Exactly, I'm up on ETH. I bought some DOT and more MOVE recently too.

You mean when you bought DOT?

Polkadot has no power over what your exchange offers you. Only your exchange can answer that for you. Shoot them a quick e-mail saying `Hi, I noticed DOT and ATOM rewards have gone down recently and was wondering if there was a reason?`

Thanks, sure it all sounds good on paper, but how can I tell the small teams are getting the cores at 1 DOT, and the big teams are getting them for more? To me it sounds like a first come first served instead of smaller team smaller price.

The system is designed to be dynamic, meaning the price adjusts based on real demand. If you fix every core at 100 DOT, you'd either price out smaller teams or leave cores unsold when demand is low. Agile Coretime uses auctions and open markets to let usage set the price.

What a weird system. Seriously who comes up with these at DOT? I'd rather every core sold for 100 dot like it was said at the start.

You do you, but I’m happy avoiding leverage + memes, been buying XRP XLM HBAR LINK SUI ADA DOT FLR ALGO ETH - happy just buying and holding til its worth selling - pick up more in the corrections

So the vDOT I buy at Hydration has a lower ratio, it seems you could glitch the system since if you stake 1020 DOTS on Bifrost you get 1020 vDOT, then you sell those 1020 vDOT on Hydration and you get 1530 DOTs, then you stake those 1530 DOTs on bifrost and get 1530 vDOTs, how is this sustainable since you can glitch the system?
Can I buy USDT with vDOT or can I buy Kusama, Moonbeam, MYTH or Moonriver with it?
I saw on Hydration that the Stablepools pays you on vDOT, will this be the equivalent of DOT at 1:1?

Cryptocurrency's decentralized nature, while beneficial, unfortunately attracts scams. If you've been a victim in the Polkadot ecosystem, know that you're not alone, and taking action is crucial. While recovering lost crypto is tough, these initial steps can help you navigate the aftermath.
# The Harsh Reality: Scammed in a Decentralized World
Getting legal help for crypto scams is challenging because:
* Anonymous Scammers: Those responsible often hide their identities and locations.
* No Central Authority: Polkadot itself isn't responsible for individual scams.
* Borderless Crimes: Scammers can operate from anywhere in the world.
Despite these hurdles, taking these immediate steps is vital.
# Your First Footholds: Actions to Take Immediately After a Scam
1. Secure Your Remaining Assets:
* Move your remaining DOT and other cryptocurrencies to a brand new wallet with newly generated private keys. Your compromised wallet may still be vulnerable.
* Revoke any potentially compromised smart contract approvals on platforms you've interacted with.
2. Document Everything Meticulously:
* Take screenshots of all relevant information: the scam website, social media posts, messages, wallet addresses involved (yours and the scammer's), and transaction details.
* Save any communication you had with the scammer, even if it seems insignificant.
* Note the exact dates and times of all relevant events.
3. Report the Crime to Authorities:
* File a police report with your local police department. Provide them with all the documentation you've gathered. Even if they lack specific crypto knowledge, it creates an official record.
* Report the incident to your country's national cybercrime reporting center. For example, in the US, this is the IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center). These agencies often track larger trends and may connect your case to others.
4. Alert Relevant Platforms:
* Report the scam to the social media platform where you encountered it. This helps them remove the fraudulent content and potentially warn other users.
* If the scam involved a specific Polkadot project or platform (even if impersonated), inform their official channels. They may be aware of similar scams and can issue warnings.
5. Share Information (Cautiously) Within the Community:
* Describe the scam (factually and without emotional outbursts) in relevant Polkadot community forums or social media groups. This can help others recognize similar tactics.
* Avoid sharing sensitive personal information publicly. Focus on the details of the scam itself.
# Navigating the Next Steps: Potential (But Uncertain) Paths
1. Consider Legal Consultation:
* Consult with a lawyer who has experience with cryptocurrency or internet fraud. They can advise you on potential legal options, although recovery is often difficult and costly.
2. Be Vigilant Against Recovery Scams:
* Absolutely avoid anyone who contacts you promising to recover your funds for a fee. This is a very common follow-up scam that will only lead to further losses. Legitimate recovery is rare and doesn't typically involve upfront payments to unknown entities.
3. Stay Informed About Cryptocurrency Regulations:
* Keep up-to-date on any legal developments related to cryptocurrency fraud in your jurisdiction. Laws are evolving, and new avenues for recourse may emerge.
# In Conclusion: Taking Action is Empowering
While the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency presents unique challenges for recovering scammed funds, taking these immediate and subsequent steps is crucial. Reporting the crime, documenting everything, and warning others are essential actions that can contribute to a safer ecosystem and potentially aid in broader investigations. Remember, you are not alone, and taking these footholds can provide a sense of direction in a difficult situation.

Meh they don't seem overly promising projects at the moment. POL used to be promising but has done next to nothing over the past 2 years. ATOM I don't follow too closely but don't think they're really getting up to much.. DOT would be the one out of these 3 I have the most hope for.
But it is crypto, which means basically anything in the mid to high cap range has decent probability of doing irrational things so they all very well could explode during the next alt season

Why does DOT allow others to profit more from core sales than DOT themselves?

wow people are downvoting this hard? guess some actually hate DOT haha

Why don't buy it on the "primary" market for just 1 DOT ??

A Polkadot core has just been sold on the secondary market for 2000 DOT!

# Polkadot News
Asset Hub migration on Westend has successfully completed. Account balances, staking, and governance have moved off the relay chain to a parachain. [https://westend.subscan.io/block/26047261?tab=event&event=26047261-0](https://westend.subscan.io/block/26047261?tab=event&event=26047261-0)
This will eventually occur on Kusama and Polkadot as well, making it both easier to interact with these systems as well as allowing for more scalability. For details, see the FAQ here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XR3vL2p4QV0wC7FrlC8eN-q62BqNFTFElbj21wEmMGg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.vxykbd6ai7n7](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XR3vL2p4QV0wC7FrlC8eN-q62BqNFTFElbj21wEmMGg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.vxykbd6ai7n7)
The 2025 Q1 Treasury Report from alice\_und\_bob was published on the Polkadot Forum. [https://forum.polkadot.network/t/2025-q1-polkadot-treasury-report/12951?u=gr33nhatt3r](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/2025-q1-polkadot-treasury-report/12951?u=gr33nhatt3r)
Key insights: This was the first positive quarter for Treasury flow since reporting began, and Polkadot currently has 10 years’ worth of reserves. But note the Treasury is a renewable resource.
# Kusama News
Referendum 521, setting an asset conversion rate and thus allowing DOT Treasury spends on Kusama, is passing with 79.1% in favor. [https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/521](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/521)

I have seen at least 3 of these posts over the last few days 🤔 diversify, research, don't fomo in or panic sell out, wise to stay away from memes / leverage / telegram...
Personally my favourites are XRP XLM HBAR SUI LINK ETH ALGO DOT ADA FLR

Most Alts will not make their ATH. I'm holding a few of these. ADA, ERGO, FLUX, DOT, and ATOM. I think these are dead shitcoins now.
