A few weeks back I posted about a little experiment: a cryptocurrency that runs entirely inside a browser tab called BrowserCoin. Open a page, you're a full node. Mining is memory hard so a phone and a server farm have about the same odds. Bitcoin shaped rules, fully open source, no market, just a project to have fun with the technology. A lot of people tried it out, and I would like to recap what happened so far, because it was pretty interesting. A very important thing about this project: it's not selling anything. The coin was made to have fun with the technology. There is no market, you can't buy coins, you can't sell them. Coins exist because someone mined them. That's it. This is what the tool looks like these days: Browser Coin Landing Page Okay. What's happened, roughly in order: A wave of you showed up. The first post sent a ton of people in. At peak times there were 600+ people mining. People started building. Mini games, a faucet, mining pools, little tools and toys I had nothing to do with. Watching strangers build on something was very cool to see. Community made Projects Someone fixed my biggest weakness. In a browser you can't connect to peers by raw IP, so you need a couple of helper servers to introduce new tabs to the network, and I was running the defaults, which made me a soft point of failure for joining. A community member wrote a way better system: helpers are now discovered automatically, anyone can run one, no approval from me. They're just bootstrap hints. Your browser still validates every block locally, so a helper can't forge anything or touch your coins. That was the last slightly centralized bit, and it wasn't even me who killed it. Advertise Helper Server Feature It became more decentralized and way less killable by attacking a single server. The whole chain now backs itself up to a public repo every hour, re-verifying everything from scratch each time. If every server and tab vanished overnight, anyone could bring the network back in about fifteen minutes. Every clone is another permanent, verifiable copy. Quality of life. Faster wallet loading, a better block explorer, and a pop-out miner, a little floating window with live hashrate and CPU sliders so you can keep mining while you do other stuff. All cool features that were developed while the chain was up and running. I burned ~195k BRC (those were mined when it was mostly just me testing the chain, so I thought it made sense to burn them) to a dead address. Gone forever, no key exists, tagged in the explorer. The address is 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000dead, which is kinda fun. Top holder with burn Wallet People are still out here mining, and the next big challenge is doing the first hard fork. The next step is adding scripts. BrowserCoin now has a scripting engine: lock coins behind a secret and a key, a raw-script mode, a full opcode reference, and lock/redeem transactions decoded and explained in the explorer. Same chain, your balance and history carry straight over. It activates automatically off the chain's own clock on July 5, so every updated tab flips at the same block, just refresh before then. Scripting Countdown Banner Once scripts are added there's a lot of other cool stuff to experiment with. A network of strangers who don't trust each other agreeing on a shared ledger with no one in charge, using nothing but math and electricity, and now a community building games and faucets on top of it. Still the most fun thing I've made. No nonsense. So far it was very fun. No one lost anything, no one gained anything but knowledge. An experiment to have fun with the technology the way it should be. submitted by /u/swompythesecond [link] [Kommentare]

> Article except. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has given digital asset businesses another three months to apply for licenses required under its updated regulatory guidance. Australia's financial regulator said that the temporary protection from enforcement would remain in place until Sept. 30, pushed from the previous June 30 deadline. The extension applies to businesses seeking an Australian Financial Services (AFS) license, as well as companies that may require market or clearing and settlement authorizations. submitted by /u/zesushv [link] [Kommentare]

I recently took some losses in coin investing and came across Neville Goddard’s idea of “living in the end” As a developer I built a small app to help practice this idea in a structured way instead of just random affirmations I’m still experimenting with it and not claiming anything about whether it works or not If you’ve been going through a rough patch in investing, career, or life in general I’d really appreciate any feedback if you try it. https://apps.apple.com/us/iphone/search?term=Nevilly submitted by /u/MagarinePrince [link] [Kommentare]

Every crash is full of people saying "buy the dip." But when the candles are actually red, most people disappear. So let's be honest: 💰 Are you buying? 🟢 Already all in? ⏳ Waiting for lower prices? 🔴 Sold and staying out? No judgment—I'm just curious what everyone's real strategy is this time. submitted by /u/Present_Let2487 [link] [Kommentare]

Are we all in for a shock if we are no longer following the four year cycle ? I have a feeling it's going back up by the end of the year with altcoins pumping. submitted by /u/Electronic_Worker245 [link] [Kommentare]

I tried making this post on the crypto com subreddit, but the mods didn't approve it. I have USD on my crypto.com account that I can't seem to withdraw. I initially deposited USDC, but it converted to USD after sportsbetting. The only withdraw options I see are bank ach. I tried adding my banks, but both were rejected. I've not been able to find an email, chat, or phone number where a human can help me withdraw my money. Does anyone know of a way in which I can withdraw my money from crypto.com? Their AI is no help. submitted by /u/Delicious_Sample7291 [link] [Kommentare]
