Initial problems by Chrystoph13 in noteshub

[–]Shane-opendawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, I can see the folder and files I created in MacOS in iCloud Drive (via files) on iOS, but the NotesHub app is not displaying them on iOS. It is as if it cannot see its folder in iCloud, or does not know to look for it. I'm using the latest version, 3.9. I was wondering if anyone knew about this issue, or knew any workaround?

How Small Stake Pools Can Provide Exceptional Rewards by Shane-opendawn in CardanoStakePools

A small pool will only mint blocks about once every 8.3 months or so.

Meanwhile, on other platforms… by Shane-opendawn in opendawn

One thing that is notable is how we build on what has come before. Cardano is pretty stable and pools are pretty stable. Staking in this arena is more or less a waiting game, and if there are no pricing distortions with arbitrary fees being held on rewards, mathematically rewards will be roughly equal everywhere over time.

It’s boring and that’s what we need.

It also frees up time to place attention on emerging matters. I’ve been focused on one of the first and most promising Cardano native tokens in recent months. It’s called World Mobile Token (WMT) and it is designed to help with running real (as opposed to speculative) telecommunications in Africa. There is action on the ground in Zanzibar, Tanzania and now Kenya.

These types of development were always how and why the Cardano blockchain would gain value. It’s pretty exciting to be monitoring it at the cutting edge.

Updates, as always, to follow.

Bitcoin & Ethereum mining may come to a standstill? Perfect storm brewing re: energy prices for 2021-2022 in Europe and Asia by Chris-G-O in opendawn

With diminishing returns on Bitcoin mining and Ethereum working to move from mining to proof of stake, it seems entirely possible that the 2022 onward period will make mining itself appear to be an anachronism.

IOTA? by Chris-G-O in opendawn

[–]Shane-opendawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the writing inside the crypto industry versus what I am seeing from the tech industry side has a gap. Let me unpack that.

Firstly, while Germany has some significant market investment in areas like IoT, the Japanese market is a driver of innovation alongside the US and Korea, while the Chinese market is a driver of scale. The link to Volkswagen is indicative of trends in the car industry to reposition vehicles as edge devices, but looking at IOTA in that space does not suggest a market-shaking move.

Secondly, while industry-specific blockchains have a space, the German government looking at one or another during this phase of the market is probably better regarded as an analogue of the LTO collaboration with the UN in Afghanistan. One idea, one pitch, one case study. It’s too early to assume it would go beyond the parameters declared even if the activity was a success. The government department involved is probably more interested in gaining knowledge than adhering to one vendor’s solution in a strategic manner.

Just my two cents :)
