1. Welcome to Chia News Weekly 2.0 your weekly journey through the chia verse. Excited about the group collaboration effort we have with Steve Stepp from https://thisweekinchia.com to cover even more topics than usual.
2. BIG PICTURE ITEM OF WEEK – Got um!! The folks pushing the malware “multithreaded downloader” have packed up shop and moved off. Be very mindful folks there is ZERO reason to download a blockchain file from anything other than the official Bittorrent torrent.
   1. Some interesting things happened right after I published that. A researcher was able to use a piece of software and capture that the keyring was transmitted to a remote host immediately after 
      1. Jon, does this point to the need for folks to be using the passphrase to secure their wallets for added security?

Chia Price

• 38.XX as of Filming time and that is following the general market trending. We did have a sag to the 36 range on the 28th and I noticed that volume was down on that day also. Austin, Can you tell us if there is a correlation there?
• Chia Cat should be making an appearance with the crystal ball this week at the end so stay tuned for that.

Chia News (Official)

• Chia launched their new NFT creators page and this is visually a very nice appealing page. However there may be some companies misattributed and omitted at the bottom.  https://www.chia.net/creators-nft/ Guys what are your thoughts on this?
• Chia released a video on Signatures for Chialisp. I watched this and it made me want to try again actually. Jon, did you get a chance to check this out yet? 
• I have a feeling Friday, after this airs, we could get “something” official from Chia. Any speculation?

Community Software Updates

• Spacescan has a new DID verification process. https://docs.spacescan.io/docs/guide/did_profile/ I have not had a chance to check it out yet but am looking forward to it. Have either of you used it yet?
• Mintgarden has a new version of their studio out now with the reuse puszzlehash integration to lower derivation growth. https://twitter.com/MintGarden_io
• Keyspace has released a SWIFT version of CLVM for iOS developers. https://github.com/keyspaceapp/swift-clvm Hopefully we can get some good contributions around this.
• Both Goby and Pawket had released updated versions of their clients with some new functionality.

Community Happenings and Web3

• Well it’s been slow for Community things this week. Guys anything Web3 or Metaverse related I am missing out on that happened?
  • Jon can talk about ETH jelly -> Chia Drop

Chia Price Predictions

• Chia CAT blew it last time, which goes to show why none of this is financial advice. My prediction is crabbing sideways and is based on nothing other than my love for crabs.
