This September saw another halving of ARRR, which doubled its stock-to-flow ratio and made newly mined ARRR 50% rarer. Our committed teams keep working to improve various areas.

There was a call for the best “ARRR!” as a Pirate Chain Halloween meme challenge with a current prize of 2,500 ARRR. The meme with the most likes at the end of Halloween night on October 31 will be the winner. Get your inspiration up and running and participate by posting your entry to the VamosVigilante X thread and vote for your favorites.

Our Copa Monero Soccer team unfortunately did not win the semi-finals this year, but we’re looking forward to next year’s soccer tournament.

The Trezor of Privacy Coins

Join Rafael LaVerde’s interview of our crewmate Mullroy, creator of the Pirate Hardware Wallet, which is now becoming a hardware wallet for many privacy coins. Mullroy explained the inspiration behind building the hardware wallet for a world in need to protect your coins where he saw the need for a device capable of holding ARRR, which was not an easy task due to the requirements of zk-SNARKs.

He shed some light on the current coins the device holds and the possible hardware upgrades for the device in a not-so-distant future. If you are serious about ultimate control of your coins, you may consider acquiring the Pirate Hardware Wallet device on bARRRter.com.

In Focus: End-to-end Encrypted Messaging (E2EE)

By Øswald Kardingson

At a time where privacy concerns are at an all-time high, messaging apps like Telegram, Signal, and Session have gained significant media attention. However, each comes with its own trade-offs and limitations when it comes to safeguarding user data.

One of the most powerful features of the Pirate Chain ecosystem is it’s Memo Field, a feature available in Pirate Chain-enabled crypto wallets that doubles as a secure, privacy-focused messaging system. Pirate Chain’s Memo Field allows users to send 512-character, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) messages that are end-to-end encrypted using Public Key Encryption (PKE).

This ensures that your messages are truly private, visible only to the intended recipient. And the cost? Incredibly low. For just one dollar’s worth of Pirate (ARRR), you can send approximately 12,500 fully encrypted messages, that’s an astonishing $0.00008 per message.

Unlike popular messaging apps, Pirate doesn’t require any personal information like an email or phone number, so you remain completely anonymous. This prevents any metadata analysis or identification by bad actors.

To further protect your privacy, Pirate Chain integrates both I2P and Tor connection options in its full node wallet, making IP tracing impossible. With the Pirate Chain Memo Field, you don’t just send messages, you secure them, ensuring unmatched privacy. No other platform goes to such lengths to keep your communication private.

Final Words

We continue pushing on our mission as a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, where people may be slowly realizing the need for real privacy in their cryptocurrency transactions. We strongly believe that privacy is a human necessity and a human right. Our technology is essential for business and every day people alike.
