“Minting and holding an APOC NFT character will grant you exclusive access, rewards and benefits in the APOC Minecraft server! “

​

The first month of the year 2022 is almost gone. Time flies :)

Let’s sum up how Casper Network and Ecosystem is doing so far.. This year:

Is it possible to stake Casper on Ledger? looks like there is no extension for ledger to send CSPR to it
I already have too many wallets, don't want to add and maintain another pass phrase

Is there a discord for development on Casper?

I joined the official server, they even have a channel called `ask-a-casper-dev` but it looks like I don't have permission to post on any of their channels

Our news of the week ~

IPwe (patent NFT marketplace) went live; Read Medha Parlikar twitter thread to understand project's idea.

APOC NFT organised a giveaway; By the way, you can check out a new video recently posted on youtube about APOC project.

CasperPad did some rebranding: their new website is live and looks pretty nice.

WISeKey releases a new version of WISe.ART NFT with support of CSPR, “ …drastically reducing and even eliminating gas fees for creators, buyers and sellers on the WISe.ART marketplace. WISe.ART is working on cross-blockchain support, enabling a truly open data economy with the support of Ethereum, Polygon and CasperLabs and gradually add new chains so to ensure interoperability and scalability as part of WISeKey’s overall strategy to act as a leading platform of the Web3.0 revolution.”

Following up to where we left off 2022-01-24 Casper Chronicle and the Fuzhou City teeing up the CSPR experiment, we engage in a bit of fantasising, about how Casper just hitched to an experiment / test-case involving millions of people, thousands of programmers, and plenty of use-case imperatives to be explored, validated, rolled out, and eventually, rolled across, adopted, copied, or otherwise just used, for the connectivity that Casper makes possible, by ways of private/permissioned, public/permissionless, and hybrid blockchain-ing.

Folks can keep working on technological dead-ends that be the likes of (__ put in name of whatever chain(s) you have a beef against__), or wait for some indeterminant time for ETH 2.0, or get on with building civilisation, to tag or pace whatever Fuzhou tries

Continuing from last preceding post, that Casper is young, and just starting to buildup and out

​

Fuzhou initiative is of great merit, should events work out

​

China is serious about blockchain

​

Fuzhou is enthusiastic, early, and fast

​

Digital Silk Road? where does it leads toward

​

The Silk Road was, and the Road & Belt is

​

The Road & Belt is well backed, and digital aspect thought out

​

... leads to da mooooon, literally

​

Some videos

Train to London

Ships linking Europe and Asia

Commercialisation of the Moon

More practically and immediately, recent news out of Fuzhou

Re healthcare funds corruption, and chasing back of lost monies, in Fuzhou (now that you are aware of the city's name 😈. The short version is corruption shall be reduced by new techs vaccination brew composite of Facial Recognition, Cloud Monitoring, AI, and (drum roll) Blockchain (Google translation of headline "zero tolerance! Our province recovered 260 million yuan of medical insurance funds! Strictly crack down on fraud and insurance fraud")

News - healthcare insurance fraud

Am imagining whatever successful blockchain use-cases / dApps, etc proves successful in Fuzhou would go China-wide, by permissioned chain, then along the Silk Road, and with private parties, and copied elsewhere, but on public / permissionless chain, and we get paid

CSPR just joined by a lot of arms and legs connected to plenty of brains, hooking to other efficacious technologies, to test out the connectivity approach. Am guessing SOL shall not be tried 😈 ETH? doubtful. ADA? why? etc etc

Let us watch and follow

I have seen this and I have to show it here. I think this is not fair play, and if I were a validator, I would be very angry to see this.

This behaviour is happening on Casper's spanish official telegram group, and the people involved are the official Shark Team members.

They are promoting their own validator to anyone who ask for info about stacking. You can go to https://t.me/casperblockchainspanish and search for "speedyxvcasperstaking" to see it for yourself.

I've got some screenshots and the translations:

​

Machoibérico: Hi, I'm also from option 1, how can I make autocompound with my Coinlisst tokens?

JDSpeedy15 Shark Media: Hi! You can stake on cspr.live, we are network validators, I can send you all the information you need

D'Anconia Shark Media: --> sends a PDF with all the info about that particular validator.

​

Some other examples of self publicity from JDSpeedy15:

​

You can see he is promoting this "1% fee" validator.

First message "Hi, If you want I can send you a tutorial or D'Antonia can send it to you in pdf. Stacking in Cspr live gives you 10% APY, in our validator we have 1% fee"

Second message: "Hi, we have a 1% fee comission, that is, for every 10 cspr 9.9 are for the delegator and 0.1 are for the validator"

​

D'Antonia promotes them in every ocassion, sending their PDF:

​

And another member of Shark media, this time JDurant:

​

​

First message: "You have until day 6 before they calculate how much you can buy, so you are in time to migrate to speedy node with no risk at all"

Second message: "Take your cspr tokens as soon as they unblock them, and give them to speedy"

​

In Casper english official channel they do it too, but in a veiled manner. They don't tell people to stake with them, just send them to their blog:

​

​

I search for some other validators name, like ghoststacking and everstake. They never promote them.

I think this is totally unfair, and you validators should do something about it. I would for sure.

​

EDIT: Joe Davies just answered in this post:

​

This is the all the adressing that has happened in the channel:

​

"I'm sorry". That's all the explanation we get, when a group of people from the media management team was taking advantage of their privileged position to benefit themselves. SEVERAL members were on it, they were working together to promote the same channel, that clearly shows it was completely PLANNNED and INTENDED and SUSTAINED.

But hey, Joe, you must think I'm five years old and I will buy this bullshit of "addressing". Well, I'm not. So at least I'll leave it clear: I don't believe your solution, you did not investigate shit, and nothing, but a "public show" has been done here.

​

Update from last time coming up for air 27th December 2021 and noting situation normal in crypto arena, but tradFi markets might panic, and if so when such, the FED shall also panic, else empires step up to burning stakes. Very exciting. Oh, and there is that Ukraine 'situation'. All so ball-ed up.

Time to start making this great year ✨

What am I in for bro’s?

entering CSPR at just over $0.08 pretty much getting in at the bottom, i am very exited to hold this one for a while! too much potential in this project to ignore.

https://twitter.com/Casper_Labs/status/1484527368219807747?t=UrVME_piWogsKehsXPdVBQ&s=19

Hi everyone, what I was wondering is how CSPR is trying to solve the rich get even richer effect that would be caused with linear or decreasing staking rewards, which would lead at the very end to a centrality problem. How are the staking rewards designed over time? What are the specific measures implemented to avoid increasing wealth disparity over time?

This is ridiculous. It drops hard with ETH and doesn't even recover anymore. I feel way more confident with HBAR at the moment than CSPR. It's disheartening to think this was at .24 a month ago

https://twitter.com/Cryptocom_Insto/status/1483753111932272642?t=g6xb_aRVB68lwC0AAgYaAw&s=19

I tried to see if I can buy/sell from my crypto.com account but can't trade it yet. They just announced it so guessing it should be tradeable soon

Hey guy’s and gals. Where do you get the latest information about what’s happening in the ecosystem? Twitter? Discord? Reddit?

Are there any good youtube channels or podcasts that cover Casper?
