Cardano Exploring Privacy Features That Power Zcash, Says Charles Hoskinson
Cardano is exploring zero-knowledge proofs, which allow transactions to be authenticated without divulging any of the personal information of either the sender or receiver.

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Did they announce any specific dates for POS release date because i have been waiting for the update from the team? Recently they released a video about the POS for the ADA where we can stake the coin in mobile wallets and how long we have to wait for these developments.

This is definitely a nice achievement!





Sneakers meet the blockchain in New Balance shoe authenticity pilot

https://siliconangle.com/2019/10/17/sneakers-meet-blockchain-new-balance-pilot-shoe-authenticity/

This is platitudinous technique to pump sneaker sells. Nothing to see here. Blockchain dumbchain Ya know what I think about this effort? Poor marketing campaign to captivate ur imbecilic brain My abhorrence is so heavily concentrated that its fragmentation into pellets starts to affect emotional state of other people around me. Explosiveness of my anger could be a peril danger to whatever is around.

*Feels like an angry version of William Shakespeare is still alive!*

Not sure why you feel this bad; this is a fine partnership and New Balance ain't a small thing. They wanted to authenticate their shoes on a blockchain, and using Cardano, they'll be able to do so.

What's so wrong with this?

People who don't have an interest in the projects will always bother about whatever the company does. We shouldn't consider this trolling person because these people will always talk negatively about the company and their activity. I think the team is doing very accurate things in the background this will definitely get more exposure for the Cardano coin in the coming days.

A couple of nice announcements:


-COTI + ADA:

Following our announcement of Cardano's 'pay with ada' gateway for merchants, COTI has opened merchant applications for companies wishing to accept adaPay as a means of payment in their online stores. If you are interested, please send an email to adapay@coti.io

-Daedalus 0.15 release:

NEW Daedalus 0.15 – part of the #Cardano 1.7 update – is now rolling out. Here's a preview. Be sure to check out the full-length video for a rundown of all the updates and new features - including the newsfeed function https://buff.ly/31Ze3K3

Hi, after syncing  v.014 Daedalus has proposed me to upgrade to next version of the wallet and Cardano by selecting one of  two options. I have choose "Postpone after restart" but after restarting encountered  the error in updating. That error says something like updater cann't open one of the exe file for writing. What should I do and how can I properly  update Daedalus from the  scratch?

[naska21]

Solved my problem by following. First I have restarted the computer. Then launched Daedalus. As it was expected the old v.014 launched and after syncing it asked again to choose option  for upgrade.  Again "postpone .." has been selected but this time after closing Daedalus I didn't launched it but restarted my PC. After restart I have launched Daedalus and this time update to new v.015 went without a hitch. Hope that would help to anyone who might encounter the problem with updating. BTW, anyone knows when the snapshot will happen?

[Raja_MBZ]

Charles' AMA is coming up in the next few hours - I predict that he'll announce the snapshot date in it!

Not at all, on second thought I just figured out that some background process prevent the executive file from being modified. So above mentioned  solution came to me almost instantly.

Yup! He announced it:

Does it mean that we should  soon expect to witness  the  next version of Daedalus capable to work with testnet and having  new feature that will allow  ADA kept in wallet take part in  staking?

Yes, that's correct!

You'll be able to download the testnet wallets when available after the first snapshot.

So... we got a new hard fork of Cardano (ADA)? Nice to have one, TBH!

Cardano Gold is not associated with us in any way. It is infringing on our trademark and violating our registered TM. Cardano Gold’s use of our trademark is illegal and we urge you to beware of this scam.

Or is it not a fork?


It's Yoroi's 1st birthday and a newer version of it is released today:

This update fixes connection issue with Ledger devices on Windows 10 and adds clear steps on how to use Ledger with Yoroi!

Yeah, a lot of wows in 0.15 but would be great if the next Daedalus version add the ability to work with Ledger  nano s. Ledger Live has no native app to work with ADA and my device is anxious to witness that feature in Daedalus.

OK, so we've got the first snapshot date finalized, finally:

Balance check snapshot will be taken on November 12 at 12.00 UTC!

This will only be a testing snapshot to ensure that the upcoming, the 2nd snapshot (the actual one) for the incentivized testnet will be bug-free. So even if you miss this one, you'll NOT lose the chance to participate in the incentivized testnet.

 Would like to clarify for myself , one can move his ADA from exchanges to,  say, Daedalus after first testing snapshot and that coins will be eligible for the final snapshot, right?
