ADAUSDT
Cardano / Tether USD
crypto Composite

The storage required for Daedalus outgrew my hard drive, so I can't run the app, but I wasn't able to recover my passphrase first.
I haven't uninstalled all the supporting data yet, so it's all in there... I just can't access it.
I don't have a ton of ADA in the wallet so if it's going to be a huge lift to recover it, it's not worth it, but I'd prefer not to lose a few thousand dollars if there's an easy way to get my passphrase.
Any help would be appreciated!

How about you. Did you stake some? I stake some ADA already

I got into crypto around 2025. Back then it was mostly hype and price, but now I focus more on use cases, communities, and actual project development.
Some coins I’m keeping an eye on (not financial advice):
* Ethereum (ETH) – Backbone for NFTs and dApps.
* Cardano (ADA) – Long-term hold for staking and ecosystem growth.
* Solana (SOL) – Fast, active, lots happening in NFTs and apps.
* Bitcoin (BTC) – Still the benchmark.
* RYO Coin – Interesting because of its community and real-world payment focus.
Markets change, so my list probably will too. What coins are you watching right now, and why?

I got into crypto around 2024, and over the years my focus has shifted a bit. At first it was mostly about hype and price, but now I pay more attention to use cases, communities, and whether a project is actually building.
Here are a few coins I’ve been keeping an eye on recently (not financial advice, just personal interest):
* Ethereum (ETH) – Still feels like the backbone for a lot of things I use, especially NFTs and dApps.
* Cardano (ADA) – More of a long-term hold for me, mainly because of staking and the ecosystem growth pace.
* Solana (SOL) – Fast, active, and a lot happening on the NFT and consumer app side.
* Bitcoin (BTC) – Boring to some, but still the benchmark I compare everything else to.
* RYO Coin – I’ve been watching this one mainly because of the community and its focus on payments and real-world use, which feels different from pure speculation.
Markets always change, so this list probably will too.

Who would've thought ADA is even more stable than some other stablecoins

I've been working on a couple of Cardano projects and wanted to share them with the community in case they're useful to anyone.
NACHO Stake Pool ([https://nacho.builders/](https://nacho.builders/)) - A small, independent stake pool I've been running. Nothing fancy, just trying to contribute to network decentralization in my own way.
NACHO API ([https://app.nacho.builders/](https://app.nacho.builders/)) - A Cardano API service I built for developers who need access to node data without running their own infrastructure. The API is powered by the same relay nodes that run the stake pool, so you're connecting to real infrastructure that's actively participating in the network.
Features include:
1. Ogmios WebSocket API - Full access to the Ogmios JSON-WSP interface for chain queries, mempool monitoring, and transaction submission
2. Chain Synchronization - Stream blocks from any point on the chain using Ogmios's ChainSync mini-protocol, useful for wallets, explorers, or anything that needs to follow the chain in real-time
3. Cardano Submit API - Submit signed transactions directly
4. GraphQL - Query blockchain data via DB-Sync and Hasura
Pay with ADA - No fiat payments or KYC required, just pay with ADA for the credits you need
The checkout process actually uses the API itself to sync with the chain, monitor for incoming payments, verify confirmations, and credit your account automatically. Felt like a good way to dogfood my own service and prove it works.
This is still very much a work in progress. I built it mostly to scratch my own itch and learn more about the Cardano stack, but I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback from folks who try it out. Happy to answer questions or hear suggestions on what would make it more useful for developers here.

Cardano (ADA) & Shedding Light | Cardano Rumor Rundown #783 - Army of Spies

On the 5 year chart I think Bitcoin looks okay, not great. But some of these Alts like Link and ADA really do not look good at all.

"More promising"? So you think Cardano and Dogecoin are promising? In what way?
If you mean price, both ADA and Dogecoin are the only coins in the top 10 (on CMC) that neither surpassed their ATH in terms of price and/or market cap.

If you mean as chains, Cardano is over-hyped and under-delivered chain, whereas Dogecoin is a literal joke.

I wouldn’t say that my portfolio is made of bad alt coins. At the moment, the vast majority of it is made of alt coins (70%: AVAX, SOL, ADA, NIGHT, FLR, MON, ATOM, DOT, WCT, CC, etc.). But I’ve been rebalancing it over the past two months with the go-to coins (30%: BTC, ETH, BCH). I do believe in a diversification strategy, as much as I am convinced that I could simplify my portfolio even further
