Pirate Chain Newsletter March 2023 Recap
Ahoy Pirate! As our teams meet up at Edge Wallet’s headquarters in San Diego, our relationship with disruptive technologies like theirs continues to grow. AtomicDEX’s ARRR volume also keeps increasing, our hardware wallet is now available for purchase without any restrictions, and our pirate.black website is currently undergoing a rebranding. Nothing official yet, but our core developer team is actively researching various implementations while looking for 3 things in particular: MultiSignature, Trustless, and Post-Quantum Encryption.
Komodo’s proposal to convert PoW to PoS on their chain won’t affect Pirate Chain in any regard if implemented, and Polarity’s unfortunate past security incident did not affect Pirate Chain’s funds. Yet the wARRR bridge is still unavailable, and https://piratelife.casino/ is down until new notice.
Project Update
6th halving
Happy 6th halving Pirates!
The Pirate Chain halving for $ARRR happened on March 30, 2023 at 6:32:58 PM UTC, block #2,333,310 Block: https://explorer.pirate.black/block/000000002748177e92fd8879f0b436283b67bfb1d0cf5255e5edca58630232bc
The mining rewards have now been reduced from 8 ARRR to 4 ARRR per block. This means the annual supply inflation has now dropped below 1%. With a Stock-to-flow ratio of 127, ARRR is now more scarce than Bitcoin!
i2p
I2P is a fully encrypted private network layer. It protects your activity and location. If your interest is to make your ARRR completely invisible to anyone, you can do that to your Treasure Chest Wallet by adding i2p to your device. Follow the next steps:

LooTZ Think Tank 03/29/23
Another awesome weekly talk in the Pirate Headquarters! This time, Lootz shares some light on Monero’s project’s recent development ideas, which are not encouraging, and how, in combination with some controversial events in Monero’s past history, our fleet commander has thoughtfully decided to abandon Monero himself. LooTZ also makes a call for another marketing effort in combination with Qortals Community, as he feels Pirate Chain needs to be known everywhere in these critical times. Have a look here!
Lootz’s Think Tank 03/22/23
Lootz and Pirates talk about different coins they like. How some crypto projects are finally realizing zkSNARKS superiority and looking to play it in their chains as Lootz points out the old adagio ‘never put new wine in old wineskin’ as ZKP superiority technology might cause issues in their inferior chain technologies.
The long years battle between zkSNARKS vs RingCT is boldly being won by Pirate Chain. Tune in and learn about many other secrets unveiled by good old’ Legend LooTZ!
LooTZ Think Talk 15/03/23
In this talk, you’ll hear LooTZ and Polycryptoblog give us a Komodo refresh about their live streaming update.

They also discussed zkSNARKS, multi-signature issues, and ways to support Pirate Chain’s continued growth and usefulness in this lecture. Enjoy!

Final Words
Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.~ Edward Snowden
