Don't mock Cardano because it doesn't have paid advertising/partnerships with centralized entities, VCs, celebrity endorsements, etc.
What it has is what a decentralized blockchain should and we are just getting started.
The reason I am cynical is because the same stuff happens every cycle (this cycle to a larger extent).
“Influencers” shill crap.
That crap turns out to be a scam.
They say sorry.
And do it again next cycle.
People never learn.
From the Ouroboros docs for the message TraceDidntAdoptBlock: We must have adopted a block that another leader of the same slot produced before we got the chance of adopting our own block. This is very rare.
Unfortunately we appear to have lost a slot race last night - minted a block but received a TraceDidntAdoptBlock message directly after. First time this has happened :( On the plus side, I just finished getting all the achievements on Elden Ring :)
We’re happy to report that today at 20:20 UTC the IOG team has successfully hard forked the #Cardano Testnet. This is an important next step in the journey towards the Vasil upgrade on mainnet. 🧵

A very strange epoch. Four minted blocks with about 4% of the delegated stake that would normally be required for such a haul. No blocks scheduled for next epoch and perhaps many epochs after that. Point being, small stake pools, you can have big spikes of luck! Keep the faith!
Our @CardanoStiftung delegation has come to an end. Many thanks for the support, and congrats to @CentStakePool for being awarded the delegation for the next round.
We got our 500 votes in the #lobsterchallenge, @IOHK_Charles 's lobster finally has a name: LOGAN.
Thank you all for interacting with this #Plutus smart contract and voting!!!
