Exploring Fault Proofs in Optimism: An Overview

The activation of fault proofs by Optimism marks a significant advancement in Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions, completing the first stage of its decentralization plan. This milestone is pivotal for enhancing the network's security and trustlessness, reducing reliance on centralized entities like the Optimism Security Council. Previously, the council monitored transactions and intervened to prevent fraud, but with the new fault proof system, any party can now challenge transactions, moving towards a more decentralized and inclusive network.

Ethereum's high transaction fees have made Layer 2 scaling solutions, such as rollups, essential. Optimism's fault proofs ensure that off-chain transactions are valid by allowing a challenge period where anyone can contest a transaction's validity. If a challenge is raised, a fault proof is provided and verified by the Ethereum mainnet, ensuring that invalid transactions are reverted.

This process significantly enhances the security and integrity of the blockchain. Unlike Arbitrum, which relies on 12 validators, Optimism's fault proof system is designed to be trustless and decentralized, enabling broader participation in transaction verification.

Despite initial challenges with proof generation and verification speeds, Optimism has optimized its fault proof mechanisms to be compatible with Ethereum's Layer 1. This achievement not only improves the security and decentralization of the network but also sets a benchmark for other rollup technologies.

The activation of fault proofs highlights the importance of continuous innovation and rigorous testing in the blockchain space. For more in-depth insights and exclusive research, join our Web3 Sync community on Intelisync and Learn more...

Don't Look Away / Just Look My Way (Blitzø's Version) by ErielleLynx

…Is what I would have wanted Blitzø to have said to Stolas if he didn’t have the emotional intelligence of a pebble.

Anyways! Rant / Explanation incoming haha.

First and foremost, none of the following is to somehow invalidate your love for any characters, ships, or dynamics. This is just one interpretation in a sea of different interpretations that might just not be suited to you. If this ain’t your cup of tea, that’s perfectly fine! Just please be respectful if you disagree haha.

So, I am by no means a songwriter, nor am I an experienced singer, but… I just couldn’t let this one go. I kept looking for something like this through YouTube, but I could only find AI covers. :,) I feel like there are so many things that just aren’t really being brought up yet and Stolas REALLY needs to hear them. I tried my best to add actual quotes (mostly Stolas’) and scenes from the episodes to show just how toxic their situationship had been up until this point.

Essentially, the original song would have been the romanticized perspective that Stolas had on their relationship, whereas Blitz’ version would be more… grounded in reality? Of course, it’s still from his perspective, so he doesn’t have the full story (i.e. “You lived the ideal!” Brother, no-), but it at least shows his side in a more… cohesive way? Thus, instead of asking for Stolas to “look his way”, Blitz does a reversal and is actually demanding he don’t look away from him, whether it be due to shame or guilt (Ya’ll remember Ozzies?), or because he literally can’t stand to look at him after the initial confrontation.

Some lyrics I wanted to point out:

“Your impish plaything” -> A call back to when Stolas LITERALLY calls him that to his face, and in front of his employees / daughter. Also, remember when he literally puts out a cigarette in his horns? (While also ignoring the fact that his body has burn marks and the implications of that action was seriously messed up? Like-) And then told him in that same scene that the Grimoire was much too important for such an “itty-bitty imp” to handle? ALSO, remember how in the original version of the song, Stolas even calls Blitz this exact same thing? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

“I’d play along that you were my king / And I was your shining knight” -> When they were in the amusement park at the start of the series, Stolas literally calls him this and is then upset that the M&Ms were the ones to rescue him. His full quote: “Where is Blitzy? He’s my knight in shining armor, not you littler ones”. You know, cause he doesn’t look down on imps.

“You’re not a friend, more like a patron” -> Ya'll, Blitz and Stolas were not friends when they were kids. The first and only time they interacted as children was because Stolas’ father literally bought Blitz for a day to spend time with his son, and he could because of their difference in status. From the very moment they met, their relationship was transactional; Blitz’ literal being was up for sale because it benefited his own father. In the present day, nothing had changed. You want my book? Give me your body. I saved you from the humans, didn’t I? Well, I expect you to give me something in return. Why was Blitz supposed to hope, let alone expect, that the dynamic would change? And so, is he really any different from any other imp servant he employs?

“I feel free from your chains” -> There is a literal scene that shows the audience that Blitz feels like he’s chained to Stolas, and that he can be pushed and pulled in any way because he’s beneath him. He knows he doesn’t really have any power in the dynamic, and so whether or not Stolas intended to so, he is still looking down on him based on the amount of control he has. Like… regardless of any serious feelings being developed further down the line, the fact that at some point that was his actual interpretation of the relationship is just… no. Of course, it’s in that same episode that Stolas then calls him his “Impish plaything”. Which, you know, probably doesn't help his view on the relationship and his lack of control of it, as well as his own self-worth.

“In the end, you made me plead” -> I absolutely hated that Stolas literally made Blitz grovel at his feet before presenting him with the Asmodean Crystal. He says he understands that Blitz has walls to protect himself with, but why did he think that this was the way to get him to be vulnerable? He can kneel down and be as soft-spoken as he wants to, he still threaten his livelihood, which would put himself, his daughter and the M&M’s, (whom are the only two constants in Blitz’ life) with no income, without an immediate explanation. So many ways that he could have done that interaction, and he chooses the absolute worst way possible.

“Your praise was merely noise” -> A callback to his rant with Fizz haha. Given all of the above, why would compliments and the occasional laugh be enough to change his mind about him?

“A lovely lie” -> Just him repeating Stolas’ own words in Stolas’ Song. It was all just a “comfortable lie”. Again, throwing his words back at him.

“A game of pretend” -> Much like the game of pirates they would play as children.

“Time to face / your mistakes” -> I’d like to think that he says that both metaphorically and literally. He’s telling Stolas that he needs to accept all the ways he did him wrong, but he’s also literally telling Stolas to look at him, the biggest mistake he has ever made.

Finally, I decided to end it with the original lyrics, not only as a callback to the original song, but to, again, throw those words back at Stolas. Yes, Blitz did in fact ask him to look his way, just like he wanted, but not for the reasons that he thought he would. It’s Blitz’ way of shattering that romanticized image of their relationship, of what it actually meant to be seen by him.

In conclusion, I’m upset at this bird haha. I hope these things get brought up somehow… Stolas giving him the crystal does not make up for any of these things, but it’s a start. Even so, it still feels like a transaction. The first genuine act of affection is still a material good. Accompanied by pretty words, yes, but he was still giving him something and hoped that would make it right and he would have his affection- or at the very least, his attention- in return. Oof…

Again, even if you don’t necessarily agree with this interpretation, I hope that ya’ll can still enjoy the song? ^^

AUTHENTIC BONDING:

We are mature

You enhance who I already am

There's emotional intimacy between us

Learn me, see me, hold space for all of me

I can regulate my own emotions

I do the work to meet my own needs first

There's a persistent sense of security

Emotions of both parts are equally valid

I'm not trying to be in control all the time

I'm not trying to repair you, I accept who you are

Steady, safe, we are consistently showing up for each other

My relationships are based in freedom, accountability, peace

Both partners are equally commited to the relationship

I'm self-aware, stable, and healed from any past traumas

I can apologize and admit that I was wrong

We both have firm boundaries, and we respect them

UNHEALTHY BONDING:

We act immature

You complete me

It feels superficial and transactional

Fix me, save me, validate my existence

I seek emotional regulation externally

I betray myself and all of my needs to receive love

I'm always insecure and afraid of losing my partner

Only my emotions are valid, others must accept it

I'm always trying to control situations or others

I'm taking everything personally

I'm trying to repair you to feel

Emotional roller coaster, chaotic, unpredictable, push-pull

My relationships mirror the patterns from my childhood

We aren't able to express similar commitment

We don't know and don't respect our boundaries

I can't tolerate being alone with my thoughts

I'm trying to fill the void inside me with another person's love

I'm struggling to engage in physical or emotional intimacy, but I'm not actively in therapy or I' don't see any problems with that

I'm using physical/psychological abuse, love bombing, triangulation, black and white thinking, grooming, gaslighting, projecting insecurities and negative emotions onto my partner, future faking, discarding, reverse discarding, idealization to devaluation pipeline, blackmail, threats, silent treatment, punishments, vendetta, smear campaigns, flying monkeys, guilt-tripping, DARVO, blaming others for my own emotions and actions, invalidating and other manipulation techniques etc.

Don’t Let Chargebacks Hurt Your Business: How to Handle Them Like a Pro!

Introduction: Chargeback

A chargeback is a transaction reversal initiated by a customer's bank or credit card issuer. It allows the customer to dispute a transaction and request a refund of the funds that were previously transferred to a merchant's account. Chargebacks are typically initiated when a customer believes that they have been charged for a product or service that they did not receive or when they are not satisfied with the product or service they received. Chargebacks can also be initiated in cases of fraudulent activity or unauthorized transactions. When a chargeback occurs, the merchant may be required to provide evidence to dispute the chargeback and retain the funds. If the merchant is unable to successfully dispute the chargeback, the funds are returned to the customer, and the merchant may be subject to additional fees and penalties.

Chargebacks can be a frustrating and costly experience for businesses. Not only can they result in the loss of revenue, but they can also harm your reputation and impact your ability to process payments in the future. However, chargebacks are not always avoidable, and it's essential to know how to handle them effectively when they do occur. Here are some tips on how to handle chargebacks from customers:

Understand the Reason for the Chargeback

The first step in handling a chargeback is to understand why it happened. There are many reasons why a customer might initiate a chargeback, such as unauthorized transactions, fraudulent activities, or dissatisfaction with the product or service. It's essential to identify the root cause of the chargeback to determine the best course of action.

Gather Evidence

Once you understand the reason for the chargeback, the next step is to gather evidence to dispute it. This might include customer receipts, shipping documents, or any other relevant documentation that supports your case. It's also a good idea to review your internal records to ensure that the chargeback is valid and not the result of an administrative error.

Respond Quickly

Chargebacks are time-sensitive, and there are specific deadlines that must be met to respond to them. It's essential to respond quickly to ensure that you have a chance to dispute the chargeback effectively. Most payment processors require that you respond within a specific timeframe, usually between 10 and 30 days.

Contact the Customer

If you have identified the reason for the chargeback and have gathered evidence to dispute it, the next step is to contact the customer directly. This can be an opportunity to resolve the issue and avoid further chargebacks. Be polite and professional in your communication, and try to find a mutually beneficial solution.

Dispute the Chargeback

If you have gathered evidence and believe that the chargeback is invalid, it's essential to dispute it with your payment processor. Provide all relevant documentation and explain why you believe the chargeback is not valid. Your payment processor will review the evidence and make a decision on the chargeback.

Learn from the Experience

Handling chargebacks can be a frustrating experience, but it's also an opportunity to learn and improve your business processes. Take the time to review your procedures and identify any areas that need improvement. This might include improving customer service, enhancing fraud detection, or improving product quality.

In conclusion,

Chargebacks can be a challenging and frustrating experience for businesses, but they are not always avoidable. Understanding the reason for the chargeback, gathering evidence, responding quickly, contacting the customer, disputing the chargeback, and learning from the experience are all essential steps in handling chargebacks effectively. By following these tips, you can minimize the impact of chargebacks on your business and maintain your reputation with your customers.

Felipe vs. Heirs of Aldon

G.R. No. L-60174

Feb 16, 1983

Facts:

Petitioners: Eduardo Felipe, Hermogena V. Felipe, Vicente V. Felipe.

Respondents: Heirs of Maximo Aldon, including Gimena Almosara, Sofia Aldon, and Salvador Aldon.

In 1936, Maximo Aldon married Gimena Almosara.

Between 1948 and 1950, the couple acquired several parcels of land, subdivided into lots 1370, 1371, and 1415 in San Jacinto, Masbate.

In 1951, Gimena sold these lots to the Felipes without Maximo's consent.

On April 26, 1976, Maximo's heirs filed a complaint in the Court of First Instance of Masbate (Civil Case No. 2372) claiming ownership and alleging an oral mortgage.

The trial court ruled in favor of the Felipes, declaring them lawful owners and dismissing the complaint.

The Court of Appeals reversed this decision, ordering the Felipes to surrender the lots and account for profits.

Issue:

Whether or not the sale of the conjugal property was valid.

Ruling:

The sale of the conjugal property by Gimena Almosara was ruled invalid due to the absence of her husband's consent.

The petitioners did not acquire ownership of the lots by acquisitive prescription because of their bad faith.

The Court emphasized that a wife cannot dispose of conjugal property without her husband's consent, as per Article 166 of the Civil Code.

Gimena's sale was deemed voidable due to her lack of capacity to consent without her husband's agreement.

How to Protect Yourself from Property Fraud in India: A Simple Guide

Buying property is a huge step, but it can be a nightmare if the documents turn out to be fake. Property fraud, especially involving forged papers, is not uncommon in India. It can cause a lot of emotional and financial distress. Here’s what you can do if you fall victim to property fraud, and some simple tips on how to avoid it.

Steps to Take If You're a Victim of Property Fraud

File a Police Report The first thing you need to do is file a police report (FIR). This is crucial for starting the investigation. You should mention specific sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) like Section 420 (cheating) and Section 467 (forgery). This will help the police begin their work and hold the fraudsters accountable.

Check the Sale Deed Visit the sub-registrar’s office where the property sale was registered. This can help you verify if the documents are real. If the sale was based on forged documents, you can request the cancellation of the registration. The sub-registrar’s office plays a key role in making sure property transactions are legal.

Challenge the Fraud in Court To cancel a fraudulent sale deed, you may need to go to court. You can file a civil suit to make the sale invalid. This might involve reversing the transaction or getting the property returned to you. It’s important to act quickly and secure your legal rights.

Verify Ownership Records Always check the property’s title deed and confirm if the seller actually owns it. Visit the Land Records Office or the Revenue Department for this. These records can help expose fraudulent transactions and strengthen your case.

Consult a Property Lawyer Navigating the legal process can be tricky, but a good property lawyer can make a big difference. They’ll help you file the FIR, gather the right evidence, and guide you through the court process. Having legal support makes the process smoother and less stressful.

Seek Compensation If you can’t get the property back, you may still be able to recover your financial losses. A civil suit can help you get back the money you paid, plus compensation for any extra costs or distress caused by the fraud.

How to Prevent Property Fraud in the Future

File a CaveatAfter resolving your case, file a caveat with the sub-registrar. This can stop anyone from selling your property without your knowledge in the future.

Regularly Check Property RecordsStay updated on any changes to the property’s ownership records. Regular checks will help you spot any potential fraud early on.

Be Careful When Buying Property Verify the seller’s identity and check that their documents match the property details. Using a trusted real estate broker and consulting experts can also help you avoid falling into scams.

Affiliate Fraud: Detect, Defend & Protect your Brand

Affiliate infringements are far more prevalent than traditional ad fraud. That is a set of practices that are unethical and could damage the reputation of a brand. This includes a practice known as brand bidding, in which the trademark of a brand is used to drive traffic to their sites, or the use of influencer coupon codes to inflate sales metrics artificially.

Very often, affiliates would also make IP violations such as typo-squatting, a method that uses small misspell of the brand’s URL to route traffic to harmful websites. Such violations not only compromise the overall effectiveness of the affiliate campaign but also erode the trust created between the brand and its legitimate affiliates.  

Types of Affiliate Ad Campaigns Brand must Track for Full-Funnel Protection  

There are different types of affiliate fraud contingent upon the commission structure of the campaign, and they may be classified as follows:  

Cost-Per-Click (CPC)  

In this, for every click on an ad, the affiliate would make money. It is prone to click fraud wherein bots and click farms inflate the number of clicks but engage no real customer.  

Cost-Per-Leads (CPL)  

The affiliates are paid according to customer actions such as the form submissions and signing up on emails. In this aspect, the most common tactic fraudsters would use is fake leads or invalid customer actions.  

Cost-Per-Sale (CPS)  

Affiliates get paid according to commissions on sales that are completed. Manipulation with this model typically happens through the pushing of fake transactions or exploiting return policies for gaining commissions from sales later reversed.

Flashing Bitcoins: What You Need to Know

Flash Bitcoins, often referred to as "Bitcoin flashing" or "BTC flashing," is a controversial topic in the cryptocurrency space. This process typically involves the use of software designed to send Bitcoin transactions that appear legitimate on the blockchain but are not actually valid. The aim is to make these transactions visible temporarily before they disappear or revert, thus creating the illusion that funds have been sent and received when, in reality, no permanent transfer occurs.

How Does Flashing Bitcoins Work?

The process generally exploits the time delay between the initial broadcasting of a Bitcoin transaction and its confirmation by the blockchain. Flashing software often creates unconfirmed transactions that appear in a recipient's wallet but are later invalidated because they never receive the necessary confirmations.

While these transactions may look real at first glance, they are not truly completed. Essentially, the flashing software sends out what is known as a "double-spend" transaction—attempting to spend the same Bitcoin in two places. The Bitcoin network will eventually reject the second transaction once the legitimate one is confirmed.

The Risks and Legal Implications

Flash Bitcoins is highly risky and likely illegal in many jurisdictions. The very nature of this process—creating fake or reversible transactions—can be viewed as fraudulent activity. Many users are drawn to Bitcoin for its decentralized nature and the ability to control funds without third-party intervention. Flashing software undermines this principle by manipulating transaction visibility and trust.

Involvement in such schemes can result in severe penalties, as many countries consider this to be a form of financial fraud. Furthermore, reputable cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets will detect and block such activity, preventing users from withdrawing or spending the "flashed" coins.

Avoiding Bitcoin Flashing Scams

Many platforms claim to sell Bitcoin flashing software, promising users a way to manipulate the system for quick profits. However, these offers are often scams designed to steal funds from unsuspecting buyers. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. It's essential to stick to legitimate trading and investing practices and avoid using or purchasing software that claims to manipulate blockchain transactions.

Conclusion

Flash Bitcoins may seem like a shortcut to gaining more Bitcoin or tricking others into believing they've received funds. However, the risks—including legal ramifications and financial losses—far outweigh any potential short-term gains. Instead, it's recommended to engage with cryptocurrency responsibly and avoid engaging in illegal or unethical practices that could damage your reputation or wallet.

Ensuring Compliance: The Importance of SCRA Military Verification for Vehicle Transactions

In the world of vehicle transactions, particularly in repossessions and auctions, ensuring compliance with federal laws is paramount. One of the most critical pieces of legislation in this arena is the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). This law offers a range of protections to active-duty military personnel, including specific provisions related to the repossession and sale of their vehicles. To comply with these protections, conducting an SCRA military verification of vehicle is essential for lenders, auction houses, and financial institutions involved in vehicle transactions.

Why SCRA Military Verification Is Crucial

The SCRA military verification of vehicle is not just a bureaucratic step; it is a legal requirement that ensures the rights of service members are upheld. Under the SCRA, active-duty military personnel are protected from repossession or sale of their vehicles without a court order. This means that before any action is taken regarding a vehicle's repossession or auction, the lender or auction house must verify the military status of the vehicle's owner. Failure to do so can result in severe legal consequences, including fines and invalidation of the transaction.

The Role of SCRA Status Reports in Vehicle Transactions

In addition to the initial verification, obtaining an SCRA status report of vehicle is a critical step in the process. This report provides detailed information about the military status of the vehicle's owner, confirming whether they are on active duty and, therefore, entitled to SCRA protections. A vehicle's SCRA status report acts as a protection, guaranteeing that every person engaged in the transaction is completely informed and legalistically compliant. This report is especially important in preventing legal disputes and protecting the rights of service members.

How SCRA Military Verification Protects Service Members

The purpose of the SCRA military verification of vehicle is to prevent the unlawful repossession or sale of a service member's property while they are on active duty. Military people have particular financial difficulties because of their service responsibilities; hence this protection is absolutely necessary. By requiring verification of military status, the SCRA ensures that these individuals are not unfairly penalized or deprived of their property without due process. This law reflects the nation's commitment to supporting those who serve in the armed forces.

The Importance of Accurate SCRA Status Reporting

Accuracy in the SCRA status report of vehicle is essential for legal compliance and the protection of all parties involved. Inaccurate or incomplete reports can lead to significant legal issues, including the reversal of repossession actions and potential liability for damages. Lenders and auction houses must use reliable tools and services to obtain accurate SCRA status reports, ensuring that all actions taken are fully compliant with federal law.

Conclusion

In the realm of vehicle transactions, compliance with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act is not just important—it is mandatory. Conducting thorough SCRA military verification of vehicle and obtaining a detailed SCRA status report of vehicle are essential steps in ensuring that the rights of service members are protected and that all transactions are legally sound. For those seeking to perform these verifications accurately and efficiently, servicememberdata.com offers the necessary resources and tools. By utilizing these services, lenders, auction houses, and financial institutions can ensure full compliance with the SCRA, protecting both their interests and the rights of those who serve.

Integrating Databases with Ruby on Rails: Best Practices

In the realm of web development, Ruby on Rails (RoR) stands out as a powerful and efficient framework for building robust and scalable web applications. One of the core components of any web application is its database, and integrating databases with Ruby on Rails requires careful consideration and adherence to best practices. In this article, we will explore the importance of integrating databases with Ruby on Rails effectively and discuss some best practices to ensure optimal performance and maintainability. Additionally, we'll highlight the role of a reputable ruby on rails development company usa, in implementing these best practices.

Ruby on Rails simplifies the process of database integration by providing a set of conventions and tools that streamline common tasks such as database configuration, migrations, and querying. However, effective database integration goes beyond simply setting up a connection and defining models; it involves designing a database schema that aligns with the application's requirements, optimizing database performance, and ensuring data consistency and integrity.

One of the first steps in integrating databases with Ruby on Rails is selecting an appropriate database management system (DBMS) that meets the needs of the application. Ruby on Rails supports a variety of DBMS options, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others. Each DBMS has its strengths and weaknesses in terms of performance, scalability, and features, so it's essential to carefully evaluate the requirements of the application and choose the right option accordingly.

Once a DBMS is selected, the next step is designing the database schema. This involves defining the structure of the database, including tables, columns, relationships, and constraints. In Ruby on Rails, database schema design is typically done using ActiveRecord migrations, which allow developers to define database changes in a version-controlled and reversible manner. When designing the database schema, it's crucial to follow established database design principles such as normalization, which helps minimize redundancy and ensure data integrity.

Another best practice in integrating databases with Ruby on Rails is optimizing database queries for performance. This involves writing efficient SQL queries and leveraging ActiveRecord's query interface to minimize database load and response times. Techniques such as indexing, eager loading, and caching can also help improve query performance and scalability. Additionally, developers should be mindful of potential performance bottlenecks such as N+1 query problems and strive to address them proactively.

Data consistency and integrity are paramount in any web application, and Ruby on Rails provides built-in mechanisms to ensure these principles are upheld. ActiveRecord validations allow developers to define rules for data integrity at the model level, preventing invalid or inconsistent data from being saved to the database. Transactions provide a way to group database operations into atomic units, ensuring that either all operations succeed or none do, thereby maintaining data consistency in the event of failures or errors.

Furthermore, effective database integration with Ruby on Rails involves implementing robust backup and recovery strategies to safeguard against data loss and corruption. Regular database backups, offsite storage, and disaster recovery plans are essential components of any backup strategy. Additionally, monitoring tools and alerts can help identify and address potential issues such as database downtime or performance degradation proactively.

While Ruby on Rails provides powerful tools and conventions for integrating databases, partnering with a reputable ruby on rails web development company usa can further enhance the process. A skilled and experienced development team can provide valuable insights and expertise in database design, optimization, and maintenance, ensuring that the database integration aligns with the application's goals and requirements. By leveraging the services of a trusted Ruby on Rails web development company in the USA, businesses can achieve optimal performance, scalability, and reliability in their web applications.

In conclusion, 

integrating databases with Ruby on Rails is a critical aspect of web application development that requires careful planning, design, and implementation. By following best practices such as selecting the right DBMS, designing an efficient database schema, optimizing queries for performance, and ensuring data consistency and integrity, developers can build robust and scalable web applications that meet the needs of their users. Partnering with a reputable ruby on rails website development company usa can further enhance the database integration process, ensuring that the application's database meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Dogecoin (DOGE) prices remain rooted at $0.06 territory, as bullish investors continue to HOLD their positions despite relatively flat performance in September. On-chain analysis explores key indicators that could impact DOGE price action in October.  After weeks of price stagnation, Dogecoin miners have started to offload some of their block rewards. Can the Dogecoin price avoid a bearish downswing in October?  Dogecoin Miners Have Offloaded 350 Million Coins In the Last Three Months After a brief accumulation period in mid-September, Dogecoin miners are back in sell-off mode as prices remain stagnant. The Miners have now reduced their balances in three consecutive months. On July 11, the Miners held a total of 4.7 billion DOGE in their cumulative balances. But the figure has dwindled to just 4.35 billion DOGE as of September 28. This means that they have depleted their holdings of 350 million coins within a space of three months.  Dogecoin (DOGE) Miners Reserves vs. Price: Source: IntoTheBlock Miners Reserves tracks the deposit balances in wallet addresses linked to recognized Dogecoin miners and mining pools. When benchmarked to the current market prices of $0.061, the 350 million DOGE sale means the miners have offloaded coins worth $21.5 million since July 11. Considering that Miners control about 3.08% of the total DOGE in circulation, they could force a major downswing if they intensify their selling trend in October.  Whale Investors Have Dailled Down Their Trading Activity  On-chain data also shows that Dogecoin whale investors have reduced their trading activity recently. This further confirms the bearish DOGE price prediction.  As depicted in the chart below, DOGE attracted 819 unique Large Transactions at the recent peak on July 25. It has, however, headed downhill since then, as the network recorded just 79 whale transactions on September 28.  Dogecoin (DOGE) Adjusted Large Transactions vs. Price | Source: IntoTheBlock The Adjusted Large Transactions metric aggregates the total value of confirmed trades that exceed $100,000 on a given trading day while excluding amounts returned to an original address.  A decrease in unique whale transactions is typically bearish for an asset’s price.  It means lower market liquidity, making it difficult for market participants to execute trades efficiently.  Among other factors, the miners flooding the market and the downtrend in whale transactions could drive down Dogecoin prices in October 2023 and beyond.  DOGE Price Prediction: The $0.05 Support is at Risk The lack of movement in DOGE prices could evolve into a prolonged bearish reversal below $0.05 in the coming weeks. The In/Out of Money Around Price data, which depicts the entry price distribution of the current DOGE holders, also supports this narrative.   It, however, highlights that the bears will face a considerable obstacle around the $0.05 territory. As shown below, the 441,640 DOGE holders had bought 6.22 billion coins at the maximum price of $0.59. If they defend their long positions, DOGE could avoid the bearish downswing. But if the bearish miners keep selling, Dogecoin price could eventually wobble below the $0.05 support level, as predicted.  Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Prediction | IOMAP, Sept 2023.

However, 456,140 million addresses had bought 1.67 billion DOGE at the average price of $0.06. If the miners keep selling, that resistance level could prove daunting for the Dogecoin bulls. Although unlikely under the current on-chain circumstances, the DOGE price could eventually hit $0.07 if that resistance level folds. Source

What Is Proof of Work (PoW) in Crypto?

Several blockchain networks employ proof of work (PoW) as a consensus technique to confirm transactions and safeguard the network. Cynthia Dwork and Moni Naor initially proposed this technique in 1993 as a way to tackle spam emails. Later that year, Satoshi Nakamoto utilised it as the basic consensus method for Bitcoin, the world's first cryptocurrency. Many other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum and Litecoin, have now adopted the PoW algorithm.

What is Proof of Work (PoW)?

What is Proof of work: It is a consensus algorithm that requires users to perform a computationally intensive task, known as mining, to add new transactions to the blockchain. Miners compete with each other to solve a complex mathematical problem, which involves finding a hash value that meets a specific target. The first miner to solve the problem and validate the transaction is rewarded with newly minted cryptocurrency and transaction fees.

In other words, PoW is a process that ensures that each transaction on the blockchain is valid and the network remains secure by making it difficult to add false or invalid transactions to the blockchain. The computational power required to validate transactions ensures that a majority of the miners must have invested significant resources in the network, thereby reducing the likelihood of a single entity taking control of the network.

How Does Proof of Work Work?

To secure the network and confirm transactions, proof of work relies on the processing power of miners. When a new transaction is introduced into the network, it is broadcast to all nodes. The transaction is subsequently validated by network nodes to guarantee its validity.

Following verification, the transaction is added to the mempool, which is a pool of unconfirmed transactions. Miners then compete by solving a complex mathematical problem to add the transactions in the mempool to the blockchain.

The challenge is to find a hash value that fits a specified requirement. This entails appending a random number to the transaction data and running it through a cryptographic hash algorithm. If the hash value produced satisfies the goal difficulty, the miner has solved the problem and the block is put to the network. The target difficulty is modified on a regular basis to ensure that blocks are consistently added to the network.

Once a block has been uploaded to the blockchain, the transactions contained inside it are considered confirmed and cannot be revoked or amended. The miner that successfully uploaded the block to the blockchain receives newly created bitcoin as well as transaction fees.

.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Proof of Work

Because of its numerous advantages, proof of work is frequently adopted by various cryptocurrencies. One of the primary benefits is that it is a tried-and-true algorithm that has been in use for over a decade. It is also quite easy to comprehend and implement.

PoW also has the advantage of being a fair algorithm that pays miners for their efforts and encourages them to invest in the network. Because no single party can take control of the network, it stays decentralised and secure.

Yet, PoW is not without drawbacks. The biggest downside is that it is a computationally complex procedure that consumes a lot of energy. The amount of energy required to mine cryptocurrencies has raised concerns about their environmental impact.

Another downside of PoW is its susceptibility to 51% assaults. When a single entity controls the bulk of the computational power on the network, they can manipulate the blockchain and reverse transactions.

Conclusion

Several cryptocurrencies employ proof of work as a consensus technique to validate transactions and secure the network. To add new transactions to the blockchain, miners must solve a hard mathematical problem. While PoW has numerous advantages, such as being a tried-and-true algorithm that compensates miners for their efforts, it is also a computationally taxing process that consumes a lot of energy.

Why Is My Cash App Account Closed? Some Common Reasons

Finance company Cash App, established in 2013, enables peer-to-peer payments online. Cash App is well known for canceling accounts, despite the fact that it allows users to send money to friends and family and make purchases. But in some cases +1(909) 610-3890 Why Is My Cash App Account Closed?

Quick Answer

Cash App may Close your account for a number of reasons. Cash App retains the right to cancel your account if any suspicious activity or fraudulent transaction is connected to your account. Additionally, Cash App has the right to block and outright terminate your account if the information you provided is false, including your identity or bank account.

The right to close your account is reserved by Cash App in the event that you break one or more of their terms and conditions. You might be able to convince customer service in some circumstances to reactivate your account. In this article, we'll go into more detail about some of the typical reasons Cash App closes user accounts so you can either avoid it or understand why it did to you.

The Possible Causes for Cash App Closed Your Account

Cash App keeps an eye on every account for anything unusual to guarantee that everyone using the platform is safe. Depending on the terms of service you breach, Cash App Account is Closed if anything out of the ordinary occurs.

Ten typical explanations for Why Your Cash App Account is Closed are listed below.

Failure to Pay a Negative Balance

Getting an overdraft and borrowing from it is one of the numerous functions of Cash App. However, if your balance falls below zero, your account can be closed. On the Cash App, you shouldn't be able to enter a negative balance, but some people utilize tricks, including using the Cash Card at a gas station where the pump terminal can't tell the difference between the money in your account and the one in your overdraft.

Government Compliance 

Cash App must cooperate with governmental requests to close your account, such as those made by the government. Therefore, Cash App must cooperate if there is a subpoena, court order, or other legitimate government order to stop, reverse, or postpone your transaction.

Therefore, Cash App reserves the right to delete your account in accordance with any governmental directive if you ever found yourself in legal difficulties.

Invalid P2P Transactions

Additionally, Cash App has a stringent anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering program that makes sure no user abuses the system. Therefore, Cash App has the right to terminate your account and keep the money if you receive funds that they suspect do not belong to you. Even if you are unsure of who sent the money, if it was part of a fraud or scam, your account will be closed.

Utilizing a Personal Account for Business

You have the option to create a personal or a business account when you sign up for Cash App. You can simultaneously create and utilize a personal account and a business account if you so choose. You cannot, however, use your personal account for business purposes or your business account for personal use. If you inter-switch both accounts, Cash App can quickly locate and terminate your account.

Age Limitations

You affirm that you are at least 18 years old in order to use Cash App. Therefore, Cash App will close your account if the age you entered during registration does not match the age on your SSN or other facts you gave when you register a Cash App account for whatever reason.

If you wish to purchase and sell bitcoin on the platform, invest in stocks, or order a Cash Card, you will need to validate your Cash App account.

Incorrect Email or Phone Number

Cash App has the right to terminate your account if the information you provided when joining up is false. Therefore, you should be truthful and utilize accurate information when creating your account. If you still have the last three months' worth of utility bills, for instance, don't include your prior residence's address while filling out your residential address. Your name, phone number, email, and other contact information should all be updated.

Cash App has the right to suspend or terminate your account if they believe there is a difference between the information you gave and your actual credential.

Non-Resident United States

Unfortunately, you must be a resident of the U.S. or the UK and at least 18 years old in order to use Cash App. Therefore, Cash App will eventually discover your attempt to utilize a VPN from another country to create an account using false information or someone else's information, and the account will be closed. Your I.P. address is recorded by Cash App so they may determine from which nation you are accessing the service.

Unverified Cash App Account

Being asked only the typical questions that any fintech would ask you makes creating a Cash App account rather simple. A government-issued ID, proof of ownership of your phone number, and proof of ownership of your email address would be required to confirm your identification. But since Cash App will validate the data you submit, one thing is bound to lead to another.

It violates their terms of service and could result in the closure of your account if you are unable to verify any of the information you submit.

Fraudulent $Cashtag

People can send you money using $Cashtags, which are unique identifiers in the Cash App more akin to your username. As long as it has at least one letter and isn't more than 20 characters long, the $Cashtags can be anything.

Cash App, however, has the right to close your account if your $Cashtag is deceptive or used to induce people to transfer your money.

Error in Service

Errors happen, and occasionally your account may be flagged for the incorrect reason. In some rare instances, even if you did nothing wrong, your account could be closed. In such circumstances, you should file a complaint with Cash App customer support, and the problem might be fixed.

How Do I Verify My Identity on Cash App? Easy Method 2023-

A peer-to-peer payment application such as Cash App can efficiently send and receive small amounts of money. However, it is essential to be cautious of any offers that may appear too good to be true. If you are trying to purchase many coins, consider using a service such as Venmo or Zelle. These services are much safer than Cash App. Once you have verified your identity, you can make payments with the app. However, this can take a couple of weeks. In the meantime, you can backtrack your transaction or request a refund. This will allow you to avoid any back-and-forth communication with the person you are trying to pay.

If you are wondering why the Cash App is not verifying my Bitcoin, it may be due to an incorrect payment method or an outdated mobile app. However, if you catch the scam in time, you should be able to reverse the transaction.

Another way to check if your Cash App transaction is working is to check the QR code on your device. You should also scan your wallet address on the mobile app. You should also enable two-factor authentication. This is important because you should not share your login information with anyone.

To make the most of your Cash App experience, you should first make sure that you have a secure email address. It is also a good idea to install antivirus software on your device. This will prevent malware from infecting your device. You should also make sure you are a legal adult in your state. If you are, your account may be allowed.

How Do I Verify My Identity on Cash App?

Cash App is a popular peer-to-peer payment app that allows users to buy and sell Bitcoin. The app is similar to Venmo or PayPal. It enables users to transfer money instantly and is considered to be secure. However, it has some drawbacks. Getting a verified account on Cash App is more challenging than it may sound.

If the photo is blurry, the ID will be marked as invalid.

Next, you will need to verify your debit card information. Cash App allows you to enter your card information manually, but you can also scan a QR code. Once you have the card information, you can buy or sell Bitcoin.

Once you have completed your verification, you will receive an email confirming your transaction. You will also be able to see your transaction's status on your mobile device.

How Long is Verification For Bitcoin on the Cash App?

Buying and selling Bitcoin is a quick process through the Cash App. However, you need to verify your identity before using the service. This may be an uphill battle. This process can take up to a week or two.

You may be required to provide proof of employment or social security number. The Cash App website has a helpful list of common problems that users may encounter. These include invalid debit card numbers, incorrect email addresses, and failed transactions. 

One of the first things you should do is check your email to see if the company sent you a verification email. You can then re-verify your account and try transferring the money again. This will increase your chances of getting your money.

The Cash App bitcoin verification denied sign is an interesting little thing to see, but if you're lucky enough to get a verification email, you might have to wait a few days before you can withdraw your money. However, you should be able to withdraw your money if you want to, as long as you don't click on the "see more transactions" link.

Where is Optimism OP/USD after Ethereum Merge?

Optimism token has, alongside L2 Ethereum solutions been surging ahead of the Merge.

Optimism witnessed strong fundamentals in July and August.

OP could fall by a further 22%.

Optimism OP/USD is a Layer-2 scaling for the Ethereum network. Its role is to facilitate less costly and quick transactions on Ethereum. Following the Ethereum Merge, eyes were on alternatives and scaling layers for price reaction. Since the Merge has occurred, it is crucial to evaluate how Optimism has reacted. 

Well, Optimism was the talk of the streets in July and early August as prices pumped. Whereas the gains were driven largely by speculations, a couple of fundamentals helped. One includes the liquidity mining program which Optimism launched on Aave in early August. The development pushed the deposits on Aave to Optimism up by a significant 493%. 

The Ethereum Merge was also adding momentum to Optimism. The Merge is expected to increase the role of scaling solutions through a “Rollup-Centric Roadmap.” The roadmap allows Ethereum to become the data availability and settlement layer. It will leave the scaling role to Layer-2 Protocols.

OP risks another 22% drop as price falls post-Merge

Technicals are not convincing for the Optimism token. On the daily chart, the price drop coincides with a MACD crossover to the bear zone. That allowed the price to fall below the moving averages. 

Source – TradingView

Assuming an extended correction, OP will fall back to the late August lows of $0.98. That represents a drop of around 22%. The bearish prediction will be invalidated if the price recovers above the 20-MA. It should be confirmed with a clear reversal and improved sentiment.

Concluding thoughts

Optimism could continue to fall despite the expected benefit from the Merge. It suggests that the token already benefited from the post-Merge expectations. $0.98 is the next bottom for OP.
