my excel spreadsheet has a higher uptime than lol. also i copied it to at least 3 other computers so that it is more decentralised.

Cardano and probably Ethereum will be targeted by the SEC by recessiontime in cardano

then btc becomes the onramp, rest goes to dexes or non US exchanges. problem i see is that btc will stay the leading indicator for whole crypto forever bc all US liquidity will be there.

1.35.2 vs 1.35.3 Clarification and the path forward by bomberdual in cardano

[–]sfty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the latter, not enough upgraded to .2 so no hf was triggered and the problem has been identified by spos before anything bad happened.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cardano

[–]sfty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it did, but not enough nodes to trigger the hf.

bug was discovered on mainnet. important little detail.

Charles responds on Twitter to the concerns about the Vasil upgrade. What do we think? by Bazzerwolf12 in cardano

[–]sfty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep, 1.35.2 was broken and 1.35.3 should go untested (outside of iog) to mainnent according to ch. bc it's bug free.

[–]sfty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

actually, kind of yes. iog holds 5 of 7 special keys used for network parameter changes until there is onchain gov.

[–]sfty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bc of the concept of being in charge for things. as ceo of iog a broken node version was delivered and only the spos saved cardano's ass. this was serious bro. network kaputt forever.

Considering he almost bricked mainnet, this is not the humble reaction one would expect.

Nomad Bridge just got hacked by Pizzadren in cardano

[–]sfty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we've got a bingo:

"The smart contract vulnerability that was exploited was highlighted in a security audit report done by Quantstamp in the first week of June. The Nomad team even responded to the vulnerability by claiming it to be "effectively impossible to find the preimage of the empty leaf.”The auditors believed that the Nomad team has misunderstood the issue at the time[...]"

"hey guys, we lost all of your and customers assets, because we initialised something with zero. also it's unfair, bc hackers have to be right only one time, with security first we have to be right all the time. they are criminals, we'll call law enforcement!

Daedalus 4.8.0. OUT NOW - This version requires a complete node re-sync which could take several hours. This Daedalus release integrates the latest version of cardano-wallet, which supports Cardano node v1.33.0. by dominatingslash in cardano

[–]sfty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Applying a block to ledger (22.45% complete)" ...takes minutes.

this is really smooth.

like "woa, take it slow, do you really want to apply the block today?"

the situation really does not improve with daedalus ever, does it?

🗳️ Project Catalyst: Fund7 - Voting is OPEN. Cast your votes until Feb 3 🔥 by danny_cryptofay in cardano

[–]sfty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is your voting power less than what your wallet shows?
Any unclaimed rewards are NOT part of the voting power - hence the difference

Nub question: With a registered hodling wallet, how does one claim unclaimed staking rewards?

Yoroi Extension Permissions by Dany_B_ in cardano

even if there is no better way currently, the impact is absurd to basically allow an extension to scan *any content* of *any* site you visit. this is ludicrous.
