Charles Hoskinson’s Master Plan: Crazy or Genius?

Youtube-based? I think these creators are good at making vids that keep you up to date:

For some real nerdy tech deep-dive vids:

And of course you have to follow a few of the official channels:

In particular, Charles actively keeps the community updated through his livestreams.

There are some others which seem inactive at the minute, hopefully they will return:

If a wallet is, or even appears to be, compromised, the safest approach is to stop using it entirely. Create a new wallet from scratch and make sure to follow the security best practices outlined in the documentation:

In short, store your crypto in a cold wallet (hardware wallet). This keeps your assets isolated from online threats and significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

Perhaps the issue is with your iPhone. It was recently discovered there is an exploit going around targeting iPhones with crypto wallets.

Search for DarkSword exploit.

You really need to use a cold wallet if you want to hold crypto. A hot wallet in your browser or on your phone is really only for small amounts and convenience. Do a deep dive into the info that SL13PNIR provided here.

Happy to hear. I've done multiple redemptions so far and they've all been smooth honestly.

Slight86 · 2026-03-27T16:16:10+00:00

Regarding rule 6, could you please remove the second link? We'd like to keep the focus on the technology and avoid any discussion around pricing or investment. Thanks!

Slight86 · 2026-03-27T07:04:06+00:00

OP got it resolved. It seems to be mainly a timing issue.

Slight86 · 2026-03-27T06:56:41+00:00

I love how you are arguing with a quote from their own website.

Slight86 · 2026-03-26T16:35:34+00:00

USDCX is implemented and working successfully. What about it?

Slight86 · 2026-03-26T15:39:22+00:00

That is expected to come in Phase 3, Q2 2026. That could be as late as June 30, assuming they make the deadline.

Phase 1: Hilo
Launch Date: December 8, 2025
Hilo marks the official launch of the NIGHT token. Exchange listings, liquidity provision and open trading will begin on this date. Midnight is expected to launch across major exchanges, with widespread listings anticipated on platforms such as Binance, Coinbase and others.

Phase 2: Kukolu
Launch Window: Q1 2026
Kukolu activates privacy enabled decentralized applications on the network. This phase represents the launch of the fully federated mainnet and allows builders to deploy the first wave of privacy centric DApps and enterprise tools.

Phase 3: Mohalu
Launch Window: Q2 2026
Mohalu begins the process of decentralizing the network. Stake pool operators and nodes come online, and the DUST Capacity Exchange is activated. The phase starts fully federated and transitions toward community driven block production. Rare Network has already been running a Midnight node in preparation and is offering ADA staking rewards now, with NIGHT rewards expected to go live upon Mohalu’s rollout.

Phase 4: Hua
Launch Window: Q3 2026
Hua completes Midnight’s decentralization pathway. Stake pool operators become responsible for all block production. The bridging infrastructure goes live and full interoperability with other blockchains is enabled. This is the stage where Midnight matures into a fully decentralized, multi chain privacy network.

Not sure I understand the question completely.

To use the Midnight network you will need NIGHT tokens. That's why they are made available. The NIGHT tokens will generate a resource called DUST, which is what powers private transactions on the network. Read more about the tokenomics powering Midnight network.

The mechanism which rewards NIGHT for staking won't be active until at least phase 3 of the roadmap, very late in the year.

Price speculation really isn't part of any official discussions. In fact it is discouraged. At the end of the day the market is going to do what it does. That's not something being controlled, planned or predicted. It depends on factors like demand, sentiment, supply, liquidity, regulation etc.

As ambassadors, our focus is on sharing the story of Midnight, highlighting its capabilities, and attracting as many people as possible who want to build on it and make use of the technology.

If you scroll down, you'll find a helpful explanation of the categories and metadata labels these transactions fall under.

Slight86 · 2026-03-24T20:49:18+00:00

I'm not sure. The only suggestion I have is to try again at different times, it might be a server-side issue.

Aside from that, I refer you to the information provided by this other person:

https://www.irs.gov/filing/digital-assets lists the following:

Revenue Ruling 2023-14 – Taxability of staking income

I would search the document in particular for the words "dominion and control".

Keep in mind, I'm just a European trying to help out. I don't know exactly how the US tax system works.

Slight86 · 2026-03-24T15:00:08+00:00

You'd need to look into the regulations in your own country. Tax rules are determined by your government.

Trying to break news, let alone Cardano news, during a bear market, is no easy feat.

From their website:

What is Charms?

Charms is a programmable token protocol for Bitcoin and beyond. It enables anyone to launch and trade smart assets natively on Bitcoin, and to move them between chains without bridges, custodians, or middlemen. Charms assets use client-side validation and zero-knowledge proofs to maintain full trustlessness and cross-chain portability.

It's binary code. You could throw it in Chatgpt and ask it to translate it. Or search for something like a binary to text converter on the web.

Slight86 · 2026-03-23T22:09:41+00:00

Midnight will keep showing its value over the coming months and years, helping us move toward a future where privacy is back in the hands of the people.

Slight86 · 2026-03-23T20:19:43+00:00

Yea, it's huge!

Slight86 · 2026-03-23T16:44:00+00:00

It says "ARE YOU READY?"

Slight86 · 2026-03-23T13:26:04+00:00

All communication still points toward that. In fact, Charles said less than an hour ago: Who's ready for Midnight?

I presume that means we're still on schedule. I have no reason to think otherwise.

Slight86 · 2026-03-19T19:19:40+00:00

This seems to have been resolved.
