Como cosas graciosas hemos anunciado el Pirate Life Casino, un casino de la mano de Night Life Crypto, donde puedes jugar a juegos de casino con ARRR! Siempre es increíble ver la Bandera Pirata ondeando en todo el mundo! Todos somos uno, somos Piratas!

Pirate Casino

Mientras muchos proyectos de criptomonedas tratan de encontrar utilidad para sus monedas, tan solo unas pocas consiguen hacer pasos en esa dirección. Pirate Chain ha estado haciendo considerables progresos tanto soporte tecnológico para comerciantes como para proveedores de servicios. Como parte de este esfuerzo comunitario para incrementar la adopción y la utilidad, Pirate Chain está asistiendo al lanzamiento de un nuevo casino en línea, basado totalmente on-chain, que usa ARRR como moneda.

Su primer juego, La Ruleta, ya está disponible. Para jugar dirígete a PirateLife.Casino y haz clic en en el botón de play now, en la parte superior derecha de la página. Haz clic en create account (o puedes entrar usando una cuenta existente (desde polarity, vía frase secreta o email), introduce un password y copia la frase secreta. Después del registro ya puedes ir a tu cuenta desplazandote por encima de la imagen de usuario en la parte superior derecha, y haciendo clic en account. desde aquí puedes hacer depósitos y retirar. Todos los monederos, como en polarity, son no-custodiados. (También puedes hacer clic en en botón "Chaos Mode" para ver todas las apuestas puestas sobre la mesa). El 25% de las ganancias del casino se destinan al márqueting de Pirate Chain.

Pirate Chain at Freedom Fest 2021

About FreedomFest 2021:

“The Ultimate Summit for the Liberty Movement FreedomFest is an intense three and a half days, and it’s different from any conference you have ever attended. Where else can you attend yoga in the morning, listen to world-renowned speakers on finance or geo-politics after breakfast, choose from among a dozen breakout sessions with the world’s brightest thought leaders in the afternoon, watch a movie (and meet the director) throughout the day, judge the contestants in an Entrepreneurs’ Competition, and end the day with karaoke? Plus, this year, you can choose to join a number of official excursions to world-famous destinations of Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Deadwood with other FreedomFesters.”

Última palabra del editor

A few days ago, firstmate Kosius published a spectacular article shedding light on all the fud that’s been thrown at Pirate. We appreciate every Pirate refuting these baseless fud. And Kosius did a terrific job putting together a robust response to all the nonsense. Please free to copy and paste this link (https://kosius.medium.com/opposing-the-power-of-lies-bullshit-and-fake-news-monero-community-is-lying-to-you-about-pirate-8ad31091ecac) whenever you encounter any fud.

In tandem with Kosius’s effort, here is a set of fud responses that I put together a few months for Pirate’s telegram channel:

Response to nonsensical fud

1. dPoW: Either this person doesn’t know how it works or is intentionally just stringing words together to suit their purpose.

— Pirate is mined with proof of work. Period. Just like any other proof of work coin, miners get rewarded with newly minted coins.

— Pirate’s proof of work blockchain is independent of dPoW and will function just as well as any other proof of work coin without dPoW

— dPoW (delayed proof of work) is an *additional* security feature. Any blockchain can engage dPoW’s service from Komodo for additional security against 51% attacks. Here’s how dPoW works: Komodo’s blockchain and Bitcoin’s blockchains allow for messages to be written to it. The notary nodes index the client’s (Pirate) blockchain every few minutes. The indexed blocks then get written into komodo’s blockchain, and in turn komodo’s blockchain is indexed and written into Bitcoin’s blockchain. Therefore, any attempt to perform a 51% attack and reverse Pirate’s blockchain would have to overcome Pirate’s hashrate + Komodo’s Hashrate + Bitcoin’s hashrate to roll the blocks back.

2. ASICS: just like any proof of work blockchain that can be ASIC mined, the hashrate will be dominated by machines with more efficient mining power. That is just how technology works. Same with Bitcoin.

— “ASICS who have hoarded the entire supply” clearly this fudder is just stringing words together. ASICS mine blocks and rewards are produced for the work. ASICS cannot hoard, they are just the engine that do the work.

— “and the notary nodes have complete control over the rewards” once again, this fudder has absolutely no idea how things work and is just intentionally mixing technical features with their own agenda. Notary nodes have *nothing* to do with Pirate’s block rewards. Entirely separate processes.

— I would bet that Fishy Guts can explain notary nodes better than this fudder can.

3. Notary node elections: notary nodes are an added security service. Why do you need a home alarm security system if you have locks on your door? For the extra security. The lock does its function and the house is fine without the home alarm system. The home alarm provides an extra layer of security. Any cryptocurrency can request Komodo to use this service for additional security. As a service that Komodo provides, it certainly makes sense that the Komodo ecosystem uses its own tokens to vote on the notary nodes providers.

4. JL777: JL has been nothing but an outstanding leader of the Komodo project. Komodo was launched with an ICO, by definition, a premine was required to perform the ICO.

5. Pirate product: Rarely seen in crypto, Pirate’s product was technically complete at launch, ie, the blockchain worked efficiently (as did Komodo’s, ZCash’s and Bitcoin’s) and the privacy protocol remains best in class to this day. Future technological innovation is not prerequisite for contemporary functionality.

— Products: once again this fudder is just fabricating falsehoods. Despite having no block mining rewards taxed for to go to the core team (as seen in Monero and Cash), Pirate has released several products built in-house by community contributors: (1) the world’s first z-z shielded-only mobile wallet, (2) a privacy-centric desktop operating system, (3) a merchant gateway designed for optimal client privacy, and several more in active research and development.

6. Trusted setup: a fudder favorite. I believe that almost all fudders do not know how this works.

— An elaborately secure and randomized process was undertaken to generate a set of parameters for use with zk-SNARKs. This multi-party computation involved 87 participants that had to generate data from multiple sources individually and separately all around the globe. All 87 participants would have had to be in cahoots prior to the process and store data from the ceremony to reproduce the parameters. The entire setup remains secure and irrefutable as long as there is 1 honest participant out of the 87. The parameter set has never been violated.
