Crypto News: The Fed will hold its FOMC meeting this week, will they cut rates and signal the return of Quantitative Easing which could pump Bitcoin, Altcoins, and Stocks. Solana marks 5 year anniversary as network activity dips, Firedancer launch inches closer.Show Sponsor -

Solana needs no introduction. Ever since its inception, it pushed throughput scaling on a single chain, without the need of sharding or rollups. Despite its ups and downs that culminated at the bottom of the bear market after the FTX crash, it managed to not only survive, but build a vibrant community around crypto's (arguably) most prominent PMF (thus far).Join us for a fascinating discussion and learn about Anatoly's take on controversial topics such as MEV, concurrent block leaders (the equivalent of Ethereum's PBS proposal), L2 rollups, Solana economics, how to tackle potential exploits and more.Topics covered in this episode:How the original Solana vision turned outWhat makes blockchains valuableMEV & program writable accountsConcurrent block proposersCurrent bottlenecks for scaling SolanaMainnet vs. L2 rollupsFiredancer upgradeHalting the network vs. rollbacksSolana's scaling roadmapDoubleZeroWorst hacks on SolanaUI exploits, Bybit hack and smart contract securitySolana economics and the SIMD-0228 proposalFuture improvementsUse cases for blockchainsSolana mobileEpisode links:Anatoly Yakovenko on XSolana on XSolana Mobile on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Het Solana-ecosysteem heeft een druk jaar achter de rug. In het voorjaar liet het netwerk definitief zijn waarde zien door miljoenen transacties rond memecoins te kunnen verwerken. Maar hoe zit het met andere toepassingen? Te gast is Geale Simon Postma, ambassadeur voor de Solflare wallet en expert op het gebied van Solana. Later in 2024 werd op Solana Breakpoint in Singapore de nieuwe Solana Seeker telefoon gepresenteerd. De opvolger van de Saga blijkt een groter succes dan zijn voorganger, al lijkt dat vooral te komen door de memecoin-airdrops die ermee samenhangen. Ook werd er aandacht besteed aan Firedancer, de nieuwe clientsoftware voor het netwerk. De testversie daarvan, Frankendancer, draait inmiddels al. Memecoins speelden dit voorjaar dus een belangrijke rol in het Solana-ecosysteem. Het netwerk bewees hiermee zijn technische capaciteiten, al zijn er inmiddels ook andere toepassingen. Zo lanceerde Jupiter zijn eigen token en biedt Sling mogelijkheden om kleine bedragen naar Afrika te sturen, inclusief mogelijkheden om direct uit te stappen naar lokale valuta. Ook Triton ontwikkelt zich met RPC-oplossingen voor het netwerk. Er zijn ook nieuwe concurrenten voor Solana bijgekomen. SUI wordt vaak genoemd als mogelijke 'Solana-killer', al is dat op dit moment nog prematuur. Ook SEI probeert zich in dezelfde markt te positioneren. De concurrentie met Ethereum lijkt vooralsnog beperkt: beide netwerken vullen elkaar meer aan dan dat ze elkaar beconcurreren. Het wallet-landschap wordt nog altijd gedomineerd door Phantom, maar er zijn ook alternatieven zoals Solflare. Co-host is Remy van der Nagel.

Join Matt and Nick as they discuss why crypto prices rallied after Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. They also break down Germany's heavy selling of nearly 50,000 Bitcoin; upcoming cash payments to some FTX creditors; Ethereum ETFs; altcoin updates; and more.Key Takeaways Cryptocurrency prices rallied after the attempted assassination of U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump. In the hours after this event, Trump's odds of winning November's election jumped from 60% to 70%, according to Polymarket.Speaking of Trump, last week he was confirmed as a speaker at Bitcoin's largest annual conference, Bitcoin 2024. His 30-minute speech is scheduled for 2pm CT (7pm UTC) on July 27. This event will likely generate plenty of mainstream attention for crypto.The German government seemingly finished selling its stash of nearly 50,000 BTC it seized in late January. While it's unknown how much BTC was actually sold—and how much is left to be sold—the market will likely stop caring about this story.Certain FTX creditors are set to receive $12B–$16B later this year. While this will create some short-term buy pressure, it's unrealistic to expect all of this to go straight back into the crypto market.Among the altcoin updates covered: Solana's progress on ‘Firedancer' client and Starknet's proposal to add a staking functionality to STRK.

Bitcoin brushed off its all-time high of $69,000 on Monday, March 4, coming within just $150 of it before a reversal and flash volatility started. A lot happened behind the scenes, from the psychological reasons to another Coinbase outage. So, let's start with breaking down what happened, what the indicators show for the near future, and why MicroStrategy stock spiked over 20% before looking at Solana's chances of flipping Ethereum in this cycle.Further reading:Bitcoin traders dismiss ‘triple top' as BTC price stops $150 from $69K — William SubergBitcoin just hit a record in open interest — Lucas KielySolana needs Firedancer, ‘ChatGPT moment' to rival ETH, proponents say — Tom MitchelhillMicroStrategy stock spikes over 20% as BTC price continues skyward — Derek AndersenMicroStrategy set to raise $600M via convertible notes to buy more Bitcoin — Brayden LindreaReferences:CoinGecko Crypto Fear and Greed Index post on XSo, grab yourself a coffee, and let's get into it!Rise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

Anatoly needs no introduction. He is responsible for the creation of Solana and the emergence of high-throughput, next-gen blockchains. We had the privilege of covering a very wide variety of topics with 'Toly thoughout this interview. We start with ‘Toly's childhood, background, and the origins of Solana. We then move into some of Solana's core principles and how they differ from Ethereum. This serves as a natural segue into Solana's upcoming technical upgrades, changes to its fee model, learnings from other ecosystems, and what happens after Firedancer. ‘Toly also address some of Solana's key criticisms and open questions head-on, such as decentralization initiatives and moneyness properties.

Er is de laatste tijd veel te doen over Solana. De munt, oorspronkelijk bedacht door de Oekraïens-Amerikaanse ontwikkelaar Anatoly Yakovenko, werpt zich op als de meest serieuze concurrent voor Ethereum. Solana valt op door zijn hoge transactiesnelheden- en lage kosten. De laatste tijd is het daarmee ook de preferente plek voor nieuwe munten en NFT's, omdat het creeëren van een NFT-collectie op Ethereum simpelweg te duur is geworden.  Met Geale Simon Postma, die toepassingen maakt op het netwerk van Solana, spreken we over deze opvallende munt. Want hoe werkt het netwerk precies? Hoe verschilt Ethereum's proof of stake van Solana's 'proof of time' en hoe zit het met de initiële verkoop van grote hoeveelheden tokens aan investeerders, ver voordat het grote publiek Solana leerde kennen? Daarnaast hebben we ook aandacht voor de Solana Smartphone, genaamd de SAGA. De eerste versie leek in eerste instantie te floppen, maar door de grote hoeveelheid airdrops die exclusief via de smartphone geclaimd konden worden werd het stuk elektronica plots een verzamelobject. De tweede versie van deze Web3-telefoon moet in 2025 verschijnen.  Tot slot kijken we naar de waarde die Solana toevoegt aan het cryptlandschap. De mogelijkheden op de blockchain van Solana zijn technisch imposant, maar er is ook veel aan te merken op de mate van decentraliteit. Met ergens tussen de 1500 en 3000 'validators' is dat namelijk niet het sterkste punt van Solana. Het kost nogal wat om validator te worden en het netwerk maakt je (voorlopig) nog niet rijk.  Bovendien heeft de blockchain al een aantal keer last gehad van storing. Vorige week konden er vijf uur lang geen transacties gedaan worden. Wat zijn de voors en tegens voor deze 'Ethereum-killer'? En hoe ziet de toekomst van Solana eruit, bijvoorbeeld met de veelbelovende update Firedancer. Co-host is Daniël Mol.

On Tuesday, Solana suffered a network outage, just shy of a year since its last shutdown. The blockchain had to quickly get a new version out and notify its validators to upgrade to it and restart their systems before blocks could be produced again, resulting in downtime of roughly five hours. This was previously something that had happened regularly to the blockchain, but seemed to have been largely addressed over the past year. Lucas, the CEO of Jito Labs, which builds infrastructure for Solana and staged a highly successful airdrop last year that helped rejuvenate the blockchain, joined Unchained to discuss what caused the outage, whether it's something that builders on Solana should be concerned about for the future, recent improvements Solana has made to its technology, whether the implementation of Firedancer would have prevented this incident, and the promise of the Solana phone.  Show highlights: What caused the Solana blockchain's outage this week Whether Solana needs to have better quality control  Whether the halt of the network affects the builders in the space What recent developments in the infrastructure surrounding Solana give Lucas confidence in the network Whether the Firedancer client that's now in development would have prevented this week's outage The promise of the Solana phone Whether the network going down presents a setback for the Solana community in terms of recognition and momentum Whether financial companies will consider using Solana if these issues keep occurring Thank you to our sponsors!

On Tuesday, Solana suffered a network outage, just shy of a year since its last shutdown. The blockchain had to quickly get a new version out and notify its validators to upgrade to it and restart their systems before blocks could be produced again, resulting in downtime of roughly five hours. This was previously something that had happened regularly to the blockchain, but seemed to have been largely addressed over the past year. Lucas, the CEO of Jito Labs, which builds infrastructure for Solana and staged a highly successful airdrop last year that helped rejuvenate the blockchain, joined Unchained to discuss what caused the outage, whether it's something that builders on Solana should be concerned about for the future, recent improvements Solana has made to its technology, whether the implementation of Firedancer would have prevented this incident, and the promise of the Solana phone.  Show highlights: What caused the Solana blockchain's outage this week Whether Solana needs to have better quality control  Whether the halt of the network affects the builders in the space What recent developments in the infrastructure surrounding Solana give Lucas confidence in the network Whether the Firedancer client that's now in development would have prevented this week's outage The promise of the Solana phone Whether the network going down presents a setback for the Solana community in terms of recognition and momentum Whether financial companies will consider using Solana if these issues keep occurring Thank you to our sponsors!

Solana +600% no ano ; Avalanche +250%Conheça a avalanche: A Avalanche é conhecida por possuir três blockchains em uma só rede.Isso permite que a Avalanche solucione os problemas mais comuns que acometem blockchains mais tradicionais, como a Ethereum, aumentando a escalabilidade, a segurança e proporcionando mais descentralização.Através do mecanismo de prova de participação (proof-of-stake), a rede Avalanche dispensa a mineração de dados e gerencia informações na plataforma mediante a execução de contratos inteligentes.Além disso, a rede Avalanche possui sua própria criptomoeda, o avax (AVAX), um token que serve para estabelecer um sistema de governança na plataforma.Conheça a Solana: Solana é um dos blockchains monolíticos mais promissores do mercado.Mesmo após desafios como a quebra da FTX, instituição que mais apoiava a rede, o desempenho do criptoativo tem se mostrado resiliente conforme investidores precificam o crescimento do seu ecossistema DeFi, em conjunto com os avanços da Firedancer, novo client em desenvolvimento pela Jump Crypto, que promete aumentar a performance e escalabilidade da rede como um todo.

A conversation with Brian Long, co-founder of Triton One.Full show notes: solfate.com/podcast/37Watch this episode on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=oVhif85sv_IFollow the @SolfatePod show on Twitter for updates. Thanks for listening frens :)Notes from the showBrian has been in the Solana ecosystem since very early days. Pre-mainnet days. He and his company, Triton One, helped Solana Labs bring up mainnet in March 2020. Even to this day, Brian and Triton continue to be active contributors to the Solana ecosystem. Not only does Triton operate the public mainnet and devnet RPCs nodes for the public, Linus Kendall from Triton is one of the few active contributors of the DAS API and infrastructure that is vital to compressed NFTs on Solana.Triton has also been hard at work on improving the Solana RPC Geyser interfacewith Project Yellowstone. In this umbrella project, the Triton team is focused on several aspects of the Geyser interface to make many improvements. One of those includes Old Faithful, the effort to put the entire Solana history (200TB+ of data) on the IPFS network. This is especially interesting, not only because Solana produces so much data that grows rapidly every day, but also because it this is being not only theorized by engineers at Triton and Firedancer, but is also a collaboration with Protocol Labs (the creators of IPFS and Filecoin). Multiple Layer 1 blockchains working directly together. Find Brian and and Triton onlineFollow Brian Long on twitter - @BrianLongFollow Triton on twitter - @triton_oneVisit the Triton website - https://triton.oneFollow us aroundNickfollow on twitter: @nickfrostyfollow on github: github.com/nickfrostywebsite: https://nick.afJamesfollow on twitter: @jamesrp13follow on github: github.com/jamesrp13

To get out of a sticky situation, Kieran decides to go for the jugular and tell Will and Kym that he and Lauren are... DATING. Kieran pretends to be bashful but isn't pretending when he says he couldn't forget her eyes. The two then taunt each other with increasingly embarrassing "admissions." They split up, and Will heads to his parent's comfortable home, where he is kind as ever to the maids. He braces himself, and enters a room, where a blurred word stuns him. ***

Anatoly joins Mert to discuss his 5-year vision for Solana. In this discussion, we cover Solana's changing narrative, Firedancer's performance, Solana's shrinking hardware requirements, why Anatoly wants people to fork the SVM, the key to crypto adoption and why multiple slot leaders will be a huge upgrade for Solana!

A new validator client could soon improve the state of Solana going forward. Firedancer, an independent validator client, built by Jump, could make things better, at least on the DeFi front. The data suggests that Firedancer can enhance DeFi maturity by reducing latency times, thereby bringing decentralized exchanges closer to parity with centralized exchanges.~This episode is sponsored by Chart Prime~Elevate your Trading Game with Chartprime 30% discount Link ➜ https://bit.ly/3lZvR7M

MEV is a topic that keeps on coming up in recent episodes so I thought it was high time to do an episode covering it. Naturally, Lucas from Jito Labs came to mind since Jito Labs has built the first MEV-enabled Solana validator client and are a Solana expert. In this episode we chat about robots taking over in the world of construction, unpack what MEV is, contrast the MEV environment on Solana versus Ethereum, what is a searcher, should bot transactions be counted when calculating network usage, what is Firedancer and how will Firedancer impact Jito, what are we excited for on Solana this year and much more!

In this episode, Austin talks with Kevin Bowers, Chief Science Officer at Jump Trading. Kevin and his team are the brains behind Firedancer, Solana's second independent validator client. As Kevin describes the process of building Firedancer, it's clear that this episode is not only about building a validator client; it's about Kevins unique perspective on the 1% of computer science focused on making things as fast and efficient as possible. Throughout his interdisciplinary career, Kevin has again and again proven to be an iconoclastic thinker, unabashedly dissatisfied with the status quo. He expresses his unconventional views on programming languages, scaling solutions, data flow optimization, and more.  DISCLAIMERThe content herein is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, options, futures, or other derivatives related to securities in any jurisdiction, nor should not be relied upon as advice to buy, sell or hold any of the foregoing.

This is opposed to individual web3 wallets, which only require one signature. - Security - Multisigs spread the attack vector necessary for your assets to be compromised. By requiring confirmations from multiple private keys, a single point of failure is eliminated. - Collective Ownership - Multisigs allow teams to own and manage their on-chain assets together. You get to choose who is on your multisig. - Self-Custody - Your on-chain assets are always in your team's control. By securing them in a multisig, you forego the risk of centralized entities losing your funds.

Season 4 | Episode 6 In this episode of Bell Curve, we are joined by Eugene Chen and Lucas Bruder to discuss MEV on Solana. We compare Solana's MEV market to Ethereum's and then delve into the unique MEV challenges from Solana's high-throughput design. Our conversation then turns to Solana's missing mempool, spam reduction strategies, resource pricing, and a detailed explanation of Jito's MEV solution. Eugene and Lucas also shed light on Solana's fee markets, Firedancer, the role of latency, and the tradeoffs of CLOBS and AMMs (this one's spicy). - - Timestamps: (00:00) Intro: Pre-Interview (02:56) Solana MEV 101 (13:29) Spam: 58% of Solana's Compute is on Failed Txs (18:13) Jito's Design (25:06) Jito vs Flashbots Adoption (33:40) “Rook Ad” (35:32) Who Captures the MEV?

Anatoly Yakovenko joins us to discuss why Solana is building the most optimized, minimally-extractive L1. We start with Anatoly's updated view of Solana's value proposition, mobile focus and the significance of xNFTs. Anatoly then explains Firedancer's insane performance, Solana's localized fee markets and parallel execution, where L2s fail to scale, MEV on Solana, security assurances and more! You won't want to miss Anatoly's user-focused philosophy and clear explanations; he's a legend. And as usual, we start the episode with our analyst bullpen to discuss MEV Blocker, the ETH burn and MEV conspiracy theory, the MadLads xNFT mint, and Curve USD. - - Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (01:09) Hot Seat/Cool Throne (23:31) Interview Start: Solana's Saga Phone  (29:23) “Lightning Ad” (30:04) Helium's Migration to Solana (32:50) Solana's Vision (34:19) Firedancer's Insane Performance  (38:16) Localized Fee Markets and Parallel Execution (49:32) Is SOL Money?

Stundenull-Talk: Stefan Hund lädt Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmer ein, die erlebt haben, dass ihr Leben nicht so weiter geht, wie gedacht - und dadurch eine Transformation erlebt haben. Hol Dir den Impuls des Phönix (monatlich) Mein heutiger Talk-Gast: Florian Linn - FiredancersIhre "Stundenull" - Warum ging es nicht weiter? Nach 15 Jahren waren alle Möglichkeiten einer Weiterentwicklung erschöpft. Bitte erzählen Sie in 10-15 Zeilen Ihre Geschichte vom "Phönix aus der Asche", der Sie heute sind. Denken Sie bitte auch an die überraschenden Klippen und die unerwarteten Learnings. * Ich habe mit meiner Familie 15 Jahre lang unseren Traum gelebt. Meine Frau & ich haben unser Hobby zum Beruf gemacht und haben uns mit unserer FeuerKunst vom Festival auf die großen Eventbühnen entwickelt. Nach 15 Jahren Kunst, Kultur & Event über den ganzen Erdball verteilt kam die schwierige Entscheidung wie es weiter gehen soll und das war auch schon die schwierigste Hürde. Nachdem wir diese Hürde genommen hatten hat sich der Rest von alleine entwickelt. Jetzt arbeiten wir wieder zusammen und entwickeln ein anderes Hobby zu unserem Beruf… Was ist Ihr größter/schmerzhaftester Misserfolg, der gleichzeitig das meiste Learning für Sie gebracht hat?  Das wir mit unserer Künstlerischen Kariere nicht den Erfolg erzielen konnten (auch finanziell) den wir eigentlich verdient hatten Was ist DER Mythos in Ihrem Beruf/Bereich, den Sie entlarven möchten? Das man als Künstler selbständig sein muss & nicht davon Leben kann… Welche 3 Menschen / Figuren/ Ereignisse haben Sie am meisten beeinflusst? Meine Familie, der Unfall meines Bruders Wie können Interessierte Sie erreichen? Ggf. ein Goodie? * florian_linn@icloud.com Dankeschön (C) 2022 Stefan Hund, Stundenull-talk

Lauren accosts Kieran in the locker room, where she tells him they need to talk. They walk to a nearby alleyway, with Will watching them. Relations between thenm are tense, but business must be attended to. Lauren and Kieran discuss what to do about the leader's directive to find and kill Lune. Kieran is highly uncomfortable at first, but comforted by the fact that Lauren is willing to work with him. They settle on a plan, and before Lauren leaves, Kieran asks her why she was late this morning, but Lauren brushes him off with a cutting remark letting him know that things between them are NOT ok. At the Golden Clover, Bella goes to report to Messenger VII that Tim Sake is having trouble keeping his mouth shut and told a detective about his involvement with the Allendale Train bombing. She tells him the name was Sinclair and the messenger says this is problematic. Bella complains about being left out of the killing fun, and we learn of her rivalry with Kieran. The messenger leaves her with a final injunctive to have fun. ***

Season 2! The APD has a new archivist, and it's... Kieran! Lauren freaks out, especially when she notices that he has what seems to be a gun tucked into his pocket. She immediately thinks of all of her friends, dead at the APD. She steps forward to shake his hand, remembering all their previous violent interactions. Kieran steps out to the bathroom, and Lauren accosts him there and attacks him. Kieran tries to explain himself as Lauren beats him up, with no resistance from Kieran. He tells her about his new assignment as mole, but also his directive to kill Lune. Ha. Lauren laughs, accuses Kieran of being heartless, and stalks out, and Kieran is left alone, looking at his hands and hating himself. ***

We open with Kieran standing in the cave, alone and stiff, finally expressing his emotion by screaming and punching the cave wall with such strength that pieces of it dislodge. He and Lauren have very similar reactions. He goes to the river to peer at his hands, recollecting all of Lauren's accusations and an early kill, Chandelier Man. His memory of his choking Lauren is now tainted with blood, as is the reflection he sees in the mirror. Frustrated, he walks away. We cut to Kieran walking through a poor neighborhood, with poorly dressed children huddled against the walls, begging for money. Reluctantly, he gives them a few coins, earning him praise from the children that no doubt cuts through his heart. He opens the door to an abandoned church, strikingly beautiful but covered in cobwebs and vines and broken. He walks to a confessional, where momentarily his serious face fools us into thinking that he will break down, but no... He is meeting a Phantom Scythe messenger, with whom he speaks bitterly about his actions. Kieran receives a new mission: to find and kill Lune, as well as something else that we are not privy to. ***

Lauren leaves the funeral, and Will and Kym continue together to the reception. Will, remembering Kym's reaction to Harvey's death, asks her how she is doing. Kym talks about her feelings of helplessness, but then reverts to humor. When Will probes again, Kym tries to avoid the conversation, and they end up arguing. Surprise surprise. When nighttime falls, we see Harry Anslow sitting in the Tower. A guard informs him he will have a visitor (Lauren), and when walking away, steps into a puddle of blood. Hastily, he tries to make it to the emergency alarm, but is cut down by a sword before he can make it.  The killer reaches for keys and we see that the hallway is lined with dead bodies. Anslow thinks he is being rescued, but in short order, the killer, who is revealed to be Kieran (duh), does what he does best: kills him and drops a purple hyacinth. ***

The APD hosts Harvey's funeral, a somber, snowy event, with Harvey's grandfather heartbroken. Lauren, being a black and white thinker, struggles to have sympathy for Harvey and see any potential explanation for Harvey's choices. She leaves the funeral and heads straight to Ardhalis Tower, where she signs up to visit Harry Anslow the next day, seeking answers desperately. She acts impetuously, driven by her mission, and utters ironic last words.

Last one from my favorite arc! Lauren wakes up, shocked to find herself in Kieran's home and bed. Ever the detective/nosybody, she explores his home, surprised by how many books he owns. She pulls out several books: The Secret Garden, The Killing Joke, and the Man Who Laughs. We discuss all of these and theorize on how they relate to the story.

Another one of my favorite episodes! Kieran brings Lauren to his apartment, which is surprisingly homey and tastefully decorated. While discussing details they'd learned at the tavern, Kieran stitches Lauren up, skillfully and gently. Lauren wants to go home, but Kieran, bandaging her ankle, insists she is in no condition to do so, and must stay in his apartment. (It's a trope and we are here for it!) Later that night, sleeping in Kieran's bed (sadly, without Kieran in it), and in Kieran's nightshirt, Lauren stares out at the star-studded sky and wonders how she got there. Kieran, cleaning the blood off his carpet, wonders the same thing. This episode is filled with unexpected tenderness and intimacy, and we LOVE it. ***

Kym rushes off, and Hermann makes Lauren give her deposition. We discuss Hermann's reaction and character and hint: he's not so bad. We also have a Hermann theory by our theory master, Fwoot. Meanwhile, Will chases after Kym, who is in a world of her own and cannot hear him. Kym gazes at a music box in a shop window and Will and Kym converse about superheroes dying. We discuss Kym's reckoning with her mortality and use of the phrase "their clock stops sometime." Later, Lauren and Kieran are walking on a bridge and discussing Harvey's death. Lauren is furious, and Kieran takes her fury to heart, pointing out sadly that he could have been the one to kill Harvey. We discuss Lauren's black and white thinking as well as her hypocrisy. The episode ends with a plan to investigate Flemmings and a fantastic outfit. ***

Sample roasting is a critical part of any roasting operation. But sample roasting is not simply used for finding defects or even just for making purchasing decisions. It is also very important to use as a tool to illustrate what a coffee can do and where it fits in your line up according to your's and your customers tastes. Today we are going to be exploring what our guest, Mike Ebert calls, "Illustrative Roasting", and giving you tools, insights, mindsets, and best practices to use your sample roaster to its fullest capacity in helping your coffee reach its highest potential. As the founder of Firedancer Coffee Consultants, Mike is dedicated to helping clients create a personalized strategy to ensure long-term success. He works primarily with roasters, producers and retailers, drawing from his extensive experience in all facets of the specialty coffee supply chain to guide clients in reaching their potential. Ebert is an Authorized SCA Trainer; holding the professional level certificates in Green Coffee, Sensory Skills, Roasting and Brewing. He has had a hand in many positions up and down the supply chain and continues his volunteer work with the Specialty Coffee Association's Education Advisory Council as Co-Chair of the Education Content Committee. In our conversation we cover: Sample roasting for defect vs Illustrative  Roasting with Objectivity and planning use of coffee Priorities of sample roasting frequency Sample roast and cupping for buying vs development Taking into consideration the end user Translating from sample roasting to production roasting Selecting the right sample roaster Assumptions that get you in trouble SOPs and System for any and all roasters Links: www.firedancercoffee.com www.roastmagazine.com Subscribe to Roast Audio Articles!  https://www.roastmagazine.com/audioarticles/   Related Episodes: RoR #1: A Conversation w/ Anne Cooper of Equilibrium Master Roasters RoR #2: Exploring Quality Control w/ Spencer Turer of Coffee Enterprises RoR #3: Making Contingency Planning a Reality w/ Andi Trindle Mersch of Philz Coffee RoR #4: Practical Thermal Dynamics w/ Candice Madison of Royal Coffee / The Crown Oak RoR #5: Time and Color in Roasting w/ Morten Munchow of Coffee Mind” RoR #6: Buying Less and Doing More w/ Ever Meister 286 : Coffee Roasting Best Practices w/ Scott Rao  

With difficulty, Lauren thanks Kieran for, hm... SAVING HER LIFE. Kieran's first response is a sincere smile (melt), but he quickly turns to teasing. As a thank you, gift, though, Lauren tells him how she can detect lies. Their conversation gets more serious as Lauren asks him why he doesn't kill, and Kieran responds... seriously. But then Lauren asks one question too many, asking him about the hyacinths he leaves behind. Kieran obfuscates and quickly changes the conversation, pretending it's only about the royal symbol. We readers, however, are privy to a harrowing flashback: a younger Kieran killing someone and stringing him up from a chandelier (henceforth to be known as Chandelier Man), and looking at him with dead eyes. ***

Poor Kieran thought he was trying to seduce Lauren. He wasn't expecting Lauren, and neither was Anslow. Our femme fatale makes her way across the room with confidence, and sits sultrily at the table. It isn't long before she catches Anslow's eye, and Mr. Freckle Face plays right into her elegant hands. If his fate wasn't sealed before, it certainly was after he mentioned her pensive eyes. She drags him across the room, where Kieran makes quick work of him. Once again, Kieran and Lauren have prepared very well and know exactly how to communicate for an effective interrogation. NOT. Anslow thinks it just got windy in the room. Just as they are about to depart, Lauren, rifling through Anslow's notebook, finds something that shocks you. (The next episode will shock you! Click the link to out why!) ***

Poor Hermann. All he wanted was to drink his coffee, but instead he got a mysterious black and gold file. Back at the club, Kieran and Lauren are doing their best to be wealthy socialiates without a care in the world. Their dancing is elegant and their posture impeccable (thank you to Firedancer for pointing that out!), but their conversation is anything but benign. Can we also point out that all this close proximity is... ahem, sexy? Lauren is upset that Kieran knows some information about her family. She is also soon concerned because she spots, once again, Lady A and her butler, who are somehow always nearby. Pretty soon, Lauren spots Mr. Freckle Face himself, none other than Harry Anslow. She makes sure to get REAL CLOSE to Kieran to tell him. ***

Lauren and Kieran are in the cave, planning their next move. Kieran genuinely praises her and great banter ensues. They meet on a blue toned evening, Kieran dressed for the occasion and Lauren dressed for maximum suspicion - until she unveils and shows Kieran quite the sight, both in dress and weapons. We end our episode with some crack predictions. ***

Lauren takes over the investigation, and uses her special abilities to guide her questions, a skill Kieran unbegrudgingly admires. Taking a page from the Phantom Scythe's book, Lauren uses McTrevor's child to threaten him, showing her willingness to use morally ambiguous means to achieve her aims. McTrevor shows us that while he may be involved in nefarious activities, like many rotten people. he still has someone he cares about and wants to protect. Under pressure, McTrevor admits to his collaboration with the Phantom Scythe with a measure of exultant glee, which quickly fades away as Lauren and Kieran get into a squabble about the now epic designation. Lauren plays a game of hot and cold with McTrevor, and finds some incriminating paperwork, which she requisitions. Right on time, she and Kieran swoop out the window as the APD pulls in, only to find McTrevor alone in his room, tied to a chair in his pajamas. ***
