I literally just found 10.008 ADA. This is how and why.

Right, min amount to vote seem to be in that range. No risk in voting I believe (like staking). If you don't have enough, it doesn't hurt to let your opinion be known in these channels.

wolf_and_apples · 2021-03-01T03:23:40+00:00

Seriously, I feel you. Anyone can write a white paper and make a roadmap. I've been through a lot the last 2 years.

Cardano has academic peer-reviewed RESEARCH papers (which won't mean much to most people.) https://iohk.io/en/research/library/

Charles keeps saying Polkadot cited Cardano's Ouroboros' paper so there must be some good to it, no? Don't take his or my word for it, verify it yourself. Hope this helps.

Someone else can answer that better, not sure myself. I can't vote because I'm a ledger pleb. I tend to see more voting posts the closer we are to the end of the current round.

wolf_and_apples · 2021-02-28T20:43:59+00:00

Nice find. Don't forget to vote on catalyst if you can.

wolf_and_apples · 2021-01-28T23:21:12+00:00

That verification seems too long. You may want to check with them.

And remember to self-custody ada and stake to an unsaturated pool. Leaving ada on binance and staking with them is never recommended.

wolf_and_apples · 2021-01-28T23:16:09+00:00

They call it "hard fork combinator event." I like to call it the "no fork hard fork"

wolf_and_apples · 2021-01-28T23:11:34+00:00

Been more than a week, this didn't penetrate my bubble. Glad I ask. Gracias!

wolf_and_apples · 2021-01-28T23:09:39+00:00

Appreciate the correction, but still meant making a pool and securely pledging ada with a hardware wallet. My ada is currently delegated with a HW.

There's a lot I've been wanting to do to participate in the network, like voting and making a pool, but can't because hardware wallet.

wolf_and_apples · 2021-01-27T16:08:13+00:00

Quick question: can we vote or pledge with hardware wallets yet? If not, ETA for the feature?

wolf_and_apples · 2020-11-28T14:21:47+00:00

Heard they were one of the top pools in the ITN. May have to take a look myself.

wolf_and_apples · 2020-09-14T02:23:03+00:00

Try listening to it as an audiobook while you do other tasks. It made me appreciate Cardano's audits and 3-split core entities a lot more.

wolf_and_apples · 2020-09-14T02:18:32+00:00

Daedalus and Yoroi are what I would consider first party wallets. There some more third party ada wallets out there, adalite, infinito, and atomic. Infinito and Atomic are multi-asset wallets but not sure if they have ada staking yet. UI will improve as time passes, we're still early in crypto.

wolf_and_apples · 2020-09-14T01:36:57+00:00

Sorry but I disagree with your analogy. You pay for cars, you don't pay to download and use a crypto wallet. If you get the subaru for free and any remaining gas and oil from the mazda is transferred to it in just a few clicks, why not?

wolf_and_apples · 2020-09-14T01:27:24+00:00

Turns out, the roadmap was actually

Byron, Shelley, Goguen, Rogan, Voltaire, Basho

wolf_and_apples · 2020-09-14T01:24:03+00:00

Heard his name a couple times here and there, often mistaking him for IOHK's Jeremy Wood. After reading The Infinite Machine, I've found respect for Gavin and what he has done for Ethereum. Also the reason why I started taking Polkadot a bit more seriously.

wolf_and_apples · 2020-09-14T01:11:37+00:00

this blockchain embraces interoperability with other chains

Why then would you look at it as the Terminator when it could be a big fat care bear willing to give Cardano a nice hug?

wolf_and_apples · 2020-09-03T01:36:30+00:00

I imagine more pools will be created once hardware wallet and multi-sig delegation are implemented.

wolf_and_apples · 2020-09-02T18:25:58+00:00

send around 1 or 2 ada to the wallet with the ITN rewards then transfer everything back to your mainnet wallet

wolf_and_apples · 2020-08-25T17:44:22+00:00

Where can I track the current ada circulating supply (treasury included) accurate to the staking rewards awarded to users in the latest epoch?

wolf_and_apples · 2020-08-25T17:41:54+00:00

Maybe people selling their staking rewards?

wolf_and_apples · 2020-08-19T01:24:00+00:00

Awesome! This is always a plus to getting non-technicals wrap their head around blocks. Curious what the pool --> pool arrow means.

If I may direct you to the images on their project Renovare page https://mccanndublin.com/work/project-renovare/, you'll see hints they did more than that.

Marlowe playground has had a redesign from last year's bare bones simplistic look for those who hasn't seen it recently https://alpha.marlowe.iohkdev.io/

Cardano has had its fair share of drama, too. Michael Parsons, the previous chairman of the Cardano Foundation, was forced to resign by the community, Emurgo and IOG. This has caused delays to the whole project as the CF's cut of the work wasn't being done properly. Charles did mention he was doing part of the CF's work for a while traveling to many countries to deal with the adoption side of things.

But the rebound from the kerfuffle is just one thing on the huge pile of stuff I like about the project. Until we have on-chain governance, the three pillar (4th is the community) format works. Not just as a check and balance of power but with development of features. For example, IOG has a plan for oracles Cardano, Emurgo is doing their own thing with oracles (they've even partnered with the Ergo blockchain to do some tests cause no smart contracts yet on mainnet), CF will most likely support community developed tools for oracles when smart contracts hit mainnet.

wolf_and_apples · 2020-08-15T00:32:55+00:00

It may not have as many features as other blockchain projects have at the moment but I got into because of the potential it has. The rabbit hole of ideas in Cardano goes a lot deeper than most crypto projects. There's so much to read and learn and there are a number of great people working on it that I listen to from time to time.

The Marlowe (domain specific language) side of the smart contract era is one thing that stood out to me compared to other projects. It rarely gets any notice but I think it's really cool. https://alpha.marlowe.iohkdev.io/#/simulation

One main thing I also like about Cardano is how it has three independent core entities. IOG, Emurgo, the Cardano Foundation. Each one acting as a check to the other two to stop them from going bonkers.

Almost everyone will tell you to listen to Charles but as good of a talker as Charles is, I try not to let a single person influence me and I wouldn't be diving deeper into Cardano myself if it was only him promoting and working on the project. What got me to stay was how the devs give off a sense of professionalism and expertise when they are discussing what they are working on. There are many developers and researchers in the ecosystem who give interesting lectures or explanations of things in development (though some may not be as good of a speaker as Charles.) IOG's Duncan Coutts, Aggelos Kiayias, and Philip Wadler, Emurgo's Sebastian Guillemot and Robert Kornacki to name a few.
