"To keep a note valid and the Chiemgauer moving, holders must buy a small stamp every six months. The stamp for a 10-Chiemgauer note costs about €0.30 ($0.35), for example." Please read this thread. The fact that money can be, no, IS designed, is important for our understanding.
Introducing self-hosted Infura for BSV. On a $5 VPS.
Today the DXS team is shipping Consigliere 2.0 (alpha): we welcome testers to find bugs and try the brand-new UI (see video).
Every developer can now run their own instance on a $5 VPS and talk to the network directly.
Decentralized access to a decentralized network. → https://t.co/dpbp5YK5Rq
How does it work: Consigliere is based on a so-called thin BSV node.
It doesn't store the full chain. It connects straight to the network nodes over their own P2P protocol — a full participant, just lightweight.
Why that matters:
Before, broadcasting a tx or checking a balance meant interacting with API — WhatsOnChain, Bitails, JungleBus. Now you, as a developer or picky user, can talk to the network yourself. Providers stay only as a fallback and as independent witnesses for verification (see on video).
So every user reaches the network directly: broadcast, refresh balances, recover a wallet, read tx history — all on their own machine or a $5 VPS. No third-party services needed.
Under the hood: an indexer with a built-in light node: effectively a pruned node with no sync required.
Possible only on Bitcoin (BCH and BTC included).

Comes with full STAS 3.0 support @StasToken
@Brendan_Lee__@Devon_Eriksen_ Well he is pointing out that these test are often created by people that cannot comprehend the full possibility set of the correct answer(s). And the test is looking for the "most" obvious answer.
China has started giving every humanoid robots 29-character ID codes, with 28,000+ assigned so far.
The system works like a robot passport: each unit gets a code that records its country link, maker, model type, and individual serial identity.
The goal is not only paperwork, because humanoids are moving from demos into public roads, factories, homes, and service jobs where failures need clear responsibility.
A robot that falls, damages property, leaks data, or gets modified after sale becomes easier to trace when regulators can link the machine to its maker, seller, user, service history, and recycler.

About 70% of all wrench attacks... carried out in an attempt to steal digital assets, occur in France...
There have been 41 crypto-related kidnappings in France so far in 2026...
Nakamoto attributed the rise in wrench attacks to know-your-customer data collection...
90% of money created since 2000 was created by private banks. Not the government.
And between 1980 and 2000, the government was actually destroying money while monetarists were blaming it for inflation.
In my latest video, I show exactly how private debt acceleration drives asset price booms, how financial equity works like a seesaw that always tilts against the non-bank sector, and why the obsession with cutting government deficits is making all of this worse.
You'll find more details in the comment section.
