I've seen "lunar calendars" that show the year divided by Gregorian months (slicing the lunar cycles oddly), but not the other way around. So I made one! https://observablehq.com/d/af965f24c17b16e5
In doing so, I realized Nov 2024 is pretty special; it aligns perfectly to the lunar cycle 🌑🌓🌕🌗 Neat!
Did you know all #MoonCats have an
#ENS domain they can claim, to always point to their current owner? Check it out by heading over to the MCNS tool https://mooncatrescue.com/mcns, click "Jump to your own address", and then the "Pending" tab.
Click a MoonCat (or several!) and then the "Announce" button. Your wallet will prompt you for a signature.
Once that confirms, the "Announced" tab will show all the subdomains now pointing at your address.
Are you a hipster who has been in #Ethereum so long you've forgotten some of the first projects you played with? Let's check and see if you have some #MoonCats from the MoonCatRescue project waiting for you:
Start by heading over to https://mooncatrescue.com to board ChainStation Alpha. On ChainStation, click the "Connect" button, and it will change into your address. Click your address to go to your own Owner Profile page. Do you have a "MoonCats Rescued" section?
Bitcoin is in the news again, following a recent Executive Order about a national reserve of Bitcoin being established. If you're curious or confused about #Bitcoin, #cryptocurrencies, or #blockchain technology in general, feel free to drop a comment and I'll do my best to help out!
As a software developer I've been active in the cryptocurrency space since 2012, and have done several #educational presentations on it to local groups, so I have some deep experience with it I'd be happy to share.
@CryptoNewsLttr are there other gold-backed (or silver-backed) tokens besides #Paxos #PAXG and #Tether #XAUt that you think are worth looking into?
What's your favorite (stable, least-likely to de-peg) inflation-resistant (e.g. CPI-adjusted) #stablecoin (#flatcoin)? I've seen mention of FPI (FRAX) and SPOT (Ampleforth); any others should I look into? 🤔
@beitmenotyou_com This seems like an overly-generic take on NFTs? While there are sections for multiple different industries it seems the key features you emphasize of #NFTs are just repeats.
You call out receiving secondary market royalties multiple times, but that is not an intrinsic part of "NFTs" but rather the marketplaces/platforms that currently support them (note how OpenSea has changed whether or not it enforces royalty payments multiple times).
I've been a "#games advocate" for several of the remote teams that I've been on, and as such I've had experience with several means of "having fun as a group" when parts of the group are remote. I've compiled the ones that I've found to be most fun and useful into a #guide:

If your remote groups have grown more distant, maybe you can find something #fun to do in there!
