First Basis note transferred off the grid. We need for some more testing. Then doing blueprints for use cases like African villages. Another direction is agent-2-agent interactions with credit expansion on top of human-provided base smart money. P2P money for humans & agents

Watcher operators, we kindly request you to update your watcher-service to version [6.2.0](github.com/rosen-bridge/w…). This version fixes a minor security bug and you should unlock all of your permits and collateral via the action section in your watcher dashboard and wait for all permits to be unlocked. DO NOT UPDATE YOUR WATCHER BEFORE UNLOCKING YOUR COLLATERAL. ‼️Make sure to follow the instruction for this update. Without following the instruction, your watcher will certainly miss all events onward and receive no reward. ‼️ ## 1. Unlock your permits and collateral Head to Watcher Dashboard -> Unlock, set the Api-key and unlock all of your RSN. Wait till the transaction is mined. Then dashboard will show 0/0 _Total Locked RSN_ and 0/0 _Total Reports_ and the health will be broken (due to `No WID is available for this address`). > Note that you need at least 2 WIDs to unlock your permits and collateral! ## 2. Update your watcher Pull the latest docker image, stop and then start your watcher: - docker compose pull - docker compose down - docker compose up -d ## 3. Lock your permits Head again to Watcher Dashboard -> Lock, set the Api-key and lock your RSN. Wait till the transaction is mined. Then dashboard should show the _Total Locked RSN_ and _Total Reports_ correctly and watcher should be healthy. > Note that the transaction should be displayed in the explorer after ~5 minutes! > In case you get Error code 400, just try again after ~30 minutes! 📢 If you encounter any issues, please report them in: 🔗 [Discord troubleshooting Channel](discord.com/channels/11493…) ❗ Security Reminder: Do not respond to direct messages (DMs). Our team will never contact you via DM. Stay alert for potential scams.

today, dreps will fund another infrastructure project with 8,000,000 ADA. and it will not bring anything to cardano again and again you guys try to fix things by "improving infrastructure". this is not a problem anymore. i can tell you coz I have been building here for 5 years and built the most user-intensive and fast dapp in the space. check @snekdotfun, it works like your cex or any solana dapp the real problem, dear dreps, is lack of onboarding tools for our dapp to onboard at least some of the web3 audience. and hence a lack of users in the ecosystem. at least we need to have phantom wallet integration another real problem is the global cardano brand perception. u know everything about that p.s. nothing against harmonic labs. i don't know any of them personally but i hope they are here for good. i also hope that they will manage to use coding agents to ship everything they promised within 2 months and have fun.

VLAD HOSTS THE BEST PODCAST IN BITCOIN
Been running qwen3.6 35b locally on my Mac Studio It’s amazing, I would dare to say that it matches Claude Opus With only 2 prompts and roughly 10 minutes of typing, I was able to vibe code a Space Invaders clone that’s customized for my website. Still needs fine tuning, but I gotta say that I’m pretty impressed!

For years, most of Ergo community did push, happily, for fully (on chain contracts, offchain logic, ui) open sourced financial tooling. It now pays out with agents being able to operate with and create new tooling easily.
