Rabby was the wallet I wanted to use. The simulator, the native DeFi tools, the way it got out of your way and let you use the chain. Then they dropped PulseChain support.
People kept using it anyway, half-broken, because nothing else came close. I thought about building a replacement. Honestly, I didn't want to.
I already run RPC nodes and data services for several PulseChain products, so the ops weren't the part that scared me. The moral weight of running a wallet itself was. People trust this kind of software to act consistently every time, and getting that wrong has different consequences than getting most other software wrong.
Then a well-known community member got drained. Using Rabby on PulseChain, in that half-broken state. The simulator was one of the things that stopped working when Rabby left. If it had still been alive that day, the malicious transaction would have flagged before signing. They would have seen the hack coming, and walked away.
I asked the obvious question: why are they still using Rabby? Other wallets objectively work better on PulseChain right now. Then I looked at my own Chrome extensions. Why am I still using Rabby too?
Because it's the wallet I want to use. The wallet I wish worked the way it did before.
Cappy is that fix. I am keeping everything that made Rabby good, and rebuilding the parts #PulseChain needs.
Anyone else notice a shift in the PulseChain community lately? Could the tide finally be turning?
Crypto Twitter is starting to engage more
Maybe this time really is different.
Shoutout to everyone putting in the hard work, it truly makes a difference. Let’s keep it up fam! 🔥
Enshittification is everywhere. Bandwidth and servers have never been cheaper and browsing the net has never sucked worse.
Go to a website? Blocked because VPN, or paywall or Cookies preferences popup. Content written by English as a 3rd language with AI. Can't browse shit captain.
Even our beloved X, @elonmusk. I can't see content because other people can't control their kids? When you bought X you said you'd have it show what was legal to show. Well man, ain't no law requiring me to show you my ID to see spicy tweets.
Insta? Can't see shit, gotta log in. Facebook? Same I think. Reddit, full ban cuz VPN. Installed chrome? You have to click no and search deeper to find more places to click no. Tracking out the ass. With dark patterns to make you think you clicked enough options, but I bet you didn't.
Wanna watch some vids online, well you got one good option, and they hate you. But sir, what about the couple tiny platforms where you can post vids and almost no one will ever see your content?
The net sucks worse than it did 20 years ago... For real.
One of the sadder things in crypto and elsewhere is when victims complain about being scammed, and get dozens of messages by other scammers saying they can recover the money. It's called reloading. I've tweeted about this and much more many times before, but people need reminding
We are trying to fill 15 volunteer spots daily! Nearly 24/7 for the next 3 months.
We provide meals, snacks, and positive vibes. It really is an amazing place to be to see and be a major part of everything going on.
Things you don’t see: The time and energy our team puts in. The connections and conversations our volunteers have. The emails we get from people wondering about the tablet.
Remember- most these recipients are not on X. They are making a larger impact than you can see right now and we’ve only got a fraction of them out the door!
The more volunteers the quicker they go.
Ethereum look. Sending out hundreds of thousands of devices is fun! The non profit needs volunteers in Murietta, California for the next 3 months, day and night, every day.
Direct chat link (not a group chat) with the awesome volunteer who manages who's showing up when.
