What is this activity bonus? So I have been really busy at work and ended up logging into this site only today after a long time and I noticed something new here. I have to tell you I am quite impressed by the innovation that happens here at the speed of light on this social network. It seems like a new thing was introduced here which is called an activity bonus. Here is what it looks for me currently. So it looks like my account is eligible (not sure how that is determined…
Will read.cash users get Bitcoin ABC? So come November 15, it looks like the Bitcoin ABC will fork out of the main Bitcoin Cash project and although I haven't followed too much on this issue, it seems like there is a controversy over Bitcoin ABC keeping 8% of the block rewards from the Infrastructure Funding Plan (IFP) for themselves, whether it's the head of the project Amaury Sechet or for the whole project itself I am not sure but the point of this post was not to go into…
What happened to the read.cash fund?!?! I just logged in today morning to see something really unusual. The read.cash fund which typically hovers around the $200k mark just fell down to a mere $14.24! I think and really hope this maybe a bug in the software or maybe the funds are at an escrow somewhere and I really hope that this fund wasn't hacked or stolen! It may come back up to it's normal value sometime but just wanted to check if anyone knew what's going on here? I'll…

I have become very inspired by that and have decided to start preparation for this course. I have given myself about 2 months to prepare for the exam. I would have to spend an hour…
Is this the end of alts as we know it? If you’ve been around the crypto space in its late 2017 heyday you would know that a massive Bitcoin rally had always been followed up by a massive alt rally where the Bitcoin money would immediately squeeze into the alts. Although the times have changed and were not seeing the frenzy levels anywhere close to 2017 anymore and even the price seems to be moving very slowly comparatively, bitcoin has still managed to cross $13k and only…
Slow as hell! Go to mainnet already Voice and Reddit! There are some projects which are so exciting but at the same time are taking forever to go to mainnet. The two that I am really hoping will go to mainnet soon as Voice and r/CryptoCurrency MOONS and BRICKS tokens. Voice has made crypto news headlines when it purchased the voice.com domain from the now Bitcoin famous Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor who famously purchased close to $450 million for his company and his…
