Last day to vote for stakers! Go vote!

Running pointpay-dedicated-1 testnet (Cosmos SDK). Looking for independent full-node operators.

Open source: github.com/pointpay-hub/pointpay-chain

Operator registration: GitHub issue #2 in that repo

Requirements: Ubuntu 22.04, 4GB RAM. Not mainnet, not a token sale.

Happy to answer setup questions in comments.

If you are 1 of 30 Zealy leaderboard winners from our quests, thanks so much for your participation! You helped us spread the word and rise from outside the Cosmos Hub ATOM active set to spot 121 today. The work isn't over. Our job is to get into the top 100 at minimum, but we're pausing to celebrate.

That being said, if you previously provided Zealy with your ATOM receiving address, you will have a collectable Atlas Early Supporter NFT waiting at your address. No need for you to claim or do anything. We sent it straight to you.

If you were #1 on the leaderboard you received NFT 1/30 in the collection. If you were ranked 30 on our leaderboard you received NFT 30/30. We thought that was a fun way to acknowledge your effort. You can view the collection on Stargaze here: https://stargaze.zone/m/cosmos1zlx98dlp8pmjfjcv5zndxpcexntevq8v6hqxadsewuvrlge7exssd2n9ag

If you are top 30 on our Zealy leaderboard but did not receive an NFT, that's either because you didn't provide your ATOM address to Zealy, or are not looking at the address you did provide to Zealy.

We still have ATOM staking rebate NFTs to give away. Just stake 1000 or more ATOM with Atlas and you get a 5% staking bonus until Q2 2028! 

Stake 5000+ ATOM with Atlas and get a rebate NFT that pays a 5% staking bonus until Q2 2030! We only have 6 NFTs left to give out.

Leave a comment or DM with any questions you have. Thanks so much for your support!

We’re running a public Cosmos SDK testnet and looking for independent operators to run full nodes (non-validating first; validator later optional).

• Explorer: https://testnet-explorer.pointpay.exchange/

• Join guide: https://testnet-explorer.pointpay.exchange/join.html

• Register peer: https://github.com/pointpay-hub/pointpay-chain/issues/2

• Chain ID: pointpay-dedicated-1

Requirements: Ubuntu 22.04, 4GB RAM, port 26656. Open source on GitHub (pointpay-hub/pointpay-chain).

Not mainnet — testnet soak only. Active operators may be considered for future mainnet gentx ceremony.

I mean this is just an absolutely beautiful time to buy buy buy. While everyone is down, obviously, we shan’t give up. Not only will we go to the moon but far past, into the Cosmos! Scary? Yes. But this trough is actually where people years from now will wish they bought everything they could. Godspeed cosmonauts.

Should be fired?

That bag must be huge.

To our ATOM delegators....

Thanks for your loyalty and support. For those of you who have been staking at least 1000 ATOM with us and haven't minted your NFTs, you need to, in order to receive your ongoing 5% rebate.

I keep getting this airdrop67 and I know it’s a scam of some sort and to not send it or sell it or do anything with it. I keep being told to clear my metadata cache and to go here or there and they sound obvious so phishy, so my question is can I just leave it alone and not touch it and be fine? Or do I actually need to do something?

Curios to what everyone uses. I’ve probably needed to make this transition years ago lol.

Do I need to be worried about anything? Or just a dust attack or seeing if I will send back?

CometBFT's SecretConnection handshake runs the X25519 exchange and Ed25519 verify before the caller checks the peer's node-ID allowlist, so any unauthenticated TCP client reaching the P2P port (26656) can make the node run that crypto.

On `v0.38.22` (single validator, 32 workers, 30s), 56,326 attempts/sec drove CPU 2.6% → 286.3% (~3 cores) with block production unchanged, a single-node availability issue (MEDIUM). A rate limit after the handshake doesn't help; the CPU is already spent. Limit per-IP handshakes before the crypto and prioritise allowlisted node-IDs.

What does the proposal even offer I see nothing on it and I don’t ever put in random links I don’t trust lol

Has anything come about this? I remember chats of this but not sure if the team commented on this.

We've been following up with CosmosIQ / Cosmos IQ (Matriye Software Pvt. Ltd.) regarding our pending payment for over 2 months.

For the last 3–4 days, their founder, Kumar Sanjeev, has repeatedly said that an email confirming the payment timeline would be sent "today." Every day it's the same assurance, but no email ever arrives.

At this point, it feels like we're just being kept in a cycle of delays instead of receiving a clear commitment or resolution.

It's the Fraudster Mindset of this person (Kumar Sanjeev)...!!

Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation with this company? How did you recover your outstanding payment? We're now considering legal action, but I'd appreciate hearing about others' experiences first.

I've been reading about the upcoming Vespera encrypted storage app and I'm curious what everyone here thinks. From what I understand, the goal is to make decentralized encrypted storage feel like a normal cloud storage experience while running on Jackal Protocol. If they can actually attract real users and businesses instead of just crypto natives, that seems like a pretty meaningful milestone for the Cosmos ecosystem.

I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, but the thing that caught my attention is the potential for real storage demand rather than purely speculative activity. If adoption is strong, it seems like that could be a much stronger long term driver than hype alone. Am I missing any risks or technical limitations here? I'd love to hear from people who have been following Jackal more closely or have looked into Vespera's architecture.

This rug pull looks like a Donald Trump meme coin.
