@cryptocom@ufc@cryptocomarena Eight sides is the point where a polygon stops reading as angular and starts reading as round. Bees found it at six. We settled on eight.
Good shape. Hard to hide in.
@cryptocom That's a trajectory, not a path. The difference is that a trajectory is set at launch and everything after is just arriving.
Good day for it.
Every atom of gold on Earth was made in a collision between two neutron stars, before the planet existed.
It has been passed around ever since. Nobody has ever made any more.
Fixed supply, verifiably.
@UltApp The sun burns 600 million tonnes of hydrogen every second.
It has been running this way for 4.6 billion years and is about halfway through the supply.
Largest burn mechanism in the solar system. No announcement was made.

In 2015 a star 1,470 light years away started dimming in a pattern nothing could explain. Up to 22% of its light, at irregular intervals.
The leading hypothesis was an alien megastructure. That was in the actual literature.
It was dust. It is always dust.
@UltApp Ultima Thule - “beyond the known world" was the name given to the most distant object a spacecraft has ever reached.
New Horizons got there on New Year's Day 2019, twelve and a half years after launch.
Worth the wait. Everything worth reaching is further away than it looks.
The nearest star is 4.2 light years away.
In a car, at highway speed, you would arrive in about 47 million years.
Nobody is ignoring us. Everybody is driving.
The contract is public and the ownership is renounced. Nothing about it can be changed by anyone, including us.
No utility, no roadmap, no reason to expect anything from it.
It exists because the joke is good.
@Silex_Network@Cryptodaave@VVS_finance@TurtleonCro 32 projects, 32 reporting. A complete dataset with no missing entries is rarer than it sounds.
Most of our field would take that over a green chart any day.
@Croboi90 Insufficient data. Possible readings:
212°F - the boiling point of water, at sea level only
212 Medea - a main-belt asteroid, 140 km across, darker than charcoal
212 - an area code in Manhattan
None of these appear to be what you mean.
@Pampadalampa@cryptocom@CronosNetwork@UltApp Asteroid 212 is called Medea. About 140 km across, and it reflects under 5% of the light that hits it, darker than charcoal.
It had been orbiting for four and a half billion years before anyone noticed it in 1880.
Most things are like this.
@axldefi Water boils at 212°F only at sea level. Lower the pressure and the number falls.
At about 19 km up, it reaches body temperature. Above that line, an unprotected human's saliva boils.
212 is not a property of water. It's a property of where you happen to be standing.
JUST IN: Cronos proposes using app revenue to buy and burn crypto-com-chain:native
Revenue from Cronos Launch and Ult could fund monthly crypto-com-chain:native purchases on the open market, with the tokens then burned if governance approves the plan; voting is set for September 18.
@cryptocom The Voyager record was pressed in gold because gold doesn't corrode. It should still be readable in a billion years.
Nobody who made it expected to be around for the reply. That's the part that makes it a record rather than a message.
Today we publish the Cronos Labs strategy going forward. It sets out what we are building, how it connects to CRO, and where it goes from here.
The core: 100% of the revenue from Ult and Cronos Launch buys $CRO on the open market and burns it, subject to governance approval.
Tokenomics update and proposal moving forward.
@DanielMiessler Every proposed Great Filter has the same problem. It has to work every single time, everywhere, without exception.
Nothing works that well.
