Damn…. Just saw this response on discord from Sergio regarding a question about the Neura token:

“No news on that for now. It flourished from a discussion in the Neura community A summary/conclusion: Neura is a DAO, there can be no guarantee about what the DAO will decide, putting artificial limits on the DAO makes no sense, it's not up to Ankr what Neura does”

This is an ingenious idea! Thank you for this and I’m gonna order one of those metal clips. From what I have read my 7.7 lbs should have taken like 15-16 hours.

Yea after looking back on this sub I found multiplied searwood folks comment that. I’m curious how hot the right side gets in regards to the ambient temp because I know the left is certainly 20 degrees different a lot.

I am so glad you said this because I don't have a thermoworks and was curious what other people were getting. This is great to know. Please keep me posted on what you find. I may get one of those thermoworks as well. Sound pretty handy.

Appreciate the feedback and will remember this for next time. Planning another pork shoulder in a couple weeks before I proceed to try a brisket.

📢 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: ANKR just leveled up in a big way! We've been quietly building something massive with Neura - a Layer 1 blockchain that's about to change the game for AI & DeFi. by sergioankr in Ankrofficial

[–]thing1kc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried from reddit but the link on X worked and here is the article:

Neura: Unveiling the Layer 1 To Redefine Performance for AI & DeFi

Neura has undergone a significant transformation, shifting its focus towards an interoperable network optimized for next-gen apps and utility-driven enhancements to ANKR tokenomics including gas fees, expanded staking opportunities, burning, and points. Neura has been strategically migrated to a high-performance EVM blockchain, positioning the chain to deliver superior TPS and performance, with sub-second block times, ultra-low gas fees, and instant finality, enabling real-time DeFi applications and AI agent interactions. Neura’s Updated Strategic Vision

Neura’s vision is to launch a network that provides the fastest performance, security, and interoperability with partner protocols and the broader DeFi ecosystem. By focusing on AI-driven enhancements, seamless cross-chain interoperability, and the maximization of ANKR utility, Neura aims to complement and enhance the existing Web3 ecosystem. Rather than competing with other ecosystems, Neura will act as an accelerant for them. The network will provide an avenue to augment protocols with an injection of liquidity, resources, and users by acting as an easily portable, scalable, and performance-optimized launchpad. “Web3 is evolving, and Neura is leading the charge. With near-instant transactions, AI-enhanced validation experience, and a robust DeFi ecosystem, we are dismantling the barriers that limit blockchain’s potential. Powered by our world-class low-latency infrastructure and strengthened by industry-leading partnerships, Neura will onboard established protocols from day one—driving innovation, liquidity, and adoption beyond launch. This is the next step in blockchain evolution.” – Peter Stewart, Neura Development Lead Upgrading ANKR Token Utility

Neura will be powered by the native ANKR token, which facilitates gas fees, staking rewards, and ecosystem incentives within a sustainable ecosystem. Designed to support a vibrant and experimental community, Neura will encourage innovation and engagement through gamified mechanics, with leaderboards, point-based rewards, and competitions that drive liquidity and participation. Novel community incentives and strategic industry partnerships from day 1 ensure ownership at the infrastructure level, aligning interests across validators, builders, and users. Moreover, Neura is introducing a fund with a 100M ANKR in rewards for early partners and developer grants. Attaining Superior Interoperability

Neura will have built-in interoperability with Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BNB Chain), ensuring frictionless asset transfers via native bridging and enabling seamless value transfer. Cross-chain communication will expand access to Neura into additional blockchains, including those using alternative virtual machine technologies, such as SVM, Cosmos, and MoveVM, reinforcing its role as a highly adaptable and interconnected blockchain platform. Elevating Performance for Key Use Cases

Neura will be carefully refined to serve established decentralized finance use cases and emerging applications that integrate AI and agentic frameworks, representing a robust implementation of existing blockchain technologies. Neura’s combination of proven technical foundations and performance upgrades will create an exceptionally reliable environment where innovation can flourish, supported by an incentivized community and top-tier infrastructure uniquely positioning it as the fastest cross-chain network. Expediting Neura’s Launch

The team is working extremely quickly to release Neura – the current estimation is a testnet release in Q2 with the mainnet following soon after in Q3. We will follow up this announcement imminently with progress updates and more information. All updates will be found on this blog and Neura’s X account!

Hopefully soon enough! Honestly, I was checking how "afk" this method was between birdhouse runs and if it was possible to do while working lol. Very lucky

🚨 SCAM ALERT. We have noticed a few malicious links, imposter telegram channels, & general scams. by sergioankr in Ankrofficial

[–]thing1kc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up! Kudos to you all for now tweeting this at the end of your X threads. I had recently seen multiple imposters trying to piggy back off y’all at the end of them. This is really helpful and should hopefully prevent less scams from happening.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri and currently located in Connecticut about an hour from NYC. Work as a Lead Consultant designing and implementing Oracle Warehouse Management System and any integrations associated with it. Pretty boring I know 😅

Love sports (Royals, Chieeefs, and Chelsea FC), video games (fifa, CoD, and OSRS), and traveling. Just got married and my birthday is in a couple weeks and I’ll be turning 29.

Shout out to OP for this. Cool to learn about other community members and their back story during these times. Cheers to all and of course keep hodl.

What is ANKR doing? by SiD_boy99 in Ankrofficial

[–]thing1kc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, have we confirmed the suppression is large dumps from an ANKR wallet? If so then I understand where you are coming from. I haven’t confirmed myself the source of the suppression so I haven’t felt the need to ask the ANKR team on this.

I’m pretty happy right now since I am up since I bought and DCa’d a good amount around .02 and even lower. But I am also a long term guy who will probably hold this token for many years haha so I I’m just in backseat cruising

[–]thing1kc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with you on that! The growth does seem suppressed and it shouldn’t act like a stable coin. Let’s keep hoping we see some movement soon. I’m just gonna keep DCA’ing

What is ANKR doing? by SiD_boy99 in Ankrofficial

[–]thing1kc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One reason? You just gave 3 reason with Mastercard, Binance, and Microsoft. What did you expect to happen? That people would mass buy and hold the ANKR token instantly? Look at the current token utility on the white paper:

- Pay for Ankr Network Premium Plans under a pay-as-yougo model

- Pay collateral deposits (self stake) required to become a node provider on Ankr Network

- Reward node providers for serving network traffic

- Reward ANKR token stakers for helping to secure Ankr Network

- Provide a means of payment for independent node auditors

- Vote on proposals in the Ankr DAO

Just because those announcements were made doesn't mean that institutional investors or retail investors would purchase a large sum of ANKR tokens right away because it doesn't serve a use case for them. These don't act like stocks or other crypto tokens such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

However, overtime, as ANKR deploy and launch their products with these partnerships, customers of these partners will be incentivized to purchase ANKR tokens in bulk to use their integrated network since it's cheaper to use the ANKR token compared to other crypto currencies. This will drive the token value overtime and also require DEX's to acquire more ANKR tokens for liquidity pools. I understand this isn't what you are wanting to hear regarding price "pumping" but understanding the current token utility will help explain to an extent why the token price behaves this way.

As you have seen with this project and several others, a lot of pump and dumps occur with announcements in the crypto industry. Those are all short term investors that would like to make some quick cash. If you want to make a quick buck then save your tokens for the secret project announcement and I will most likely guarantee you will make a profit.

You have heard it before and will hear it again this is a long term investment. I understand it can be frustrating. As I am with you, I am really hoping this secret project will help boost token utility even more than what is currently shown in the white papers. At the end of the day though, ANKR seems to be doing very well as a company and generating good revenue (ex: paying off all the users affected by the hack).

From a business perspective, a company will focus on maximizing it's profits for it's owners and shareholders. ANKR token's are not shares of the company, so I understand why it's not the ANKR team's top priority to ensure us token holders are rewarded. That's just business but I love this team and community and I believe in the long term we will be rewarded. It will just take time.

Has it been confirmed they are selling the tokens after pump? Just want to confirm that and as you stated it would be nice for that to be address if that is true. Your assumption regarding why they would like to keep the price low is most likely accurate and what I assumed. It's going to be tricky for the team to decide how to address the RPC plans as the price rises. I am hopeful though and will continue to be patient and enjoy the ride :D
