    Wow! Absurd! TRON's "paper" is mostly copied from other projects, or is super basic p2p passed off as original. Zero references. Archived that PDF in IPFS, in case they take it down: ipfs.io/ipfs/QmWh3LEWU…

    Aaaaaahahaha it’s not enough to fork all our code, rebrand it and lie its theirs; copy paste random chunks of our papers, and defraud their investors with a nonsensical mishmash. Tron also can’t even think of an original logo 🤯🤣

    For those of us in Web3 — remember what our tech is for: To protect human rights in our modern, computer mediated world. To shield people from despots, aggression, attacks, and abuse. To coordinate, to grow, and to prosper together. 4/

    This is huge! @opera becomes the first major web browser to add ipfs:// and ipns:// resolution support by default! Major milestone for ipfs, web3, internet decentralization. ipfs://QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco ipns://jbenet.eth ipns://surprise4you.eth

    Great to see that people truly interested in the success and mission of a project ask how they can help, how they can get involved.

    FTX-hosted NFTs break after website is redirected to a restructuring page After FTX declared bankruptcy, the entire FTX.us domain was redirected to a page providing information on the bankruptcy proceedings. However, NFTs that had been minted on the FTX platform relied on metadata from an API at that domain, meaning that the NFTs are now pointing to broken links. Owners of these NFTs can still see that the NFT exists, but images no longer work—even when viewing the NFTs in their own wallets, or when listing them for sale on other platforms. Other projects that rely on the FTX NFT platform's API, such as the Coachella NFT project, also broke: the Coachella NFT platform shows 0 NFTs in existence. Those NFTs are still show up where they are listed on external NFT platforms, although the images and metadata are broken.
