Probably the first of a kind... a Substrate node... executing a Plutus script to validate an UTxO transaction. This is a project by TxPipe called Griffin, a Substrate-based framework for building app-chains using the eUTxO model and the Plutus language. Cardano devs can use it to build partnerchains that leverage their exiting expertise around UTxO programmability.show more

Hoskinson Says Ethereum Is Trying to Copy Cardano’s Extended... UTXO Charles Hoskinson says Ethereum $ETH is attempting to copy Cardano's Extended UTXO, or EUTXO, while refusing to acknowledge its origins. This comes after Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter shared a proposal for native UTXOs on Ethereum. The Cardano founder called EUTXO the biggest innovation in smart contracts and claimed It's “a crime in the Ethereum inner circles to mention Cardano.” Hoskinson said he has spent more than a decade developing the model and argued it has already been proven at scale.show more

CARDANO ENTERS FULL COMPLIANCE STACK WITH SCORECHAIN INTEGRATION The... Cardano Community Foundation has announced a full integration with Scorechain’s compliance platform. The system now supports risk scoring, entity attribution, and transaction monitoring for $ADA. It also extends coverage to Cardano native tokens within the same framework. The integration is tailored to Cardano’s UTXO model. Multi chain teams can now track Cardano activity alongside other major assets, per announcement.show more

BREAKING NEWS: CARDANO IS CLOSEST TO BITCOIN NOT ETHEREUM... 😱😱😱 Charles Hoskinson says #Cardano is very close to #Bitcoin in terms of its technology and design. While Bitcoin uses UTXO, Cardano uses an extended version called EUTXO. It's Proof of Stake was based on Bitcoin's Proof of Work, which is a very different type of Proof of Stake than #Ethereum has. Is Cardano the true next-gen Bitcoin?show more

If you’re reusing substrate (especially coco🥥) for multiple cycles... - never leave your pots🪴 wet for long. Mold can develop fast, and your substrate can become unusable. On my farm, fully replacing the coco mix (I run 70% coco / 30% perlite) across 3,000 pots costs around $25,000 💸 So yeah… I try to treat it carefully. Right now, rainy season is starting, but I’m only running about 30% capacity - 1,000 pots🤏 So I decided to use a short window of good weather🌄 to sort through the unused pots, refresh the substrate, and cover them to keep moisture out until the rest of the farm is back online Sounds like a simple task… but it’s not 😅 Swapping substrate in a small 2x2 tent is one thing - going through thousands of pots in a couple of days is a whole different game🧑‍🌾 What about you - do you reuse your substrate, or replace it every cycle? 💚🫂show more

New Subquantum Informational Mechanics framework (NMSI). A radical mathematical... shift in fundamental physics is introduced in the NMSI, inferring that information rather than energy or matter is the fundamental substrate of reality. The Universe isn’t expanding and doesn’t die thermally, the vacuum is not empty, but is an active medium composed of elementary units of information called infobits which self-organize through progressive compaction onto dynamically viable structures. The cosmic evolution is governed by optimal informational transport modeled upon a substrate called the Riemann Oscillatory Network (RON). The radical concept treats physical fields such as EM & gravity as emergent properties of a Coherent Logical Oscillator influenced by the Riemann zeta function (ζ) that governs the organization of space, time and mass. 🔗show more

The PCB’s in today’s smartphones contain an ever-increasing density... of components and integration. The iPhone uses “Substrate-Like” PCB technology to achieve impressive levels of component density, everything is so closely packed, and no space is wasted. With this PCB technology, a "PCB sandwich" could be made by creating cavities in an FR4 PCB substrate and then stacking another PCB on top to form a lid, the “walls” formed by the cavities can be plated and then used as interconnects. This is similar to hollowing out the inside of a loaf of bread and then filling it with cheese & ingredients – or components in this case! Standard FR4 substrates A clever and smart PCB technology for the modern smartphone. Apple has been using Substrate-Like PCBs since the iPhone X and has been evolving and iterating it with every new iPhone release. It will be interesting to see how this concept is implemented now with the new iPhone 15, looking forward to seeing iFixit next teardown! #b3d #blender3d #geometrynodes #iPhone15Pro #iPhone15 #simulation #electronics #Engineering #hardware #Smartphones #science #kicad #altium #freecad #Eevee #pcbdesign #manufacturing #technology #artshow more

Hoskinson Says Cardano Can Change The World Cardano (Cardano... Community) $ADA founder Charles Hoskinson (Charles Hoskinson) says the blockchain has the potential to become the operating system for the world. He argued that Cardano is uniquely positioned to solve global trust issues through decentralization. Hoskinson cited Ouroboros, extended UTXO, partner chains, and governance as key advantages. He described global trust infrastructure as a multi trillion dollar problem Cardano aims to address. "When I look at the competitors, we're playing a different game than them. And that's why we're going to win," Hoskinson noted. "They're chasing the flavor of the week, the company of the week, the announcement of the week. And we want to change the world. We want the world to be a better place." The comments come amid ongoing debate about Cardano's future direction.show more

Want to reduce a LOT of the censorship in... Seedance 2.0? I’m going to show you a simple method that almost nobody is using — and it can completely change the results of your videos. Tutorial: First, ask ChatGPT to translate your entire prompt into the Tibetan language. Since it is a less common language in China, this can sometimes help bypass some of the censorship limitations. After that, use the translated prompt inside Seedance 2.0 to generate the video. This is exactly how the video shown above was created. To generate the videos, use Yapper . The recommendation is to create multiple videos at the same time — for example, generate 8 videos at once — to increase the chances of getting an even better result.show more

JUST IN: #Cardano $ADA Founder Charles Hoskinson says "we're... looking at Polkadot's JAM, and there is a path to Midnight integration if we so choose, given that we're on the Substrate infrastructure. We're definitely thinking about it, it's pretty fun and exciting."show more

INTRODUCING OCBTW: THE FIRST PANDA-BACKED ASSET A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND 2-WAY... NFT NFT SWAP We just deployed a smart contract on Bitcoin that allows you to mint "OCBTW", a limited edition generative art collection by tclow.sats, solely by swapping an Alkane Pandas ⬢ OCBTW has a supply of 200 unique pieces and is inspired by Oyl | Building Alkanes's signature hexagon logo that defines all native Alkane assets (e.g., $DIESEL). It is 100% on-chain generative art using three.js code via HTML ⬢ OCBTW can only be minted by swapping a Panda using the 2:70104 smart contract. After 200 swaps have been completed, on a first-come-first-served basis, the mint will conclude. However, OCBTW can be swapped back to a Panda at any time, freeing up supply for another Panda holder to collect a OCBTW piece from the contract. ⬢ OCBTW is thus backed entirely by Pandas, meaning each piece will never be worth less than a Panda. This is the first time on Bitcoin that an NFT is minted with another NFT. This may be the first time this has ever been done on any chain. ⬢ OCBTW also effectively locks up up to 200 Pandas for perpetuity. Just like AP-69, this swap contract has no withdrawal function. The only way to get Pandas out of the contract is to swap your OCBTW back to a Panda. This operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. ⬢ OCBTW can be minted by calling the 2:70104 contract using opcode 42 and including a Panda in the transaction, either by using or You can only mint 1 OCBTW per transaction. Rarity of Pandas has no effect on what OCBTW mint you will receive. ⬢ OCBTW can be viewed natively in browser on iDclub 💥 Building Alkanes at the following link: Please be patient after minting for their indexer to update after blocks clear. Please also note that the Ordiscan Alkanes indexer is currently down. ⬢ OCBTW is purely art. Art on Bitcoin. Forever.show more
