This guy needs PR training or to stay out of the limelight.

It feels like every time I hear Charles talk he cannot go without talking down on the competition. Everytime he explains his product he has to lead with or include how the competition sucks or when he does give them praise it's a "I've been telling them to do this for years" kind of deal. Fortune 500 CEOs don't typically take stabs at the competition. He can’t help but mention them every time he talks.

With that said Charles is my hero lol. There is nobody I love hearing talk more, he is a genius and I'm in awe of him. I listen to every minute of every interview or AMA etc.

It just feels like he is willing to sacrifice the success of his projects to defend his pride and make sure everyone knows he knows best. In a way I see that in myself sometimes but I realize it makes people dislike me. He is already rich so it doesn't matter to him but if he wants to continue being the front man for all his projects he should really consider his attitude and likability. He gets upset that he is demonized but continues to give "crypto Twitter" the fuel.

Of course this is all opinion, what are your thoughts?

Been holding ADA for a while and finally want to set up staking properly instead of just letting it sit.

Main thing I’m trying to figure out is the best setup where you can stake but still keep full control of your keys and not rely on an exchange. Ideally something simple enough that you’re not constantly worrying about messing up the setup or security.

What’s your setup?

One pattern keeps coming up - network selection.

It's not surprising that most of swap issues don’t actually come from the swap itself, but from sending funds on the wrong network or not double-checking compatibility.

Another common expectation is that everything should be instant, regardless of network conditions.

In reality, blockchain confirmations and network load still play a huge role.

What mistakes do you see most often when people swap crypto?

Got this on X thought ill share here, seems super important.

"Scam alert

A fake mobile app is impersonating us on Google Play and the App Store by “SK App Technology” (see image below)

Our official mobile app is NOT live yet, we’ll announce it here first.

The first feedback-driven update to cardano-xp is now live. Thank you to everyone who took a look - the comments on the initial launch post a few weeks ago were super helpful for cleaning up the initial prototype.

If you haven't heard of it, here's the original post. We are experimenting with a new system that incentivizes people to give feedback on each other's work.

Try v0.0.2: https://www.cardano-xp.io/

Change log: https://github.com/workshop-maybe/cardano-xp/releases/tag/v0.0.2

Keep the ideas coming, either here on Reddit, or if you're ready, in the app itself. Next release, we'll introduce the next phase in the roadmap. See you out there!

honestly curious: why is cardano your #1 choice?

I've made a tool to make it easy to pick a quality dRep. The hope is to encourage people delegated to the very largest dReps to move their votes to smaller ones.

It's pretty simple. Each month a dRep is randomly selected from a list I've curated to be the recommended dRep for that month. From there, with the click of a button, users can delegate to that dRep. The same is done for SPOs.

It also includes an interface to view the full curated list and a "respin" mechanism allowing you to resample the list.

The tool is open source and transparent.

If you use the tool and have feedback please do share! If you would like to be included on the list please reach out to me for consideration. I can be contacted here on reddit or on X 👉 x.com/william00000010

Here is the link to the tool

Всем привет, хотела бы поинтересоваться, как бы вы поступили на моем месте.

я являюсь жертвой сексуального насилия, на протяжении 2-3 лет, с моим участием были сняты видео сексуального характера.

Этот человек сбежал из тюрьмы ОТКРЫТОГО ТИПА 19 апреля этого года.

копия документа о ходатайстве выхода по УДО, имя и фамилия изменены дабы сохранить мою анонимность.

В 2017 году Марсель Дергачев был признан виновным по статьям §141 ч.2 п.1 и 6, §178 ч.1¹, §179 ч.1¹ и §418 ч.1 Уголовного кодекса.

Ему назначено 15 лет лишения свободы, уменьшенных на 1/3 в порядке сокращённого производства. Срок отбытия наказания: 14.08.2017–14.08.2027.

Главное:

УДО возможно только при низком риске повторных преступлений.

У Дергачева этот риск остаётся высоким.

Он осуждён за длительные и тяжкие сексуальные преступления против детей, а также за незаконное оружие.

Суд не убеждён, что его мировоззрение изменилось.

Он ранее неоднократно судим (4-я тюрьма), не извлёк выводов из наказаний.

Сохраняется алкогольная зависимость, что повышает риск повторных преступлений.

Он не прошёл полностью реабилитационные программы (в том числе из-за языка и отсутствия мотивации).

Нет устойчивой социальной поддержки вне тюрьмы.

Поэтому риск рецидива остаётся слишком высоким.

Данный человек был какого-то хрена помещен в тюрьму открытого типо. Меня как жертву не оповестили о его побеге, а когда нами был совершен звонок в полицию по данному поводу, в трубку нам просто промямлили и сказали что перезвонят, так же мы просили защиты у полиции, нам не перезвонили за день вообще ни разу и видимо не собираются. Так же с воли ему сообщалось что у одной из жертв есть маленькие дети, наши адреса. У данного человека ВОЗМОЖНО в доступе есть огнестрел, который не был найдет при его аресте в 2017 году, у него их было 3, один он прихватил при побеге, когда его арестовывали, куда делся этот пистолет, никто не знает. Он угрожал мне и моей семье и велика вероятность что он идет по нашу душу в мой город, его слова при аресте «первой я убью (имя моей бабушки) так как до нее ближе добираться» возможно он уже в моем городе, так как уже прошло больше 10-ти часов с его побега.

Мне правда страшно за себя, так как он и в то время, угрожал мне убийством, если я расскажу кому то из взрослых, а я рассказала.🥲

New in Kenya: Anzens, Credit Bank, and Yeshara Tokens are aligning to bring USDA, a regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin, into a licensed commercial bank's cross-border settlement services.

The proposed model lets Credit Bank customers convert fiat into USDA and back through existing accounts, with flat cross-border settlement to anywhere in the world, and the bank acting as custodian of both KES and USD.

And the fees? Practically unbeatable.

At a flat 1.5%, that's a fraction of what businesses pay today. Cross-border fees into and out of Kenya routinely run four to five times higher through traditional correspondent banking.

This is the kind of structure the region has been waiting for. Regulated stablecoin infrastructure, compliant fiat access, and secure wallet rails built into the institutions businesses already use.

A pilot for USDA mint and distribution will follow, pending regulatory approvals.

What is the future of the Layer Zero partnership after this Kelp / AAVE incident?

>The layer zero hack was the least surprising and most predictable hack of all time

>Ever since they first launched in 2022 it's been clear LZ was engineered to let the team "move fast & break things" while avoiding any liability when shit goes down

>When LZ launched in 2022, I dug into their code and found their "ultra light node", used to verify *a block was real*, in fact did *no verification* and simply trusted the oracle

>They had 3.5B TVL

>Today, lack of onchain block verification is killing Kelp, Aave, and all of DeFi

>LZ's callous attitude towards security was obvious from day 1

>Their bridge relied on a 2/2 multisig for security, in a world of ZK, optimistic, and sidechain bridges that were infinitely more secure

>Their flexibility in config was a precise-engineered tactic to avoid liability

>When I called it out, Bryan Pellegrino, the LZ CEO, resorted to gaslighting & what-ifs

>He said each signer in the 2/2 multisig *could* be "1000+ validators"

>4 years later, those validators never materialized

>LZ's strategy of "move fast & break things" worked extremely well for them in the past 4 years, and I've been fine with that

>I assumed after LZ got m0n3y & traction they'd patch up security. Any ethical person would do so.

>4 years later, it's obvious they did not

>At this point, it's obvious that not only layer zero's tech is hopelessly insecure, their *people* are rotten
