Bells复活:致敬居家挖矿时代(的短暂一夜)

还有人在 2023 年的今天拿家用电脑挖矿吗?回答当然是否定的,在专业矿工和矿机四处可见的今天,用笔记本尝试挖比特币等 POW 币种更多的是一种致敬过去的行为艺术,而非经济上的考量——毕竟说不定连电费都挖不回来。

但这种“复古”行为却在最近复活了。

12 月 5 日,狗狗币诞生 10 周年的日子即将到来之际,两个路过的吃瓜群众找到了狗狗币联合创始人 Billy Markus 在 2013 年发的推特,以及他在当时创造的加密货币项目——Bells。随后他们诞生了一个大胆的想法——他们联系上了另外一位 LTC 生态的开发者,并试探性地询问是否能够在这个特殊的日子里复活这个项目。

这位开发者在很短的时间内搞定了代码,于是项目重见天日。

有意思的是,由于年代久远,当初为这个币提供服务的矿池早已在时间长河中不知去向,整条链也停止了出块,几乎没有算力在这个废弃的设施上停留——这意味着,就算是普通家用机的 CPU 算力,也可以轻松挖出币来。

Bells 的设计机制十分有趣,每一组规定好的区块之间,矿工能够挖出来的币是随机的,而非像其他 POW 一样有着较为固定的收获。两台配置一样的电脑,同时连上钱包进行挖矿,结果可能是天差地别,运气好的话一次直接能够爆出 10000 个币,运气不好的话就只能获得基础收益了。

下载钱包、同步区块、开始挖矿——一切都回到了十几年前,更多人参与到这场挖矿行动中来,几乎同时各类场外 OTC 群也搭建了起来。

但算力的进阶比想象中的还要快,仅仅过了一晚时间,挖矿大军就完成了从 CPU 到 GPU 再到专业矿机的转变。而 F2Pool 更是宣布支持 Bells,这意味着这条链重新有了矿池服务——至此,这场挖矿游戏从怀旧复古运动彻底变成了与其他 POW 挖矿无异的专业竞赛。

目前,Bel 代币在场外的价格接近 4 USDT,按照这个价格计算,早期冲进去参与实验的人都获得了不菲的奖励。

随着越来越多专业矿工的加入,Bells 能否保持现有的态势继续发展?又是否会掀起一波类似的 POW 热潮?

在熊市时很难。但在近日的 FOMO 情绪下,我们保留这种可能。

Three Months, 35 Billion Yuan: Investors Rush to Grab the OpenAI of the Physical World

Investors flock to a physical AI startup as the race for the "OpenAI of the physical world" heats up. Ji Jia Shi Jie (GigaWorld), a company dedicated to developing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) for the physical world, has raised 3.5 billion RMB (approximately $490 million) in just three months, according to a report from investment media outlet Touzijie. The latest B2 funding round of 1 billion RMB attracted a wide range of top-tier investors, including sovereign wealth funds, industrial capital, and financial institutions. This brings the total funding for the young company, now valued over 10 billion RMB, to 3.5 billion RMB across three recent rounds. The company is led by Huang Guan, a post-90s Tsinghua University PhD with extensive experience in AI, autonomous driving, and entrepreneurship. Its core innovation is a "dual-pyramid" system comprising a five-layer data pyramid (from internet videos to real-world robot data) and a three-layer algorithm pyramid focused on world simulation, action alignment, and reinforcement learning. This system underpins its key models: the "World Action Model" (e.g., GigaBrain series for robot control) and the "World Generation Model" (e.g., GigaWorld series for simulating and understanding the physical world). Its models have reportedly achieved top rankings in global robotics benchmarks. Ji Jia Shi Jie argues that while current digital AGI excels in information processing, the next frontier is physical AGI—systems that can understand and interact with the real world. The company believes the field is approaching its "GPT-3 moment," a key inflection point in capability scaling. To achieve this, the company is pursuing a dual-market strategy. For the consumer (C) market, it launched the "SeeLight" brand and its S1 general-purpose humanoid robot, which has secured initial orders for deployment in real homes. For the business (B) market, it focuses on industrial automation with its Maker series robots, having signed agreements for large-scale deployment in factories, and its DriveDreamer world model for autonomous driving, which is already in use with over 30 automakers and tech companies. The report concludes that by bridging the gap between digital intelligence and physical action, Ji Jia Shi Jie aims to unlock a new wave of productivity, ultimately bringing physical AGI into everyday life.

What's the Connection Between Pinduoduo's Huang Zheng and Blockchain?

This text explores the unexpected connection between Pinduoduo founder Colin Huang and blockchain, as suggested in his article *Turning Capitalism Upside Down*. Huang argues Pinduoduo's core business is about managing "uncertainty." He posits that wealth flows to the rich because they absorb life's uncertainties (e.g., illness, job loss) that devastate the poor, who pay a premium for certainty through insurance or stable prices. Pinduoduo's model attempts a "reverse insurance": by aggregating consumer demand via group-buying and flash sales, it creates a large, predictable order for manufacturers. This certainty allows factories to remove risk premiums, passing savings back as lower prices, thus partially reversing the wealth flow. The key obstacle, Huang notes, is that an individual's buying intent is an unreliable promise. He then asks if blockchain is the natural solution for this "reverse insurance." The text elaborates that blockchain, through smart contracts with binding deposits, could transform casual intent into a costly-to-break, enforceable commitment. This replaces interpersonal trust with coded rules, making promises credible, pricable, and resistant to fraud. Finally, the author draws a parallel to Bitcoin, framing two paths to creating certainty: the "Pinduoduo path" of aggregating decentralized will into scale, and the "Bitcoin path" of locking rules into immutable code. Both sacrifice something—personal freedom or system flexibility—to manufacture trust and predictability.

The Storage Magnate Who Conquered a Trillion-Dollar Kingdom, Yet Ultimately Could Not Become the Richest

**Summary:** "The Memory Magnate Who Built a Trillion-Dollar Empire, Yet Never Became the Richest" explores the journey of Zhu Yiming, founder of GigaDevice (603986) and co-founder of the soon-to-IPO ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). The article positions GigaDevice, a fabless chip designer now valued at ~¥340 billion, as a prequel to the massive IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturer) venture, CXMT. Starting in 2005 with minimal capital, Zhu strategically "picked up the pieces" by focusing on niche markets like NOR Flash and microcontrollers (MCUs), areas major players were exiting. This allowed GigaDevice to grow into a diversified semiconductor company, maintaining robust profitability even during industry downturns by controlling costs. However, the piece argues that in the highly cyclical and capital-intensive memory chip industry, the fabless model has limits. True resilience and scale require the ability for "counter-cyclical expansion" – investing heavily during downturns – a tactic only possible for IDMs like Samsung or SK Hynix. This insight led Zhu to partner with the Hefei city government in 2016 to establish CXMT, an IDM focused on DRAM. Zhu's symbolic moves, like forfeiting salary and diluting his equity, were crucial in securing the massive state and bank funding needed. CXMT's equipment base is now valued even higher than that of BYD's vast auto manufacturing empire. Despite the potential for CXMT to reach a market cap of ¥1-2 trillion upon its IPO, Zhu's indirect stake in both companies is estimated below 3%, placing his personal wealth far below that of China's top billionaires. The article concludes that his strategic vision built a trillion-yuan memory landscape, but the capital structure necessary to achieve it precluded a personal fortune of similar scale.

XRP Ledger Daily Fees Drop Below $400 As Network Activity Question Returns

The XRP Ledger is drawing attention as daily network fees have fallen below $400. While low fees align with XRPL's design for affordable transactions and are often seen as a strength, the metric can also serve as an indicator of network demand and paid transaction volume. This data point of around $3,100 in weekly fee burn highlights the stark contrast with higher-fee chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The development fuels an ongoing debate. Proponents view low fees as a sign of efficiency and accessibility, while critics may question if the network is generating sufficient high-value activity relative to its market cap and payments-focused narrative. The article cautions against overstating the finding, noting a single low-fee day does not signify network failure. It instead adds context to discussions about XRPL's usage, especially alongside Ripple's broader initiatives in stablecoins (RLUSD), AI payments, and enterprise infrastructure. The report recommends monitoring for a fee rebound, checking transaction counts for a fuller picture, and confirming the trend via native explorers like Bithomp. It frames the story within a larger market shift where on-chain data, protocol updates, and infrastructure developments are becoming crucial alongside price action. The editorial stance is to present the verified data, explain its significance for assessing network activity, and avoid hype, positioning it as part of the daily crypto conversation.
