SOL plunged by nearly 10% when social mentions of the asset skyrocketed on FTX’s liquidation plan SOL regained some sense of steadiness at press time Despite their evolving technology and growing utility, crypto-assets are still heavily influenced by speculation and social media-induced FUD. The quintessential illustration of this theory could be Solana [SOL], the tenth-largest digital asset by market cap. Is your portfolio green? Check out the SOL Profit Calculator Solana highly sensitive to FUD An on-chain analyst who goes by the pseudonym Emperor Osmo took to social platform X to draw attention to the strong correlation between negative social commentary on SOL and the subsequent impact on its price. It is intriguing to observe the correlation between social media-induced FUD regarding $SOL and its impact on price performance. pic.twitter.com/AR4ZYgJqLD — Emperor Osmo🧪 (@Flowslikeosmo) September 17, 2023 The most recent example that comes to mind is the FUD surrounding FTX’s upcoming liquidation plan. The bankrupt exchange got court approval to sell its assets, a vast majority of which is held in SOL. Holders are concerned that the market might be flooded with SOL coins in the near future, resulting in a strong downward pressure on its value. The attached graph highlights how SOL plunged by nearly 10% as social mentions of the asset skyrocketed. This, despite the plan having adequate safeguards in place, such as placing a cap on the weekly liquidation value. Blast from the past The association with FTX brought misery to SOL in the past as well. The stunning collapse of the exchange in the fall of 2022 brought down the market with it. SOL, on the other hand, sustained significantly more damage as a result of FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s backing and investments in several of Solana’s projects. Source: LunarCrush In this case too, SOL’s social mentions surged to new heights with prices following in the opposite direction, as indicated by LunarCrush’s data. Solana’s history is also marred by periodic network disruptions. These have eroded its relative advantages in speed and efficiency. Earlier in February, Solana suffered a major outage which lasted nearly 20 hours. The glitch birthed another series of negative commentary around SOL. Words like ‘concern’ and ‘outage’ were frequently used in tandem with SOL in that phase. Realistic or not, here’s SOL’s market cap in BTC’s terms Will SOL ride out the storm? It was therefore expected and evident that a surge in social activity was invariably followed by a drop in SOL’s value. However, as far as the most recent case is concerned, the FUD appeared to be subsiding at press time. In fact, SOL was up by 4.26% on the 7-day chart, with the 24-hour price action noting some appreciation too. Source

As top cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH have been experiencing fresh gusts of buy pressure lately, so too have more than a few NFT collections both new and old been fielding considerable activity inflows. While collections in the Bored Ape ecosystem proper have dominated the weekly volume charts for the past month, this week had a bit more variety with CryptoPunks, Checks, and a KID called BEAST coming in as the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th most-traded collections respectively. The big stunner has been Checks, which cost the equivalent of $8 to mint last month and has now seen its floor price surge to well over Ξ1 ETH a pop. For the second week in a row OpenSea has maintained a significant trading volume lead over Blur, whose $BLUR token launch is now less than a fortnight away. Is anticipation of the long-awaited airdrop running out of steam, or should we expect Blur to receive a second wind once its native token is live? Only time will tell! There have been more monster BAYC and ‘Punk sales in recent days per usual at the top of the NFT economy. Considered together the three transactions below amounted to over Ξ1,160, suggesting that demand for top-shelf NFTs is doing just fine right now.  NFTfi (the specific lending protocol, not the general category) facilitated a 40,000 USDC loan against 32 goblintown.wtf NFTs. Sudoswap launched $SUDO governance. With the Canto NFT ecosystem on the rise, some new collections on the young appchain have been getting some serious love.

Stepgridhedge new features

Make it possible to override buy/sell enabled when using 'use trend'. And added a bunch of options to better suit advanced trading styles. Minimum step up pct To overrule automatic step size. Setting 1 means that a step up is set to 1% of price, unless auto step size is already higher than 1%. Minimum step down pct To overrule automatic step size. Setting 1 means that a step down is set to 1% of price, unless auto step size is already higher than 1%. Minimum step asymmetric When enabled, min step size (either up or down) is only applied in the dca direction of the currently smallest position. Example: if short position is smaller than long position, then 'min step up pct' is applied to steps up, while 'min step down pct' is not applied to steps down. Instant open threshold Long Behavior of 'always in position' trading is to immediately start trailing for a new position after completely closing one. When set to 50, the short side starts always in position trading when a long position is more than 50x TL in size. Cannot be used together with enforce step size. Instant open threshold Short The behavior of 'always in position' trading is to immediately start trailing for a new position after completely closing one. When set to 50, the long side starts always in position trading when the short position is more than 50x TL in size. Cannot be used together with enforce step size.

Personalize order arrow colors.

Ability to change the default color for the buy/sell arrows in your chart. click profile - various - select the hex color.

New strategy Stepgrid Scalp.

This strategy is the next iteration of stepgridhybrid and its trend module, trying to find a balance between scalping (quick, small trades with high probabilities of winning) and grid trading (DCA in more or less predictable steps). The trend module used in this strategy builds on several existing concepts but is entirely new and now it's able to use different timeframes depending the type of market bullish, bearish or sideways using a refined trend algo. So it will post order inside the grid when market is sideways or bullish, if the market turn bearish or crypto winter it will start posting orders at support levels in the large timeframe you did configure it. When the price it's at support it will be able to place support orders with the increased trading amounts depending on your configuration. This way the strategy narrow the price between your entry price and the actual market price. This is how i configure the stepGrid Scalp strategy in the actual market, we could say a bearish market or almost crypto winter ofc in our scene everything can change in a matter of seconds so with gunbot it's easier to be ahead of the market, and follow price action, remember emotionless trading. Basically, I use pretty much the default config, it should work great, anyhow considering the actual market those are the values I'm using, DYOR and test other options and share yours in our Elite room in telegram.

I find the strategy really good, but consider that certain market structures can slowdown your trading, it can take long time to re-enter the market if it detects bearish . You can see in my gunbot demo site (binance exchange only runs under stepgrid scalp) how this strategy performs and what's the main differences vs the other most used grid strategy stepgrid hybrid.

add an option to copy pair settings to all pairs with the same assigned strategy.

Fixes and finetuning of gunbot core

- Fix OKX market buy orders. - Fix OKX/okGunbot telegram notifications charts link. - Fix for Bittrex market orders. - Fix the problem that didn't show parts of console logs (like a console error) in the GUI debug logs. - Fix problem with PNL calculation on OKX with market order that filled in several parts. - Trading settings: fix several conditions that could crash the page. - Fix the issue in GUI API key validation that could let invalid keys get verified. - Setup page: fix a problem that prevented entering exchange delay > the 60s.

Masque of the Red Death (permalink)

Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Masque of the Red Death" in 1842. It's about a plutocrat who throws a masked ball in his walled abbey during a plague with the intention of cheating death.

https://www.poemuseum.org/the-masque-of-the-red-death

My novella "The Masque of the Red Death" is a tribute to Poe; it's from my book Radicalized. It's the story of a plute who brings his pals to his luxury bunker during civlizational collapse in the expectation of emerging once others have rebuilt.

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250242334

Naturally, they assume that when they do emerge, once their social inferiors have rebooted civilization, that their incredible finance-brains, their assault rifles, and their USBs full of BtC will allow them to command a harem and live a perpetual Frazetta-painting future.

And naturally – to anyone who's read Poe – it doesn't work out for them. They discover that humanity has a shared microbial destiny and that you can't shoot germs. That every catastrophe must be answered with solidarity, not selfishness, if it is to be survived.

Like my story When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth, the Masque of the Red Death has been on a lot of people's minds lately, especially since this Guardian story of plutes fleeing to their luxury bunkers was published. Hundreds of you have sent me this.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/11/disease-dodging-worried-wealthy-jet-off-to-disaster-bunkers

I got the message. Yesterday, I asked my agent to see if Macmillan Audio would let me publish the audiobook of my Masque of the Red Death for free. They said yes, and asked me to remind you that the audiobook of Radicalized (which includes Masque) is available for your delectation.

I hope you'll check out the whole book. Radicalized was named one of the @WSJ's best books of 2019, and it's a finalist for Canada Reads, the national book prize. It's currently on every Canadian national bestseller list.

There's one hitch, though: Audible won't sell it to you. They don't sell ANY of my work, because I don't allow DRM on it, because I believe that you should not have to lock my audiobooks to Amazon's platform in order to enjoy them.

Instead, you can buy the audio from sellers like libro.fm, Downpour.com, and Google Play. Or you can get it direct from me. No DRM, no license agreement. Just "you bought it, you own it."

https://craphound.com/shop/

And here's the free Macmillan Audio edition of Masque of the Red Death, read with spine-chilling menace by the incredible Stefan Rudnicki, with a special intro from me, freshly mastered by John Taylor Williams. I hope it gives you some comfort.

Ada Palmer on historical and modern censorship (permalink)

My EFF colleague Jillian C York's latest project is Speaking Freely, a series of interviews with people about free expression and the internet, including what Neil Gaiman memorably called "icky speech."

http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/12/why-defend-freedom-of-icky-speech.html

The latest interview subject is the incomparable Ada Palmer: historian, sf writer, musician, and co-host of last year's U Chicago seminar series on "systems of information control during information revolutions," which I co-taught with her. Ada's interview synthesizes her historian's distance from the subject ("yes, this is my subject, and these people are terrible, and it's kind of fun in that way") with her perspective as a writer and advocate for free speech.

"One of the victims of censorship is the future capacity to tell histories of the period when censorship happened….. It renders that historical record unreliable… makes it easier for people to make claims you can't refute using historical sources… It's similar to how we see people invalidating things now—like 'that climate study wasn't really valid because it got funding from a leftist political group"—they're invalidating the material by claiming that there has to be insincerity its development.

"Pretty much every censoring operation post-printing press recognizes that it isn't possible to track down and destroy every copy of a thing…An Inquisition book burning was the ceremonial burning of one copy. The Inquisition kept examples of all of the books they banned."

Fascinating perspecting on whether nongovernmental action can really be called "censorship."

"The Inquisition wasn't the state – it was a private org like to Doctors Without Borders or Unicef, run by private orgs like the Dominicans and it often competed with the state." As she points out, everything the Inquisition did would be fine alongside the First Amendment, because it was entirely private action.

Next, Palmer talks about market concentration and how it abets this kind of private censorship. This is something I've written a lot about, see for example:

https://locusmag.com/2020/01/cory-doctorow-inaction-is-a-form-of-action/

"If you have a plural set of voices, then you're always going to have some spaces where things can be said, just like you have a plurality of printers printing books, and some will only print orthodox things and some will only print radical ones."

And while the internet could afford many venues for speech, in practice a concentrated internet makes is plausible to accomplish the censor's never-realized dream: "You can make a program that can hunt down every instance of a particular phrase and erase it."

Tiny architectural choices make big differences here ("Architecture is politics" -Mitch Kapor). Amazon can update your Kindle books without your permission, Kobo can't. Amazon could delete every instance of a book on Kindles, but Kobo would need cooperation from its customers.

Palmer is just the latest subject of Jillian's series. You can read many other amazing interviews here:

When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth (permalink)

Over the past two weeks, hundreds of people have written to me to draw comparisons between the pandemic emergency and my 2005 story "When Sysamins Ruled the Earth" – an apocalyptic tale of network administrators who survive a civilizational collapse.

https://craphound.com/overclocked/Cory_Doctorow_-Overclocked-_When_Sysadmins_Ruled_the_Earth.html

I started writing this story in the teacher's quarters at the Clarion Workshop, which was then hosted at MSU. It was July 6, 2005. I know the date because the next day was 7/7, when bombs went off across London, blowing up the tube train my wife normally rode to work. The attacks also took out the bus I normally rode to my office. My wife was late to work because I was in Michigan, so she slept in. It probably saved her life. I couldn't work on this story for a long time after.

Eventually, I finished it and sold it to Eric Flint for Baen's Universe magazine. It's been widely reprinted and adapted, including as a comic:

https://archive.org/details/CoryDoctorowsFuturisticTalesOfTheHereAndNow/mode/2up

I read this for my podcast 15 years ago, too, but the quality is terrible. The more I thought about it, the more I thought I should do a new reading. So I did, and John Taylor Williams mastered it overnight and now it's live.

https://craphound.com/podcast/2020/03/13/when-sysadmins-ruled-the-earth-2/

There's a soliloquy in this where the protagonist reads a part of John Perry Barlow's Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace. Rather than read it myself for the podcast, I ganked some of Barlow's own 2015 reading, which is fucking magnificent.

https://vimeo.com/111576518

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this. I've spent a lot of imaginary time inhabiting various apocalypses, driven (I think) by my grandmother's horrific stories of being inducted into the civil defense corps during the Siege of Leningrad, which began when she was 12.

Glitch workers unionize (permalink)

The staff of Glitch have formed a union. It seems to be the first-ever white-collar tech-workers' union to have formed without any objections from management (bravo, Anil Dash!).

https://cwa-union.org/news/releases/tech-workers-app-developer-glitch-vote-form-union-and-join-cwa-organizing-initiative

The workers organized under the Communications Workers of America, which has been organizing tech shops through their Campaign to Organize Digital Employees.

https://www.code-cwa.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIovDRsc-S6AIVCuDICh0rFQCMEAAYASAAEgJb1PD_BwE

"We appreciate that unlike so many employers, the Glitch management team decided to respect the rights of its workforce to choose union representation without fear or coercion."

Women of Imagineering (permalink)

Next October, Disney will publish "Women of Imagineering: 12 Careers, 12 Theme Parks, Countless Stories," a 384-page history of a dozen pioneering woman Imagineers.

https://thedisneyblog.com/2020/03/13/new-book-highlights-stories-from-the-women-of-walt-disney-imagineering/

Featured are Elisabete Erlandson, Julie Svendsen, Maggie Elliott, Peggy Fariss, Paula Dinkel, Karen Connolly Armitage, Katie Olson, Becky Bishop, Tori Atencio, Lynne Macer Rhodes, Kathy Rogers, and Pam Rank.

When I worked at Imagineering, the smartest, most talented, most impressive staff I knew were women (like Sara Thacher!). It's amazing to see the women of the organization get some long-overdue recognition.

Tachyon celebrates 30 years of sff publishing with a Humble Bundle (permalink)

For 30 years, @TachyonPub has been publishing outstanding science fiction, including a wide range of stuff that's too weird or marginal for the Big 5 publishers, like collections of essays and collections.

https://tachyonpublications.com/

Now, they've teamed up with Humble Bundle to celebrate their 30th with a huge pay-what-you-like bundle that benefits EFF. There are so many great books in this bundle!

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/celebrating-25-years-scifi-fantasy-from-tachyon-books

Like Bruce Sterling's Pirate Utopia, Eileen Gunn's Stable Strategies, and books by Michael Moorcock, Thomas Disch, Jo Walton, Jane Yolen, Nick Mamatas, Kameron Hurley, Lauren Beukes, Lavie Tidhar and so many more!

I curated the very first Humble Ebook Bundle and I've followed all the ones since. This one is fucking amazeballs. Run, don't walk.

Honest Government Ads, Covid-19 edition (permalink)

Good political satire is hard, but @thejuicemedia's "Honest Government Ads" are consistently brilliant.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKRw8GAAtm27q4R3Q0kst_g

The latest is, of course, Covi9-19 themed. It is funny, trenchant, and puts the blame exactly where it belongs.

TSA lifts liquid bans, telcos lift data caps (permalink)

Your ISP is likely to lift its data-caps in the next day or two. @ATT and @comcast already did.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/v74qzb/atandt-suspends-broadband-usage-caps-during-coronavirus-crisis

And TSA has decided that 12 ounces of any liquid labelled "hand sanitizer" is safe for aviation, irrespective of what's in the bottle.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/13/21179120/tsa-hand-sanitizer-liquid-size-airport-screening-coronavirus-covid-19

What do these two facts have in common? Obviously, it's that the official narrative for things that impose enormous financial costs on Americans, and dramatically lower their quality of lives, were based on lies. These lies have been obvious from the start. The liquid ban, for example, is based on a plot that never worked (making binary explosives in airport bathroom sinks from liquids) and seems unlikely to ever have worked, according to organic chemists.

Keeping your "piranha bath" near 0' C for a protracted period in the bathroom toilet is some varsity-level terrorism, and the penalty for failure is that you maim or blind yourself with acid spatter.

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/08/on_the_implausi.html

And even if you stipulate that the risk is real, it's been obvious for 14 years that multiple 3oz bottles of Bad Liquid could be recombined beyond the checkpoint to do whatever it is liquids do at 3.0001oz.The liquid ban isn't just an inconvenience. It's not even just a burden on travelers who've collectively spent billions to re-purchase drinks and toiletries. It's a huge health burden to people with disabilities who rely on constant access to liquids.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m12mLXgO1A

And as we knew all along, the liquid ban was a nonsense, an authoritarian response to a cack-handed, improbable terror plot. It embodies the "security syllogism":

Something must be done. There, I've done something.

Think of all those checkpoints where all confiscated liquids were dumped into a giant barrel and mingled together: if liquids posed an existential threat to planes, they'd dispose of them like they were C4, not filtered water. No one believed in the liquid threat, ever. TSA can relax the restrictions and allow 12oz of anything labeled as hand-san through the checkpoints. There was no reason to confiscate liquids in the first place. But don't expect them to admit this. The implicit message of the change is "Pandemics make liquids safe."

Now onto data-caps. Like the liquid ban, data-caps have imposed a tremendous cost on Americans. In addition to the hundreds of millions in monopoly rents extracted from the nation by telcos through overage charges, these caps also shut many out of the digital world. They represent a regressive tax on information, one that falls worst upon the most underserved in the nation: people in poor and rural places, for whom online access is a gateway to civic and political life, family connection, employment and education.

We were told that we had to tolerate these caps because of the "tragedy of the commons," a fraudulent idea from economics that says that shared resources are destroyed through selfish overuse, based on no data or evidence.

https://thebaffler.com/latest/first-as-tragedy-then-as-fascism-amend

(By contrast, actual commons are a super-efficient way of managing resources)

https://www.onthecommons.org/magazine/elinor-ostroms-8-principles-managing-commmons

Telcos insisted that if they didn't throttle and gouge us, their networks would become unusable – but really, what they meant is that if they didn't throttle and gouge us, the windfall to their shareholders would decline.

What's more likely: that pandemics make network management tools so efficient that data-caps become obsolete, or that they were a shuck and a ripoff from day one, enabled by a hyper-concentrated industry of monopolists with cozy relationships with corrupt regulators?

So yeah, maybe this is the moment that kills Security Theater and data-caps.

CBC postpones Canada Reads debates (permalink)

The folks at the @CBC have postponed next week's televised Canada Reads debates, so we're going to have to wait a while to find out who wins the national book prize.

https://www.cbc.ca/books/canada-reads-2020-postponed-1.5497678

Obviously, this is a bummer, though equally obviously, it's a relatively small consequence of this ghastly circumstance.

And on the bright side, the CBC have just released a ton of excerpts from the nominees:

Star Wars firepits (permalink)

West Coast Firepits went viral when they produced a Death Star firepit, though of course, I lusted after their Tiki Firepit.

But now they're really leaning into the Star Wars themed pits, with an Interceptor pit ($2500):

Or, if you prefer a post-apocalyptic version, there's a Crashed Interceptor pit, also $2500.

If those prices seem high, consider that they're hand-made onshore, and contain 750lbs of 1/4" and 1/8" steel.

Currently writing: I've just finished rewrites on a short story, "The Canadian Miracle," for MIT Tech Review. It's a story set in the world of my next novel, "The Lost Cause," a post-GND novel about truth and reconciliation. I've also just completed "Baby Twitter," a piece of design fiction also set in The Lost Cause's prehistory, for a British think-tank. I'm getting geared up to start work on the novel next.

Currently reading: Just started Lauren Beukes's forthcoming Afterland: it's Y the Last Man plus plus, and two chapters in, it's amazeballs. Last month, I finished Andrea Bernstein's "American Oligarchs"; it's a magnificent history of the Kushner and Trump families, showing how they cheated, stole and lied their way into power. I'm getting really into Anna Weiner's memoir about tech, "Uncanny Valley." I just loaded Matt Stoller's "Goliath" onto my underwater MP3 player and I'm listening to it as I swim laps.

CoinMarketCap Glitch Sends Bitcoin Wallet Balances Into the Trillions

Imagine going to bed with a few thousand dollars’ worth of coins and tokens in your crypto wallet. You pour your coffee, grab your phone, and open up to find your balance has ballooned into the billions.

No, SafeMoon didn’t finally moon. Mongoose Coin didn’t swallow Cobra Coin. And Shiba Inu didn’t rally by fifty decimals. It’s just some bad data. 

The proximate source of the incorrect data is CoinMarketCap, one of the top crypto price data providers. According to CoinMarketCap, a single Bitcoin today blew well past the $50,000 resistance to become worth $799 billion. Ethereum now goes for $43 billion. Thanks, EIP-1559!

Trust Wallet, which relies on CoinMarketCap for price data, was one of the affected products. Though coin and token balances appeared correctly in user balances, their dollar values did not.

Trust Wallet wasn’t alone. Exodus numbers also showed incorrect dollar balances. Even Coinbase was affected; it uses CoinMarketCap figures to display values of assets it doesn’t list, such as XRP.

CoinMarketCap has not yet responded to Decrypt‘s request for more information about whether the error was the result of a glitch or hack. It did tweet a short acknowledgement of the issue: “The Engineering team is aware of incorrect price information appearing on https://ift.tt/rbCcka4. We are currently investigating and will update this status when we have more information.”

Though the data was incorrect, it may have contributed to a real stall in the crypto market recovery that was underway—if users rushed to cash out before taking a closer look. After dropping to $46,600 yesterday, BTC prices shot up today to just under $48,700. Indeed, prices are mostly flat over the last hour, since the error was discovered. 

This isn’t the first time crypto users have seen incorrect balances. In May, crypto lender BlockFi accidentally credited 100 users with Bitcoin that didn’t belong to them; one person said they had received 700 BTC, worth $34 million at today’s prices, or 500 kajillion if you’re looking at CoinMarketCap. It then asked users to return the funds and even threatened legal action at someone who withdrew.

The Bitcoin (BTC) market looks lukewarm as it heads towards the end of 2021.

With only fifteen days remaining, the Bitcoin predictions are here again. This time it’s –…

EASY WAY FOR BITCOIN  MINING

CryptoTab Browser brings you a unique opportunity to make money out of web-surfing. It’s literally passive income: you just scroll sites, chat on social media and watch YouTube while the money’s flowing into your wallet. But how does one maximize his or her income, if there are no actions to perform, no goals to achieve?

Be consistent

Set CryptoTab as a default browser, leave its window open and active when you’re away from the computer, use reminders so you never forget to activate mining after a pause. That’s the first step to getting the max out of CryptoTab. Wanna mine a lot? Mine on a daily basis!

Use the speed slider

Yeah, that little thing on the CryptoTab dashboard — do not underestimate its power! If you’re experiencing freezes, glitches, and low overall performance while mining — just try to adjust the speed! It could make a big difference so you can proceed with mining at a lower speed instead of turning it off completely.

Develop your network

Solo mining can bring you a nice piece of BTC, but the most effective way to earn in CryptoTab is not mining itself. Big, well-developed mining network could reward you with hundreds and thousands of dollars monthly. All you need to possess a network of a big size is to attract as many referrals as you can.
