How did the Agave client where it is today? They pissed off an Italian, which then got pissed, and now we have a better @solana client. Case closed.

Their toiletpaper

After 2,5 years being a @SolanaFndn community manager, today is my last day in this role! I started out as a moderator for the very heavily scammer infested @SolanaConf group in 2022. After FTX collapsed I was asked if I could also help out in the main Solana TG group, which I have done every day, until today. I have gone through the FTX collapse, 2 outages, $SOL at 8, endless FUD. I banned more than 10k scammers. Answered every Solana question imaginable. What a wild time. Moving on I am fully committed to working at @triton_one full time as a business developer! Thanks everyone who believed in me, and also sometimes had to suffer me ;) @chrisdotsol @Kyzer @CryptoMagellan @Austin_Federa

This is superfake

Hey everybody! I wrote another article. This time it is about solving actual problems and friends having your back! The Chromebooks I sent to @Marvynx_Kong have finally arrived! medium.com/@schoonebeek/help… Please feel free to read and share! #OnlyPossibleOnSolana

1/🧵 Let's dive into, what I believe, is the way a lot of new users will start using DeFi on @solana coming bullrun! Today we'll be looking into @symmetry_fi and @prism_ag. This thread is in no way, shape, or form to be used or viewed as financial advice.

He even looks like a banker! Nice!

I'm flying out of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 tonight! This @hackerhouses was my last event for 2024. It's a good time to briefly reflect on my experiences this year and be thankful for all the wonderful people I met. Thank you, event ninjas, for the @hackerhouses, @SolanaConf, and the fabulous parties everywhere. Thank you @SolanaSummitOrg and @SolanaCrossroad, for two epic gatherings! Thank you, @islandDAO_DL, for not one but two amazing months of building together. Thank you, old and new friends! You know who you are!!! Most of all, thank you, @triton_one, for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime! I am eternally grateful for the friendships and the support!

I love it when a plan comes together...

#LetsBONK @bonk_inu

It was awesome to be on a @SolanaConf stage for the first time! 100% would do it again! Thanks for having me @platis_e

I made a smal quick-guide for all non-Dutch people coming to @SolanaConf! SOUND ON!

He seems to be skipping leg day though.... Don't trust anyone who skips leg day...

Because something went wrong on the @drip_haus snapshot this morning I am now the proud owner of TWO @RaccsNFT legendaries by the hand of @degenpoet. I'm giving one away in 24 hrs to a random person that RETWEETS and FOLLOWS me! #NFTGiveaway #SolanaNFTs

Hey everybody! I wrote another article. This time it's about how sometimes it's so easy to make a big impact for others! Today I've sent 10 Chromebooks to @Marvynx_Kong! Feel free to read and share; medium.com/@schoonebeek/help…

Is this thugging?

1/🧵 Due to popular demand; The-Mega-Super-What-Tha-Culture-Dutch-Megathread-Bonanza, plus pro tips on how to Dutch for everyone coming to @SolanaConf Best to bookmark, print, download and study this thing before you touch down!

I quit my job. Available for full time!

Thank you @doublezero! Awesome swagpack for the collection!

Two years at Triton One, what a journey! On to the next 10 years!

Do a remake of a Beyonce video clip.

New PFP, who dis? After thinking about it for a very long time, I have run out of reasons to not be part of one of the best run DAOs in the Ecosystem. Return to Monke. Thanks @supersimon77 for the motivation!

Just left the @islandDAO_DL villa. It's pouring rain, which reflects my heart. Thank you, everyone, for contributing to 2 weeks of joy, friendship, and productship. I won't tag people because you are too many. Don't want to exclude anyone. You know who you are. 🫶🏝

I got something in the mail today, and I am over the moon! IBRL!!!! @doublezero

For me, @islandDAO_DL is dropping your friends in the back of your truck and driving them to dinner.

It's crazy how fast narratives change and how easily people forget. Only a few months ago @Solana was declared dead, a laughing stock. People were gloating about the price appreciation. Forums were flooded with FUD, lies and trolling. The @Wikipedia page was somehow full of bullshit. Big youtube channels told their followers to stay away from $SOL at $8.00. And now, only a few months later, the same people are dead silent, or even did a complete 180. The same people are now telling you to keep an eye on Solana. Would be amazing to put on the bigboy-pants and show some accountability. Also massive shoutout to the Solana Community Management team (me included) for doing a banger job! Not just simply banning people as soon as they ask a difficult question, or make a remark about network problems from over a year ago, but simply educating them. Keep an eye out for all the grifters the coming months, see how they jump on the hype-train over and over again.

So @vidor_solrise just showed me how you onboard 30 million people into @solana with one push. Better put that notifs on for @solflare_wallet... Mind... Blown...

So a few weeks ago I went Stand Up Paddling with friends. Some asshole with a boat made waves to make us fall into the water. I lost the best pair of sunglasses I ever had. They no longer sell these, and I was quite upset, so I emailed the company;

Budapest was a vibe. What a beautiful city! Thank you @hackerhouses, thank you @platis_e and @amatlock_ for having me! See you at the next one!

For those that still don't know: @prism_ag is where the cool kids do their trading! Try pro-mode, it's like having safe CEX! @hey_wallet send 1000 $DOGGO to the first 100 retweets.

In my opinion the greatest strength, to me at least, of @solana is that it's so much fun. I connected to so many people, shitposted a megaton, minted 10 <parental advisory> tokens, created my own chat, meet amazing people, bought honey from half the globe away,

Chief Vibes Officer, Business Developer Executive, and now Talent Scout on top of that! If you're looking for work in the ecosystem, we might have the role for you!

There are two types of people in the Solana Ecosystem. People who wake up every day with an unfathomable drive to contribute to a better, fairer internet. And then some people are here to steal, scam, and mass extract. Make sure you surround yourself with the right people.

Fomo at the @hackerhouses!

Posted without context

Remember that time when @ChildOfBusiness onboarded thousands into @solana? Remember when he set a world record with @drip_haus ? Remember when the ambassadors couldn't keep up with the code requests after the drop? Remember when people were using God-Mode on @tensor_hq?

Some time ago, I blatantly asked @KeystoneWallet if I could try their latest hardware, the Keystone Pro 3 for the @Solana ecosystem. They said yes, and not only did they send me one, but they also had it customized with my pfp! Look at this thing, it’s amazing! When unboxing it, a few things immediately stand out; this thing is very nicely packed, and the box even comes with a piece of jelly tape to turn it into a secret drawer! The Keystone comes with a USB-C cable and a couple of sheets for your seedphrase. It comes with 6 sheets because you can have 3 seed phrases on it simultaneously. Having all your seed phrases on one device may be handy, but should the device break, you’d be locked out of all your wallets until you’ve replaced the device. If I were to start my crypto journey today I would probably prefer to have all my wallets on the same device (and have a backup device). Next up was the getting started. I was already aware this device was an "over air” hardware wallet, meaning it doesn’t have to connect to your computer, ever, but I didn’t think about how you would update the device. The clever people at @KeystoneWallet thought of this as well: You can download the latest update on your computer, transfer that to a microSD, put the microSD in your Keystone, and run the update. (I must note here that I luckily found a microSD card lying around; it is not included in the box and is not offered as an option on the website.) You can also connect the device to your laptop or PC and update it through the website. The Keystone never needs to be exposed. Talk about safety! Setting up the device after the update is really intuitive; the 4-inch touchscreen is very responsive and works a lot faster when compared to 2-button devices. You get to choose between using a passcode or password when setting up the device, and then comes the next surprise: The fingerprint scanner. You can unlock the device and sign transactions with your fingerprint! The first time I heard about @KeystoneWallet was when @solflare_wallet announced that they would integrate it. So naturally, the next step in testing this is connecting my Keystone to my Solflare extension. When you go to "Add Wallet” on your Solflare extension (or mobile app) you can select Keystone. When you do this, a new browser tab opens with a blurry camera. This page will read a QR code generated on the Keystone. After that, your wallet is imported! When you want to have other assets on your Keystone, like $BTC or ERC-20 tokens, you’ll find out that Keystone does not have their own wallet. So for ERC-20 you’d have to rely on, for example, MetaMask or OKX wallet. For $BTC you’d have to download, for example, Sparrow. Although I really like the power of choice, I can imagine that people with many different tokens would mind installing 3 to 7 different wallets instead of having everything in one UI. From a hardware manufacturer perspective, I totally understand that the cost of running a UI like that would make the product you build a lot more expensive, forcing up the prices of your product to maintain availability for the existing users. Now for the real testing. I’ve loaded up my Keystone with some SOL. Because most people reading this are probably avid @Solana ecosystem users I won’t bore you with explaining every interaction. You probably just want to know one thing; how is the transaction signing? I start my timer and unlock my device, it powers and I put in my passcode. I initiate a transaction in the Solflare interface, it generates a QR, I press the “read QR button on my device”, I scan the QR-code. This prompt the transaction simulation on the frigging Keystone! I slide a button on the touchscreen, I scan my fingerprint. Now it has the signed transaction, which I need to broadcast; the device has generated a QR, which I show to my laptop's camera. All done. The experience with mobile is exactly the same! Working with the Keystone is equally fast as it’s main competitors. What I really like is the transaction simulation on the device's screen! The device itself never touches my laptop or phone, which makes it incredibly secure. Having three seed phrases really speeds things up as well. One other good thing to note: Both the hardware and software on the Keystone are #opensource! The Keystone is not small enough to hide it in a pocket on the side of your fishing hat. This could be a good or a bad thing. Also when you are a PC user and don't have a webcam: This is probably not the product for you. Thank you, @KeystoneWallet , for this amazing gift. I promise it’ll go to good use! If you made it here, make sure you retweet and leave a comment; among those who do, I’ll raffle a discount code for Keystone products. #Giveaway

New week! Let's get at it! If you are building for the @colosseum hackathon, let me know so I can get you on @triton_one infrastructure!

But what does this person identify as?

If your beef does not look like this, you are not Brazilian, and not a @superteam member. Ho Lee Fuk.

Here we go again!

Having fun with the guys at @islandDAO_DL

Budapest, here I come!

We are here

Dear @MarkYusko, I've been thinking about your share of unfounded FUD that has been the talk of town over the last 24 hours. I've read the conversation that took place with @mert multiple times and came to the conclusion that it is most likely you haven't used Solana over the last few years. Being a Community Manager in the @Solana ecosystem I'd like to cordially invite you to come and have a look at what we've built. Just adding to a negative and unfair bias/narrative without putting my money where your mouth is won't cut it... I'd love to gift you enough $SOL to buy an NFT, do a swap, stake some tokens somewhere, burn an NFT, buy into a @symmetry_fi index, and a ton of other stuff! I'll give you a tour myself. Please reply with your Solana wallet address (I recommend @solflare_wallet) and I will send the 0.052 SOL! Yours truly, Wholesome Pyrt. P.S. I'll happily guide you if you need help!

This mfer walks up to your girl. What do you do? So much merch I'm building a merch-man in the corner of my bedroom to watch over me while I sleep!

Oh yeah! Chief vibe officer reporting for duty! Thailand, here we come!

Ohhhh yeah! Let's fucking gooooooooo! IslandDAO is the place to be if you are: -a builder -a founder -love co working -are solana curious -love sun -love water -love friendship -love vibes -love to see me do a barrel roll while kitesurfing.

Breakpoint is over. Again the Events team and Solana did not disappoint! First of all I'd have to give a massive shoutout to @SolanaCollectiv for hooking me up with a full rider ticket, and hooking me up in what must have been the nicest hotelroom in Amsterdam! The whole party started a bit early for me as I managed to get myself in MEV-camp and Block Zero as well. I got to see the awesome campus that TAETS is and how impressive it looked after @asiathefox and @platis_e cast their magic over it! Impressive stuff! During MEV and BlockZero I learned a ton from all Solana OGs there, thanks also to @Bryan_Cogent injecting all that knowledge into my brain! Then the real part started! Meeting everyone after a year of hard work is always amazing. @SolanaConf truly is a celebration in that sense. This year I got to invite two newbies to their first Breakpoint as well. Their key takeaways? @Your_NLP_Coach: "The thing that I found most impressive was the sense of community, their conviction and drive was truly a sight to behold. Never underestimate a strong community!" @Rockooor: "I never had any doubts about Solana being the best tech. The energy during Breakpoint is really next level though. The people, the mentality, the quality, the drive, the "sure we can build that" way of thinking. It was crazy to experience all these things. Best vibe and conference in general I ever attended!" The quality of the presentations and panels is getting better by the year. (Shoutout to @voshy and @brianlong ). The alpha that was dropped. Between all the networking, listening we got to visit all amazing stands (Shoutout to @Sleekcard who provided about half the ecosystem with their top-level networking tool!) and enjoy really good food. Now, a week after, the dust has settled. The follow-ups have been mostly done. It's time for me to start work again, and so should you so we can meet next year in Singapore! Thank you everyone who made this amazing event possible!

Who will I see in Budapest?

If you're still sleeping on @drip_haus, I think it's time to wake up and get an invite code before tomorrow’s @mapez_nft!!! Be there or be square!

The trick in life: You got to show up. Not feeling it? Show up. Tired? Show up. Uncomfortable? Show up. You have to show up or opportunity will pass you by. Work hard. You have to put in the work! Life is not about handouts. Show up for yourself! You deserve it!

Thank you everyone for 4k! Onwards to 5k!

The @symmetry_fi team has made some funds available to reward 10 winners!!! 5 x $30 worth of fund tokens to be used on @symmetry_fi 5 x 6000 $PRISM That's arounf $250 worth of prizes! All you need to do is FOLLOW me, @prism_ag and @symmetry_fi RETWEET+LIKE the tweet below!

Best stickers and memes in the business: @skultdao Upcoming: Free mint Are we taking notes, anon? Really excited for this drop!

@Politie kijken we mee? Vloggen tijdens het besturen van een gemotoriseerd voertuig. Mag dat?

Man.... This new @andrewmvson x @drip_haus common drop is right up my alley... Hot dayum! Love it!

Going to keep tweeting my legendary until it resets. Also I'm going to tag people I know got rugged. @eddiekickass @drip_haus

Going to onboard 50 people into the @Solana ecosystem tomorrow! Here is my plan: Step one: Buy some more Facelesseses by @ChildOfBusiness on @tensor_hq. (Use sweep function)

This is the playground at @islanddao

Things I'm excited for in no particular order: - New @drip_haus handle reveal - @LatticaNetwork - @metamenft - @jump_firedancer - Token22 - Solana DeFi to pick up - @SolanaConf - @hackerhouses - @solarplex_xyz - @PubKeyApp What am I missing?

Before Solana, I worked in mental healthcare. The day after my first Hacker House, I quit my job because I knew I wanted to work on Solana full time. I've been working full-time for almost 2 years. Since Breakpoint 2022, I have made many of my best friends.

I'm on my way home from Amsterdam! The @SolanaConf was such an incredible event, by and for incredible people! A yearly meet-up to look back, to look forward, and to network so we can move this space forward as a collective. A time to meet your team in person on the top deck of a ship. That said; it was so much fun to meet the people I talk to every Friday in person during the @SolanaCollectiv mixer. It was very educational to attend MEV camp and Block Zero where I met the actual builders and guardians of our beloved chain. Lastly I'm very honored to tell the world that anything is possible as long as you show up; I'm proud to tell everyone I'll be working with @triton_one soon!

🏴‍☠️

Fixed it.

If the aggregator wars are showing us something, it is that Solana is a place where you can just do things. There's more than enough room for more DEXs, there is more than enough room for more aggregators. Would love to see the teams meme more about the situation to be honest.

And delivered!

POV, your ledger gets delivered after 6 months.

Stats saturday! I have almost gone through my first 1k of @drip_haus invites! (62 left) That's almost 200 per week! My followers have quadrupled! @degenpoet liked 50 of my tweets. @bsuman37 and @diegoarmandoAD helped me a ton!

Some people just love to leave the best jobs on the table I guess... Which of your friends is looking for a job that involves the best infrastructure provider? jobs.solana.com/companies/tr…

If you're not minting @skultdao today, you will be a unhappy whatever you identify as. 📠

🏆 Just when you think you'll forever be riggidy-rugged this happens!!!! (Or maybe it's because I sent @degenpoet a thank you?) Let's go! @drip_haus

All my friends are building in public for the hackathon, and I could not be prouder! @beeman_nl and @tobeycodes building @SamuiBuild. @hungrytrtl building a framework for Solana builders. @solder_official gets a mention here, too! @SuperteamBR with multiple projects! Insane.

The future of crypto payments at @SolanaCrossroad! Only possible on Solana

OMG! Mom! I made it!

"Steve, where did you buy that @solana hoodie?" "Steve, what store sells those @DeadKingSociety shirts?" "Son, where did you get those @solflare socks? I cannot find a store that has them!" Come to @SolanaConf, habibi!

OMG look at this! @ChildOfBusiness I'm so lucky to have it happen on your drop!!!!!!! @diegoarmandoAD Please don't kick me out of the getruggeddaily-club! 🏆 RARE LOCKED. I’m guaranteed a 🟨 Rare for the next Showcase drop! 🔥 @drip_haus

So what I was thinking was; @MountainDAO_ is cool, but it's in the US and involves frozen water. Personally, I like my water liquid, and my SOL warm and bright. Thus @deanmachine and I thought: @IslandDAOx Stay tuned!

Home can be anywhere @solana has landed in Hong Kong.

I dreamed I lived next to a lake and I could jump on it with my board on my feet and my kite in the air and now I miss being at @islanddao.

Sheesh, cleanest horse ever!!! @DeFi_Land @UbermenschSymm1 @diegoarmandoAD

So excited for @degenpoet's new @drip_haus drop tomorrow! If it is what I think it is my profile will be a thing of beauty!!!! Will hit that 4k follower target in no time!

Thank you @degenpoet and @drip_haus !!! @jackblack look what DP did!

One of my dearest friends! Proud to have had this person alongside me for a large part of my journey!

If sailing on a big catamaran with friends between tropic islands is not a perpetual life goal, I don't know what is.

This year must be the best year in the world :P I get to work with the best in the game. I get to go to all the @hackerhouses. I get to go to @SolanaCrossroad. I'm going to @IslandDAOx. I'm going to @SolanaConf. Wow. How much difference 1 year can make.

Rugged by @drip_haus 😭
