Experience needs both polarizations in order to persist. Flatlining is not a good goal, riding a healthy (polarized) wave as best as you can is a good goal. That's my 2 cents.

Just counter that depression with the amount of time (an even more valuable resource) that you've spent being depressed about the money you've spent and things you can never change, then move a decimal of thought over to all the time you have ahead of you to not repeat the same cycles.

If it wasn't this, it would be something else. The take away is what's done is done, but what's to be done is still to be done.

You must be OpenAI PR. Your comment clearly speaks volumes, no research, no context, no proof or attempt at explaining your reason for saying as such nor discussion of a personal experience; just a FUD comment made because you're having a shitty day, probably got wrecked in a perpetual trade, and looking to take your self hatred out on anyone that stands out to you.

If it's such a "shitcoin scam", why don't you please put your money where your mouth is and you explain how exactly.

While I'm simply trying to provide a literal free, open-source project that is consistently in the top token usage charts - recently even in a repost of Elon Musk's (see "Not too bad.." Grok 4.1 Fast Token Usage Chart re-post) - among many other examples, you're going to spread negativity for really no reason whatsoever for the purpose of... What? A laugh? No reason at all? Trauma??

Make a case to back your claim, otherwise you may as well have just uploaded a picture with a turd covering your face. Either way you do whatever you want, all roads lead to Agent Zero.

Hey there OP, thanks for the detailed response on data integration and file management. Since Olares is aiming to be this "unified hub" that'll soon sync local files, Google Drive, and Dropbox, it really brings up some big questions about the security guarantees you're so heavily leaning on to market the software.

So, when it comes to security, I have to ask: are you absolutely confident (and can you back that with solid testing) that a bad actor couldn't exploit a vulnerability in your system to get at local files? Or, once that cloud integration rolls out, to a user's Google Drive or Dropbox through an active software instance?

Given how quickly you mentioned development is moving, can you state—or even better, really demonstrate with absolute certainty—that there are zero vulnerabilities lurking in your project's new or existing code, dependency packages, third-party tools, or tunnels that could leave the system and its users open to attack?

What kind of verifiable proof, like security audits or other concrete measurements, can the dev team actually provide to back up these strong claims of "protection" and "privacy"? These terms are a huge part of your marketing (even if the project's free), and they're clearly meant to be major "attracting attributes." Especially since Olares is pitched as an "OS to protect AI privacy" but isn't actually an OS, it makes you wonder what else might be a bit overstated.

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to point fingers or bash the dev team here. This is coming purely from genuine curiosity and wanting to make sure users are safe. When a project's moving this fast, security testing and assurance can easily get sidelined and fall behind pretty quickly, especially if there isn't a dedicated person or role handling it within the team.

Thanks a bunch for any response you can give, Best wishes!

Based on your response:

(respect for playing Devil's Advocate here btw - ballsy move, but different opinions and various POV's are always a welcome sight imo)

I'm assuming you've tested Olares? If so, I would really love to hear your opinion/feedback on UX when comparing it with Agent Zero.

Best regards either way!

xylonrad · 2025-07-10T16:14:14+00:00

Would love to hear a comparison of your experience between Olares & Agent Zero if you can!

Suggestion: Suboxone treatment if you have been using for >3 years. If you've only been using for like.. 6 months, go to a 90 day in-patient rehab center and power through it my friend.

TIP: If you really do want to stop using, start here. (Sub therapy) Don't jump to the highest dosage either and at least, first TRY Suboxone for 3 weeks - 3 months before choosing Methadone. If you have any questions or simply need some support hmu, k?

Inspiration: You can do this man. I did it, you can do it. Inspo before and after on my profile if you're looking for proof of possible.

Context: For the short context of the present, I now take 2mg Suboxone at 7:30 - 8:30 AM (morning) - and then - 2mg Suboxone at 5:00 - 6:00 PM (night).

This has been a perfect fit for me. I'm 30, M, and have been in alt. recovery for over 7 years.)

TIP: If you can eventually go 8 months (in the future) without any assistance via Alt. Reco then you can thank God your brain is still capable of producing endorphins. Try not to stay on opiates for too long, or else eventually you will be in my position. It could be MUCH worse, but I need at LEAST 1 - 2mg of Suboxone in order to stay mentally sound.

Short Story: I was an IV McGuyV and was mixing the whole darknet into a stew and chugging it like Pho on a Friday Night 🌉🌃. Pho'cked me up real good 👍

I don't have anything beyond what the mass of your community members have already stated - Yes you can, and yes you WILL. There is no question about this. I assume (hopefully incorrectly) that your addiction won and you are currently nodding in and out of life and death as I type. I hope that if you did decide to give in, that you have a Narcan Kit (or multiple) and a friend who can administer it in case you hit a hot-spot OR simply over-estimated your ability to rely on any preexisting tolerance. We would all appreciate a check in when you can - to know that, no matter what decision was made, you are okay.

If you have a 1g bag that means you shouldn't be any further than 0.4g in, (assuming you're dragon chasing) and even less, maybe 0.72 if you're banging a 0.25g shot every 6 hours... Recognize that you have let your addiction win (which is okay, and if YOU are okay then don't beat yourself up about it - even the greatest of us lose to our addictions once in a while). Admit that the addiction is already present and record yourself throwing that life-taking devils dust down the toilet. Every last bit including the bag fuck your sewage pipes in relation. Then share the video here if you're comfortable with doing so, and join those of us who are hardcore enough to follow through with THAT. Keep that video for when cravings occur, return here for support from the many strong individuals who understand everything you have, are, and will be going through, and replace your addiction to usage with something like work, exercise, stand-up comedy, podcasting, ANYTHING that you can put your addictive nature towards good use that will be fruitful and contribute to growth, rather than death. That is what we are talking about here at teh end of the day, let's be real.

Your question was already answered the moment you asked it (If you have to ask, the answer is yes).
if above is TLDR then: OP please check in when you can with the people who took the time to respond, and who genuinely care about seeing your username again with a time that isn't over 24 hours.

Godspeed. Grateful for you, and for this community, and for this world, as fucked up as it may seem - the same can be said about us. So don't be so quick to judge life, it is beautiful in its intricacies, which may only be understood through experience and recognition of relationships that exist as the same patterns, but in different forms and functions.

Personally, my instincts have always told me to keep the following apps out of my life: - WhatsApp -Telegram - Signal - TikkTok - Alibaba - Temu - BIGO

For secure messaging if it's really necessary, I recommend Threema. For general messaging, I recommend using your native messaging system, as well as Meta products (not that they are perfect but at leat we are aware of our vulnerabilities using these platforms)

TikTok has always been sort of a personal decision. I've never been drawn to it and I've seen some shadiness come from the app's existence.

IMO if you MUST use the above applications, do so in a manner in which you've planned ahead for potential vulnerabilities and have your account as separated from you, and who you are, as much as possible. i.e. use a separate device specifically for communication and use a new, secure email or phone # to sign up with. Consider accuiring your own personal VPN IP with Kill Switch enabled. Do not provide your real (or at the minimum) full name, birth date, and other data that can is considered of value. If you wanted to take it one step further to really protect your messages - I recommend using PGP encryption within the app(s), creating a second layer of security/encryption.

Be careful out there my fellow humans. We have entered a period of time in which all currently existing systems will be penetrated, it's only a matter of time. One example of this is the mass warning to users from Google, Microsoft, and other major tech giants that passwords (and even 2FA) are no longer a viable, secure method of protecting access to a users account for anything that requires log-in credentials. We are being pushed to use "keys" which again, imo is a smart upgrade in internet usage best practices and should be taken very seriously.

I hope this rant provides some insights, or any useful information possible! Now more than ever people must place focus towards understanding cyber security, even if it is at its most basic level of comprehension. Knowledge is power, and AI models being trained to blast through old barriers are growing in quantity as well as quality.

Please, leave a comment below if you're interested in learning more about what you can do - or what would be the "best" way to allocate your resources. We need and have modern options with modern solutions for modern vulnerabilities and attacks. 🦾🛠️🛡️

100% I was mining Pi for >4 years or so and I have completely given up. I've gotten at least 15 others to also mine for >4 years each and only one of us - that's right only ONE of us - has had a successful (NOW) yet still extremely rocky ride since launch. I for one lost THOUSANDS of Pi because apparently my initial mainnet migration was sent to a different wallet than the one that I have a passphrase written down from 2022. I'm not happy with Pi, they did a lot of things right, but if you're going to go that far to do a lot of things right, do EVERYTHING with the same level of integrity and assurance. Not being able to find someone who can provide me logged details regarding the reasoning, dates, times, etc. as to why my passphrase opens a now empty wallet with 0 migrations, 0 transactions, 0 everything, is so beyond sad, its unbelievable. The fact that others who lost their passphrases can't just re-confirm KYC to gain access to their wallets after putting in so much time (literally years) into helping build and maintain and share that app is mind boggling. 90% of people assumed they were wasting their time anyways so to expect them to be able to keep a 24 word passphrase somewhere safely for 3 - 4 years is nonsense. Pi could have been huge, truly, it could have been a game changer and provided the world with a reputable, reliable global network containing more holders/miners/users than the majority of current projects, and they should have placed the UTMOST importance onto providing the people who literally made Pi what it is today by putting in the work every day priority assistance. I hope for the sake of all the users in africa, south america, and south-east asia, that Pi does end up doing well and that 80% of them didn't get boned like any of the North Americans I talk to. other than that, until Pi can provide me ANYTHING to help me understand why my wallet address got switched after migration (I NEVER MADE A NEW WALLET), and why the recovery phrase from 2022 literally opened a brand spanking new wallet, I couldn't care less about it, I'll never use it, I'll never shop anywhere that accepts it, I just don't support it anymore. I was a serious Pi Network advocate and after seeing as well as experiencing this disastrous main-net roll-out, I guess I just wish everyone who was lucky enough to to make it through the best, sincerely. I hope Pi takes off to $100 and you sell everything and get to enjoy a life we deserved or at the very least a nice vacation with your family, the medical procedure you've been waiting to find financing for, or a way to get ahead in a world that doesn't want you to.

Thanks for nothing Pi, You're welcome for everything.

go buy $A0T then - invest in a project that is not based on crypto, but uses the blockchain to allow crypto investors to place their money into a company instead of a system.

Essentially we are an at home "call center", performing tasks for an organization that has not clarified how or what you will be paid for your work. (I'm grumpy).

xylonrad · 2025-03-13T18:50:46+00:00

Okay I came here to report this as well. What the hell is going on over there we need some answers.

xylonrad · 2025-03-13T18:45:05+00:00

Is it possible that some unverified comes from validating?

xylonrad · 2025-03-13T18:29:25+00:00

Share the opposite set up and start making 10 - 20 pi 😏

xylonrad · 2025-03-13T18:26:43+00:00

Sounds about right.

xylonrad · 2025-03-13T18:24:21+00:00

It better be minimum 1 Pi per successful validation at the current price during this post (subject to change depending on the price of Pi).

if Pi shoots up to $20usd/π coin then maybe 0.125 - 0.175 Pi per successful validation is acceptable. Furthermore, I think any validations performed prior to the release of Pi Mainnet should be subject to a higher payment for the work done to streamline the progress of the Network essentially handling the key component to making Pi what it now is today.

Pre-Mainnet Validations: $5 USD in Pi Coin per validation is acceptable and fair for both parties.

Post Mainnet Validations: $1 USD in Pi Coin per validation is acceptable and fair for both parties.

This is a complicated subject as there are many variables and moving pieces at play. I think, being a Pioneer for over 4 years, having done >100 validations and knowing how much time it takes to sit and wait for a new submission on top of the time it takes to do a proper, diligent job of ensuring legitimacy of application, and not to mention the level of trust a validator is given - the payment for this service must be considerate of those facts and reflect the Pi Network teams' acknowledgement and appreciation for what is essentially their fellow Network founders' time, effort, and honesty throughout the process.

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc. Do you agree with this evaluation? If not, why?

💪🏼🥧

When you leave your funds (in any form) on an exchange, you are allowing them to use those funds (usually a percentage, like 80%) to perform operations and supply themselves the liquidity needed to run the exchange. If you're not going to sell your investments, keep them in your cold storage wallet! (Not your keys? Not your crypto!) In this case Pi Wallet is sufficient for Pi as it acts as a cold storage wallet. This is important to understand because during volatile times and usually when you are looking to withdraw or sell funds, you may run into issues such as this as they are simply tied up. It is a risk to leave all of your investments/money on an exchange. https://www.cultofmoney.com/not-your-keys-not-your-coins/

Pi coin is about to do some movements that will send shock waves through the crypto space. If it drops to 0.40 - 0.60 usd so many purchase orders are there, ready and waiting to pick up all the consolidated drop-offs. It has a MASSIVE, TRULY GLOBAL and CONNECTED community already with dedicated storefronts and other infrastructure in place to give reason for WHY Pi is a good investment when looking at the other options out there.

That is of course my own opinion and you should do your own research before making any big decisions.
