Hey community! Excited to delve into the groundbreaking possibilities that Cartesi and Celestia brings to developers and the blockchain ecosystem at large.

Here's a glimpse into the power of this integration;

  • Celestia's High Throughput Modular DA Layer

One key aspect is Celestia's high throughput modular Data Availability (DA) layer. This dynamic layer introduces a fresh wave of on-chain applications, broadening the scope for innovative projects.

  • Unlocking Data-Intensive Applications

The collaboration unlocks the potential for data-intensive applications, paving the way for verifiable video processing on a Linux Virtual Machine (VM). This means developers can now explore and implement applications that require lots of data processing, pushing the boundaries of what's achievable on the blockchain.

  • Verifiable Video Processing on a Verifiable Linux VM

One noteworthy application that emerges from this integration is the ability to perform verifiable video processing on a verifiable Linux VM. This is a game-changer for developers seeking to integrate video processing capabilities with the security and transparency of blockchain technology.

  • Innovation Knows No Bounds

Cartesi and Celestia are not just providing solutions; they are catalysts for innovation. The potential to seamlessly integrate data-intensive applications onto the blockchain opens up new horizons for the developer community.

Would be awesome to get your perspective on this? Share your insights and let's spark a discussion on the future of blockchain development!

Hey guys and gals,

Just wondering what would be the best way to move all my crypto from crypto.com custodial wallet to coinbase custodial wallet.

I started my crypto investing about 2 years ago, having no idea what I was doing. I bought and stored my crypto on the crypto.com app, but I would now like to move everything to a more user friendly platform and have it all in one place - hence the desire to move to coinbase.

Would it make sense to transfer each currency one by one on their own chain, or convert it all into something else and do it one transfer?

Thanks for the help you genius people!

I wonder if gaming would be one of the things falling in the "watch the space" segment.

I am definitely looking at many blockchain games and will continue to do so. More so, the play-2-earn category.

In truly historic fashion, not only did the spot Bitcoin ETF finally get approved and go live for trading on Thursday, but it did over $1B in trade volume in the first 5 minutes. While the BTC price didn’t pump quite as much as we thought it might having topped out at $49,000, it is extremely encouraging to see so much interest from the traditional side of the market. It is now as easy to buy Bitcoin as it is to buy any stock, a huge win for the crypto industry. Many believe this marks the start of a massive bull run, especially with the Bitcoin halving approaching in April.

IMO, the BTC ETF is a massive win for the entire market. This week Ethereum has its highest price since May of 2022.

I've been checking out some smaller mining machines and rigs that don't cost a lot of money, so I've wondered for a while now, is it worth getting into mining or is it best to just buy and resell? Is it better to buy a whole mining machine(they look like mini servers) or is it better to source the different parts separately and build a rig myself? If getting into it with some small machine for starters is worth it, what would I need specifically in order to start operating and is there any difference in which coin I decide to mine for(for example BTC, ETH)? Any advices are appreciated.

Obligatory this didn't happen today, it happened Christmas day.

TL;DR: I got scammed out of 8.6 Ethereum, or about 22,000$

Transaction: 0x8b9223289156047cc08dea656bd5d479695bc6c7bc48917253be0bc4e02c1246

--

It was Christmas day, and I was sitting on the porcelain chair regretting my prior Eggnog decisions, curiously checking up on a totally unrelated crypto, Quantum. In poking around, I came across a Medium post with a bunch of high-fives (or claps, or whatever their rating system is) talking about an air-drop for QTUM. It referenced a "tool" that you could link to your Web3 wallet to see what aidrops were currently active that you were eligible for.

So I linked up, clicked the button, and up popped a signing request. This should have been first :sirens: AWOOGA :sirens: moment.

Now, for those that don't know, a signing request is a request for approval to send a transaction. The kicker in this case though, was that the signing request had no information (Exodus, the wallet I use, didn't show any details of the transaction I was being asked to send - destination, quantity, etc).

In my ignorance with the advent of Web3 standards and lack of knowledge of how things work, I legitimately thought this was normal - that it was asking to reveal my public address (or seomthing). Again, the prompt to approve the signing request did not contain anything indicating I was sending currency (no destination address was shown, no value / quantity, etc - nothing).

After the third or fourth back to back pop-up, that feeling of dread sank in... and my sins became very painfully clear. I sent all of my Ethereum, Polygon, BAT, and Render, unknowingly, to this scammer.

Because of how crypto works, there is no recourse (not even in taxes - thefts aren't claimable, and unrealized gains aren't either).

I reached out to Exodus and mostly got canned responses back. There's nothing they can do, obviously (other than fix their fucking app to show critical information that would have prevented this from happening in the first place)

Hopefully my fuck-up can serve as a reminder to anybody involved in the Crypto world to remain vigilant, and always remember that you're your own worst enemy.

Technical Details

The Medium post I was reading has been taken down, and the user/ post is flagged for review. https://medium.com/@SolanaSharkXX803/qtum-qtum-airdrop-eligibility-step-by-step-guide-84bd69fba6ab

The Web3 site it linked to for "checking for airdrops" (dappradar.vip) has also been taken down. Both were up and active on Christmas.

The link in the TL;DR at the top is the transaction, if you're curious, where I unknowingly and unwillingly sent the entirety of my Ethereum holdings. Hopefully Exodus Wallet fixes their own apps' shortcoming...

The destination (scam) address is 0x0000C5d73291e9ae226E7fE59ea1e6b68bE30000, which itself is an Ethereum App, owned by 0x2915d0f44448cCEbBe95eBCa9193ceb2E462AbBF.

The actual scammed currency gets transparently forwarded to 0x000037bB05B2CeF17c6469f4BcDb198826Ce0000.

At the time of this writing, this scammer has successfully scammed 60.89 Eth (~159,000$) of which 8.636 Eth is mine.

BlockFi and Robinhood users, the IRS is issuing CP2000 notices for 2021 trades from these platforms. We've had a few people reach out to us about these notices, so lets break it down:

A CP 2000 notice indicates that the income the IRS received from external sources, such as crypto exchages, differ from what you've declared on your tax return.

Crypto investors REALLY need to to be keeping an eye out. These notices might not be entirely accurate. They stem from 1099 forms that crypto exchanges submit to the IRS, However, these 1099 forms only show total sales volume for crypto. They fail to capture FULL details of your crypto transactions.

The worst thing you can do is ignore the notice. The IRS can put liens on your property or even levy your bank account.

This also stems from a larger issue we could be seeing in 2024. More crypto tax audits. The IRS can look back 3 years into tax records. With 2021 being a bull run, we could see more crypto tax audits in 2024. We saw something similiar in 2020 with 2017 transactions.

Recently did a video about this prediction:

Most importantly, make sure that you are reporting your crypto! Previously, there was a significant increase in CP2000 notices from Coinbase users, and similar situations may occur with other exchanges as the year progresses.
