@pythaginboots after 2nd such pass by the goalie, what could one expect until the end of the game, pro football player that does such mistake within few minutes - his head was somewhere else...

@Justin_Bons what's the point to execute the same TX on production when it caused the issue on the testnet, unless its malicious actor/intend?

Unpopular opinion: Cardano did not go down last week!
Most users were unable to use ADA for close to 14 hours due to third-party services shutting down
Yet, despite a chain split, it was still possible to transact
Therefore, ADA did not go "down", even if this was terrible: 🧵
This incident was almost as bad as it gets, yet no one lost funds & at worst were only delayed, as even the most basic blockchains are incredibly resilient!
All because human beings are a part of that machine:
Coordination Not Centralization:
Coordination among validators during a crisis is not centralization; it is people fighting to preserve the network they love. As they are a part of that system!
Blockchains are not mindless & autonomous machines; they are "cyborgs", as they are also made up of people
The ADA validator community came together to solve this problem. Exactly as BTC, ETH, SOL & countless other chains have also done during times of crisis
That does not imply that the chain in question is therefore centralized...
No Downtime:
I waited for the excellent post-mortem by @Quantumplation before commenting, so I suggest you read that if you are interested in the technical details. I realized straight away when reading it that I cannot, in all fairness, call this "downtime"
In large part, because I also did not consider the issues SOL was having at the start of the year due to QUIC networking issues to be a form of "downtime" either. If blocks are being produced & it is still possible for advanced users to submit TXs, then the chain is not "down"!
Consistency & Intellectual Honesty:
As a crypto researcher, I value consistency highly; it is one of the core aspects required for solid rationality & reasoning. You might think I am wrong about a bunch of things, but I am no hypocrite. Intellectual honesty matters & I am not in the business of peddling inaccuracies for the sake of views
In that vein, this was not "vibe coded" by a teenager either... The individual responsible is an ADA community member who is deeply regretful of his actions & he has apologized publicly
FBI Involvement:
The fact that Charles Hoskinson (ADA's founder) called the FBI on him is disgusting. If anything, they should give him a bug bounty... (I am being facetious here, as he did not disclose this responsibly)
Nonetheless, calling the authorities & possibly pressing charges for this absolutely goes against the crypto ethos. Which instead should value permissionless innovation & not make the actions of engineers exploring the technology illegal...
Humility:
I wish that some parts of the ADA community would get off their high horse about the reality of validator coordination & the unknown unknowns we inevitably encounter with experimental blockchain tech
I almost joined in on the ridicule to help drive that lesson home. I admit, I wish I could have said "ADA went down", purely for the poetic justice
Despite this incident arguably being worse from a user perspective than the chain going "down" & recovering in under an hr...
Given how some popular semantics are currently being used within the ADA community. The positive, humbling effect that would otherwise have been so healthy for the ADA community has been severely mitigated as a consequence of this "semantic propoganda game"
As the lesson here should have been: Humility! 🕊
Unfortunately, certain individuals have managed to spin that lesson in the opposite direction, framing it as a victory, when, in blockchain terms, this was still a disaster
One aspect of a truly decentralized blockchain is that you cannot decide who gets to be part of your chain, & that ultimately, it does not matter. So, we should also not read too much into the out-of-control egos of tribalistic individuals
Conclusion:
Validator coordination in response to a major bug is a normal aspect of how blockchains function
We can choose to live in a fantasy or in reality. We must understand what a blockchain is, not only what we want it to be:
The inevitability of bugs is a part of this; proportional to innovation & usage. The more innovative & novel a blockchain is, the more likely bugs will occur
The same is also true for usage, which can expose unknown unknowns that even the best engineers might not have considered
BTC had a considerably worse bug in 2010 that also resulted in a chain split. With one side maliciously printing billions of new BTC! Nothing like that happened here & BTC still survived. So ADA will be fine
I want ADA to succeed & I am grateful the bug was not worse & that no major losses occurred
Overall, ADA has a great community that values decentralization. The validators handled the crisis well, showing off their relative maturity
Blockchains are anti-fragile. That means this incident has only made ADA stronger in the process! 💪

here is how to steal any ad/image legally
open gemini, create 'Vision-to-JSON' Gem
find any image/ad you like,
copy it, paste it into the gem, hit enter.
JSON keeps every detail intact way better than natural-language summaries.
now tweak the json chatting with Gemini using natural language:
- make the product bigger
- swap the background to a kitchen
- add a founder handoff moment
whatever you want, you get an updated JSON.
copy the updated json and open a fresh Gemini chat
paste the JSON code and generate image using NB Pro.
you’ve now rebuilt the ad from scratch with a fully editable blueprint
want this 'SWIPE File' with same copy/paste method?
comment "GEM" to get it,
(must be following to get the DM)

Whenever something unexpected happens, the usual rumours and hot takes start flying. Let’s ground everything in clear facts instead of noise.
Yes, this was a serious incident. But the network demonstrated its resilience, stayed online, and the ecosystem responded with speed and professionalism.
And importantly, this wasn’t a random “vibe coder” accident: it was a deliberately crafted transaction by a technically knowledgeable individual.
Here are the myths vs facts everyone should know 🧵

This Instagram Reels AI agent is absolutely wild 🤯
It scrapes trending Reels in your niche, analyzes them with AI, and extracts every creative insight you need.
All inside n8n + Airtable.
Perfect for DTC brands & agencies who need to know what's working on Instagram before they create content.
Here's the problem:
Manual Instagram research takes forever.
You're scrolling for hours, screenshotting videos, manually noting hooks, trying to remember what worked.
And by the time you act on it, the trend is dead.
This n8n automation solves it:
→ Enter a keyword (e.g., "skincare", "fitness", "productivity")
→ AI scrapes trending Instagram Reels automatically
→ Writes all videos to Airtable with views, likes, comments
→ Click "Analyze Video" button in Airtable
→ Gemini watches each video and extracts: Hook, Proof Point, Theme
→ Click "Analyze Comments" for instant comment insights
No manual scrolling. No spreadsheets. No missing trends.
What you get in Airtable:
→ Video URL, creator handle, performance metrics
→ AI-extracted hooks (what stopped the scroll)
→ Proof points (what built credibility)
→ Creative themes (the narrative structure)
→ Comment insights (what the audience is asking)
Built 100% in n8n.
Want the complete n8n template + Airtable base?

"The pledges on security assurances that [we] have given these three nations…underscore our commitment to the independence, the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of these states,” then US President Bill Clinton said in Budapest on 5th of December 1994. when Ukraine joined Belarus and Kazakhstan in giving up their nuclear arsenals in return for security guarantees from the United States, the UK, France, China and Russia. So I guess guarantee expired.

Behind the tough guy language, there is no argument here. What's the firepower advantage of the respective parties to the conflict? Manpower? How might that change with further NATO action, and how are you proposing to change it?
As it turns out, I'm right and Joshi is wrong, though maybe he believes the underlying dynamics *could* change in the future. He's welcome to make that argument.

@Antonio385742 @TapTools bro Cardano has over 3000 validation nodes, in contrast, Solana hosts approximately 1000 nodes. So don't believe everything you read online.
