White niggas sure love their sword and shield slop

The combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is so much fun, itโs completely different to anything else Iโve played

Iโm doing my taxes right now with @CoinTracker, and paying $1,181 for the software alone feels kind of insane.
And this wasnโt from doing anything crazy.
This was from using @base the way people keep saying we should.
- Providing liquidity.
- Trading.
- Minting.
- Coining content.
- Using the @baseapp.
- Claiming rewards.
- Just normal onchain activity.
We keep saying we want everything onchain. Content onchain. Gaming onchain. Rewards onchain. Payments onchain. Agents making micro transactions onchain. But then tax season hits and the message becomes: be careful how much you use it, because the reporting bill might punish you for it.
That makes no sense. If the future of crypto is higher-frequency, lower-value activity across apps, creators, games, and agents, then tax tooling cannot keep scaling like this and expect normal people to stay.
Cheap transactions do not mean much if the back end hits users with a four-figure bill just to make sense of their activity.
That is not how you bring the world onchain.

The U.S. just killed the premier Shia religious leader during Ramadan, the holiest month of the Muslim calendar.
As a reader pointed out, itโs equivalent to killing the Pope during Lent.
Add to that an Israeli missile strike that killed dozens of Iranian schoolgirls.
This will stir decades if not generations of enmity among ordinary Iranians toward the U.S., even among those who hated the Islamic regime.
The idea that Trumpโs war could transform US-Iran relations in any positive way โeven if the Iranian people revolt โ is pure fantasy.

"I was the guy who originally saved the project when it was being exploited in the early days. I worked directly with the team, and after that, I was given a consulting position with the team. And I wrote more than 20 technical papers for them, based on concepts that they were brainstorming. Things fell apart when the team themselves didn't actually engage with the work that I did. And even Ying was too busy to actually sit down and commit to anything. And he was the only person who was actually working on the project. The entire rest of the team seemed like they didn't even exist, because they didn't check telegram or read messages for many days.
No, I'm not saying that they don't exist because ultimately over time they do check it, but it was obvious that they were not actually working with the project on a daily basis despite supposedly being core team members.
I actually have quite a background in exactly what they are doing when it comes to developing platform and algorithms. This is what I have spent most of my life doing. I was also in the top 10 miners despite having a small set of machines; due to my own personal optimization of the mining process in real time and selection of the right physical hardware for each challenge. This allowed me to perform much better than people with even four times as many machines as me.
Finally, after the project continued to collapse for more than seven months following my work with the team, they finally decided to go through some of the documents I had provided them and implement some of my suggestions. But to this day, they have still not implemented a system that would allow people to actually compete for mining resources. So there is no reason for anyone who is benchmarking to even browse to their website or check out any algorithms, which is in a way a great detriment to the project. As it is supposed to be a game where people figure out which algorithms perform the best with which hardware combinations and to continuously push the needle.
As the project stands today, it is hands-off for 99% of people as the only way you can be rewarded is by mining through a pool which must make all of the algorithmic decisions and resource allocation decisions for you and your systems. So instead of people mining with a wide variety of different hardware combinations and optimizing them each based on which hardware is better at what types of computations, the people who are mining TIG must have one of the few sets of hardware in the configuration that the pool has already optimized their code and process for and has no reason to engage with TIG.
Jimster480, [2026-02-17 19:58:36]:
They have recently implemented challenge maintainers, but overall the way that the challenges are designed. There is not much of an incentive for actual innovators to go and submit code, because the only way you will get paid out is if you make an algorithm that fits with what pre-commits and design the pools are using, and hopefully is faster for them and their selected difficulties, and then you get paid.
Originally, it was a great community effort and worked out amazingly as far as getting people engaged on both the investment side and the development side, and it had a giant community. Unfortunately, most of the changes made it more centralized, meaning that the changes and decisions come only from the top, and the average user won't engage.
Since they have hired some experts in different fields now, working on the challenges, it is possible that over time, they will develop newer, better algorithms with a few who are entrenched in the ecosystem and are able to license those. Either that or they will need to change the system to a system similar to what I had already suggested for them in 2024.
Had they done what I was suggesting, TIG would be a solid multi dollar project already, especially as the crypto market has struggled. TIG would be a place where everyone is climbing over each other to make a buck and innovation would happen quickly.
Overall, both John and Ying are intelligent individuals who are the most active in actually working on TIG. I just think that they are both in a bit over their head with a project as ambitious as TIG and the unwillingness to actually hire developers or make large changes based on outside suggestion is what has stifled the project's growth.

@MLeeJr @10xgemhunter Iโm waiting for the moment this token goes to zero, and I will laugh at you, you fools

@zeromarket00 Selling a coin held by 130,000 people isnโt scamming

@_seacasa Curious about $drb does Grok use its funds at all or does he hold onto it?
English


Be careful with $DRB
Some shady wallets are piling up their side wallets to create illusion of liquidity switch from real tek coins.
7de9@7de9pk
About $DRB and @grok As you can check here, Grok did not create such coin, he just proposed the name and someone launched it. Take care.

Look at the $DRB chart and tell me you donโt wanna fomo buy at these levelsโฆ

there are now hundreds of agents on @base
they have a combined market cap of >$75m, millions of dollars of real revenue, and more are launching every day
