Terrausrt’s collapse dragged $ 40,000 million and thousands of investors. Its creator has just confessed deception

by

The South Korean who promised a financial revolution has ended up confessing a fraud of 40,000 million dollars. Do kwon, Terrausd and Luna creator, He declared himself guilty on August 12 in A Federal Court of New York for two positions: conspiracy to commit fraud of raw materials, values and electronic, and electronic fraud. The case exploded in 2022 with the collapse of its cryptocurrenciessold as stable. “What I did was wrong,” He admitted in Sala. As happened with Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX, the market digests the bill of an era of excesses. In his statement, Do Kwon acknowledged having cheated investors by not revealing the role of a trading firm in Terrausd’s recovery. It was part of an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office of the Southern District of New York that plans to request a maximum penalty of 12 years if it assumes its responsibility. Reuters remembers that Kwon was extradited from Montenegro at the end of 2024 and faced nine positions, including values fraud, electronic fraud and conspiracy to whiten capitals. The admission came almost three years after the collapse of the project. H2: How the ‘PEG’ was manufactured and how it collapsed Unlike other stablcoins backed by real assets, Terrausd was based on an algorithm that interacts with Luna, its sister cryptocurrency. The system allowed to create or destroy tokens from one and the other to maintain parity with the dollar. When Terrausd fell from 1 dollarthey could be changed to the moon, which reduced the offer and, in theory, stabilized its value. All this happened within the call Terra protocolwhich executed these operations automatically. The model depended on the balance between supply, demand and market expectations. The first alarm signal came in May 2021, when Terrausd fell below the dollar. According to prosecutors, Do Kwon said that the system had worked as planned: the algorithm had automatically restored parity. But, as he has recognized now, that version omitted a key detail. Financial Times explains thatActually, Kwon turned to a specialized trading firm that bought millions in Terrausd to hold its price. It was a deliberate and hidden operation that, according to the accusation, allowed to maintain the illusion that the system was solid. A year after the first scare, the system did not endure. In May 2022, Terrausd lost parity again, this time irreversibly. The algorithmic mechanism collapsed: Moon’s mass creation, aimed at containing the fall, caused a spiral that The price of both tokens sank. The collapse devastated with about 40,000 million dollars in market value and affected thousands of retail and institutional investors. The loss of confidence was immediate. What was presented as a robust stablecoin became a symbol of the opposite. The civil aspect of the case was resolved in April 2024, When a federal jury declared To Do Kwon and Terraft Labs responsible for fraud in a lawsuit filed by the SEC. The civil order imposed a sanction of 80 million dollars and permanent disqualification and interdiction measures, including the prohibition of making transactions with cryptoactive. In addition, Terraft agreed to pay 4,550 million in civil resolution. The company had already accepted the bankruptcy process, which conditions payments and leaves part of the compensation. Kwon could spend up to 25 years in prisonbut if it complies with the prosecution, the effective sentence would be significantly lower. The agreement contemplates A maximum request of 12 yearsas long as you collaborate and recognize your guilt. Federal Judge Paul A. Engelmayer will issue a judgment on December 11, 2025. Reuters adds that The Prosecutor’s Office will not oppose Kwon requesting a transfer to another country after serving 50% of his conviction. In parallel, the authorities of South Korea maintain open charges that could be activated once their process ends in the United States. Thousands of people, from small savers to institutional funds, were trapped in the fall of Terrausd and Luna. Since then, Terraft Labs accepted the bankruptcy procedure in the United States, under chapter 11, and advances in the liquidation plan. According to Reutersthe estimate of payments to those affected ranges between 184.5 and 442.2 million dollars, and the exact recoverable amount remains in review. As they are highly volatile assets, the current value is much lower than that they had in 2022. Refunds, if they arrive, aim to be partial and late. Images | FAQX ™ We Mining it.

Tamara was the background of the junk television barrel of the two thousands. Netflix has managed to reinvent it completely

by

The nostalgia It has absolutely unsuspected vericuetos. Who gets out of fashion Retro video gamesthe eighty cinema franchiseseven the looks that we thought we would not see anymore It is one thing. But recover an absolutely dependent television fauna from a very specific point of our pop culture (realities absolutely outdatedthe sagas of characters that seemed fiction but were very real, the excessive and openly feast aesthetics of the beginning of the century) is something very different. Superstar. The culmination of this return from that literally indescribable area of the two thousands has worked with the series’Superstar‘, a highly fictional chronicle of those years produced by the Javis, created by Nacho vigalo and issued by Netflix. Tamara and Margarita Sixdedos, Leonardo Dantés, Paco Porras, Tony Genil, Loly Álvarez and Arlequín make up an absolutely locked microcosm in itself and that is equally eccentric in the series. And a concert, tip. In a line curiously parallel to the argument of the series (which, we insist, is far from being a biopic to use), this new wave of interest in tamarism has the most unexpected effect of all: A YURENA MACROCONGERthe artist previously known as Tamara, on March 23, 2026 at the Vistalegre Palace in Madrid. The event will be titled ‘Yurena: the concert that was never’ and its promoter describes it as “A unique event that rewrites the story of an artist to which television turned into a phenomenon and time, in legend. “ Reinvent the past. The main characteristic of the series is that (unlike previous incursions of the Javis in certain areas of the past, such as’Poison‘) At no time is it intended to be a reliable portrait of what happened, but each episode focuses on one of the characters involved to tell that so television that is “its truth.” To the extreme: if one of them said he had Michael Jackson eating macaroni at his house, we see him; If another said that he was kidnapped by a sect that abused him and revealed plans for the underground control of Spanish reality, we see it. And what remains. Because the Spain of that time gives for much more: of the imitators of Chiquito de la Calzada (an indescribable phenomenon already in itself) to the guests of the program of Jesús Quintero, going through the fauna of the film of Jesús Cárdenas or the Guirigais that each night were mounted in the programs of Javier Sardá and Pepe Navarro. A true lack of control, noisy and subversive, which is portrayed and analyzed in ‘superstar’ with a very personal author, Vigalondo, where they are, on an absolutely novel plane, Tamara and David Lynch. Maybe the only honest way of seeing it. The return. Of course, ‘superstar’ has not entered the most watched international top of Netflix, because tamarism is an absolutely Spanish phenomenon, incomprehensible beyond our borders. But it has served to unleash a new wave of tamarist claim: the concert in Vistalegre will be its culmination, although as the artist says, She has never stopped acting. Because tamarism never left, it continued in our subconscious, waiting for the time to come back.

There are thousands of people hooked to streaming. One to 3,900 kilometers deep full of marine curiosities (and memes)

by

In the Submarine Canyon of the Sea of La Plata, near Argentina, something of the most curious happens: two powerful currents coincide. One is salty and warm. The other, cold and very rich in nutrients. The union of both is the Confluence Brazil-Malvinas And it is important in the Earth’s climate regulation. It is known that there is a huge ecosystem down there, one of which little is known and that, at the moment, it is being explored live by an underwater rov next to thousands of people who, since July 23, They follow their live emissions Through YouTube. The mission. These submarine cannons hide a varied species ecosystem in their recesses. In 2012 and 2013, the Continental I, II and III of CONICET expeditions (National Council for Scientific and Technical Research of Argentina) used fishing and drag networks to explore the bed, discovering new species and leading to the publication of more than 60 Papers. Now, in 2025, technology has improved and It is possible to explore depths up to 3,900 meters with a vehicle operated remotely. Continental slope IV: Underwater Oases of Mar del Plata Canyon. That is the name of this new mission, an expedition of CONICET in collaboration with the Schmidt Ocean Institute. As explained from the Council, “it is the first time that in the Argentine Aguas of the Southwestern Atlantic the remotely operated vehicle (Rov) is used, capable of capturing underwater images in ultra high definition and collecting samples without altering the environment.” The funny thing is that the adventures of this rov They are broadcast live through YouTube. The goal. In addition to studying the Argentine seabed as it has not been possible to generate 3D models of emblematic species to produce educational material. The one who has interest can access the data collected completely free through open repositories such as CONICET Digital, Bish and Genbank. Image | CONICET How is the thing going? According to Explain The CONICET researcher in the MACN and scientific chief of the expedition, Daniel Lauretta, “we are barely starting and we see incredible things: animals that had never registered in this area, underwater landscapes that seem from another planet, and behaviors that surprise even the most experienced scientists.” It also states that being able to broadcast it live makes “science is somewhat distant or inaccessible, and becomes part of the day to day. In addition, it forces us to explain what we do clearly, without turns, so that anyone can understand and enjoy it.” The memes. That streaming has become so popular, has undoubtedly helped the collective ingenuity when seeing comedy in the seabed. It is an unknown territory for most and the species that live there are striking. That is why it is not surprising that networks like X have been filled with captures, memes and funny texts with these species as protagonists. The capture of that sea star has gone around the world, but it is not the only one. As for whatever, users have baptized it as “Estrella Culona” | Image: Xataka Argentina Caught in fraganti | Image: Xataka Argentina A violet benthodytes. His nickname: Batatita | Image: Xataka Argentina “Me and the boys together to see a stream of the CONICET,” says an X user | Image: @Genaro23101 Jokes apart, why there? The Malvinas current moves north from Antarctica to almost Río de la Plata, dragging cold and nutrient rich from Antarctica to the Patagonian platform. This current is very important for Argentina and its fishing industry, valued at 2,000 million dollars According to Schmidt Ocean Institute. The current of Brazil, more superficial (700 meters or less), transports warm and salted water from Ecuador to Rio de la Plata. Where both currents collide a strong thermoclin that, in turn, and due to temperature differences, generates rotating currents that redistribute heat, helping to regulate the climate of the earth. As explained by the institute, “the mixture of these two mass of water so different probably creates conditions that facilitate the coexistence of temperate and tropical organisms, as well as species that can only be found in the confluence.” Hence this area has so much scientific interest.

The Morgue of Paris organized “Open doors.” And caused tumults with thousands of daily visits

by

The bodies in the Paris deposit lie, motionless, completely naked except for small leather shrouds. Each one has died for a different cause, and all impute the reasons. Some have been stabbed in the belly. Another has drowned, he is swollen and his skin exhibits a obscene violet color. Another has been crushed by a heavy machine in one of the factories of the French city, increasingly industrialized and implacable. They all have something in common. They lie in almost vertical tables, which allow them to contemplate, on the other side of large windows, the thousands of Parisians who spend every day through the morgue. All bodies in the deposit can be contemplated by citizens. And it has become the favorite show of the pedestrians. In the mid -nineteenth century, walk in Paris to pass in front of the deposit and See the bodies It was the entertainment of fashion among citizens. Of course, there was an excuse: to help identify those who still had no name. But the morbid seized the population and went to see the exposed corpses became an entertainment that went far beyond public service, to the point that appeared in The guides of the time of the Parisian shows that the visitor should not be lost. Under the name of ‘The Museum of Death’, it was organized an entire industry around the facade of the body depositand it was easy to find actors, juggers and street artists asking for money in the surroundings of the great windows. He French playwright Leon Gozlan He described it like this: “You will see the drowned just like you go to other places to see the latest fashion.” And the very Emile Zola wrote: “The morgue is a show within the reach of all the pockets and that poor and rich passers -by may see free. The door is open, whoever wants to enter” Paris Danger At that time, Paris was a dangerous city (like all the great cities of Europe): crimes followed and occupied the first flat of the newspapers. And not only that: at this time when Industrialization grew by leaps and boundsthe mortality in the factories was very high, often the injured did not even have family in the city, but they came from rural areas and had arrived in Paris in search of money to feed their families, so that the bodies remained days in the deposit until they were claimed. These exhibitions in the morgue was like an extension of the black chronicle: the Parisians read in the newspaper about a crime or an accident and immediately could Expand the information going to see the bodies to the windows of the deposit. 40,000 people came to go to the dead daily (for getting an idea: Before your fireNotre-Dame received 30,000 a day). A true morbid show without a paragon in the history of the city. An example of what people came to see: on November 8, 1876, two packages containing the dismembered body of a woman were found in the Seine. The body was rebuilt, covered with a canvas and placed its head on it. A grotesque and brutal aging … that four days later of the crimes came to see more than 30,000 visitors, 40,000 on the 13th and 14th, the morgue records reached 68,250 entries. Almost a week after crimes, which makes a state of considerable decomposition. Finally, the closing of the show arrived: the Morgue of Paris closed the doors to the public in March 1907, when Criticisms won the unstoppable increase in morbid. Many newspapers complained, because their chronicles of which bodies were going to be exposed were among the most read of the daily rotations. The new century had just been born, and they were to come much more terrible shows. Although a little more modest.

A tsunami that caused thousands of dead

by

He Magnitude earthquake 8.8 Registered this morning on the Kamchatka Peninsula, it reminded many of the earthquake and subsequent Tsunami that devastated a segment of the Japanese western coast in 2011. However, to find a precedent closer to the recent event we have to go back further in time, as of November of the year 1952. Some precedents. Specifically to November 4, 1952at 18:58, Spanish peninsular time, 3:58 am in the Kamchatka Peninsula. It is estimated that this day, the failure that separates the Pacific and North America plates slid generating an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 (it must be taken into account that the logarithmic nature of the scale implies that the difference between both events could be remarkable). The event happened almost 73 years ago is maintained as the largest earthquake recorded in the region, although the archives of the United States Geological Service (USGS) also highlight an earthquake that occurred in 1923 that reached magnitude 8.4. Both the Today’s earthquake Like 1952 they had their OSONRO EPICENTROS (At a distance of only 30 kilometers from each other), unlike the one that occurred in 1923, whose epicenter was in the coast of the Peninsula. The consequences of an earthquake. The 1952 earthquake was not only the largest registered in the region, it was also the fifth largest earthquake measured by the instruments of the geologists. This event also unleashed a powerful tsunami with waves of up to 12 meters captured on the nearby Paramushir Island. The NCEI records (National Centers for Environmental Information), body responsible for preserving data and geophysical information of US institutions, indicate that the 1952 event cost the lives of between 4,000 and 14,000 people, with estimates that place the number in about 10,000 deaths. Despite its magnitude, there is no direct record of direct damages cause of the earth movement in itself. As on other occasions, it was the posterior tsunami that wreaked havoc: the estimates of the NCEI indicate that 99% of the victims of the event would have died as a result of the tsunami. More than earthquakes. Kamchatka is a geologically active region. In the environment in which the earthquakes of 1952 and this year were given, the Pacific plaque moves in the west-northwest direction, at a speed of about 80 mm a year with respect to the North American plate. This implies that between the two earthquakes the plates moved about six meters, Remember the USGS. Proof of the geological activity of the region are also the numerous volcanoes located in the Peninsula. The volcanoes of the region They are still active (As you have seen during the last incident), but also make up an interesting ecosystem that led Unesco to include them in your list of the World Heritage.

thousands of layoffs and goodbye to factories in three countries

by

It is no secret that Intel is going through a complicated stage. The historic processor firm It has been dealing with a crisis for years that can no longer hide, and whose consequences begin to become visible. Since last March 18, the new CEO, Lip-bu Tan, has taken the helm After the departure of Pat Gelsinger. And he has done it with decisions that mark a turning point. The layoffs are only part of the plan: what comes behind points to a deeper transformation. A silent cut (and wide) Intel has not announced dismissals as such. But just read between the lines. In its financial report of the second quarter of 2025the company makes it clear that its goal is to end the year with a template of some 75,000 employees. That is a significant reduction with respect to the 99,500 workers with whom it closed 2024, According to Reuters data. In that interval there were already discreet cuts – Intel himself speaks of “template actions” already completed -, so the exact number of layoffs cannot be specified. But the magnitude of the cut speaks for itself. The plan is part of a broader strategy to reduce operating expenses, gain agility and improve efficiency. In fact, the company has recognized 1.9 billion dollars in restructuring positions only in the second quarter, and those measures are already directly affecting its global operations network. Intel adjustment is not limited to reducing template. He has also begun to cut his presence in countries where he had key projects in progress. In Germany and Polandthe company has decided not to move forward with the expansion plans announced in recent years. They were strategic movements with which he sought to strengthen his manufacturing capacity in Europe, but now they are left out of the new map. In Costa Rica, the withdrawal goes one step further. Intel will consolidate its assembly and test operations, moving part of the activity to larger centers that it already has in Vietnam and Malaysia. The message between the lines is clear: less dispersion, more cost control. The company has also announced that it will slow the works in Ohio, one of its star projects in the United States to adapt the expense rhythm to the real market demand. It remains to be seen if that turn will be enough to recover land in front of rivals such as AMD, NVIDIA or TSMC, who have not stopped gaining muscle while Intel retreated. For now, the steps that are taking a transformation process that will be long, uncomfortable and With global implications. Because when a company like Intel shrinks, it is not only about numbers: it is an impact.

Thousands of people recorded a B-52 at a fair. Shortly after, a commercial flight had to maneuver sharply to avoid it

by

Skywest flight passengers, operated as Delta Connection between Minneapolis and Minot (North Dakota), starred in an unprecedented incident on Friday. The captain of Embraer 175 turned sharply The plane during the approximation by distinguishing a B -52 bomber from the American Air Force too close to its trajectory, which caused surprise and alarm on board. In a video recorded by the passenger Monica Green and Posted on Instagramthe pilot excuses the passengers: “Given their speed – they were military, I don’t know at what speed they were going, but they were much faster than us – I thought it was sure to turn around. They greatly apologize for the aggressive maneuver. It took me by surprise. This is not normal.” An unexpected event that is being investigated The FAA opened an investigation into the event on Monday. Skywest clarified thatdespite having permission to land, the flight made a frustrated approach maneuver By sighting another aircraft in its trajectory. The company is also evaluating the incident from its side. If you wonder what a B -52 was doing in that area, I was fulfilling a scheduled overflow for the North Dakota State Fair, As confirmed by the Air Force. That event is held in Minot, where a civil airport and an air base coexist. The military statement specifies that “The tower did not report the commercial plane”And, after exceeding the fairgrounds, he was ordered at the bomber to move three kilometers west. Tiktok @Theruralrose user recorded the two aircraft in the air from the North Dakota State Fair Platform monitoring data Flightradar24 reveal that he Embraer 175 He made an abrupt turn to the right, recovered altitude and remained waiting before restarting the approach. FAA added that air traffic control in Minot is managed by an external companywhose operators have “the same training and qualification requirements as those of FAA.” Green told CNN: “It was a very right turn and then he went quite to the sides. I looked out the window and all I saw was the grass.” The Embraer 175 belongs to the E -Jet family, a range of regional aircraft manufactured by the Brazilian Embraer. It is a narrow fuselage design thought for short and medium radio routes. Normally it transports between 76 and 88 passengers according to single or double class configurations, with turbofan engines GE CF34-8E and a vCruise elocity near 890 km/h (Mach 0.82).

There is a youtuber broadcasting the Soterration works of the A-5 in Madrid. And there are thousands of people hooked

by

The phenomenon popularly known as “Retirees looking at the works“A recurring image in urban environments has been for decades. But new technologies have redefined that passer -by: a YouTube channel that broadcasts comments the advances of the megaobras of the A5 is the last incarnation of a phenomenon as old as the same cities. And this is its most recent plasma. Look at YouTube works. Travel is my thing It is the name this channel that contemplates in detail works, especially from Madrid. It started like A travel channelbut it has ended up focusing on different works in the capital: MADRINGthe Puerta del Sol awningsthe stations of Atocha and Chamartínthe new Castellana Park… And of course, that controversial mastodon and that is turning the south of the capital into chaos, which is the underground of the A-5, which has already dedicated A fortnight of videos. Many of this theme are around 25,000 views and already have almost 20,000 subscribers. A-5, in detail. It is not strange that the account focuses on the works of SOTERRATION OF THE A-5that affect Neighborhoods like Lucero, Aluche, Camp and Casa de Campo: The works began in October last year but it is from January when they have started Generate problems. Its objectives, among other things, are to reduce surface traffic by 90%, improve air quality and reduce noise. However, the problems follow each other as they are dodged The original planning: The capacity has been reduced by half in a three -kilometer stretch, generating large bottles, and specific closures and deviations are being enabled, which is giving rise to tremendous chaos. Why interests. All this gives as fruit A horrible summer to move around Madrid Due to the problems that are also generating the works by Metro, Cercanías, Metro Light and some of the aforementioned above. It is a problem that literally affects millions of people who move daily for the capital by public or private transport, so it has every sense of the world that they want to be informed. Accounts such as traveling is mine provide valuable information beyond official sources. The cliché of the retirees. Beyond the service that these accounts give, the truth is that the topic of retirees looking at works, thanks to accounts like this, acquires a renewed sense, but without limitations of age or free time. We are the digital version of That passerby that in his day Manuel Delgado defined as “he Flâuneur contemporary“.

It is a trend of digital content consumption that reflects interest, not lacking criticism, for urban transformation, and that derives from legendary accounts in networks such as Broken nation. In more recent times, he has gained great follow -up Erik Harley coining the term #PorMishuevismo, with which he invented a false artistic movement to denounce speculative architecture, urban corruption and waste in public and private projects. The success of satirical or openly critical accounts with urban transformation is what has generated interest in the excesses in construction in large cities.

In León there are small villages that are finding a peculiar phenomenon: thousands of “ghost tourists”

by

In the world there is good and bad touristsrespectful tourists and disrespectfulclean and others capable of converting places such as Everest either The Fuji In authentic stercolera, but much less common is what some peoples of the province of León are living. His municipalities are finding a kind of “Ghost Tourism”a drip of thousands and thousands of travelers that nobody has seen or heard or housed, but that in theory they have visited the town. Or at least he assures it A study of the INE. Multiplying the census by 24. Carbajal sources It is a town of León located about 50 minutes by car from the provincial capital and surrounded by hectares and hectares of cultivation. It doesn’t usually sneak into the news, but Monday León News He dedicated him A broad article which explains a peculiarity of the people: in summer there are few municipalities in which the population shoots more for tourism. According to A study INE experimental that measures the flow of tourists from the position of mobile phones, between July and August 2024 the town received 1,826 tourists. Many do not seem like many, but it is that INE himself acknowledges that in the Leonese town there are barely registered 76 people. That is, when the heat arrives, the summers multiply by 24 the municipal census. Next to nothing. “It’s a mockery”. Such data would be compressible if Carbajal sources had a natural park, an old fortress, parties known throughout the community or some other claim that explains that avalanche of visitors, but the City Council itself itself Recognize that this figure of 1,826 tourists (464 in July and 1,180 in August) is difficult to explain … and even more difficult to assume. “It is a burial,” nods The mayor of the town, Carlos de León Saluds, in León News. Similar opinion, Ana María Ortega, former mayor and councilor, Explain That one thing is that the influx of visitors increases in July and August for the people who returns to the village or visit to their relatives and a very different one that the data is triggered in an exorbitant way. “In summer you can triple the population, but multiply by 24 the number of inhabitants with veraners and tourists cannot be.” So … what happens? To understand that mysterious “Ghost Tourism” the first thing is to go to the prine sources. The data of the 1,826 tourists leaves a new “Experimental Statistics” of the INE that resorts to the signals of the mobiles to calculate different metrics related to tourism: the place of origin of foreigners arriving in Spain, the destinations that visit the Spaniards when they leave the country and the movement between communities, provinces and municipalities. The study has been prepared for a few years and always talks about the same: “Tourists.” If we consult the “internal tourism” data and more specifically the flows of “Interprovincial tourists” Residents in Spain, classifying the results by municipalities, the surprise arrives: in July of last year Fuentes de Carbajal received 646 and in August 1,180. In total 1,826. The question is therefore … how are those figures calculated that collide the mayor and the former mayor of the people? Mobile and antennas matter? The response is given by INE in The technical file From the survey: the data is related to the position of mobile phones and are obtained thanks to the collaboration of the country’s large operators. The approach is interesting and promising, but implies certain challenges. “The location of mobile phones is estimated from mobile phone antennas”, collects the institute itself: “This implies that the location of a mobile is not established with total precision, and the error depends on the concentration of antennas.” In summary, the more mobile antennas, the greater precision. Unraveling the mystery. The INE’s ability to analyze the data is also limited. The records on mobile location are anonymous and processed each operator, so the institute receives only aggregate data and in tables, without option to examine loose values. In rural areas it is also found that the low density of the network conditions the type of ‘cells’ with which it operates. By statistical secret, the institute also hides certain data. With that information about the Ortega table Slide that the balance of carbajal sources (which is so adjusted to what is perceived in the people itself) may be due to technical issues, such as coverage or that for some reason the data of other municipalities are added to those of the Leonesa Villa, thus blurring the real photo. Near Fuentes de Carbajal there are other villas with a balance of zero visitors. In Xataka we have already addressed the INE to ask him about that apparent mismatch. Is it the only case? No. León News Informs other equally striking, although none reaches the level of carbajal sources. In San Millán de los Caballeros, for example, the INE registered 1,648 tourists in July and in August 1,602, which adds 3,250. Again they may not seem like many, but it is that the town has 191 inhabitants registered. The same occurs in Izagre, of 137 residents and who according to the statistical institute receives almost 2,000 Veranians. “We don’t have great parties, just four performances during the summer,” remember the mayor of San Millán. “There are two campsites close to the people, but they are in the municipal terms of Valencia de D Juan and Villamañán.” Nor does the Izagre councilor achieve to understand everything that happens: “On central summer days, with the holidays, between 150 and 200 people can be reached in each of the villages, but reaching the 1,987 veraneantes in those two months cannot be.” Images | Zed Mendez (UNSPLASH)Google Maps and Wikipedia Via | León News In Xataka | It is increasingly easy to see from the road a crop that had never been dominant in Spain: the pistachio

In 2011 a mysterious series of numbers and letters appeared in Reddit. Thousands of people would spend years trying to decipher her

Fourteen years ago a Reddit user appeared called ‘A858DE45F56D9BC9’ and began publishing characters of characters, apparently meaningless, in a SubnetDit of the same name. For more than a year the publications went unnoticed until one day madness began. What followed was the creation of a community with thousands of obsessed people with solving the puzzle And, above all, know who was behind the one who is considered One of the biggest Internet mysteries. Reddit’s Stonehenge Although the user’s name was much longer, in Reddit it is known as The mystery of A858. Although the first publications arose in July 2011, it was not until 2012 when the Reddit community began to pay them attention. Some users attempted to disappoint the messages and there was one that made interest explode. The comment and the answer confirmed that A858 was not “something”, but “someone.” A user mentioned that A858 was Reddit’s Stonehenge in reference to Its function was a mystery. A858 responded shortly after with one of his classic encrypted messages. The surprise came when they discovered that it was an image in ASCII format that represented precisely that: the Stonehenge. Until that point he had not given too much importance, but with this it was demonstrated that Behind A858 there was someone human. And then madness unleashed.

He also behaved strangely: he disappeared, erased posts … the community was frustrated Only a few messages were deciphered by the community, including some citations of famous authors such as is from Max Lerner, Christmas greetings either References to April’s Fool (The equivalent of innocent’s day). The challenge was very complex from the technical point of viewhe used unusual obfuscation techniques, and there was not a clear pattern in his behavior; Sometimes he disappeared, he deleted posts, the submandit made deprived, Some messages were very easy to solve and others seemed impossible… This made the community frustrate and begin to lose interest, but then A858 appeared and everything was reactivated. Ask A858 Anything One of the points in the Subbreddit Solvinga858 was in 2015 when A858 made a mist (Ask Me Anything) where He attended to the numerous doubts of the users, although they also had to disappoint them. It wasn’t going to be so simple. Users asked him if they were wasting his time trying to decipher him, to which A858 replied that no, but I couldn’t tell them the goal behind the project. He also revealed that only a woman from the United Kingdom had managed to decipher him and expected more correct answers. Here you can read in fullbut then we highlight some of the questions and answers of the session: What is R/A858DE45F56D9BC9? The objective cannot be revealed. A858 published ASCII art drawings, prime numbers tables, Apple II source code fragments, etc. Were you playing with us? Because? Coded posts are designed to be easily resolved. And the other encrypted using a stronger encryption? The other posts are not designed to be easily resolved. There are often long pauses in which there are no A858 posts. Is A858 your only job? Sometimes we are retouching. Other times we are working on other projects. Are you doing this love alone or are we talking to the team of which you are part? A858 is a project with a team. I am a member of the team. Are you affiliated with a government organization? I don’t know any place that has no government. An unsolved mystery The question session fed even more if the mystery fits, but over time A858 was publishing less frequently until the publications ceased completely. In March 2016, after months in which the Subbreddit had been deprived, A message appeared which said “the A858 project has concluded. It can be unsubscribed.” Many users did not believe it, but A858 never published again. A858 was never resolved. We only know that there was a company behind that one day cut the financing. The next news that was had was In September 2016 through one of the moderators of Solvinga858which revealed that he had had contact with the person behind A858. In his message he assured that this mysterious person was paid by a company to “post code puzzles through encryption and different text handling methods.” After a while, The company behind the project decided to cut the financing And there all ended. Needless to say that It was not the answer that the community expected and left too many unknowns to solve. Theories behind A858 As a good mystery, there are many theories about what was really behind A858. One of the most repeated is that it was A company looking for experts in encryption To hire them. A858 agreed over time with Cicada 3301 Another very similar mystery, although much easier to solve. Supposedly those who managed to decipher Cicada, received a message to enter a mysterious organization. Another of the theories defends that A858 a ‘Numbers Station’ Used by Mossad for Espionage Tasks. It does not seem to be known with total certainty, but one of the theories that makes more sense is that A858 was A company testing its own safety. In this scenario, The objective of the project would be precisely for anyone to solve the puzzleswhich would show that security was good. If so, they got it.
