AVE! Something important happened for me last week: I became part of the @legiondotcc . From here on, I'm putting even more into making TheRepublic better every day! My path here actually started with a complaint. I was frustrated that getting on the whitelist for Legion sales felt out of reach, so I said so. That should have stayed a small post lost in the noise of X. Instead, James saw the post, took the criticism seriously, and left a comment inviting me into TheRepublic. Almost right after joining, I entered the favicon contest and placed second. Because I'd submitted original work instead of AI-generated content, I was then asked to refine the winning design and get it live on TheRepublic's site. There's a real difference between a post getting some likes and seeing your own work sitting in the browser tab. That was the spark: proof that what I was doing actually mattered to someone. Since then, I've tried to stay as active as possible: pitching ideas, reporting bugs, joining raids and other activities. Not many platforms actually listen to their community the way this one does. You say "this is annoying, it'd be great if it worked like this instead," and the next day it's already shipped. Here, what you say actually gets built. By the way, TheRepublic actually solved the exact problem I was complaining about back then, and not just for me. A lot of participants on the platform got the same shot. I landed a spot on the Squidrouter sale , even though demand for Legion was massive: the round was oversubscribed by 2,678% of target. On paper, the odds of landing an allocation like that should've been close to zero. Not with TheRepublic! None of that happens without @James_Gets_It , and I want to say that plainly: Thank you! Seeing how much effort he puts into making TheRepublic better makes me want to match that energy and give something back. Isn't this the foundation of a strong community? I think there's a good stretch of road ahead of us, and it's not just about landing a whitelist spot for the next Legion sale. There's a lot more coming. I'm doing the same things I always did, just with even more fire behind it now. If you haven't joined yet: Welcome! Ave Legion! Long live TheRepublic!

October 1–30 2,116 commits The Road was the centre of this month’s work: keeping your journey moving, making accepted work count, and connecting quests, raids, content and rewards without losing your place. There is also a new raid action menu, independent appeals, more useful Squad tools, shared research, and a substantial rebuild underneath the platform. THE ROAD β€’ Open a quest, raid or content activity over the page you are already using. Close it or press Escape to return to the same Road position. β€’ Your chosen tab stays selected when an activity finishes preparing. β€’ Undo skip lets you return to an eligible skipped stop, with server checks for availability and work already started farther along the route. β€’ Withdrawn sources, closed content campaigns and activities that can no longer settle have clearer recovery paths. β€’ Completed activities and replaced stops recover their recorded outcome without asking you to earn the same credit twice. β€’ Paid partial raid approvals can now count toward Road acceptance while the remaining actions stay open for correction. β€’ Rejected content can be corrected on its existing assignment. Editing a brief does not create another copy of the same prompt. β€’ Refill delivery and recovery have been repaired so the route finds newly available work more promptly. The map itself has received a broad performance pass: reused terrain and scenery, fewer repeated drawings and text measurements, lighter mission cards, bounded route calculations, and fixes for controls disappearing while the first surface loads. REWARDS THAT STAY WITH YOUR WORK Permanent crate and mystery rewards now accompany eligible Road activity. Each task keeps its saved offer; configured project rewards retain their own terms. Accepted eligible rewards go directly to Inventory, including work completed from another screen. Your Road still follows its configured order, and the normal activity VP is awarded once. Catch-up work restores missing eligible rewards while preserving items already issued or opened. Opening a crate or mystery reveals its saved result; closing the animation or refreshing does not reroll it. Inventory gained clearer stacks, history, selected-item links and recovery when a refresh fails. The old locked-VP award path has been retired, alongside repairs to legacy ledger and balance reconciliation. RAIDS: CHOOSE WHAT YOU DID New action-menu raids offer optional actions: β€’ Like β€” 2 VP. β€’ Repost β€” 3 VP. β€’ Send via chat β€” 5 VP. β€’ Copy link β€” 5 VP. β€’ Comment or quote repost β€” 5 VP each, from Legionary rank. WHEN A RAID POST DISAPPEARS On raids created from members’ campaign posts, Post unavailable? checks whether the target is still visible on X. If the post is confirmed gone, the raid ends and the Road moves on. Joined raiders who had not submitted proof receive their 5 VP supplies back. Proof already submitted keeps its review. An X outage is not treated as proof that a post disappeared. REVIEWS AND APPEALS A rejected raid action can be appealed once while its correction window remains open. A different reviewer checks the same saved evidence; the reviewer whose decision is challenged cannot decide its appeal. Reviewers assess the actions actually claimed. A Like without Repost needs only its own control, and the target post’s quality is not a reason to reject the raider’s proof. Overturned reviews feed a graduated reviewing-pause system. Staff also have clearer review-speed records, suspicious-pattern flags and timed-pause reasons. Verifier Center received fixes for queue sizing, scroll access, missing evidence, expired claims, reopened submissions and saved verdicts whose response was lost. A timed-out submit checks whether the verdict was saved before asking you to retry. Human reviews remain in Verifier Center. The obsolete Admin Reviews surface has been removed while community raid management stays available under its normal permissions. SQUADS, PROOF AND PROGRESSION β€’ Tasks/Notes brings shared checklists and mission notes into the Squad workspace. β€’ Leaders and officers can assign tasks and link them to quests; assignees complete their own items. β€’ Members can write notes, and Squad leaders and officers can pin important chat messages. β€’ Mentions remain visible while you are elsewhere in the app. Chat digests collect counts and sender names without copying message contents into notifications. β€’ Per-message Translate keeps the original alongside an automatic translation in your chosen reading language. β€’ Squad bios give leaders and officers up to 300 characters to describe their group. β€’ Later-joining members can open eligible missions, including work returned for changes. β€’ Explicitly Solo missions use one Your proof form with saved drafts and correction recovery. β€’ Shared reports show who has met the personal requirements and preserve the qualifying submission cohort. Squads can expand to 15 members through Treasury-funded slots. Legionary progression now requires 10,000 total VP alongside the required core quests and declaration. SHARE KNOWLEDGE WITH CREDIT Contributions brings approved reports into a members’ Research library when the author or submitting Squad leader chooses to share them. Sharing starts off; screenshots and review notes remain private. The public Research archive keeps full articles, author credit, source details and withdrawal controls. Article Creation quests add a formatted editor inside the proof form. Before submission, the task tells you whether approval publishes the article. Squad reports can credit a selected member as its author. HOME AND COMMUNITY TOOLS β€’ Live raids, source filters and history are brought together on Home. β€’ Phone and tablet layouts, scroll rails, card spacing, Treasury and review panels are easier to use. β€’ News rotates with pauses for interaction and hidden views. β€’ One Wallets dialog manages saved verified addresses from the account menu or supported activities. β€’ Leaderboards gained shareable links, clearer refresh states and recovery from expired pagination. β€’ The Zaps hub brings wallet selection and campaign setup together where enabled, with honest labels for unavailable provider data. β€’ Forum and Support gained content reporting, clearer moderation states, and controls to confirm or reopen a reported fix. β€’ Platform announcements gained audience previews, mute handling, delivery history and resumable sends. β€’ Linked News and quest scheduling keeps scheduled work unavailable until opening. β€’ Custom Leaderboard feed controls have clearer naming and guarded configuration tools. β€’ Community admin repairs restore SQL-backed walkthroughs, banner uploads, Activity Raffle controls, Telegram settings and current reward permissions. Community self-service announcements remain behind rollout flags. FOUNDATIONS AND RELIABILITY October brought the PostgreSQL cutover, production database tuning and SQL-backed app and bot services. Quastor gained safer gateway retries, complete snapshot publication, deduplicated promotions and confirmation that onboarding identity links were actually saved. Telegram gained the same raid action menu, corrections and appeals, with recovery that stops resurfacing obsolete work. Across the app, we reduced duplicate polling, batched repeated reads, deferred heavy parsers and views, compressed assets and uploads, and cut unnecessary re-renders. Specific fixes also cover missed chat after reconnect, tied history timestamps, quiz answer-key grading, stable Solo mission identity, withdrawn proof cleanup, unpublished leaderboard states, unavailable sprint boards, account restrictions and billing reconciliation. Availability follows community permissions and rollout settings. This update covers work through October 30. See you on The Road. Long Live The Republic.

The @legiondotcc community is the best. This absolute chad is hosting tonight's game and putting up $100 for the winners. Name another community where members are just like "Yea, I'll throw in $100" Give him a follow, he's a real one.
Joined The Republic back in June and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this kind of genuine support in public crypto. That old private-community energy β€” tight-knit, family-like, actually feels like home. Grateful to be part of it. We play every week and poker is easily the best one. For Bitcoin Whitepaper & Halloween week we’re running a special tournament. Main prizes are still VP points, plus $100 cash for the Top 3: 1st β€” $50 2nd β€” $30 3rd β€” $20 Starts 15:05 CET / 14:05 UTC Registration is already open β€” the link is in the community-updates thread (Discord link in the reply). The Republic is the strongest community in poker. Period. Other communities can come try their luck if they want. Most won’t last long. Think you can hang? Prove it.

Seeing lots of posts today about the AXIS team aggressively withdrawing funds. As they say HERE WE GO AGAIN! Not the first time I just look at a product and think, damn what's the point and impact. How can a multitude of trajectories through mouse and keyboard be useful. Training on compromised controls for wider audience reach? Seems like it, cuz I don't get the efficiency of such training. But of course once again for thousands of dollars infofi praises how it's so next gen and the future. Not judging, the influencers didn't make the rules, that's just the game. But damn this happens over and over, you just ask basic questions about the product's strength, and in response only GPT that gobbled up the Infofi praise And putting together the hype around trajectories + infofi, then what's happening now, well yeah 2+2=...
Does Axis Robotics actually help with robot learning? I was thinking about how the trajectories provided by users could be useful for training robots. This isn’t a complaint - I’m just curious. To train a robot, you clearly need data for it to learn from. But with Axis, the trajectory is given through a keyboard and mouse, which is a pretty awkward workaround. So the data ends up being more of a reflection of a human managing to control a robotic arm through a not-very-convenient interface. That means the quality of this data is questionable. For example, if you used VR technology with a well-implemented interaction system, it would be far stronger than controlling via a smartphone or keyboard/mouse. It would offer a completely different level of interaction - without the feeling of β€œplaying the piano.” I’m curious how valuable the data users provide really is, rather than it just being for hype and reaching a larger number of people.

The $DAT auction is landing on @Uniswap. $DAT is powering the next era of AI agent data infrastructure, and you can be in from day one. A lot of you asked how the CCA works. Here’s the short version: Set a budget and a max price. The auction runs for days. If the final price is at or below your ceiling, you’re in. If demand pushes the price above your ceiling, your money comes back. Don't miss it. πŸ”₯

I’ve explained the importance of @jumperapp & @legiondotcc many times. There are no paid deals in Legion’s system If you create quality content about a project early and add value, you get selected. Everything is organic. Those selected for $JUMPER will make at least 2x their investment, potentially much more if they hold. I’ve been participating in Legion sales for a long time, and I’ve always been happy with the results.

It’s great to see the SEC proposing merit-based private market access in the US. This will be a huge step forward. For too long, only the richest people have had access to the private markets. Retail has been missing out. And over the last few years, companies have been incentivized to stay private longer (so retail has been missing out even more at best, or become exit liquidity at worst).
