The program aims to continue the "growth of the pop-up city movement" and "support technology-driven projects,” according to a post on Gitcoin.

Genesis Cat NFT Sells for $254K in Sotheby's Auction

The sale of the digital image from the Taproot Wizards project came as popularity surges for the NFT-like creations minted atop the Bitcoin blockchain's Ordinals protocol. All in, some 19 lots sold by Sotheby's raked in a combined $1.1 million.

Ethereum outage

The lion's share of Ethereum's validators rely on the same piece of software to power their operations. According to some experts, this could be a big risk.

Consider This from NPR - US troops in the Middle East face a growing challenge

Ever since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas almost four months ago, U.S. leaders have been afraid that the conflict will grow.

That could have consequences for American troops in the Middle East. Recently, U.S. forces have been attacked in Iraq by Iran-backed militias, for example.

Host Ari Shapiro speaks with NPR's Jane Arraf in Amman, Jordan and NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman about what all this could mean for troops in the region.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - More Seniors Saying No To Nursing Homes, Choosing ‘Aging In Place’

As the U.S. population ages, many Americans are thinking about what they want their golden years to look like. And more and more are saying “no” to nursing homes and “yes” to staying put. Aging in place is the practice of seniors staying in their homes with care from friends, family, and/or paid staff, rather than living in a retirement facility. It’s been gaining popularity as a way for seniors to maintain independence. Reset learns more about how to effectively, and safely, age in place with Mary Mitchell, columnist at the Chicago Sun-Times, and Margaret Laraviere, executive director of the Area Agency on Aging. Check out the rest of our interviews and conversations at wbez.org/reset.
