AI visual analysis: The image is a comparison chart titled "AVM vs EVM" that contrasts the Algorand Virtual Machine and Ethereum Virtual Machine across key metrics including consensus mechanism (PPoS vs PoS), latency (sub-3s vs ~12s), finality (instant vs ~13 minutes), throughput (10,000+ TPS vs ~250 TPS), fee model, native features, post-quantum support, and supported programming languages (Python/TypeScript/TEAL vs Solidity/Vyper/Yul). The chart visually supports the post's discussion of the two different approaches to smart contract execution and blockchain design between Algorand and Ethereum.

AI visual analysis: The image is a hardware cost comparison chart for running Algorand and Solana validator nodes, showing that an Algorand node requires $912.98 in parts (AMD Ryzen 7 7700, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) while a Solana node costs $13,688.98 due to server-grade requirements like the Intel Xeon w5-2455X, 256GB ECC RDIMM memory at $11,292, and 10GbE networking—illustrating the post's point that Solana's expensive server-grade memory makes it far costlier to run than Algorand.

· 2026-08-15T03:08:31+00:00Using @wendottools like normal, no issues minting Thicclings with @PeraAlgoWallet . Didn’t do a thing differently but now Thicclings are showing up as blank tokens in my Pera wallet. The old wallet they showed up as NFTs with their images moments after I minted. Fine in allo.

It seems Pera uses close-to by default when sending the Max amount. In this case, the exchange failed to recognize it and treated the deposit as zero.
