So I got a buddy that recently got scammed out of ~$600 USD and wanted to just make the person who did it known. the wallet (that still holds the ETH) is 0x7f9c2F3f42607c6c9dc5AAe3C72D4d2337370286 On twitter they use the handle iwolfofreddit that since has been restricted and used a burner discord of 12freon#8759 Can post more…

Lately I've been searching for realistic moonshots, basically getting into good coins semi-early on. So I wanted to share my process to help out other newbies and potentially help give ideas to implement a similar process. At first, I wanted to watch every new coin being made, reality is you're really limited to the platform…

Full EVM compatibility, Solidity, Rust, TinyGo support, sharded chains with full interoperability, Defined fees (or none).

This is why I love this sub – within 20 minutes we get the following two posts: 1. Cardano is dead, it’s a zombie coin that everyone doesn’t realize is dead and Cardano is poised to grow 3-5x in price in the next few months with a market cap of $70 billion plus … Polar…

Cardano's throughput is currently incredibly low. The best case is 6.5tps. This is hardly more than Bitcoin. The worst case is significantly lower. https://i.imgur.com/sIglkyi.jpeg This is not currently an issue, as Cardano's blocks are not full. They're currently sitting at about 30% full. However, if any adoption/usage of smart-contracts arises (DeFi, NFTs, etc) then Cardano…

Cardano successfully deployed the Alonzo Hard Fork Combinator over a month ago, which has no doubt been one of the most important upgrades to happen on the network Alonzo HFC brought with it smart contracts capability on the network and with this came decentralized finance (DeFi) services to the ecosystem. Developers could now develop and deploy decentralized applications (DApps) on the Cardano blockchain. This provided a boost for the network and Cardano continues to work with developers to get their DApps deployed on the blockchain. After this milestone, a question on the minds of supporters has been, ‘What’s next?’ With the Alonzo HFC operating as intended, the developers behind the blockchain can now move to the next phase. This phase is referred to as the Babbage era.

Hammond revealed that IOHK was moving into what they referred to as the Babbage era. This phase which is named after Charles Babbage, the mathematician credited as “the father of the computer”, is meant to smooth out any wrinkles that may be leftover after Alonzo. ADA price at $2.32 | Source: ADAUSD on TradingView.com IOHK will roll out various performance improvements on the blockchain in this phase. These, Hammond said, are improvements which the developer had been working on for some time but had not yet launched. The developer intends to improve the sinking speed, and in addition, will address performance issues that operators have pointed out since the Alonzo HFC has been in operation. This part is important in ensuring that users of the network have a smooth experience when carrying out activities on Cardano. Realizing The Best Of Cardano The Plutus Language on the Cardano network is also getting an upgrade. Hammond revealed that the developer was planning on improving the language by introducing a new Plutus Language version on the blockchain. The Plutus script-specific aspects of the network will be improved to allow for a faster and increased volume of transactions in each block. This new Plutus version will feature additional features which were created due to demand from the user base. Since the network has seen increased activity from the developer-side, it has also come with various requests on the things that they would like to see the network do.

The software engineer didn’t give many details on this, but this will likely be a situation where Cardano puts the community more in control of what happens on the network. The revelations from Hammond are evidence of the fact that IOHK is continuing its work to make the blockchain the best it can be. Featured image from Bitcoin News, chart from TradingView.com
