Buy Tesla With Bitcoin

Elon Musk said via Twitter that Tesla had begun letting those interested to buy Tesla with Bitcoin to do so. He also said the company will not swap the Bitcoin for $ at the point of sale. If you pay Tesla in Bitcoin, that Bitcoin will stay as Bitcoin. 

A couple of notes, of course, us here locally, it might be impossible to purchase Tesla, but it’s just interesting to highlight the process that the company laid out to Bitcoiners.

1. There’s a 30-minute time window to complete the purchase
2. No early-adopter discount
3. “IF YOU INPUT THE BITCOIN ADDRESS INCORRECTLY, YOUR BITCOIN MAY BE IRRETRIEVABLY LOST OR DESTROYED.”
4. “BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS CANNOT BE REVERSED. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO ACCURATELY INPUT THE ALPHANUMERIC CODE INTO THE RECIPIENT FIELD.”

^Yes.

Hut 8 Buys $30M Worth of Nvidia’s New Crypto Mining GPUs

Hut 8 buys, specifically, the CMP – Cryptocurrency Mining Processor – from Nvidia, so gamers can relax. 

The CMPs were made so that miners won’t buy the GPUs that are supposed to be for gamers, Nvidia’s bread and butter. 

Coindesk noted that Nvidia said before that it expects $50 million in total CMP sales. Hut 8 buys $30 million worth already, so that’s a 60% target reached.

“The machines “open up new opportunities” for Hut 8’s plans for diversified revenue streams, said CEO Jamie Leverton in a statement. The new CMPs will add roughly 1,600 GH of power to the firm’s mining capacity, which it will use to mine alternate blockchains. Hut 8 expects full delivery and deployment of the CMPs this summer.”

Uniswap to Launch V3

“‘In this paper, we present Uniswap v3, a novel AMM that gives liquidity providers more control over the price ranges in which their capital is used, with limited effect on liquidity fragmentation and gas inefficiency,’ it states.”

The new version further allows different pools to be created with different fees. Up to now, all trades in all Uniswap pools have had a 0.03% fee for trading. 

“Over time we expect increasingly sophisticated strategies to be tokenized, making it possible for LPs to participate while maintaining a passive user experience. This could include multi-positions, auto-rebalancing to concentrate around the market price, fee reinvestment, lending, and more.”

Finally, Uniswap v3 Core will launch under the Business Source License 1.1
