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。

US Government Suddenly Halts Anthropic's Strongest Model, "Quasi-IPO Stock Price" Plunges 3.7% Overnight

U.S. Government Halts Anthropic's Top AI Models, 'Pre-IPO' Price Drops 3.7% On June 12, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to shut down access to its two most powerful AI models, Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, citing national security concerns. The directive, issued by the Department of Commerce, required Anthropic to block access for all foreign nationals, leading the company to disable the models globally for all users. Anthropic strongly opposed the move, arguing the government's basis was a "narrow jailbreak vulnerability" and warning that applying such a standard industry-wide would effectively halt all frontier model deployments. The news impacted Anthropic's implied valuation in speculative markets. The Anthropic perpetual contract on Hyperliquid fell approximately 3.7% to around $1,627, down from highs above $1,800 following the models' release. Unauthorized tokenized products linked to Anthropic on Solana also saw significant declines. The models, launched just days earlier on June 9, represented a major capability leap for Anthropic. Fable 5 was its first public release of a "Mythos"-tier model above its flagship Claude Opus. The shutdown creates an ironic situation for Anthropic, a company founded on "AI safety" principles, and adds uncertainty to its ongoing IPO preparations. The company is actively engaging with regulators to resolve what it calls a "misunderstanding" and restore service.

SpaceX IPO Creates Trillion-Dollar Billionaire: Musk's Wealth Equals Half of Crypto Market

SpaceX's record-breaking IPO has propelled Elon Musk to become the first modern billionaire with a personal net worth exceeding $1 trillion, reaching $1.11 trillion according to Bloomberg. This staggering wealth surpasses the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin and equals roughly half of the entire crypto market's value. The milestone highlights extreme wealth concentration and the significant devaluation of the altcoin market, whose total cap has nearly halved since late 2025 as capital flows into large tech stocks. SpaceX's Nasdaq debut saw its valuation hit $2.2 trillion, with shares soaring from a $135 offer price to close at $161. Its first-day trading volume of $85 billion set a new global IPO record. Musk owns 42% of the company. Despite his wealth dwarfing the altcoin sector, Musk maintains deep ties to digital assets. He personally holds Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin, while his companies, SpaceX and Tesla, collectively hold over 30,000 Bitcoin, ranking among the top corporate BTC holders globally. His acquisition and integration of financial data tools into X (formerly Twitter) further connect his ecosystem to the markets. Ultimately, Musk's trillion-dollar status underscores the immense wealth controlled by tech founders, though this fortune remains largely tied to volatile stock prices rather than liquid assets.

Hardcore First Look | Ocean Embodied Intelligence Company 'Shihang Intelligence' Secures Record-Breaking 1 Billion in Funding, Zhu Xiaohu, Temasek Place Bets

Breaking News | Ocean Embodied Intelligence company "Shihang Intelligent" secures a record-breaking 1 billion RMB (approximately 10 billion yuan) in Series A financing, with investment from Zhu Xiaohu and Temasek. Author: Qiu Xiaofen | Editor: Yuan Silai Ocean Embodied Intelligence company "Shihang Intelligent" has completed its Series A funding round, raising over 1 billion RMB. This marks the largest single funding round in the global marine robotics field to date. Investors include upstream momentum funds from chip companies "Moore Thread" and "Kunlunxin," Singapore's state-owned investment platform Vertex Growth, and listed company Dyneo, among others. Existing investors like GSR Ventures (whose founder Zhu Xiaohu has invested for the fifth time), Vertex Ventures China, Hua Ying Capital, and Long Capital also significantly increased their investments. Founder and CEO Chen Xiaobo, a 1989-born alumnus of Harbin Engineering University, is a long-time expert in underwater robotics. He received the National Defense Science and Technology Progress Award at age 28 (the youngest recipient) and led the development of China's first commercial underwater cleaning robot. The funds will be used for core technology R&D, global market expansion, and building the industry chain ecosystem to scale the application of marine robots in complex underwater scenarios. The ocean is considered one of the most challenging environments for robotics due to low light, high turbidity, complex currents, limited communication, high pressure, and corrosion. "Shihang Intelligent" focuses on developing core underlying technologies for marine robots, covering six key systems: power, control, sensing, navigation, sealing, and deployment. Its robots are capable of operating at depths from 0 to 10,000 meters with full degrees of freedom, performing complex maneuvers, autonomous navigation, and multi-robot collaboration. Applications include ship cleaning, underwater security, offshore wind power, marine ranching, and seabed inspection. The company's order value for the first half of 2026 alone has exceeded 1 billion RMB. Its "Orca Robot" is used by major shipping companies and has performed maintenance on over a thousand large vessels. In April of this year, the company launched its ocean embodied large model "Cangqiong CEORION." Unlike traditional remote-controlled or pre-programmed robots, this model integrates environmental perception, task understanding, and action generation into a single end-to-end architecture. Trained on millions of hours of commercial operation data and simulation data, it covers 12 major underwater operation scenarios. In simulations, it achieved over 90% task success rate and over 70% zero-shot adaptation capability to unseen environments. A built-in physics reasoning module reduces collision risk by 80%, enabling autonomous operation even with weak or no communication. Recently, "Shihang Intelligent" was selected as a core technology partner for Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority national hull inspection and cleaning program. These advancements indicate marine robotics is moving from pilot projects to scaled applications, with real-world operations generating valuable data to continuously improve robot capabilities. CEO Chen Xiaobo stated the company will continue investing in core marine robotics technology, the embodied intelligence model, and global application scenarios to expand into more high-risk, high-difficulty, and high-value underwater operations.

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.
