Alright #Cardano community, here we go - a simple change that will solve the pledge problem completely with no change to a0 required. 1/n 2/n Terminology that I will use:

Regarding the official #Monero account's misunderstandings yesterday, #IOG's Executive VP of Strategy, Rob Adams had this to say: 1/n #Cardano 2/n "Somebody said something about a backdoor, there's no backdoors in Midnight. I'm not even sure where that assertion would come from. There's nothing in the chain that says there is the ability for some random person to just get in and understand everything that's happening.
