+10 Feb 2022 \-\- With the launch of the beta version of the Carpe Desktop App, the 0L Network has taken the next step towards making it possible for anyone to run a miner and earn crypto rewards.
+
+
+
+
+Carpe is a desktop wallet and miner that runs on the new 0L Network blockchain. The app is lightweight and designed to help you establish your digital identity in the 0L Network, while paying you coins to do so. Carpe is a standalone desktop application that will run on any contemporary Windows or Mac machine. The app is gentle on your resources, meaning that you can continue to use your computer normally while the app runs in the background. Simply install it, turn it on, and start earning tokens. 
+
+
+
+
+Today's release is the Beta of Carpe. The new version includes an improved interface and user experience and, under the hood, auto\-update and automatic network connections. With this release, the community would also like to thank the over 3,000 (!!) alpha testers who have helped us bring Carpe to where it is today. 
+
+
+
+
+**To get started, [follow this link](https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/carpe)**. We've also created a set of easy to follow instructions, including [a video tutorial](https://youtu.be/FcPiiZNS8sA).

+
+We've released, today, a new version of the 0L Network's Carpe Wallet \& Desktop Miner. This release (v.0\.3\.0\) is our latest release in the Carpe Beta series and includes significant new functionality, including multilingual support and a new tab "Events", which displays a list of events associated with your account (i.e., when coins move in and out of the wallet). This latest version ships with Chinese, Portuguese, and French language support. It is our plan to add additional languages in the near future. 
+
+
+
+
+To upgrade to the latest version, simply shut down and then restart your Carpe instance. You should be prompted to install the new version. Thanks to all on the Dev Team for making this happen! For those of you who are new to Carpe, [follow this link to grab the installer](https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/carpe) for Mac or WIN

+The 0L Network today reached a new record in terms of activity on the network: The daily number of active Carpe miners topped 2,000 for the first time today, with 2,080 installations running and earning tokens today. The number of active Carpe miners has been increasing steadily across the last 30 days, as new users have joined the community and discovered how easy it is to run Carpe and earn rewards.
+
+
+
+
+Also on this date we have released a newly updated version of Carpe \- version 0\.5\.0\. Here's what's new:
+
+
+
+
+* Wallet\-to\-wallet coin transfers
+* Better reliability connecting to the chain
+* Dynamic VDF proofs (improving network and miner performance!)
+* Over\-the\-air upgrades
+* Support for localization in multiple new languages
+
+
+
+
+For the next few days, you will need to manually download and install Carpe. The automatic updater will be enabled after we’ve given our more experienced users a chance to install the new version manually and report back on their experience.
+
+
+
+
+Here are the links for the packages you need for a manual update:
+
+
+
+
+* Windows users: [https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/carpe/releases/download/v0\.5\.0/carpe\_0\.5\.0\_x64\.msi](https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/carpe/releases/download/v0.5.0/carpe_0.5.0_x64.msi)
+* MacOS users (11\+ only): [https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/carpe/releases/download/v0\.5\.0/carpe\-macos\-11\.dmg](https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/carpe/releases/download/v0.5.0/carpe-macos-11.dmg)
+* Debian users: [https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/carpe/releases/download/v0\.5\.0/carpe\_0\.5\.0\_amd64\.deb](https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/carpe/releases/download/v0.5.0/carpe_0.5.0_amd64.deb)
+
+
+
+
+For those of you unfamiliar with Carpe, it is a wallet and light miner application that can run on most consumer computers. The app only requires 1 thread of your CPU, meaning not only can most machines run it, but you can run it in the background while you do other things with your machine. Download Carpe, learn about 0L and start receiving rewards \- it’s very easy to get started.
+
+
+
+
+Kudos to all of the Carpe contributors and the top\-tier 0L community for pressing on during this crypto winter. It’s time for builders to build! We welcome all builders into the community and encourage you to explore this site to learn more and [drop by our Discord and say hi](https://discord.gg/Nw7MpczV4X).

+## 0L Aims To Revive Facebook’s Libra Cryptocurrency With Fair Launch
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Every now and then folks adjacent to crypto Twitter like to tweet out some version of “Remember Libra?”. Libra was Facebook’s first effort to get in on the decentralized web, with a bold promise to “bank the unbanked” via blockchain that was revealed in mid\-2019\. The world’s largest social network caved in to regulatory pressure and gave up on its higher\-end ambitions less than a year later.
