For a great number of Cardano Community members it was the "Cardano Whiteboard Video" that started it all...

On October 27th 2017 Charles Hoskinson posted a, now-legendary, whiteboard walkthrough of his vision for Cardano.

How did you first come to know about Cardano?
What got you excited?
Why did you join the Cardano Community?

We'd love to know! Let us know in the thread below:

Dear Cardano Community. There is a new channel called "Cardano English" which is inviting and/or adding people. Please note that this channel is not affiliated to us and we ask everyone to stay vigilant as things like this often end up being scams.
Dear Cardano Community.

We as the Cardano Ecosystem and their Ambassadors want to warn everybody for the so called pump and dump groups.

While it looks nice from the outside it actually is very dangerous for most of the people. For every person making profits there is at least one person who makes a huge loss.

Aside from that we honestly believe that Cardano is a project which doesn’t need pumps and dumps and if you are looking for quick returns and hype there are likely some other projects which are better for that.

People who advertise these groups will be removed without any prior warning.

⚠️Basic scam/fraud awareness⚠️

🛑If you get approached by someone over DM and look official, they are NOT. They are impersonating someone and you may be getting scammed.

🛑There are no deadlines with sending/redeeming/claiming your ada. Your ada is always safe as long as you know the seed words to your wallet.

🛑Never put your seed words into a website, no matter how official it looks.

🛑Giveaways are often a SCAM!

🛑We will never ask you to send ada to us or to a wallet you do not own. Don't do it.

🛑Never tell anyone your seed words (mnemonics).

🛑 There is no online Live Chat Support website.

Always STOP and double check before making any decisions and/or ask an official on the public platform.

⛔️Transactions are NOT reversible⛔️

Dear Cardano Community.

It seems that Blockfolio was hacked earlier and they are currently working to identify the issue. In the meantime, please ignore all messages from that platform. As a general rule of thumb, please follow and use the Twitter accounts [at]Cardano and [at]CardanoStiftung as the main sources of truth.

We have asked the Blockfolio team to keep us in the loop until the issue has been cleared and we’ll let you know when things are back to normal again.

Edit: see Blockfolio team follow up from here: https://twitter.com/sbf_alameda/status/1359111183094018049?s=21
