Finally there's a tournament in Whale that isn't just soccer! Hallelujah.

Last time there was a tournament with a prize pool of $10K for 3 days on sports, in which I don't understand anything (and still took +4 TON and $20). Now there is a tournament with the same rules, but for 10 days and $5K in Dota and CS. This is already a more understandable sport for me.

To participate, you need to go to @whale, click on the ball in the center at the bottom, then scroll to the WHALE ESPORTS BATTLE banner and click "Participate". You don't have to pay anything to participate.

Then you can choose winners in any cyber sports matches and wait for them to finish. Points in the rating are calculated based on the amount of winnings * 10 (for example, $10 with 1.5 odds will be counted as 150 points).

You can even watch these games (along with millions of viewers). I'll throw in a penny again, because the probability of winning is still higher than becoming a millionaire with a hamster ?

Season 6 of the open league: for users

Open League has started or not - as always, nothing is clear and there are no announcements. Here's what is known at the moment: you need to brand 2 SBT (NFT) to your wallet. They will confirm your intentions to compete for a prize in the 6th season of the Open League, and you also need to get 6 more badges from projects on TON.

First NFT claim
Second NFT claim
6 badges from projects on TON

An interesting point: since September 12, many American services have closed access for Russian IP-addresses. And, as we know, a significant part of TON audience is users from Russia. Now nobody can read the Open League Season 6 rules, as they are posted on Notion. Fortunately, Meta has thought about this point and created a service that allows you to open the rules. Why TON Foundation didn't provide this in advance - discussed in the podcast with Vladimir Smerkis. Just disrespect ?‍♂

Anyway, branding SBT for now and waiting for announcements and instructions.

❤️ Thanks everyone for your support and love!

Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.

This was surprising for several reasons: 

1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram EU address for law enforcement”. 

2. The French authorities had numerous ways to reach me to request assistance. As a French citizen, I was a frequent guest at the French consulate in Dubai. A while ago, when asked, I personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France.

3. If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself. Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed by third parties on the platform he manages is a misguided approach. Building technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools. 

Establishing the right balance between privacy and security is not easy. You have to reconcile privacy laws with law enforcement requirements, and local laws with EU laws. You have to take into account technological limitations. As a platform, you want your processes to be consistent globally, while also ensuring they are not abused in countries with weak rule of law. We’ve been committed to engaging with regulators to find the right balance. Yes, we stand by our principles: our experience is shaped by our mission to protect our users in authoritarian regimes. But we’ve always been open to dialogue.

Sometimes we can’t agree with a country’s regulator on the right balance between privacy and security. In those cases, we are ready to leave that country. We've done it many times. When Russia demanded we hand over “encryption keys” to enable surveillance, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Russia. When Iran demanded we block channels of peaceful protesters, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Iran. We are prepared to leave markets that aren’t compatible with our principles, because we are not doing this for money. We are driven by the intention to bring good and defend the basic rights of people, particularly in places where these rights are violated.

All of that does not mean Telegram is perfect. Even the fact that authorities could be confused by where to send requests is something that we should improve. But the claims in some media that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue. We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day. We publish daily transparency reports (like this or this ). We have direct hotlines with NGOs to process urgent moderation requests faster.

However, we hear voices saying that it’s not enough. Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform. That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard. We’ve already started that process internally, and I will share more details on our progress with you very soon. 

I hope that the events of August will result in making Telegram — and the social networking industry as a whole — safer and stronger. Thanks again for your love and memes ?

To hold or to sell: dilemma with 30K TON amid market uncertainty

I didn't sell all of TON at $7.6 - now I'm in agony. Selling at $4.6 still seems reasonable, but greed is reducing my balance every day.

There is no bullish trend in TON, and all hope is that the TON Foundation will come up with a mechanic to increase TVL through an open league, and we will at least be back to $7 by November. But the certainty is less and less every day....

Pavel Durov still hasn't been in touch, and the media continues to discuss his extended stay in France. If he really stays there until February 2025, and then major TON unlocks begin, nothing good should be expected.

What do you think? Am I doing the right thing by holding 30K TON waiting for better times, or should I sell at the current price?

Major poured: the result for the week

Not even a week ago, my channel got more than 1 million new subscribers and the total number of subscribers passed 3 million. It's nice to see that Major keep their word and the result lives up to expectations.

If you can guarantee to get a million subscribers in a few days, I even wonder how many will be there after a month of being in the folders. At the moment, new channels are getting 1.7 million subscriptions in a couple days - these are really impressive numbers.

This whole process costs $10K, and to me, it's already more than paid for itself. But the most important thing now is to gauge the quality of the audience. Of course, time will tell how active and engaged these subscribers are. After all, quantity is one thing, but real interaction is quite another.

So if you want to become a "millionaire" and get your first million subscribers, write @warn and specify that you are from Vudi.

$MTK: Scam or not?

The Metatoken ($MTK) project has been in the center of negative attention, but the project team assures that they have everything under control and are not going to suspend presale, and tokens will be burned. According to them, all this negative information is nothing but a competitor's customized attacks. But it's worth remembering that these are just their assertions, and you've probably already read the article.

Today at 18:00 Moscow time a live broadcast with the CEO of the project is scheduled, where he will speak in front of the camera and explain the current situation. In addition, details about the listing and further development plans of Metatoken will be discussed on the air.

Let's watch closely and follow the development of events.

? How much is it worth to win Open League now?

It was correctly noted in the comments that Notcoin has 2.3 million wallets. However, most of them are inactive wallets such as one, two, three. That is, users have withdrawn NOT to their wallets, but no further use has been envisioned. Despite this, Open League's metrics count them as holdings because they have more than 1 TON worth of tokens in their token account. In theory, only active wallets should have been counted, which would have significantly reduced Notcoin's chances. However, it's not quite right to change the rules of the game in the process, so you have to play by the established rules. But adding Notcoin mid-season is also an exception, because other projects, such as $CAVI, have to wait for the start of the next one. So, hopefully they will at least think about it.

This message (material) is created and/or distributed without the purpose of disrespecting members of the TON Foundation, TON Society and the TON blockchain. And (or) by a person with no intention of disrespecting the members of the TON Foundation, TON Society and the TON blockchain.

How much does it cost to win?

I decided to calculate what would happen if instead of 0.3 KINGY via KINGY GM BOT, the minimum amount for Open League is 25 KINGY.

Cost calculation:
1. The fee for the first shipment is 0.13 TON.
2- The queue to get KINGY is over 80,000 people.
Thus, it would take 10,400 TON to distribute KINGY to all participants. Some of the funds will go back into the wallet and be used again to pay, so roughly estimate the amount needed at 7,000 TON.

Cost of the giveaway:
- 25 KINGY is equivalent to 1 TON.
- If 80,000 participants are distributed, this will amount to KINGY worth 80,000 TON.

Final Costs:
To finish in second place with a 99% probability, 87,000 TON ($696,000) would be needed. However, it is worth considering that some of the KINGY will be sold, which will reduce the "TVL change" figure.

At this rate, a prize of $130,000 doesn't look particularly attractive. So let's you purchase KINGY for 1 TON yourself and I'll charge you 80% of the prize ?

So, well, scammers and pyramids have been defeated, we can get back on track. Thanks to those who helped to find it all (Diamond Bazaar Community), those who responded to help with complaints (Kingyru Private channel) and Telegram support for promptness and adding Scam bars to channels and chats of the "House for TON" projects, and then deleting them altogether. Now, if they are also marked in the eplorers and @wallet does something about it, it will be a beauty. Mission accomplished.

For those who didn't redeem the previous post, there's their same instruction, only rewritten for KINGY. ?

I was also thrown about ten more of the same projects, but there is only budding life there and not a fact that they will be able to rise to the same level. It's easy to create a pyramid, but to get an audience and clients into it is a huge job.

For those who came from Dom to TON, I know there are a lot of you here now, urgently EXIT all possible TON to @wallet or Tonkeeper while you can. Well don't feel bad, referrals can be invited to good and trusted projects as well. Here are the ones I would recommend for recruiting referrals and for passive earnings:

- xRocket, the best bot for chatting and working with TON blockchain tokens. There is still a contest for $20000 going on right now, so make time. The referral system works perfectly.

- Cryptobot, a bot for working with TON and other blockchains. Rich p2p market and good referral system.

- Jetton (gaming platform). Soon it will be possible to invite referrals there, get interest for them and even sell invited active referrals as NFT.

- Well, and you can earn money on projects from @community_bot, if you become an active member of the TON community.

But in general, stay here on the channel. I talk about the whole life of blockchain and new projects that appear on TON. All newbies, experienced abusers and women over 40 are welcome ? .
