GNP1 - Cardano SPO - supporting mental health

🚀 Welcome to GrahamsNumberPlus1 (GNP1) 🚀 Since October 2020, GNP1 has proudly operated as a distinguished Cardano stakepool, deeply committed to both the Cardano ecosystem and mental health. Over the years, we've contributed thousands of pounds to mental health charities and supported our community with giveaways, fee returns, and welcome rewards, even when running at a loss. Our mission is twofold: to provide a secure, reliable staking experience while promoting mental health awareness. We donate a significant portion of our earnings to mental health charities, with full transparency on our website. As part of our commitment, we maintain our pool fees at the minimum (allowable by the blockchain protocol) of 170 ADA with a 0% margin, ensuring our delegators receive maximum rewards. Additionally, we offer our community opportunities to earn ADA through discussions, games, and various tasks on our Discord. Explore our Stakepool tools on our website, and join us in making a positive impact within the Cardano ecosystem and beyond. Together, we can build a sustainable and supportive community. 🔗 Visit Our Website #Cardano #Stakepool #MentalHealth #GNP1 #CryptoCommunity

Another awful display by Liverpool yet again just after teasing us with a terrific win during the week - sigh ☹️

@Sssebi That's because even people that are quite technical and have been in crypto for years (like myself) still don't have a clue what 99% of cryptos actually have to offer - too much jargon - too much hype too much BS, too much copy and paste generic webpages and the list goes on....

The fact that Cardano is now top 11 and projects like Tron and Doge are still in the top 10 really says a lot about the average crypto holder. Soon people will realize that decentralization and security is more important than faster transactions and memecoins.

My followers seem to only go up when I am giving away ADA - and then they go down again when I stop - well from now on ADA only goes to genuine Cardano accounts 😎

@Glitchymagic Thank you

@GrahamsNoPlus1 Morning @GrahamsNoPlus1! And to you as well, hope your day is great! 😊

Good morning community - have a great day 😃

Has a 70K Bitcoin flipped from resistence to support now?

The simplest of things can be entertaining

@dog_head Yes but everything at the end of the day is how our consciousness percieves things - how can we possibly infer anthing with any degree of certaintly beyond our own perceptions

Ricky Gervais, David Baddiel & Professor Brian Cox - We Think Know What Happened BEFORE The BIG BANG!🤔💥

@fancy_disgrace You are welcome 👍

@GrahamsNoPlus1 We all might have needed you to win to secure the 5th spot next season given the collapses going around. Once it's locked in it's near impossible to lose it given your coefficient increases by default with an extra qualified team. Thanks I guess 😅

Where are all the Liverpool haters this morning ? 😎

@sue_gotcha Trouble with that is that when I wake up there may be nothing left 🤣

@GrahamsNoPlus1 Make it 6 years just to be safe 😅

I feel like going to bed and setting the alarm for 6 months time and maybe this shitshow will be over !!!

Do you pay for Office or do you use a free version ? - So tell us what you use ?

There is no ghost town on Cardano, it's a lively blockchain with ~120 million transactions, USDCx integration launched in the last month $14.4 million already minted, Layer Zero integration, ZK proofs demonstrable on Cardano L1 in the last week for privacy. Leios pushing towards a 1k TPS showcase. Lots of projects are continuing to chose Cardano. We do need more utility, but to call it a ghost chain is purely a non educated attack.

A single ant has 250,000 neurons and a human brain has 86 billion. Imagine what we could achieve if put aside all the differences and worked together as one.

I think it is a great example and highlights the many use cases in digital identify and supply chain management etc which is where Cardano should be focussing - but one of the biggest hurdles with real world cases is that you ultimately have to have a third party trusted entity to enter the system

@GrahamsNoPlus1 As mentioned this is a very basic example as a starting point to show its possible to validate on Cardano using smart contracts :) facial scanning, biometrics etc can be added to compliment this

Self Disclosure Privacy using ZK Proofs, Demonstrated & Executed Directly on Cardano Preview I built a demo where a customer buys a beer and proves they are 18 or over, without ever showing their ID. No name. No birth year. No photo. Just maths. Two beers were ordered. Two separate transactions. The same proof, reused, no re-verification needed. The blockchain recorded "age verified" both times. That's all it knows. No name. No address. No date of birth. No photo. No personal data of any kind. This runs entirely and directly on Cardano. No sidechains. No L2s. No off-chain verification. The ZK proof is checked by the Plutus V3 validator itself, on-chain, using Groth16. And this isn't just for bars, it works for shops, website signups, any age-restricted service. One credential, reused anywhere. Self disclosure means you choose what to share, and in this case, the customer chose to share nothing except "yes, I'm old enough, give me a nice cold beer." 🍺 Massive shout out to everybody involved in the below! Aiken smart contract language on Cardano (please don't judge my Aiken... I know it's bad 😂) ak-381 by Modulo-P, Groth16 SNARK verification library for BLS12-381 on Aiken Circom + snarkjs, ZK circuit design and proof generation MeshSDK, transaction building and wallet management Blockfrost, blockchain data provider A basic demo to set the stage for further privacy enhancements that can occur directly on Cardano. Self disclosure privacy on Cardano Cheers Cardano 🍻🍻 Beer 1 preview.cardanoscan.io/transaction/23… Beer 2 preview.cardanoscan.io/transaction/65…

I understand that the SEC and CFTC jointly issued official guidance (SEC Release 33-11412) that explicitly classifies Bitcoin, Cardano (ADA), and 14 other major cryptocurrencies ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, etc. as digital commodities. Yet we get red candles - someone tell why ???

@LaPetiteADA Great news - shame the market didn't see it that way - now down 4.25% today

GM, I just woke up to the HUGE news: ⚠️ BITCOIN AND CARDANO ARE COMMODITIES! But...What does it mean not to be a security? - Securities are like stocks or bonds. It has heavier rules and can’t be traded anywhere (regulated by the SEC). -Commodities are like digital gold or oil. You can trade it freely, and it's easier for institutions to invest (regulated by the CFTC). Why is this important? 👇 ✅ Exchanges can list them without SEC approval. ✅ More institutional adoption ✅ Being regulated by the CFTC gives a legal “safe zone.” ✅ Better and more liquidity ✅ Projects can build apps, DeFi, and futures without heavy SEC hurdles. History is happening in real time. Blink, and you'll miss the turning point. 🚀 Other cryptos considered commodities: $ETH, $XRP, $SOL, $BCH, $DOT, $AVAX, $LINK, $APT, $DOGE, $HBAR, $LTC, $SHIB, $XTZ, $XLM.
