thotman ''''''' !!!!

@InputEndorsers Yhh I feel you. Tbh they didn’t listen to feedback well, we pointed out several issues with the platform which they don’t listen too

@thotman__ There are other factors at play too. Like personality and team. The proof is in the pudding. It didn’t work out. Maybe Cardano infrastructure is still too hard to build on - for complex systems. I didn’t have faith in that team. They just seemed too cocky.

Where are the finance experts? (Not “let’s copy this from Eth”), but real finance experts

@thotman__ @regirock8080 @SebastienGllmt I don’t think this comment will ever be beaten, you’ve gone down in Cardano history

@JaromirTesar @RodrigoPacini If you owned a restaurant and nobody was coming in to eat, would you spend all your money upgrading the kitchen so meals could be cooked faster? Or would you first ask why nobody wants to eat there?

How much ADA from NCL should be invested in infrastructure and operations (Intersect) this year?

@ADAFrog_Pool @jrv97_velazquez They know this, they just want to keep them selves employed

most problems people are poising to solve on Cardano today are equivalent to bragging about treating acne on a terminally ill cancer patient

@masatoalexander @shaggyrax They are incentived to do a half job, or they can’t apply for a second round of funding if the job is done

cardano is the only chain where the cost per Tx based on FE allocation doesn't monotonically decrease over time. the other chains FEs funding was front-loaded, and they have to survive off those allocations. cardano does less, with more, and continues to charge for it.

was it worth it? the development cost per Tx, calculated from funding raised + tokens allocated to founding entities. cardano: $79.25/Tx ethereum: $7.89/Tx solana: $0.25/Tx methodology explained in graphic, if you spot any errors in the data lmk, made in a few min with claude.

@mac_gully @ESCOweb3 @CSWAP_Destroy No there’s a few of them that control the narrative and Phil is one of them. What ever Phil says esco and the others run with, then the community listens to them. But tell me please why we need more programming languages, he is promoting when there are max 50 devs building here?

@thotman__ @ESCOweb3 @CSWAP_Destroy So let me get this straight. Phil is the herd? You use one man as "the herd"? I guess you've heard every conversation they've ever had. Anyways, people build reputations and Esco has a long standing one of being able to stand alone in a room full of people he disagrees with.

Shout out @CSWAP_Destroy for the courage to stand up to the circle jerk crew. Shame on @ESCOweb3 for shaming any one who speaks against the herd

@mac_gully @ESCOweb3 @CSWAP_Destroy Remember ? What u on about? And what I said stands, I’ve never seen esco disagree with Phil once… and not every listener wants to come on live chat… did whale ever come on a space ? Only reason I’m replying to you is because esco has me blocked.

@ESCOweb3 @thotman__ @CSWAP_Destroy Plus it's funny that he's accusing you of going with the herd. He must not remember

@InputEndorsers @MLabs10 We need to fight back on these technical proposals until we have some users. These proposals are just to keep devs employed

Is anyone using the @MLabs10 Pisa fees implementation of Babel fees on Cardano? The cost was half a million Ada.

@SebastienGllmt Was it recorded ?

Thanks to everyone who joined the Starstream/Nightstream AMA in the Midnight Discord! Great to see how excited everybody is about our work. Thanks to everyone who joined the Starstream working group after the call as well! Looking forward to working together with many of you!

@jonahkoch @YetAnotherAiGuy @maureenyam Tell me one thing being used by Michelle in production ? Is he the best guy to build that ? And further more there are less than a thousand people using cardano monthly

@YetAnotherAiGuy @maureenyam @thotman__ I would have expected an understanding of the many benefits having a node in the browser would have afforded developers and UI/UX for the end user, benefits of building DApp full stack to the node in single language is also of great benefits, is just added value provided

It's 2:00 am and I'm making a tweet instead of sleeping. You know who else was awake? The entire Cardano community, refreshing governance dashboards, waiting for a proposal they believed in to pass. It failed by 0.22%. One entity. That's all it took. The same entity holding over 100m in voting power, also currently asking the community to approve almost 9m ada for a Summit in Singapore looked at a proposal with overwhelming community support and said "no." Not because the team is bad or the work wasn't needed. Because...wait for it..bundling. Bundling. Let that word marinate for a second. This is the same @Cardano_CF that submitted a Summit proposal bundled together with a TOKEN2049 sponsorship managed by an entirely separate legal entity, EMURGO, with its own budget, its own vendor contract, its own delivery team, and its own milestone structure. Two organizations. One governance action. Zero self-awareness whatsoever. But Pebble and Gerolamo is tooo bundled and we just cant have that. lol I want to be fair. CF's governance notes show genuine concerns about personnel allocation and delivery clarity. Those are legitimate governance questions. I respect that. But here is the problem with having legitimate concerns while your own house is on fire.. nobody can hear you over the smoke alarm. This isn't the first time either. Last year, CF and EMURGO stood against the Discover Cardano proposal. The community pushed it through anyway. Now we're here again. Fred Gregaard has said repeatedly that CF has some time to fulfill their mandate and then cease to exist. I am wondering now, what is that mandate exactly? Is it to act as a veto player to single-handedly flip community outcomes? The community was awake at because we believe in this blockchain. We deserve a foundation that believes in us back. Signed, - A disgruntled DRep who should really be asleep right now. 😪

@MichaelSmoIO @clarkalesna @IOGroup Sounds like a bunch of keep me employed to run experiments talk to me

Yes, some teams have attempted to build smart-contract-based approaches to fee abstraction, and that work informed our research. When we evaluated the trade-offs, these smart-contract designs came with UX compromises — things like collateral requirements, oracle dependencies, or needing to interact through an intermediary app. This design takes a different approach by building on Nested Transactions, a new ledger primitive. That gives us an open, permissionless standard at the protocol level — not tied to any single team's contracts — which puts Cardano in a much stronger position long term.

Babel fees is coming, we as a community need to support @IOGroup If you want Cardano to succeed you know what to do 🫡

@IOGroup @sharan_konerira if midgard labs has capacity to help you with this, then why are they not delivering midgard on time ?

A full L2 stack for Cardano. Led by @sharan_konerira & Midgard Labs: → L2-agnostic infrastructure → Hydra production hardening → Midgard optimistic rollup Together: a complete scaling strategy for high-performance apps. Watch the video below & read the full proposal: momentum.cardano.iog.io/proposals/l2-s…

@CryptoSA99 @butaneprotocol and guys like phil and lucas were cheering for them all along. the same ones telling you to vote for the harmonic labs proposals

The last tx on @butaneprotocol was 60 days ago. They've made 20$ profit since going live in 2025 but stole 10m $ada and millions of $night. $BTN

@InputEndorsers And get Phil to talk about them in a twitter space and say how revolutionary they are because every one follows him blindly

Now submit 30 more infrastructure proposals

@CryptoSA99 @pogun_io All these scammers just like working for them self with no boss and want us to fund it. In no world can big pey do any marketing…..

If you want to see $ada at 0.15 cents, -Vote yes on 13m @pogun_io with no guarantees on return on investment. -Vote yes on Hotel David and Big Pey and crew wanting 1.2m $ada for 12 months marketing to the same Twitter people.

@janilom81 Nothing but half baked products, the new lace wallet is trash.

And just like that, another billionaire gets to control the narrative while crying "fake news". If Cardano doesn't grow some balls soon. IOG will keep putting out half baked products and continue sucking the rest of the treasury dry. What do I know though, 9 years of investing in the ecosystem and Chuck just thinks of me as a bag holder.🤷‍♂️

@Madkingk9 @lace_io All this money and this is the result

Still not working @lace_io
