Fluorine Fermi is Monero’s latest soldier against spy nodes in its digital privacy battle. Yes that’s right, friends. Unveiled with urgency on 09th October 2025 via X, the Fluorine Fermi update release (v0.18.4.3) is Monero’s latest weapon in its relentless war to shield user transactions from prying eyes. What should you know about Fluorine Fermi? Possibly the most important thing is that it is a software update designed to thwart spy nodes who are devious actors that attempt to link your IP address to your transactions. These nodes, often operating as botnets or coordinated groups, pose a chilling threat to Monero’s core promise: untraceable financial freedom. Enter Fluorine Fermi update, which tackles this head-on with a revamped peer selection algorithm, steering users away from suspicious subnets teeming with spy nodes and toward safer connections. Additionally, it sprinkles in reliability tweaks to keep the network humming. But remember kids, this is no silver bullet. As you may know, Spy nodes are a persistent nightmare for Monero’s privacy-focused community, and Fluorine Fermi is just one move in a high-stakes chess game. Of course the update empowers users with another layer of defense, but the specter of malicious nodes adapting and evolving looms at large. Monero’s developers have been vocal about the need for constant vigilance, urging users to run their own nodes and adopt reliable tools like software that scrambles transaction origins to keep snoopers at bay. Privacy: an ongoing battle To be honest, Monero’s community has been scrambling for solutions for a long time now. Late last year, the Monero Research Lab even floated the idea of a ban list for IP addresses suspected of hosting spy nodes. It sounds promising, but malicious operators can simply spin up new IPs, rendering the ban list a fleeting fix at best. It’s a cat-and-mouse game where the mice are armed with botnets and bad intentions. So yes, Fluorine Fermi update is a step forward, but it feels like a Band-Aid on a wound that keeps reopening at the same time.

We already know getting a crypto job is a surefire way to get rich, pretty fast. But, if you’re looking for an entry level crypto job, you may wanna hold on to your hat, because Dragonfly has some crazy predictions. So if you had a dream of venturing into Web3 with a CS degree and a meme-worthy LinkedIn profile, Dragonfly has very bad news. In a bizarre report that's got the blockchain brigade buzzing like a swarm of caffeinated bees, Dragonfly Capital says only one in 10 crypto roles is for fresh-faced newbies. Yes… unfortunately. Dragonfly's sleuths polled 85 crypto outfits and crunched data from 3,400 employees and candidates before coming to the conclusion. They found Engineering positions top, with a whopping 67% of headcount. They also found that senior and principal-level gigs gobble up 37% of the crypto job pie. This means those elusive entry-level crypto jobs are pretty much hiding in the shadows with less than 10% of openings, with not much access to anyone. "Crypto was hard to break into," Dragonfly said. But why the entry-level Crypto Job apocalypse? The majority of the blame falls on the ghosts of the past. Kevin Gibson, the founder of Proof of Search attributes it to project flops that lit up the night sky like failed fireworks. “Despite the overall market positivity and the success of several projects, there have been many instances of projects failing after their token generation events,” he said. No wonder net hiring flipped negative in H1 2025: A January hiring spree got sideswiped by February tariffs, then March's axe-wielding frenzy chopped entry-level crypto jobs first. Image. Salaries? Slashed. Token perks? Vaporized. Equity bumps offer a Band-Aid, but it's not helping in the long run. This crypto job drought hits hardest where it hurts: the millennials and Zoomers who see crypto as their ticket to financial freedom. A third of global holders are 24-35-year-olds, prepped for that entry-level crypto job. Yet here we are, watching them scroll Indeed like lost puppies in a thunderstorm. Matt Thompson of TRB Executive Search chimes in on job losses saying, "Markets boom, we hire like crazy; they bust, and poof..layoffs. In this context, Dragonfly's data paints a "cautious" crypto job canvas. This isn't just a report; in fact it's a reality check on the crypto job jungle where the big cats prowl and the cubs are left meowing at the gate. Crypto jobs
