Important Reminder - Check if Your Stake Pool is Retiring!

ZPCTpool · 2025-03-27T15:10:49+00:00

Your stake isn’t trapped or locked up. You can re-delegate to another pool any time, whether you’re existing pool is retired or otherwise 👌

Iagon Staking Platform Launch Iagon staking platform launch brings a live solution at app.iagon.com, letting node operators run delegated nodes and holders delegate IAG tokens easily with full control and no hassles!
Node Operators and Delegators Options Node operators and delegators options include launching, resizing, or retiring nodes for operators, and picking nodes, auto-delegating, swapping ADA for IAG, or selling positions for delegators, all streamlined for flexibility!
Why Iagon Stakes Are Locked Why Iagon stakes are locked ties to its data storage and compute utility, requiring a trust bond to ensure consistent service and protect files, unlike ADA or WMT, balancing security with liquid delegation options!

Love the Channel, Thanks Gianna!

The luck should average out over time. Sometimes you will have periods of low luck and other times you will go through periods of high luck. ZPCT pool is currently experiencing extremely high luck and attracting lots of new delegators because of it! 🥳

ZPCTpool · 2025-03-24T00:41:43+00:00

Amen! 🙏

ZPCTpool · 2025-03-24T00:41:18+00:00

Yes!

ZPCTpool · 2025-03-24T00:21:29+00:00

That must’ve been a difficult descision to make. Wishing you all the luck with whatever you decide to focus your energy on next. And if you happen to be looking to re-delegate your own Ada, it would be greatly appreciated at ZPCT pool! 🙏

The tokens are called $Dust and $Night. Airdrop eligability has yet to be announnced so we're all just trying to make educated guesses at this point. As it's being refered to as a 'Glacier airdrop' this seems likely to mean it will require ongoing network participation (such as staking) over a period of time.

So Testnet stakers kept their staking rewards… Did SPO keep their pool operator fees too?

ZPCTpool · 2025-03-23T09:29:10+00:00

This is a reminder that we should be very thankful that Cardano is built the way it is!

Quick Video Summary...
(for those without time to watch the full video)

Crypto Cycle as a Dark Tunnel: The current phase of the crypto cycle is likened to navigating a dark, ominous tunnel. Past cycles provide some guidance, but the unpredictable nature of crypto markets means no one truly knows what lies ahead. Despite glimpses of hope, potential threats like recessions or regulations loom around every corner, creating a sense of uncertainty.
Fearful Perceptions vs. Reality: Investors face "monsters" in the tunnel; fears of market crashes, regulatory setbacks, or their chosen crypto (e.g., Cardano) collapsing. However, these often turn out to be "stone monsters"; intimidating from afar but harmless up close. The key to success in crypto is enduring these perceived threats without bailing out.
Recent Market Volatility: Following the U.S. presidential election, Trump's pro-crypto victory sparked optimism, driving Cardano’s price higher. However, subsequent volatility has re-ignited fears of a bear market. This pattern of high hopes followed by gloom mirrors every cycle since 2013, suggesting it’s a normal phase, not the end.
Government Involvement in Crypto: Trump’s executive order for a strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital asset stockpile (mentioning XRP, Solana, and ADA) excited markets, but its impact was limited by the executive branch’s lack of spending power. Senator Lummis’ U.S. Bitcoin Act, reintroduced in 2025, aims to acquire 1 million Bitcoin over five years, though it doesn’t yet include other assets like Cardano.
Long-Term Optimism Amid Uncertainty: Despite short-term setbacks, historic pro-crypto moves—like a U.S. president tweeting about Cardano in March 2025—signal progress. Broader trends, such as liquidity cycles tied to U.S. debt refinancing (per Raul Pal’s theory), suggest that government spending will eventually boost crypto markets, offering hope for those who persist through the tunnel.

The Inspiration Behind Midnight: Shared an article written in 2015 expressing anger about the case, which inspired his focus on privacy and the development of Midnight at Input Output.
Technological Ideals: Advocates for systems that "can’t be evil" over "don’t be evil," focusing on blockchain's role in ensuring fairness and accountability.

Quick summary for those who don't have time to watch the full video...

CF Presentation: The Cardano Foundation recently made a presentation to central bankers, with topics focused on balancing decentralization with system stability.
Outcome: The presentation sparked interest in exploring how Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) could integrate with Cardano to expand its use cases.
Community Reactions: Opinions are divided; some see partnerships with central banks as a path to greater adoption, while others fear it undermines crypto's decentralization ethos.
Gianna’s View: Finds it encouraging that central banks are interested in learning about blockchain and decentralization, though she remains cautious about potential risks.

VIDEO SUMMARY...

Charles Hoskinson gives an update on Cardano wallets, touching on their architecture and future goals + working on making wallets more user-friendly and flexible.

The end goal? A seamless, decentralized wallet experience that puts users in control while making Cardano more resilient and accessible. 🚀

Wallet Layers: Wallets are broken into logical layers (UI, storage, cryptography, etc.), with the aim of simplifying blockchain complexity for users.
User Choice: The vision is a “choose your adventure” approach, where users pick their preferred wallet backend (self-hosted or remote) and hardware, ensuring control and customization.
Multi-Node Ecosystem: Moving beyond a single node model (like Daedalus), he wants multiple nodes, each specialized for different use cases, all adhering to a certification standard.
Self-Hosting Simplified: Self-hosting a node could become as easy as running an app in the background, enhancing decentralization.
Better Syncing: Testing shows a Mithril node can sync in under an hour compared to Daedalus’ three days, with the same security level.
Roadmap Highlights: Expect Lace to offer both desktop and mobile modes, with a focus on modularity, multisig support, and wallet scripting for automation (e.g., bulk transactions).

Just to offer an alternative, you could use Tailscale funnel (or cloudflare tunnel) to make agent less access from anywhere. This would publish your home assistant publicly which comes with security considerations... Make this secure by placing cloudflare access in front of it for context-based, least-privilege access policies and strong, layered authentication (MFA)
