Happy New Year! All the best to you, your friends and family!

[ADAO @ADAOcommunity]

📯 #CardanoCommunity #ADAO is pleased to announce the first Mainnet transaction using “RoundTable” — ADAO’s new multisig wallet Dapp!!! This achievement would not be possible without the tireless efforts of ADAO contributors. ❤️🎉

Happy New Year! All the best to you, your friends and family!

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

The culmination of four+ years of hard work by the @IOG_Eng team. Smart contracts on a major blockchain, written in #haskell!!

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

Plus a little video of it happening, for good measure

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

And here are the first three minted tokens using the factory...

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

Just minted three NFTs using a Plutus script token factory on #Cardano

We have programmatic minting of NFTs! @IOHK_Charles @IOHKMedia

@MusicianVishal @amw7 @rom1_pellerin Yes, as @amw7 says, stake weighting is just one "heuristic" that will be used to identify preferred peers (under the assumption that more stake is likely to equate to better onwards connectivity from that peer) - the algorithm is, however, evidence-based

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

@amw7 @MusicianVishal @rom1_pellerin The goal is to produce a resilient, decentralised and adaptive Cardano network structure that will maintain itself, seek out the best connections, and adapt as the network changes

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

@amw7 @MusicianVishal @rom1_pellerin The network will self-organise to give the best opportunities for propagation. If you detect a better quality connection through exchange with peer nodes, then that will be automatically used in future, for example.

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

@amw7 @MusicianVishal @rom1_pellerin Yes, proof of stake applies, so the chance of block production is independent of the network structure

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

@nitros @InputOutputHK @IOG_Eng @Cardano No, it's about automatically maintaining the connections between decentralised nodes in the blockchain (so making sure the network is robust, reliable, and self-sustaining)

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

@ADASRN1 @InputOutputHK @IOG_Eng @Cardano Yes, that's right - the network will discover and maintain itself

[Kevin Hammond @khstandrews]

@PaulKlammer1 @benohanlon @carolintaling @theSavaSavic Yes, as @benohanlon says, this is something that we are very aware of and are working on. For now, the best approach is probably to ensure that token holders prepay deposit costs before tokens are issued. Think of it as like paying for a transport smart card

Happy New Year! All the best to you, your friends and family!

My category theory notes are finally up there! (https://t.co/TXEvlaTYJe) I'm quite proud of the intuitive explanations of the Yoneda lemma, I really tried to do my best.

[Troels Henriksen [email protected] @sigkill_dk]

Finished our newly reworked course on Parallel Functional Programming. Maybe the material can be useful to others as well: https://t.co/82gvQtmTWN

@Adaizen_com @Wiiinnie @InputOutputHK Odd. Have you tried using jcli directly?

[Satnam Singh @satnam6502]

The 6502 was hugely influential on my career: note that my GMail address is satnam6502@gmail and I am satnam6502 on Twitter. So I was sad to hear about the recent passing of Chuck Peddle, who I never knew, but I do owe him a lot of gratitude.
