“On October 16, 1870, two mountain men were dispatched into the wilderness that would soon become Yellowstone National Park to find a missing and presumed dead man. They found who they were looking for, but to their surprise he was still alive.” Excerpt From The Rocinante in Wonderland Jeff Groff Keep reading ⬇️ a.co/d/0j0rE0r1

📖 Tokenizing uranium was the first step. The harder part: who can hold it, where it trades, and what you can do with it. Custody. Exchange access. Lending. @TezosCommons on what comes after tokenization ↓ spotlight.tezos.com/what-com…

You can still use convection and conduction to dissipate heat internally. The rate of heat transfer via radiation is proportional to the temperature of the radiator to the fourth power. The radiator can be kept at a higher temperature than the internals using a heat pump. The radiator can also be made larger which also increased heat transfer into space. I was a skeptic at first because the radiators need to be large but I am convinced now that it can work and it will work.
My respect for Elon Musk has mostly vanished, but I still thought that at least he is a good engineer (Teslas are great cars). But that last bit also got a blow after hearing him say that it is easier to "cool things down" in space. The opposite is true. A vacuum is the best possible isolator. In space you can only dissipate heat through radiation. It is extremely unlikely these data centers in space will ever happen (and certainly not in our lifetimes).

"decentralized finance"
Replying to @aave
As a continued precaution, USDT, USDC, USDT0, POL, WAVAX, sAVAX, XAUT, PAXG, and OP will temporarily remain at an LTV of 0 so they can’t be used as collateral for new borrows.

This is so cyber punk. Such a pure expression of the crypto ethos.

Nothing’s more decentralized finance than freezing crypto assets and rolling back ledgers.
might be a dumb question to ask, but i'll ask anyway.. after freezing the stolen USDT, does it mean it sits forever in the hacker's wallet, or there is a way the transaction can be reversed to return the frozen funds back to the owner?

Nothing says decentralized finance like Tether, Circle, and others freezing billions of dollars in assets.

The bots spamming the QuipuSwap V1 pools pushed contract calls to over 2 million yesterday. Did anyone notice the network slowdown or fail to include transactions? It seems that Tezos is handling the load just fine. 😎
⚠️ Security Alert for our users! We strongly recommend withdrawing liquidity from legacy QuipuSwap V1 pools, particularly tzBTC/TEZ, wWBTC/TEZ and BTCtz/TEZ, due to potential security risks. 🔐 Other legacy V1 pools also use outdated contracts that cannot be upgraded. We

I’ve been adding tezos:native during this long cold winter we find ourselves in. Coverted the last of my Sirius tokens today. Tezio Bakery is now a top 100 validator. Top 80 as measured by own stake. Ready for winter to end. 🚀 🙏
