Seems you liked the video form, so here's another one. RYP in a nutshell Sending messages and announcements to your delegators as a dRep, a live demo. This includes making an account and registering your project. It could literally not be any easier, not even four minutes.

You enjoy your Casino, I’ll enjoy my freedom, thanks 😊

Successfully sent 10 tADA to @caike with a Mithril-bootstrapped cardano node using Hydra at #RareEvo23 🙌🏻 Thanks @ch1bo_ and Armand for the workshop!

Finishing up the first few hours of @MidnightNtwrk devnet exploration 🕛 Here's my status update: First I installed the special edition Midnight Lace Chrome extension to have a working wallet. Then you have to hang out in the Discord to get faucet funds. I showed my tDUST off a few days earlier. Once you have a working wallet, you will be encouraged to interact with a midnight sample dApp - see screenshot below, verifying if your github username is actually allowed to work in the devnet. To interact with this dApp, you will need to have a running proof server. That is the server that will actually do the privacy-preserving zero-knowledge proving. It could be installed on your own computer, or run by a trusted entity. They provide easy instructions to start your own proof server (with Docker) and it does not really need to connect to anything - but it will be connected to by the wallet - in which you have to configure a URL, much like when using custom submit endpoints on Cardano. Setting it up was easier than setting up an SPO relay, in particular since you don't connect it to anywhere. Transactions for the welcome app and dApp interactions on an average computer take 10-20 seconds to prove, so its not a CPU-light system like when running a stakepool, which is more RAM than CPU heavy. Once you have done the "user" part of the Midnight samples, you can move on to running your own example dApp. They provide a simple counter that you can deploy using trivial JavaScript package managers and some additional setup for a compactc compiler, which is the language in which you would write smart contracts. With a few wallet-hiccups behind me, I was able to deploy the contract, send some tDUST to the contract address and interact with the counter. Overall, getting this to run was simple and I appreciate the dev experience so far. Coming week, I will see if I can write, compile and deploy a contract myself. Stay tuned and let me know if you have any questions 🌑

Revealed today! New Solana logo

No longer contemplating buying a @spacebudzNFT🪓

There's only two NFT projects I hold more than 40 of, and even though they aren't selling for hundreds of ADA, I'm very fond of them. What are some your 20+ #Cardano NFT mints that you keep holding on to to this day? Feel free to show me a sample pic😻

Just spent 3500₳ on new Stakepool equipment instead of NFTs. Are you proud of me, momma?

For those wondering about the #Cardano Vasil hardfork, here my thoughts why I don't think we'll se it in July, and why that is OK - a thread 🧵 1/n

The @aiken_eng team developed a proof of work smart contract and miner code straight off the bitcoin proof of work algorithm, on Cardano. It’s a show off capabilities and meme coin all at the same time 😆

I haven't been super active on here recently. Can you guess why?

Just got off a call with @Cardano_CF - they must be thinking I work for @adahandle 😹

Low key goal for me? Accumulate enough $ada to sustain pool operations purely through pledge. Bring on the 🐻

If you're a Developer on Cardano, do not miss this one. @JohnAlanWoods does a terrific job of explaining even to a person with just superficial knowledge of on/off-chain dApp development skills, how far ahead of the curve Plutus and eUTXOs really are. It's truly mind-boggling.

If you're not doing Proof of Work on Cardano, mining $TUNA, then you are not a true degen. I don't make the rules 🤷‍♀️ But I make those chunky fillets 🐟

New wallet, who dis?pool.pm/addr1vy4nmtfc4jfftgq…

Man, @IOHK_Charles is going harder after @cryptorecruitr than the community after Coco Locos 😹

GM 👋🙀

Still digging a bit into it, but here are my first findings on the Cardano partner chain toolkit for SPOs. The info below is based on the contents of the available repository. It consists of three main elements, which, depending on what role you fulfill, you will need to run 👇 1. Chain Builder The chain builder is only needed for those that actually intend to create a partner chain. Validators (SPOs) will not need this part of the toolkit. You also do not need to be an SPO to run and operate the chain builder. It will provide the certificates that allow validators to join the network. You will need to run several key pieces of Cardano infrastructure to operate a chain-builder, as the Cardano network is a required component. 2. Permissioned Validator A permissioned validator is essentially a validator that is whitelisted by the chain builder. This allows for initial bootstrapping with trusted parties, or completely permissioned blockchains. You do not need to be an SPO to run this validator, but you will need to run several key pieces of Cardano infrastructure, as the Cardano network is a required component. 3. Registered Validator This seems to be the most closely related to Cardano SPOs, as it is simply a validator that is official registered with the blockchain. Being an SPO on Cardano is a must, as registering on the partner chain involves among other things your Cardano cold key. You will also need to run various other key pieces of Cardano infrastructure, in addition to your pool block producer and relays. My understanding and opinion The partner chain framework allows you to run partner chains without ANY SPO involvement. However, if you do so, you will still need to leverage the Cardano network itself. You cannot use the framework without it. If not leveraging SPOs, you will only be able to run permissioned networks (i.e. where the validators are defined by the "owner" of the chain). SPOs can still benefit here, because they are well situated to provide this type of infrastructure. The fact that without a running Cardano network, the partner chain is not usable with this specific framework, clearly shows that for the partner chain to thrive, Cardano must survive. When building a permissionless partner chain, leveraging Cardano SPOs and their dedicated SPO infrastructure is a must. This means that having stakepools thriving is in the best interest of the partner chains. If the incentive for the SPO to run the Cardano stakepool primarily comes from the partner chain, the desire to support Cardano, or both, is something we will discover and will likely differ from operator to operator. I have yet to understand how stake on the main chain plays into this (if at all), considering that partner chains can run any consensus algorithm they want. I also see that Cardano DB sync is a requirement. This is a big thing in my opinion, because even though it has gotten easier and less resource intensive over time, DB sync is NOT an infrastructure that SPOs have to touch at all normally. I personally run a load-balanced cluster of two DB sync nodes so for me this is readily available, but they are definitely much more hardware-hungry than your average block producer and relay. The fact that you will not be able to participate in consensus of the partner chain if your DB sync is not up-to-date with the chain tip, can be a challenge if you don't know how to build that infrastructure out properly. The latter part is a challenge, because there is a limited overlap between SPOs and DB sync operators I believe. I do not know how Maestro, Blockfrost, Koios and others do their chain synchronization, but most commonly such service providers have experience in building DB sync infrastructure. They are often times NOT SPOs at the same time. Overall, I think the fact that Cardano is a must-have for various reasons to run any partner chain, is very positive. The question for me is now, will the use cases and benefits of running a partner chain with this framework be big enough for chain builders to trust the framework and dependency on Cardano? If you don't believe in the resilience of Cardano, you must have lived in a barn for the last years. I personally am excited to see how it pans out. There are definitely some open questions for me, but I for one am in a good place to support partner chains as a Stakepool operator. Thanks for reading! 🤙

Cardano devs everywhere yelling something we all will know by heart in a few years.

HAZEL Stakepool just minted its 1,000th block ♥️ 🐈 What started as an exploration of crypto technology in May 2021, today celebrates the thousandth time of broadcasting a set of valid blockchain transactions and thereby help securing the decentralized network that is Cardano. I am immensely grateful to have met so many inspiring people on my journey, virtually and in person. I am also extremely happy that I am hanging out with some of the most supportive ones right now at NFTxLV. With the help of our delegators we were able to dedicate time on top of our full time jobs. You enabled us to continue saving cat and kitten lives and since the inception of HAZELpool, we have given 63 cats a new home! 🐈 🏡 On top of that, it enabled us to build one of the most widely used Discord service providers on our chain and showcase a unique new business model. It is hard to express the satisfaction I feel in having stuck around through this market, being with many of you where we all are today, together, and still standing. On to the next five years of focus, fun and felines. Thank you all! Your HAZELpool & Vibrant Team

Yes, that was me. 😽

Hey should I get a goat? Serious input only. @adaGOATS #GOATtribe

Do you know when I will buy your utility token? When I need to use its utility. NOT when you are in the early phases of planning to build the infrastructure to provide utility.

I accidentally received more than 900,000 $ETH from @cryptocom - shall I send it back, or nah? 🤔

I have regrets not doing this earlier. I might have regrets doing it at all, later. What does the #claynation think? Am I part of the fam now? 🐱 Yes, it is a cat, what did you think... #CardanoCommunity @The_ClayMates #CNFT #cats

Contemplating buying a @spacebudzNFT... 🤔

Those markets dude... #Oscars2022 $btc $eth $ada

I am not going to celebrate other projects not getting funded, for whichever reason. I also will not celebrate that this time around for the first time, one of my two proposals was indeed funded. I am just going to get busy.

Ask me which problem you are trying to solve on Cardano and I'll tell you which tools, libraries or projects might be useful for you.

I hope that people are not frustrated they did not get to ape in to a boatload of AXO, like with many other DeFi apps. Instead, I wish they come to realize how profoundly impactful this development can be for Cardano and Blockchain tech as a whole. I own none, but boy do I root for them.

Beta-testing @lace_io today, but I can't tell you anything about it 🤐 I'll whisper it in your ear on the weekend 😉

A rare trait in this crypto space is humility. Being in the background, making this work, without demanding recognition. Almost everyone in the space is making announcements for upcoming announcements and expecting something in return from their community. Building hype certainly has its place, but the real respect for me comes from just putting your head down and then come back up to say hi when you have delivered. I am impressed and grateful that @hoskytoken is one of those projects. Not for themselves, but for others, in particular. The many SPOs they support without getting much in return (except from @StakeWithPride 🤣), community members they have helped, newbies they have onboarded, and much more I cannot even recollect without researching. Who knew that without them, @MehenOfficial would have had a much harder time to come to life on Cardano? Now you do. Thanks Hosky 🙏 How? Read the article in the link in my comment below.

Sniped a new @ore_times_3 - what do you think?

Who would have thought that about 11 months ago an idea I had about improving social media integrations for Cardano would get me to where we are today. We are grateful for a six month 1,000,000 ADA delegation from @InputOutputHK to support our efforts 💙 and the cats 🐈 1/3 🧵

Easily @IOHK_Charles - represents Crypto non-partisan to governments and enterprises, eloquent, knowledgeable, not easily fooled.

Crypto Twitter folks seem to have a hard time distinguishing between people defending Cardano and people defending @IOHK_Charles. I will fight tooth and nail against misinformation about the chain, but I won't jump off a building for the man that created it. I'm not in a cult.

dReps are finally here and I am happy to announce: I am not going to be a dRep in the near future. I am already an SPO, and diluting my time further is not beneficial. Instead, I will focus on building the best communication and notification app across all of Cardano. RYP.

Happy Birthday to my terrific, smart, beautiful and compassionate wife. Without her, I'd be less than half of who I am today ♥

Mithril signer, as of today. signed with love, HAZEL

Remember the time HAZELnet was not funded 2 times in a row? I built it anyway. It is now used in 1000+ Cardano Discords. Remember when RYP got not funding in F11 and F12? I built SPO and dRep verification and notifications regardless. Vote for us in F13. If not? You know.

Didn’t mint Ore, didn’t mint Katz (had WL), didn’t mint Porky. I have no Fomo, friends, and I can tell you, i don’t feel any worse off. 🤙🏼 Go with what you like, not with what anyone else likes - in case you get stuck with them. If you got any, enjoy them ♥️

The Wolf is on the streets, where is everbody at?

Fuck it, I’m going to sell all my eggs and will be moving it all into ADA.

you're

Y’all are making fun of Daedalus Turbo but my reality is, @HAZELnet_io would have been funded if DT would have requested only 675,000 USD instead of 750,000. 🖕

Help me with this reality check - anyone? How do you make blocks on #Cardano? @Cinnamon__Bunnn @kdevpls @Cryptofly777 @RyanJones_NEWM @drewhaines3 @877PSBYTE6 @QuasarSure #CardanoCommunity #stakepool

I can literally see the Cardano train leaving the station and picking up steam, every day I am on here. It will be a juggernaut, once it is fully in motion.

New Scarf. You like it?

If we put everyone at @buidler_fest (and some 100 others that could not make it) together in a large space, 3-4 times a year for in-person events, and we add time to do mob programming sessions, the progress and ecosystem and value growth on Cardano would be absolutely staggering

I'm some random dude from the Pacific Northwest and run one of ~3000 stakepools on Cardano. 👋

The first website I built was live for 26 years. The first browsergame I built is running since 21 years. The first commercial app I built is in use since 16 years. My Stakepool and the apps I built here are barely more than 2 years old. You can imagine how long they will live.

You thought I would come to your city and not pay respect to the cat? 🐈 Thank you Barcelona for your hospitality 🙏 😻

Charles and Whale retweets within 30 minutes, I think it’s time for a nap 😬 Great seeing everyone at Rare Evo and looking forward to seeing many of you again soon in Vegas! HAZELnet out, Vibrant in ✌🏻

Say hi to the very first dRep on Cardano mainnet👋 So hot off the presses, that even cardanoscan does not know it yet. cardanoscan.io/transaction/0…

Hai, what’s my name?

Has someone considered this so far? First Equine collab? #lfgoat #goattribe #hybrids @adaGOATS @EquineNFT

Hello I am Nils

When I'm saying I am building the most secure and private Discord Bot on the network, I mean it. I will not let my product (despite me telling them there's a security hole months ago) be victim to major flaws like this. I am now the proud "owner" of the @spacebudzNFT Pink Dino

So am I getting the right vibe when I’m interpreting events that @adaswapapp looks like it was launched by a drug-fueled Tik-Toker that followed a wikihow article on “minting your first NFT” while yelling profanities at their mother from their garage?

Cardano Foundation singlehandedly saved me from having to spend 4-6 hours voting with three wallets on thousands of proposals in Catalyst using the mobile app. 🙇

This guy is trying to shill you a DAO and finds all the right words. wyd? 🔥

I'd like to share an important experience with you today. It changed how I see the world. Thanks to @DrLightsSon and @adamKDean 🫡

📢 Here's a message to those declaring blockchain technology dead, "because if it were alive, it would actually solve problems like AI currently does, and take off". Newsflash: I was deep in Artificial Intelligence back in 2005 - I majored in it. Nobody back then cared. 1/n🧵

Took Lindsey Stirling (love her music) two weeks to get to 1.5 million views. Took our Cardano Girls twelve hours to get to half that. 👑

Later today you will be able to resolve @adahandle's directly in Discord and set your default handle for your account via @HAZELnet_io. Yes, we will over time make it possible to tweet at handles - we already allow you to send Discord DMs to handles. Our plans are just starting.

Can we settle this "best @adahandle sweater" debate now?

🧵 A little bit of Witcher lore on Cardano There are humans (Cardano users) and monsters (problems). We also have some other races in the mix, like dwarves (Ethereum) and elves (Solana) and even more rare species. The humans think all monsters need to be eradicated, and many 1/n

Hi, my name is, what? My name is, who? My name is, chka-chka, Slim Shady Hi, my name is, huh? My name is, what? My name is, chka-chka, Slim Shady Hi @discosolaris - about time. Tremendous shoutout to our delegator @QuasarSure for hooking me up with this dapper snob.

If you ask me to compare @cNFTcon to @RareBloomEvent I will tell you without hesitation that history has been made at both. 💡

I think it was the last time I applied for Catalyst in its current form. Congrats to all the projects (primarily of companies) that got funded. As an individual in any of the product categories, I don't think its possible to meaningfully have the reach required to make it.

I‘m at 120 votes for Catalyst proposals and not being able to vote on Desktop is a grind. I likely would already be done with 500-600. Well, a few more days to vote are left. Check out our proposals and give them a thumbs up or down, to make your voice heard.

There are NFTs outside of #Cardano?

I love how everyone is now interested in governance, as they realize that the treasury is a part of governance. 😅

If I told you, that as a project’s community manager or founder you could send a Discord message to all of your holders that allow it. Would you believe me? What if I told you, you can text them?

Took me one day and I'm opening the @TavernSquadNFT raids page every couple of hours, full well knowing my raids are still going on. Do you know what it does not say anywhere on the page? Staking, yield, APY, moon, frame. This is what immersion means. Web3 projects, take note.

Hey guys, I think my Coingecko is broken.

Looks like I’m officially an “IOG simp” as per Bison Coin 🤦‍♀️ My Legolas level shilling of Midnight must be imminent. PS: CF delegation left HAZEL, and IOGs is soon to follow. 🫡 I must not have simped hard enough?

The Wolf 🐺 is here. 🤙🏼

We did not get Catalyst funding, and I promised we will build what we planned to, regardless. Here we are, building out your Community HQ website for @HAZELnet_io

Today starts my third year on Cardano. Thanks for making it the day we break 500 delegators, as well. 🙏

Happy New Year from HAZEL pool and the Vibrant team 💥

I've applied to three jobs in my life - all in 2008, right out of college. No response for any application. Since then, I have never written an application again. And I intend for it to stay that way.

RYP is now approved for Google Login, which was quite the process. It will make getting your account even easier, especially for those that love the web 2.0 path 🙌 Email notifications are built-in already, so get ready.

I'll buy an @ore_times_3 once I can send them on @TavernSquadNFT raids.

Just requested to have my @CoinMarketCap accounts deleted. Salude @coingecko.

dRep Discord roles with Vibrant are easy to set up and the bot is free for a single role. ✨ Watch below how I set up a Discord with a delegation-based role in under 3 minutes, fully self-serve. 👀 Share with your dRep, if you want them to engage with you. 🤝

I am not asking for much. All I really want is to build a product on Cardano that literally everybody can get use out of. 🤷‍♀️

Step 1: Log in via socials Step 2: Connect your wallet Step 3: Get announcements from projects you hold in your wallet to your email, phone, Discord or Telegram. Yes, it can be that simple.

No funding in round 11 of Catalyst, but overall I think the results will propel Cardano further than ever before. I am content with the overall outcome, if not for myself or for the team at Summon, but for the chain as a whole. Important projects got funded this round. 1/2

Cardano will be adopted by all transparent industries

No big deal, since our credo is to do things right instead of fast, and I for one am supporting this 100%. Vasil will be a major milestone that catapults us forward even closer to being the most advanced smart contract chain out there. LFG! iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2022/0… 🏁

I am about two weeks into my imaginary funded Catalyst F12 proposal and on track to deliver my first imaginary milestone one week ahead of schedule.

BREAKING: A bug in the solar system. If the sun all of a sudden turns off, earth will cease to be inhabitable. 🌎👋

It's abundantly clear that the race to zero is on - between @CreditSuisse, LUNC and @hoskytoken.

Can't believe I wasn't already following @LGBTQstakepool and @swervos1. I am ashamed.

Fair warning to those coming to 🎲 @cNFTcon or @RareBloomEvent: I'm a hugger. If we've met before or not, if we had a positive relationship on socials, I tend to greet people with a hug Reply or DM me if I should exclude you from this experience 😘 everybody's got their prefs ^^

Today is a new era! An era where nobody ever has to be delegated to a retired Stakepool again! As of right now, being signed up for RYP is enough to get notified if your pool retires. Use Telegram, Email, Discord, SMS, or Push Notification to never miss out on rewards again! ✨
