity. https://twitter.com/MinswapDEX/status/1403411522110427137
  31. Here’s a great ETH vs. Cardano DeFi project comparison infographic. https://twitter.com/Coin98Analytics/status/1403397242707320835
  32. The Marlowe Webinar with Shruti is now available on youtube. Very interesting discussion of DeFi in general and also specific topics like “deep interoperability” in DeFi. Cardano is obviously already doing the very involved thinking about the future of DeFi. https://youtu.be/vzsUSG5CSj0
  33. John O’Connor recently tweeted about a day where he “wrote a letter to a president” and “found a million users to bring into Cardano”. Sounds like the Cardano train is rolling along as smoothly as ever in Africa. https://twitter.com/jjtoconnor/status/1402565547716399104
  34. Zach Guzman and Mike Novogratz get an opportunity to prove once again how extremely threatened they are by the fact that they can’t frontrun Cardano at this point. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1404100510525841408
  35. John O’Connor appeared on the Disrupt Network Podcast. bit.ly/3znqyB7
  36. President of Tanzania calls on the central bank to prepare for the adoption of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. I wonder what crypto ecosystem already has experience working with an African government on a big crypto project and has partnered with a mobile company that is already bringing connectivity to rural Tanzania? https://twitter.com/DocumentingBTC/status/1404126444863766533
  37. Hedgefund Billionaire Paul Tudor Jones tells the world to buy crypto and certain other assets if the Fed doesn’t address inflation in their policy meeting that concludes on Wednesday. JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon concurs that the current inflation is very likely not transitory. This could be tremendously good timing for Cardano given our top five status and the impending mainnet launch of smart contracts. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/14/paul-tudor-jones-says-bet-heavily-on-every-inflation-trade-if-fed-keeps-ignoring-higher-prices.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/14/jamie-dimon-jpmorgan-is-hoarding-cash-because-very-good-chance-inflation-here-to-stay.html
  38. With exploits like this one being all too common in the legacy smart contract networks, we’re not even going to have sell the Cardano use case for DeFi. The competitor networks have already made the case that something better must be on the way. https://twitter.com/zapper_fi/status/1404429179794362369
  39. World Mobile CEO tweets out a tantalizing response to the Tanzanian President’s call for her nation’s central bank to prepare for crypto. https://twitter.com/MrTelecoms/status/1404375153191141377
  40. If you are new to Cardano and you would like to get a handle on the terminology involved in the ecosystem, you may want to check out these Cardano flashcards produced by Coconut Pool. https://twitter.com/coconut_pool/status/1403442954434269185
  41. While renewable energy is certainly a wonderful thing, there may be a problem with your technology when your path to compete on clean energy consumption involves you talking about harnessing the power of a whole series of volcanoes. Maybe just use fewer volcano’s and more proof-of-stake? https://twitter.com/_eLaPs_/status/1404125569093029889 https://twitter.com/gladstein/status/1402718041557725184
  42. The Charles/Lex Fridman podcast has dropped. This is a big deal. This is a fairly mainstream podcast with over 1 million subscribers. https://youtu.be/FKh8hjJNhWc
  43. Politicians in the legislative branches of Panama and Paraguay have now announced intentions to introduce crypto-related bills into their respective legislative assemblies. https://twitter.com/gabrielsilva8_7/status/1401965129051389958
  44. New algorithmic stablecoin paper coming in the next few weeks from IOHK. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1405737563030183936
  45. The bank of England is getting very serious about how it “may wish to limit migration” of money from the legacy system to stablecoins. Wow. Just another example of why it’s such an asset (no pun intended) that Cardano is prepared for regulation. https://twitter.com/CaitlinLong_/status/1405712468823842816
  46. Check out the newly “pimped up” Cardano documentation. https://twitter.com/theSavaSavic/status/1405526615585480730 https://docs.cardano.org/
  47. The Cardano Development Update for this week is out. https://roadmap.cardano.org/en/status-updates/update/2021-06-18/
  48. Runtime Verification (architects of K Framework which powers Cardano’s IELE & KEVM) just raised $5.3MM in a round that included Cardano’s C Fund. https://runtimeverification.com/blog/runtime-verification-raises-5-3-million-to-advance-blockchain-security https://twitter.com/RosuGrigore/status/1405917218035097600
  49. It’s a good sign that the top two crypto communities are spending so much time talking negatively about Cardano. You only focus your hatred on that which is most threatening. I’m glad to see we’re the biggest threat on their radar. https://twitter.com/nic__carter/status/1405194146063736840
  50. Bloomberg just published a piece called “America Should Become a Nation of Renters”. While this statement is probably extremely polarizing for Americans, it can also be argued that the death of homes as the primary investment vehicle of Americans may open up a new wave of adoption in crypto as an alternative. https://twitter.com/bopinion/status/1405609396302979074
  51. We are crushing all the competitors in terms of assets staked! https://twitter.com/CryptoDiffer/status/1405854686209622018
  52. All 345,501 of the people who have watched the Lex Fridman/Charles episode as of writing are realizing that Cardano could be the first project to put voting on the blockchain in a U.S. state. https://www.atalaprism.io/app
  53. Days like today in Cardano and the greater crypto space always reminds me that there have been other great adoption stories that went through periods like this.https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1407077949774442499
  54. It looks like the second biggest ETH stakepool or it's custody provider has lost it’s users private keys to $75MM in ETH. Cardano doesn’t have this problem. We get to keep custody of our crypto because we found a better way than slashing. https://stakehound.com/blog-post/fireblocks-eth-2-key-management-incident/ https://twitter.com/JamesSpediacci/status/1407465311180255236
  55. Draft table of contents for Mastering Cardano has been revealed. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1407165366355124225
  56. COTI (a project with very close ties to Cardano) is coming to Ledger. https://medium.com/cotinetwork/coti-native-is-coming-to-ledger-c56b04df1253
  57. The June Cardano 360 is currently available on Youtube. https://youtu.be/al5m14299ww
  58. We saw segments on various newer partner entities like Nervos, Orion Protocol, and Revuto. Nervos is a UTXO proof-of-work blockchain which is building a cross-chain bridge with Cardano so that you can use your ADA on Nervos dApps and vice versa. Interoperability is a big theme for Nervos and they plan to have a working testnet within a month. Orion Protocol is building a terminal that will allow for decentralized non-custodial trading across centralized and decentralized exchanges. They say this would not require you to KYC or even have an account with any of these exchanges. Revuto is an online subscription management service that recently completed a $10MM token sale on Cardano.
  59. It was also revealed that Wolfram Labs, COTI, and IOHK have a three-way partnership (a mΓ©nage Γ  tech) to build an NFT auction site. The people from Wolfram were talking about very interesting things including live minting during streaming events and automated upload to IPFS. COTI will be building out auction and bidding mechanisms in ADAPay.
  60. Professor Aggelos Kiayias gave us an update on research including that Ouroboros Chronos and Hydra papers have both been accepted into conferences/journals. Chronos will provide Cardano with a global concept of time that doesn’t rely on any outside timekeeper. Prof. Kiayias also pointed out that Hydra is distinguishable from other layer two protocols in that the scripting language is identical to that of the base layer in Cardano such that any dApp that can run on Cardano will run on the Hydra L2. This is a huge plus and superior to many other layer two solutions in other ecosystems where the base layer dApps will not run on layer two. Finally, the Mithril paper has been submitted for peer review. It will provide Cardano light wallets with Succinct Non-interactive Arguments of Knowledge that will give us the best of both worlds: no delays for syncing as in full node wallets while still preserving trustlessness.
  61. Finally, the Goguen Summit will be in late September. Sign up now at summit.cardano.org.
  62. The Fed is once again STRONGLY signalling to us that they are going to regulate stablecoins. The Fed is also specifically calling out Tether for the first time. You need to be thinking about how stablecoin regulation might affect your favorite Cardano DeFi or other project. https://twitter.com/CaitlinLong_/status/1408500265397985282 https://twitter.com/CaitlinLong_/status/1408572624125534212
  63. People are starting to realize that the Stakehound private key loss in ETH may attract unwanted regulatory attention to Ethereum 2.0 while this problem could never have occurred in Cardano. Also, only a few days later another ETH stakepool (this time SharedStake...the sixth biggest ETH Stakepool) allegedly experiences a rugpull that some are valuing at over $30MM. This is another problem that could not happen in Cardano staking. It feels like we stepped into the ring, they rang the bell, and ETH just started punching itself in the head. Eventually it’s going to KO itself. https://twitter.com/Madror7/status/1408505144984051716 https://twitter.com/JamesSpediacci/status/1407761823143645189 https://twitter.com/MeiTrades/status/1408117430656905219 https://sharedstake.medium.com/the-sharedstake-story-by-kairos-44d37aa7837a
  64. Here’s another great Cardano data site. This one is from the Cardano Fans stakepool. https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/3136c55b-635e-4f46-8e4b-b8ab54f2d460/page/r2LQC
  65. John O’Connor of IOHK points out that France still controls the monetary policy of 14 countries in Africa. There is definitely a built in market on the continent for a project that delivers monetary sovereignty to the people. https://twitter.com/jjtoconnor/status/1408978882129272832
  66. Here’s a great new interview with the CEO of World Mobile from Cardano Chats. https://youtu.be/w0Z2RP6a9HE

  76. Cardano is now a small part of Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund. They actually sold off current holdings in other coins to buy ADA. This is big for institutional adoption! https://twitter.com/Grayscale/status/1410945118228692994
  77. Catalyst Fund 4 results are here. https://adapulse.io/fund-4-results-are-here/

  79. Robert Kornacki of dcSpark releases an article on why every Cardano dApp will use NFTs. The article contains some very interesting discussion on smart contracts in the EUTXO context including language instructing that “UTXOs have smart contracts attached to them and not the other way around” and “[...]the simplest way to think about it is that when a UTXO is created it has the option to have a smart contract attached to it.” https://medium.com/dcspark/every-eutxo-dapp-will-use-nfts-and-heres-why-fd87e6a8c9a6
  80. A very interesting medium article on the concurrency problem in eUTxO blockchains such as Cardano. (Article by Occam Fi....thanks to Muggy Pool for sending it my way). https://medium.com/occam-finance/the-occam-fi-technical-series-on-concurrency-cd5bee0b850c
  81. The concurrency issue in plutus smart contracts has also been recently commented on by Lars and Sebastien. https://twitter.com/LarsBrunjes/status/1390331642103877633 https://twitter.com/LarsBrunjes/status/1403761666383306757 https://twitter.com/SebastienGllmt/status/1410983827481108480

  83. Ben O’Hanlon sets the record straight on developer interest in Cardano. https://twitter.com/benohanlon/status/1412136150404370432
  84. As always, Cardano is straight killing the competition in terms of assets staked. https://twitter.com/StakingRewards/status/1412389781003194395
  85. Once again, we are also the Github activity champions! https://twitter.com/CryptoDiffer/status/1412333951830605824
  86. Between Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 of the Plutus Pioneers program there have been 4,300 potential future Cardano developers involved. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1412465643245424649
  87. Here’s an interesting chart purporting to show the dates on which various Cardano DeFi projects might have finished products. https://twitter.com/Cryptokev84/status/1412343821757730820/photo/2
  88. IOG says they have started onboarding new SPOs and developers to Alonzo White this week. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1412847798274478084
  89. Charles also confirms that Alonzo White may start Friday but probably Monday due to a natural (and warranted) desire to avoid executing a rollout at the start of a weekend. https://youtu.be/yd1eg4QopV8
  90. Daedalus 4.2.0 now adds Ledger & Trezor Catalyst Registration. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1413176419186774018

  99. There is a new stakepool explorer available. https://www.cardanoworld.io/
  100. Very interesting timing with a) Grayscale Buying $50MM ETCG, b) Grayscale adding ADA, and c) Charles joining the ETC Cooperative board given that two of the members of the ETC Cooperative board seem to come from Grayscale and DCG. Maybe the world is starting to understand just what Charles and IOHK have been able to accomplish over the last few years. https://twitter.com/ETCCooperative/status/1410439775950082051 https://twitter.com/ETCCooperative/status/1413328106568421377 https://twitter.com/Grayscale/status/1410945118228692994
  101. There is a new Cardano wallet being introduced by u/berry_ales from the Berry Pool. I have no idea if it will be good or bad at protecting your ADA. Just reporting that it exists. https://twitter.com/berry_ales/status/1414548062207361025
  102. There is currently a lawsuit challenging the notion that staking rewards should be taxed as income. The plaintiff argues that newly created property isn’t taxed as income and that this should also apply to staking rewards. A win here would be very nice for Cardano delegators. https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-staking-rewards-and-their-unfair-taxation-in-the-us
  103. The Cardano Foundation’s Cardano Developer Portal is now up and running. https://twitter.com/CardanoStiftung/status/1414640913612255234
  104. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s party has won re-election in a landslide election. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57791868
  105. Avanti Bank of Wyoming files comments with the Federal Reserve on their new guidelines that could massively impact how the traditional banking system interacts with cryptocurrencies like Cardano. Given what role ADA is likely to play in the future of crypto financial transactions, this is extremely relevant for ADA holders. https://avantibank.com/press/avanti-submits-comments-to-federal-reserve https://twitter.com/CaitlinLong_/status/1414783323193364482
  106. Cardano is still destroying everyone in terms of value staked! https://twitter.com/StakingRewards/status/1414895205384327168
