All the choices available in zero-slashing, zero or low risk, incentivized consensus on #Algorand is going to be amazing. Best of class across all chains. Over 2100 nodes and growing fast. ❤️

Thanks @func.algo.xyz & the gang in the #Algorand node runners discord for all your assistance! Did the switch, and got my node running ! Following in your footsteps @dumbgenx.algo.xyz 💪😎

Your #Algorand node is always connected to 4 other peers. But are all peers local or randomly scattered? How is it that the mainnet never partitioned? Add your node to Nodely's telemetry and check for yourself. g.nodely.io/d/telemetrym.... PQ-safe, partition-safe, only on #Algorand.

Free alpha. Deposit rates for USDC in Folks Finance app on #Algorand are... insane atm.

Nodes already up to 1700 and incentives haven't even kicked in yet. 😀 g.nodely.io/d/network/ne...

Hit .51 😀

Hey @bsky.app When iPad compatible iOS app?

The ~5700 TPS figure from June 2024 was 1) individual USDC transfers (no Smart C.) 2) averaged over ~5 minutes/100 blocks Example block: algo.surf/block/389226... During this time the chain was not disrupted for other users. See video of a swap @ 6K TPS: www.reddit.com/r/algorand/s... 1/3

@staci.algo.xyz leading from the front by using her .algo.xyz domain as her Bluesky handle 👏 One of @bsky.app’s coolest features is how they enable using domains—with all the existing trust and meaning they convey—in a federated social platform 🙌 Let’s see those .algo.xyz handles, AlgoFam!

I have to admit, I miss likes being private. I think that was a nice change on Twitter (not that Elon couldn't on a random whim change it again ofc).
