Shytoshi Kusama Reacts To Shiba Inu-Themed Restaurant’s Live Broadcast

by

A Shiba Inu-themed restaurant in Australia started streaming live as part of its grand opening. Project leader Shytoshi Kusama noticed the widely publicized event and tweeted, “A great example of decentralization”.

Earlier, in Dec last year, Shiba fans announced the restaurant dedicated to the meme coin in the nation. Dubbed Shiba Wings, the chicken restaurant would come with a crypto ATM installed on the premises.

The restaurant will feature Shiba Inu with fiery wings as its logo, possibly suggesting the SHIB burning mechanism.

Touted to be Australia’s first ‘cryptoDINER, the eating joint, is set to open on the Gold Coast and will allow cryptocurrency payments for placing orders for burgers, hot wings, and beer.

The new restaurant would include support for the NowPayments platform’s payment system, which lets customers pay with cryptocurrencies to order food.

The founders of the restaurant claimed that Shiba Wings is also open to incorporating Shibarium, a layer 2 update that is designed to boost SHIB’s scalability on the Ethereum blockchain.

Notably, this Australian-based restaurant is not the only SHIB-accepting restaurant that is making its debut over the last year.

Shiba Inu Restaurant Sprang Up In Japan And Venezuela

According to reports, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba in February, revealed SHIB teaming up with Welly, an Italian burger chain.

As per a recent tweet, Welly, the Shiba Inu-themed burger joint, is planning to expand its footprint into Tokyo, Japan.

The team asked its “Welly pals” in the area to organize a meet-up but did not specify the activities that would be done over the course of seven days.

At the beginning of the year, Welly declared that its key priorities were opening new stores and expanding its franchise network. So, it could be logical to assume that Welly’s travel to Japan still had an expansion-focused objective.

In addition to that, another Shiba Inu branded food venture, titled Shiba food park debuted in Venezuela.

Meanwhile, the SHIB burn rate has once more shown a sharp increase as an astonishing quantity of meme currencies were transferred to “inferno” wallets.

Almost one billion Shiba Inu coins have been burned in a span of 24 hours, which is slightly less than half of the total number of SHIB that have been destroyed over the previous seven days. Shiba Inu, a well-known meme coin, has increased by more than 7% during the past week.


Shiba Inu Team Dispel FUD On The Puppynet Drama

by

Shiba Inu ecosystem was in the midst of a recent scandal pertaining to its layer-2 protocol. Concerns about the Shibarium beta testnet sharing the same chain ID as an existing blockchain were raised by a prominent member of the community.

“Chain ID is the simplest thing any Blockchain dev looks for first when deploying a Blockchain,” community member Steve wrote.

“As using an ID that already exists is just incompetent as your chain wouldn’t work properly and everyone trying to interact with your chain would instead interact with the other chain.”

“Why is it that it looks like shibarium test net has taken rinia testnet genesis file? Changed the name from renia. But forgot to change the chain ID,” Steve added.

Soon the issue spread like wildfire with developers and other leading community members chiming in, each coming with their own theories.

Things further escalated when YouTuber BitBoy entered the scene, threatening to expose the identity of Shiba Inu’s lead dev Shytoshi Kusama.

Kusama also didn’t hold back and took BitBoy on, requesting receipts and enquiring as to how his T-shirt sales were going.

In an effort to dispel some of the FUD, the principal Shiba Inu developer issued a number of statements in the Shibarium Telegram chat.

Kusama claimed that Puppynet and Shibarium both used the same ChainID number and that the creators of Shibarium evidently forgot to delete it.

Shibarium is not an open-source project, according to the Shiba Inu project lead, and forking would be against the rules.

He did stress that Puppynet is simply a testnet and that “multiple nets to address any bugs found in the current Puppynet version.” will be available.

Another developer also took to Twitter to dispel the misinformation saying that when the Alpha network was deployed, a few chain IDs were chosen at random: 417 [Alpha], 517 [Staging], and 917 [pre-pod/beta].

Shiba Inu Dev To Soon Deploy A Fresh BETA Iteration With New Chain ID

He admitted to not double-checking the date the puppynet network was launched because the aforementioned chains were not yet officially registered anywhere.

The concerned developer, Kaal Dhairya, also disclosed that a new version of the BETA network with a different chain ID will soon be launched.

Without getting into any fist fights I will be redeploying new version of BETA network with a new chain ID Fresh deployments will be rare in the future but are possible because we will still be in BETA phase. I wish good luck to the blockchain and hope we can all work together.

Shiba Inu Fan Addresses Elon Musk-Shytoshi Kusama Rumors

by

A Shiba Inu-focused account has refuted rumors of project lead Shytoshi Kusama being Elon Musk. Calling them “fake,” and “he is not Elon,” he expressed regret that nobody else has been clarifying this issue.

The rumors first surfaced when the Tesla CEO posted a cryptic symbol on Twitter on Feb 8, confusing his over 128 million followers.

Despite the fact that the tweet had only the letter “.” [dot] and had no other information, it caused quite a stir among the members, especially after it was discovered that Shiba Inu’s main developer Kusama also tweeted the same symbol on Twitter in December 2022.

While this may look like a mere coincidence, soon theories emerged that the two persons might be connected in some way or the other.

One such speculation doing the rounds is Musk being the pseudonymous Shytoshi Kusama.

To avoid stoking more rumors, it should be noted that the claims are unlikely to be true given the lack of information concerning Kusama’s real identity.

One of the top Shiba Inu developers and a co-founder of SHIB utilize the fictional name Shytoshi Kusama to hide their identities. This is comparable to the case of the creators of Bitcoin, who employed the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto to conceal their true identities.

These speculations, even though existed on Crypto Twitter for a long time, have gathered more steam after the recent confirmation of the launch of Shibarium beta.

Apart from this, the Twitter user SHIBARMY CANADA [Dezaxe] also began to clarify claims related to the PAW project.

Shiba Inu: Paw Is Not A Part Of Shibarium

According to him, it is not a part of Shibarium and has never claimed to be, but it wants to support the Layer 2 solution and build on Shibarium.

That said, the SHIB army is elated over the actions of not one but two high-profile wallet providers ahead of the beta launch of Shibarium, the layer 2 network of Shiba Inu.

As reported by TronWeekly, MetaMask has recently integrated a new feature with gaming giant Unity to boost the web3 gaming sector. Even Kusama himself has retweeted the post.

And another one is Exodus, one of the oldest non-custodial crypto wallets announcing via Twitter that it has “logged” Shiba Inu’s upcoming layer 2 networks with its asset team.

Shiba Inu’s Project Lead Reacts To MetaMask SDK Feature

by

Lead developer of the Shiba Inu ecosystem Shytoshi Kusama tweeted “!” to the launch of the MetaMask SDK in the Unity Asset Store.

Recently, the leading Ethereum wallet has integrated the gaming developer platform Unity which will allow developers to create innovative experiences with the help of web3 tools.

The newest addition is seen as a major step forward in enabling decentralized applications and gaming and making them accessible to the masses.

The announcement is reflective of the growing importance of the web3 gaming sector. The potential for growth is enormous given that one million users connect to web3 games every day over 48 blockchains.

The Shiba Inu community has reacted favorably to Kusama’s comments, with people expressing enthusiasm for the new MetaMask SDK feature’s potential. One person referred to it as “huge,” and another questioned how it related to the meme coin.

It needed to be recalled that the Shiba Inu team introduced Shiba Eternity, a collectible card game in a bid to add more utility to the memetoken’s ecosystem on Oct 6, 2022.

Created by Melbourne-based PlaySide Studios, the game features a Japanese martial arts theme that draws heavily from the Shiba Inu ecosystem. In the game, each player has a Shiboshi, a virtual dog that they are responsible for keeping safe from other players.

Overall, the launch campaign was a success as the game managed to top the charts for card games on the app store.

Shiba Inu Holders Are On The Rise

Prior to the anticipated release of Shibarium, a layer-2 solution that intends to enhance the Shiba Inu ecosystem by delivering speedier transactions at a reduced cost, among other significant enhancements, the number of Shiba Inu owners has been increasing.

Yet, there are still a number of unanswered questions regarding the use and release of Shibarium.

In order to perform transactions on the Shibarium ecosystem, Shibarium will collaborate with Ethereum. Processing it on the Shibarium chain will need a sizable portion of the transaction load the Shiba Inu ecosystem now places on Ethereum.

The layer-2 will also remove tokens from circulation in order to restrict supply and support price growth. Sending tokens to wallets that can only receive tokens but not send them, also known as Dead Wallets, is referred to as a token-burning method.

Shibarium will use $BONE instead of $SHIB as payment for transactions.

Shiba Inu’s Project Lead Came Up With This Ahead Of Shibarium

by

Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has launched a new website and intake system. According to the blog published by the team, the new site will contain projects proposed by developers, content creators, business owners, and job seekers.

It’ll allow us to meet the army and remain organized in the process. It’ll allow us to grow Shibarium’s reach with professional companies, and allow us to reset our relationships with businesses that we’ve connected to in the past. Finally, it’ll help us find the right validators.

As the intake system goes live, the team said it will be updating the Wiki and releasing further information about Shibarium’s beta launch soon.

Similar to other layer-2 scaling solutions like Polygon [MATIC], Shibarium aims to increase transaction speed and lower costs in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

The new network will let developers create custom tokens within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Users will be able to trade SHIB tokens without going via a centralized exchange thanks to the establishment of a decentralized exchange following the launch of the mainnet on the Ethereum blockchain.

SHIB tokens will have more liquidity as a result, making it simpler for users to trade them.

Kusama went on to say that all tokens and products available on the beta network are solely for testing, cautioning traders to keep an eye on new tokens that launch on the nascent network.

“Don’t get scammed and buy anything you’ll find on Shibarium until the Shibarium main net launch”

Shibarium’s beta release is anticipated to happen the following week. The official release has not yet been given a launch date.

Recently, Shiba Inu’s Kusama invited developers to join the Shibarium project.

Shiba Inu’s Upcoming Project Will Be More Than Just This

He advised the Shiba Inu community to embrace decentralization as a strategy for overcoming the enigmatic feline organizations that uphold the status quo.

Kusama also emphasized that Shibarium is more than merely a means of enabling the Shiba Army to use digital resources, such as tokens and NFTs, or to get access to virtual spaces like the Metaverse.

Furthermore, he said that the scaling solution will include burning Shib on every Shibarium project to build a global ecosystem, protecting each legitimate project, donating to a global network of non-profit organizations, and prioritizing the growth of Shibarium projects.

Shiba Inu Lead Dev Criticizes SHIB Army Over This

by

Shiba Inu’s upcoming launch of its layer-2 solution is keeping the community hooked. But now it seems the SHIB army is getting impatient as an exact launch date is yet to be announced.

Recently, the project’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama got a bit overwhelmed when asked again to provide a hint of the release date.

In his Telegram group called “All Things Shibarium,” he expressed frustration with the “lack of empathy” saying, “I’m pushing as quickly as possible and such a lack of empathy is the root of the issue.”

He claimed that he is basically tired of being harassed about it by the SHIB army and that this was one of the issues that is impeding the launch.

When asked if the launch would be delayed once more [some even suggested that 2024 be the new launch year, Kusama said that since he hadn’t initially established a specific date for the debut, it couldn’t be delayed.

The main developer teased members earlier this week with the mysterious phrase “things come way before May,” igniting rumors of an impending launch. He even went on to claim that the launch might happen sooner than they had anticipated.

Prior to that, the anonymous project lead announced that Shibarium was ready, and the community will receive the beta.

Last week, Shiba Inu’s price fell over 20% as the Layer 2 scaling protocol was speculated to go live on Valentine’s Day.

Shiba Inu Project Lead Locked Shibarium’s Telegram Channel

When members complained over the lack of excitement, Kusama responded that it was just “temporary”.

Still, he was unable to guarantee any precise information regarding the release.

With that, the Shiba Inu developer poured cold water that the scaling protocol would be released on Valentine’s Day, something he was hinting at before by suggesting earlier that it would arrive in a “heart-shaped box.”

As of now, Kusama has locked the Shibarium telegram channel saying that the group would be reopened once all documents were released. Till then it will only post official messages.

Nonetheless, there have been multiple delays with the rollout thus far. It was initially scheduled for Q3 of 2022, but it was later moved to Q4 and then early 2023.

Shiba Inu: Lead Dev’s Cryptic Message About Shibarium Lanuch

by

Shiba Inu main developer Shytoshi Kusama is contributing to the narrative that the release of the Layer 2 scaling solution may be sooner than anticipated as the Shiba Inu community excitedly anticipates the release of Shibarium beta.

The official Shibarium Telegram address was posted on Twitter by the primary developer for SHIB, who also instructed Trophias to “open the chat.” The primary developer for SHIB is quoted as saying, “This room will remain speechless until Shibarium is launched,” in a Discord snapshot shared by “Shib Dream.”

Shibarium’s beta launch was further heightened by Kusama’s modification of his Twitter bio to “caring for the life’s pine tree. Flute playing is quickly learned before Shibarium is placed in a heart-shaped box with a bow.”

Kusama compared Shibarium to a “pine tree” in a previous tweet, saying that it requires “water, sunlight, and correct soil.” In addition, he said that “even in the coldest winters, pines survive and thrive.”

Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) and Shiba Inu Prices Reach New Heights

Two important tokens of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, SHIB and BONE, have shown a significant climb over the last 24 hours as well as over the course of the last week overall, bringing them to new local highs. SHIB has fallen to $0.000012, but the value of the ShibaSwap Bone token increased to $1.50. Since yesterday morning, SHIB has increased 6.40% and is currently trading in the green at $0.00001221.

By now, BONE has displayed a slight retreat from the $1.50 level and is trading at $1.48. The token’s increase over the last 24 hours is currently 3.66%. The primary reason for the current growth of these two meme currencies is that the SHIB development team recently announced the impending debut of Shibarium beta version. Shibarium is a Layer-2 solution that enables users to conduct more transfers on the network without experiencing any network congestion, transact at low costs, and transact at a significantly faster rate than before.

The BONE token is intended to be used to pay transaction fees on Shibarium. This is the reason why the price has increased noticeably since the most recent news of the beta release. Additionally, users have been stocking up on this token, as the number of BONE holders has risen from 67,000 to 68,000+.

The impending debut of Shibarium has typically encouraged Shiba Inu price increase. The SHIB army has been anticipating it since the beginning of 2022. The anticipated increase in SHIB’s price is one of the causes of it. Developers of Shibarium want to destroy these meme tokens after converting a portion of transaction fees into SHIB. The community anticipates that by doing this, trillions of Shiba Inu will be taken out of circulation, increasing the token’s scarcity and bringing it closer to the desired $1 level.

Shiba Inu’s Mystery Developer Would Soon Disclose His Identity

by

Shiba Inu’s unknown principal developer also known by the fictitious moniker Shytoshi Kusama, whose words are eagerly anticipated by the Shib community, intends to go public.

This was revealed in a discord message dated January 21, 2022, from Kusama himself which was forwarded by a SHIB-focused Twitter account.

In that, the anon developer said the plan to reveal was taken after careful deliberations with his mentor, and that it is becoming unfeasible to “remain invisible” and “disrupt the industry” at the same time.

The message ends with a remark saying, “then the real fun begins.” 

According to sources, the SHIB army and the crypto community agree that Kusama should stop remaining invisible [using his alias] before the end of the year.

Since the inception of Bitcoin, many participants in the crypto sector have maintained their anonymity because utilizing this digital currency provides some level of privacy as long as no one knows the user’s public address. To this day, Satoshi Nakamoto’s real identity is still a mystery.

An essential aspect of the new cultural and technological transformation occurring in online culture is the protection of anonymity and avoiding being doxxed.

This is because there is a constant fight between the free flow of information and maintaining an individual’s privacy.

One of the most contentious identity revelations occurred when writer Kate Notopoulos published a piece titled, “We unearthed the genuine names of Bored Ape Yacht Club’s pseudonymous founders” in which she exposed the identities by using publicly accessible information connected to Yuga Labs.

Whether it be public or private, identity is a highly difficult topic in the crypto-verse. The secret to a more vibrant and diversified crypto community will be striking the right balance between being completely anonymous and having a public identity.

Nevertheless, Shytoshi Kusama’s decision to reveal himself might pave the way for others to follow.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem. meanwhile, has been teeming with important announcements.

Shiba Inu’s Shib Army Clarifies FAQs On its Newly launched Initiative

As reported by TronWeekly, Shiba Inu’s active fan group called the SHIB army has recently launched its own community network called SHIB VIP Social Network.

As of now, the team plans on moving things to Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network Shibarium and then eventually building on SHIB The Metaverse.

Shiba Inu: Lead Developer Drops Hints About a New Partnership

by

This holiday season, the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency community is ablaze with rumors as a result of lead developer Shytoshi Kusama’s “We are not alone” status update on Twitter.

Fans of SHIB are speculating about the status update on social media sites in the hopes that there will be more to come. Additionally, Kusama’s Twitter profile currently reads, “With a new fren…guess who?”

Shiba Inu community bracing for a major announcement

The army is eagerly awaiting more details on a possible announcement, though it’s not yet clear what it might be. Shiba Inu might collaborate with another cryptocurrency project, or it might have something to do with the eagerly anticipated release of the Shibarium Layer 2 solution.

Kusama earlier tweeted holiday greetings and emphasized the significance of 2023 for humanity, urging everyone to take advantage of these last few days before the year 2023. The developer most importantly stated that Shibarium would be available “very soon.”

Shibarium’s introduction would be very welcome news given the rocky ride the SHIB token has had this year. The meme cryptocurrency has lost about 90% of its value since it peaked last October.

It is important to note that SHIB fans might not want to interpret the developer’s most recent status update too literally. Kusama apologized last week to members of the community who believed they had been misled by a “special countdown” tweet sent out by Shiba Inu’s official Twitter account a few weeks ago.

The SHIB Social Network has been active for 24 hours, according to a tweet from the official account for the Shib army news website, @theshibdream, and users have begun to enter it.

Users of the SHIB social network can post their own articles and blog entries, play games, visit websites related to the SHIB, read the news feed, watch movies, and even apply for jobs.

The SHIB army is one of the most active and devoted crypto communities, and by launching the social network, they have further demonstrated this. It will be interesting to see if it gains popularity among SHIB fans as well.

Shiba Inu’s Shytoshi Kusama Expresses Regret Over Countdown Confusion

by

Shiba Inu’s pseudonymous developer Shytoshi Kusama issued an apology for the confusion regarding the special countdown while stressing that he is not personally responsible for every detail of the project.

Please note that I am not responsible for every detail of Shib (i.e. website). So I applaud Trophias and his team for the new design and totally understand how the countdown could have been misleading. Although not in control of that, I apologize for any confusion. Stay tuned.

It all began when the lead developer, as usual, teased an upcoming announcement last week that generated quite a buzz among the community members.

SHIB fans were eagerly awaiting the much-touted layer 2 solutions called Shibarium as evidenced by a myriad of social media posts that pointed to an imminent Shibarium launch.

Moreover, a number of community members began sharing animated images of countdown clocks on social media. Amidst the flurry of rumors, the meme token Shiba Inu also registered a brief surge of over 2% against the U.S. dollar.

It was reported at the time that the creators of the SHIB-centric L2 scaling project introduced Shibarium during the alpha testnet phase in a closed environment. The wallet application was the hardest element of the software development, according to the developers, but other than that, the outcomes were good.

Then, on December 15, “Shibakraken,” a member of the Shiba Inu team and a Discord administrator, tweeted a picture of an animated clock. On the same day, “Shib Trophias,” a separate community member, tweeted a distinct animated graphic of a clock countdown.

All these hints were thought to be referring to the debut of the L2 project Shibarium which was expected to launch this year in the third quarter.

Shiba Inu’s “Major Announcement” Turned Into A Major Downer

It turned out, though, that the “major announcement” was only an update to the team website. Many in the SHIB army were understandably dismayed by this discovery, and this did not set well with them.

Some users expressed their dissatisfaction with comments like “very underwhelming” and “quite amateurish” on the appearance of the website.

Kusama added that he was appreciative of the Shiba Inu developer Trophias and his group for updating the cryptocurrency’s official website. Trophias also took to Twitter to say that the website is “only the start”, asserting that developers cannot disclose everything at once.
