Charles Hoskinson sent cease and desist letters and mobilised as much political, commercial and legal leverage as he could to attack and threaten publications who had reported on the onchain discovery that he had unilaterally forked the chain in order to take control of funds, and covered it up so nobody knew what he had done, at the time - or post-fact.
And they didn’t like it. Even though he started spending tens of millions of dollars to buy Coindesk and others to make sure they talked positively about Midnight pre-launch, it’s his Trumpian behaviour they remembered.
So I’ve got little sympathy for those now complaining as these same publications rightfully bury him for yet another unhinged, but unnecessary, ego-driven, public crashout and gaslighting episode.
He’s been attacking them for a lot longer than he’s been paying them. And now it shows.

At the time, I mentioned that the beef with Whale wasn't about the stablecoin impact on price, but that Whale was seen as an impediment to IOG access to the treasury (and the stablecoin beef was a more palatable tool for attack). If there's one thing that will prompt attacks from Charles, its getting in between him and access to his ADA supply vehicles (treasury, parameter changes, etc)

hey charles, long time no see, congratulations on getting midnight launched!
since you're something of a mathematician, could you describe the volume chart below? find it incredibly fascinating.

🎭Confession of a Cardano "Ecosystem Strategist" Who Mastered the Game (and Never Shipped Anything Meaningful)
I’ve spent 7+ years “contributing” to Cardano without ever writing production Plutus code, auditing a serious smart contract, or...

You tend to go after people you disagree with, not based on merit, but by attacking their person/business.
Look at how you went after optim fi, merely for **staking** with someone you disagreed with.
All the while you pretend Cardano is decentralized.

Now that we have your attention:
Great news! We’ve reached the 2nd milestone of our “Designing an API for ZK-SNARK proof verification in Aiken” project, funded by Catalyst 13.
We added off-chain operations to Aiken that can be verified on-chain using ZK-SNARKs.
It also includes tooling to generate and validate proofs directly in your Aiken tests.
Watch the demo 👇
Also, there is no free beer, sorry.

Implementing an alternative #Cardano node isn't easy.
There are lots of little "gotchas" that can lead to a painful fork, if you're not careful.
Here's the story of one "gotcha" I ran into while working on @Amaru_Cardano and what we did about it 👇

Not enforcing canonical CBOR in Cardano is the root of all evil (or at least most of it).
The impact on developer experience and wasted debugging hours is massive.
Wishful thinking: we enforce canonical CBOR, but with a grace period where non-canonical txs pay extra fees.

WHAT happened on cardano is irrefutable.
(318m of UTxOs deleted, minted)
WHY it happened is more up for interpretation.
just keep in mind the perpetrators only bothered to come up with an explanation AFTER someone noticed cookies were missing from the cookie jar.

1/2 Few thoughts: since @InputOutputHK @emurgo_io @Cardano_CF received genesis $ADA their wallets should be public - this is transparency (it strenghtens ecosystem). Are those wallets public? Are financial reports available for what they used their ADA? Also @MidnightNtwrk 🧵👇

Calm heads please. We are still unlikely to enter WWIII. Trump’s cited aim of preventing nukes has been achieved by his account, so why would Netanyahu’s bombing campaign continue now? This move could force a divergence.
Trump’s misstep (targeted strikes on nuclear facilities with no casualties) is that he has tried to appease his Neo-cons with a calculated move that falls short of their demands (full war & regime change). If the neo-cons keep pushing war now, they will expose themselves to & diverge from him.
Denuclearisation is not regime change. What happens next is key. Peace is very much still possible & probable.
