Been in the pool for a little while and stopped receiving the dividends. Then I thought it was just for people holding liquid LBI as the pool itself has rewards too.
Would be awesome if it also count the LBI in pools 💯💯
I checked the last dividend run, and a couple accounts like yours that are only in the pool didn't receive div. But those that have both liquid and pool LBI did get div for both.
I've messaged the coder (@balaz) he'll be able to fix it no problems.

Argentine lawmakers are pushing to impeach President Javier Milei following a cryptocurrency scandal that reportedly wiped out hundreds of millions of dollars in investor funds overnight, according to Reuters.

The education of man has taken a long and winding road since its beginning during the first millennium B.C. Previous to that time, man’s education amounted to little more than learning how to survive, but after urbanization created free time, man began to think about the world around him. Then with the advent of written language, he began to create documents to retain their knowledge. Eventually, formal systems of education evolved when the old aristocratic systems were replaced by modern schools.
How did the Greek educational system evolved and how did it change over time? What influence did the Greeks have on the modern educational systems of today?
We delve into the significant economic shifts unfolding globally, with a focus on the transition from public to private debt. Highlighting the ongoing financial crisis in France, the speaker explains why institutional investors are moving away from government debt to corporate debt. Historical instances, like the Panic of 1907 and the Great Depression, are referenced to demonstrate how past financial crises have shaped current banking systems. The implications of geopolitical tensions, especially sanctions on Russia, and their effects on global economies are discussed. Additionally, the conversation touches on climate policy impacts on European economies and the role of gold as a neutral asset during geopolitical uncertainties.
The third area of influence of the Sophists was rhetoric, the art of speech. In Greece, unlike today, the spoken word reigned supreme over the written word, so rhetoric was seen as essential to politics and performance in the law courts. They not only developed the forms of speech but also a branch of rhetoric known as “inventions” designed to foster original thoughts and ideas.
Dialectics is the ability to argue both sides of a proposition -- a skill needed by politicians who wanted to convince others to support their positions. Protagoras brought dialectics to its classic form when he invented “eristics“, a debating method designed to confuse an opponent by taking points he had already conceded. Marrou calls this a combination of brazen cynical pragmatism and astonishing practical effectiveness.
The historical significance of dialectics is hard to overstate given its influence on the whole of Greek philosophy, science, and culture.
The Odyssey and the Iliad were the first textbooks of Greek education and every child was familiar with them. These hero legends described a society of kings and knights with the knights ordained as the nobility – honored by the king and serving as his warrior class. The education of the knights had two components: technical and moral. Technically, they trained for sport and for war. Athletic games were a way to excel and be recognized when there was no war.
The Sophists obtained new students by giving free “lectures” in public. These talks were pure marketing – attempts to convince any parent listening that his child could benefit from a Sophist education.
Regarding content, they concentrated on three different areas: politics, dialectics, and rhetoric. In the case of the former, Sophist teaching is often referred to has relativistic humanism as expressed in the saying “man is the measure of all things”. The intent was to apply education to real life, acquire knowledge of how to live a political society, and avoid discourse about things that couldn’t be understood, such as the nature of the gods.

We ended the last post on this subject in the middle of the fifth century B.C. At that point, the Persian Wars were thirty years in the past and the Golden Age of the Athenian Polis was underway. Without classical schooling, however, the likes of Pericles, Sophocles, and Phidias had to bring the Athenian culture forward on the back of their own limited grade school education. There was no “modern” school in existence to teach them philosophy and science like there would be later.
This is an excellent example of the time lag that always exists between culture and education. Culture is driven by experimentation and the spontaneous output of new outlooks, while education is a more conservative process of defining those advances in the form of a routine.
None of these early schools had the same impact as the Sophists, who began teaching in the middle of the fifth century. Their purpose initially was to produce capable statesmen, based on the new dimensions in Athenian politics. When tyranny fell, Athenian political life became free from its dependence on the aristocratic classes. Valor had moved from an attribute of the hero soldier to an attribute of the politician. But the Sophists were not in business to train all, at least not initially. They sought out the old aristocratic families who would more than
The first schools in the Aegean provided training in medicine, but these were not new models for learning like the schools of philosophy. Philosophers as far back as Anaximander had recorded their lecture material for the benefit of students. Later Xenophanes wrote in verse, critical of the immorality of Homer, and defined his own version of wisdom. Pythagorism became widespread when it became one of the schools created to teach philosophy.
On June 22, 1941 Germany launched its attack on the Soviet Union. Once it had moved forward by several hundred miles, an occupation political apparatus, intent on exploitation of the Soviet people, was put into place. Thousands of Soviet citizens were murdered in an attempt to remove all leaders who could organize resistance against the Germans. Before the war ended, twelve to fourteen million Russian civilians had been killed in addition to nine million military deaths.
Which people were more inhumane and barbaric: a) the Soviet Union and Nazis during World War II or b) the Romans during the time of the Empire?
Easy answer: a.
I just completed The Fall of Berlin 1945 by Anthony Beevor which shocked me and convinced me the Romans have nothing over the modern age as far as inhumane treatment of human beings.
Actually, I’d put the Soviets a step ahead of the Nazis if you really want to know.
In Plato’s mind, education was a state concern. Teachers should be chosen by the government and managed by a special set of magistrates. Students would advance through several stages of learning: kindergarten before age seven, primary school where they would learn gymnastics, music, and mathematics until age ten, and then secondary school from age ten to eighteen. After secondary school, the brightest of the students would begin ten more years of training with advanced studies in all areas. When those had been mastered, philosophical studies could begin.
Unfortunately, Plato’s system turned out to be too complicated for the practically minded Athenians. Frustration with the government’s unwillingness to embrace his model is reflected in some of the late dialogs which show bitter resignation.
So now we come upon Plato, the man who wanted to be a politician and had his hopes dashed when he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Associated with the right wing aristocracy that tried to gain ascendancy during the period of the thirty tyrants, Plato’s opportunities were cut off when the new Democracy rose again in Athens, turning him into an anachronism. Frustrated at this turn of events, he travelled to Syracuse in an attempt to become the tutor for Dionysus the Elder. But Dionysus wanted sycophants instead of teachers, making Plato’s political theories a bad match for the situation. After coming close to an untimely end, Plato returned to Athens in 387 B.C. and founded the Academy, a school of philosophy and political science.
The Athenian government would never have conceived of a government programs of the type we see today. The poor were certainly recognized and helped by the government when possible, but people believed that their success and well being in life was their responsibility – not the government’s. The government’s main role was to keep out the invader and provide basic rights that could be turned into a useful life for its citizens.
There were essentially no bureaucracies in antiquity until the time of Caesar Augustus. Augustus built the first civil service system by taking work that had previously been contracted out to businessmen and bringing it into the government. Even then, the goal of the bureaucracy was to manage the machinery of government, not provide for the public welfare.
The second reason for representational decay is the cultural relativism that has become part of the American fabric, splintering the unity of the people and eliminating the most important tool that can be used to influence Congress. The people can exert power if they are united, but when they aren’t, the special interests prevail. Somehow Americans have become convinced that they are more “different” than “like” other Americans. In other words, we feel that the need for individuality is more important than the need for unity.
Comparing the Greek Democracy to the democracies of today is complicated by perspective. We can document the development of the Polis over time and understand the dynamics at work easily enough, but when we look at contemporary political structures we find ourselves in the middle of something with no way to gain an external point of view. Political systems evolve over time, much time, and a decade is too short a span for analysis. I century is better, but even that is not a long time. Without perspective we’re left to speculate about the dynamics we’re observing and how they relate to similar forces seen previously.
In ancient Greece, during the time of the mature Polis, the political system was structured to include significant participation by the people. The council of 500 consisted of citizens from each tribe and the citizens were chosen by lot. The assembly was the main voting body for new laws and its members were any citizens who chose to attend the assembly meetings. Participation was a right, but also voluntary.
This Athenian system worked because people were interested in making it work and had a common goal of building a society that would prosper within the context of the their culture. People who cared to participate got involved: people who didn’t participate could not complain about the results.

Have a great week everyone.
Dividends are only for holding liquid LBI, right?
Dividends should go for LBI in your wallet and LBI in the liquidity pool. The only LBI that misses out is tokens listed on the market.
I'll check with our coder - as it seems that maybe there is a problem for those that are only in the pool and don't hold liquid.
Yeah, seems like it 😆
Been in the pool for a little while and stopped receiving the dividends. Then I thought it was just for people holding liquid LBI as the pool itself has rewards too.

I do think so.
A big network redesign is being planned, but on the basis of what I've read about it, it would be finalized in 2029 only.
Prepared for the altcoin surge!
Yes!
There remains a strong belief in the potential of crypto gaming.
Bitcoin shouldn't be classified as a Ponzi scheme.
However, memecoins certainly fit that description.
Memecoins don't fit the definition of "Ponzi schemes" either.
They are both permissionlessly created tokens pushed to the open market. The difference is that the marketing of memecoins are fraudulent.
