I withdrew less that $10,000 from the Commonwealth Bank today.
I was asked what I need it for?
I said to the teller, " aren't you supposed to ask this only if I withdraw $10,000+?"
She said, "Oh no now it's anything over $1,000 & even if you want to deposit $1,000, we ask you where you got the money from.
So I said to her, as she was being polite this time, that I withdrew the money to pay cash for all my purchases as the banks are closing down & closing ATM's. I also said that I no longer trust the bank with my money & that I think it's intrusive that the govt. wants to know this information.
She said that it is to prevent money laundering to which I replied that the govt. is the biggest money launderer there is.

StarkWare Announces New Cryptographic Prover Stwo to Boost Ethereum Efficiency According to CoinDesk, StarkWare, the developer firm behind layer-2 network Starknet, announced the development of a new cryptographic prover called Stwo at ETHDenver. A prover is a key component for layer-2 networks, as they generate proofs that are posted to the base layer blockchain, a crucial process in linking the networks and sharing security. A faster prover should lower transaction processing costs, reduce fees for users, and speed up transactions, according to the StarkWare team. In August, StarkWare open-sourced its existing prover, known as Stone. The new prover, Stwo, is named as a portmanteau of Stone and Two, and anyone will be able to run it and examine its codebase. Starknet appchains currently using Stone will eventually benefit from the Stwo prover, according to StarkWare. This news follows StarkWare and Polygon's announcement of Circle STARKS, a new type of cryptographic proof designed to make transactions faster and cheaper for zero-knowledge rollups. Oren Katz, COO of StarkWare, stated that Circle STARKS will be implemented in Stwo, helping to 'supercharge Ethereum by more efficiently generating proofs.' Katz expressed excitement that the new Circle STARK protocol, announced as a theoretical breakthrough just a week ago, is already being developed into a fast prover.$STRK $ETH $BTC #TrendingTopic #strkusdt #starknet #Write2Eam

StarkWare said: “Under the new unlocking plan, 580 million tokens held by early contributors and investors will be unlocked before the end of 2024, while under the previous plan, 2 billion of these tokens would be unlocked before the end of 2024.
