"Why June 12th, anyway? You used to claim June 11th."
Read all about it on my tinfoil blog post coming tomorrow on d13.co, but until then, some hints:
- June 11th midnight UTC was set in the genesis file, not by a block-producing node mainnet-api.4160.nodely.dev/…
- The first 6,658 blocks have a round time of 25 sec... right? And then a steady 4.25 sec average... Hm.
- Look up block timestamp rules in algod
🥳

I made the anniversary NFT. It will be available for free to:
- anyone who's ever bought or claimed one from the site before
- anyone who is on the site in ~6 hours (aka midnight UTC)
Heads up: the midnight UTC drop now requires you to connect your wallet. I changed how the claims are made, and there is now a smart contract that validates a signature that includes your address. These token signatures are only generated at midnight UTC, so be connected.
Whitelist people don't need to be there. One claim if you're both midnight attendee and WL.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Creating new X accounts seems to be broken
I want to create a new account for a new org
If I try to create a new account on web, I am instructed to get the app to finish registration
On Android app, I get "Please use X.com or official X apps to proceed with log in/sign up."
Using latest version in my region, 11.96.0-release.0, on Android 16.0.5 (real device / not emulated / not rooted)
This is the case for both the original X and the "new X" experience in the Android app

To temper community expectations - "org" label was used hastily, "team" would have been better. I have an idea for a community-led thing.

Be safe Algofam ⚠️
☢️ Scam warning - @algoblow
Received two credible reports that algoblow[.]com rekeyed accounts when users connected to check airdrop
The scam is a $BLOW asset optin that also rekeys the user account. Users who sign these transactions have their accounts rekeyed, thereby permanently losing access to them.
It may only trigger for high value accounts. 4 accounts have been rekeyed so far:
