I was floored by how intimate it feels to buy bitcoin on this platform.

If you have not already used Bisq and you ever need a quick $500 (or less) in BTC i 10/10 recommend. (if you do not have any bitcoin start with Bisq2 the fees are way higher but once you get a little BTC you can use it as deposit to start buying on Bisq).

anyways, thats just my 2 cents Have a most peaceful day!

Custom USDT tokens are now being hawked through some Telegram accounts, such as this one https://t.me/blockzenn. Originally created for legitimate testing, they are increasingly being misused on cryptocurrency platforms and exchanges and are being swapped for fiat currency. These tokens appear fully legitimate on the blockchain and can be obtained cheaply, posing a critical security concern within the crypto ecosystem. Below is a screenshot of the custom USDT I purchased for a few USD.

The thrills of crypto never stop. Where will we land?

So, I'm looking to upgrade some old at-home miners, and i saw this flu miner that just came out. It is marketed as highly efficient.

It's almost 3 grand for 6 GH/s, but it eats 1700w of power. I have a an avalon q, which eats 1800+ watts at high power and gets 90 TH/s. Isn't that better? I thought it went from kilo -> mega -> giga -> tera. So, what am I missing here? How is the flu more efficient?

The fluminer is marketed as efficient, but if I am getting an order of magnitude less hashes for only 100 w savings, that doesn't seem efficient. I see that it uses the Scrypt algorithm, but does that really make that much of a difference than the SHA-256?

I pool mine with the unmineable pool, so it would seem more hashes = more coin.

A Manhattan jury convicted Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm on Wednesday of conspiring to operate an unlicensed money-transfer business, though jurors deadlocked on charges of money laundering conspiracy and sanctions violations after three days of deliberation.

Federal prosecutors alleged Storm helped cybercriminals launder more than $1 billion through the cryptocurrency mixing platform, which launched in 2019 as a decentralized protocol designed to obscure transaction origins by pooling and redistributing funds through smart contracts.

U.S. prosecutors and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have officially closed their investigations into Polymarket, the decentralized, blockchain-powered prediction market platform where users bet with real cryptocurrency on the outcomes of future events.

The DOJ was investigating Polymarket last year, reportedly for allowing U.S. users to place bets on the site despite Polymarket being required to block U.S. traders

The FBI raided Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan's Manhattan apartment last November, seizing his phone and electronic devices. A source close to the matter told The New York Post it was politically motivated due to Polymarket's successful prediction of Trump's election win. It's "grand political theater at its worst," the source said. "They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons."

Inspired by patronage from classical music. But modernized for blockchain.

Every piece has unique owner: Patron. It's not only just a tittle. It has utility: Patron Slot. Owners are listed in streaming platforms that allow descriptions. Visibility depends on safety and what kind of content creation artist want promote. Tier-based system. It's good idea to create text-wall, where you post how your Patron Slots will look like for specific kinds of personalities. Content creators should have some integrity before promoting people or stuff.

Ideas are important, but my main focus is on products itself. I'm into creating protocols for content tokenization.

One is already published: Cross-collectional Tokens.

Why this is needed?

Release of album have very small supply, but it shares belonging with bigger collection. When you publish album, track belong to discography too. Patrons stay the same. From economic standpoint: very high scarcity (in my first album just 5 tokens max), but symbolic capital is not dissolved.

It gives tokens sustainability. No matter how many albums will be released, there always will be one collection that everybody come back. I have big plans for this core. Customizable by owners (by selection). Expressive identity (some on-chain ENS integrations... but everything could be possible thanks to extendable nature of CustomizableToken I am working on). There will be also commercially correct renting system. So somebody else could become Patron for some time, but owner will stay the same.

You could deploy everything with basescan. I wrote some explanation, but for now its more dev focused. When I release main collection, I will publish also easy to use creators. Open-source, free, zero fees. Just increasing my own symbolic capital as developer to give my collections more value ;)
