Why I STILL remain super bullish about @chia_project on the 5th Anniversary of Mainnet edition thread 🧡 See below previous threads for many other reasons, also as always not financial advice, make your own decisions.
Why I (remain) super bullish on @chia_project - the sky is not falling edition thread 🧡 See these previous threads for other reasons why Chia is the blockchain of the future. As always not investment advice:

I dont think the below is the right take This is the "They won't always have calculators" take we had in the 80's for AI All future workers will have AI available. Education shouldn't try to revert to a pre-AI state, it should optimise for requirements of an AI abundant world
I find this discourse perplexing because the solution seems straigthforward: make university marks almost entirely dependent on lengthy in-person exams that combine handwritten essays with oral questioning. Why is this even a conversation? Are there implementation barriers or something?

This is so irresponsible, especially Tesla reposting it. If you are not fit to drive independently, you are not fit to react and take over in an emergency. People will die because of this and not necessarily just the Tesla drivers.
This 93 year old has found new freedom after she bought a new @Tesla Model Y with FSD. She also uses Grok navigation. "Although she has always been a good driver, my mom can now drive without the fear or fatigue that can naturally come with age. No more relying on others for every trip. No more feeling stuck. This is true mobility that can spark new adventures in a still adventurous women!" (via Dan Doyle's Family Channel. Full video below)

Do read the excellent blog post hiding as an update note, describing how to provide a state of the art AI response to the rapidly escalating AI based cybersecurity threats. Well done @jde5011 and the whole @chia_project team for rising to the occasion and the transparency!
Version 2.7.0 of the Chia reference client is now available for download. We are urging the entire community of farmers, node operators, and ecosystem partners to adopt this update immediately. This contains a soft fork release that will activate at block 8,655,000, around April 29/30 – the same block as the soft fork changes in 2.6.0 which was released on February 11. Read more on this release here: chia.net/2026/03/26/chia-2-7…

An undo button, isn't that how it should be? Transact with peace of mind.

So I am sure you got Columbia's permission to use their branding? Doing otherwise would be "illegal"! Also how do you know the 600,000 were "illegal"? They all went through an auditable due process in the courts? Not doing that may very likely be "illegal" too!
BREAKING: 600k illegals have been deported from the interior of our country in less than 365 days, with another 1.9 million self-deporting, totaling over 2.5 million illegals gone. A monumental achievement! We are just getting started.

Again #ChiaFixesThis as all transactions in a block occur simultaneously on Chia. The ability to do sandwich attacks at all disqualifies Ethereum from serious securities trading use cases. See: chia.net/2025/06/03/the-chal…
πŸ”Ž RESEARCH: Sandwich attacks on Ethereum drained nearly $40M from users in 2025, yet extraction has fallen sharply even as DEX volumes surged from $65B to over $100B monthly, per EigenPhi data. Monthly sandwich extraction dropped from ~$10M in late 2024 to just $2.5M by October 2025, while attack frequency remained high at 60K-90K per month. Most concerning: 38% of attacks targeted low-volatility pools including stablecoins and wrapped assets, with 12% hitting stable swaps where slippage is unexpected and especially damaging. Average profit per sandwich attack sits at just $3, with only six attackers generating over $10K total profit in 2025. Could the decline in sandwich extraction suggest growing adoption of MEV-protection tools among traders?

Manipulating is the right word and it would be illegal in most jurisdictions in traditional finance! #ChiaFixesThis by having all transactions in a block occur at the same time so sandwich attacks, front running etc can't be done. Find out more: chia.net/2025/06/03/the-chal…
⚑️ INSIGHT: Maximal extractable value is the maximum profit a block producer can capture by manipulating transaction order. Is it a necessary incentive, or a hidden tax eroding trust in blockchains?

Again #ChiaFixesThis with true decentralisation and over 30,000 full node spread around the world. All open for anyone to see at any time: dashboard.chia.net/d/em15uQ4… dashboard.chia.net/d/CL1X4UW…
AWS is down and then the internet stops working. But the blockchain, it never goe ... wait a minute. Scratch that. This sector is a joke. Everyone preaching decentralization and censorship resistance but in reality ... it's all 100% reliant on the cloud.

Science!
Huntington’s disease is brutal. A single DNA error β†’ toxic protein β†’ dead brain cells. No cure. Always fatal. Always inherited. But now? Science has flipped the script. How the new gene therapy works: 1️⃣ Huntington’s mutation makes a toxic protein that kills neurons. 2️⃣ Doctors infuse gene therapy directly into the brain through a catheter. 3️⃣ Neurons absorb the genetic code - and turn into mini drug factories. 4️⃣ The therapy blocks the faulty messenger RNA β†’ less toxic protein. The result? A 75% slowdown in disease progression. Patients still walking when they should be in wheelchairs. One man back at work after being medically retired. This is not science fiction. It’s genetic medicine, delivered in real time. Advanced science… To families living with Huntington’s, it feels like magic.

Well he is the expert on building crypto that breaks (and has to have a centralised call to restart it)
🚨 LATEST: Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko warns there’s a 50/50 chance quantum computing could break Bitcoin cryptography by 2030.

Upgrade to better DeFi. Upgrade to Chia vaults with clawback and true Peer to Peer trading (not peer to smart contract to peer). #ChiaFixesThis $XCH
🚨 ALERT: $6.5M drained from an active DeFi wallet. A wallet with 4+ years of trading and staking on protocols like Lido and Aave has been wiped out in a drainer attack. Losses exceeded $6.5M, including over $4M in stETH per @web3_antivirus. This shows how even experienced DeFi users can fall victim without pre-sign protection. [Brought to you by @web3_antivirus]

This seems to be a pretty substantial upgrade, putting in place some key elements for supporting @permutocapital launch plus many other items. Note it also removes support for Ubuntu LTS 20.04, which was the version used by many at Chia launch. So upgrade your OS if this is you!
🌱 Version 2.5.5 of the Chia reference client is now available for download. Upgrading is strongly recommended to continue farming on mainnet! This release includes a few changes which we’ve outlined below 🧡
