🎲 Did Telegram seize @emojistake for a gambling feature?

Today, it became known that Telegram introduced a new gaming feature called Emoji Stake, where users can gamble with dice for money.

The players’ opponent in the game is the bot @emojistake. All TON payouts for wins and losses are settled through it.

🙄 User @sanya reported that username @emojistake previously belonged to a unknown channel, which is now available at @emojistake_mv.

❗️ Warning: fake USDT on Getgems

Right now on Getgems, scammers are sending offers using fake USDT tokens.

😦 They have already purchased the number +8888321 on Getgems via offer for 864,000 fake USDT ($0).

Do not accept offers on Getgems until the issue is resolved.

@heritage

😟 The victim of the scam commented on Getgems’ response

Yesterday, the marketplace commented on the incident involving offers made with fake USDT.

They partially accepted responsibility, acknowledging insufficient security restrictions for third-party tokens. However, they also placed part of the blame on users’ inattentiveness.

In turn, @fugui, who lost a number worth $300k, commented on the marketplace’s response:

It’s honestly both laughable and frustrating at the same time.
To be honest, if this had happened to any of us, we probably would have done the exact same thing, because there was no way to anticipate that the USDT on the platform was fake.

💎 Fragment outage

There are ongoing issues with Fragment.com. For more than 30 minutes bidding is not working, expired auctions are stuck in the “auction will close soon” status.

Users are also reporting delays when purchasing Stars and Premium subscriptions.

🛒️ Use Marketapp to avoid issues.

Upd: The service has been restored.

🐣 Username @bocai has just been minted for 100,000 $TON (~$210k)

🚽 User @ferrari accidentally put their username up for auction with a starting bid of 500 $TON

Just 3 minutes later, they realized they had forgotten three zeros and changed the price to 500,000 $TON.

They were lucky that nobody placed a 500 bid, because in that case it would have been impossible to cancel the auction.

❓ What do you think is the real value of a username like this today?

🎁 Recently, the CEO of Telegram changed the privacy settings of the @monk account — its “Last Seen & Online” status is now visible to all Telegram Premium users.

Pavel is known for his mindful approach to lifestyle and time management. Some of his quotes:

“If you open your phone first thing in the morning, what you end up being is a creature that is told what to think about for the rest of the day.”

“I don’t carry a phone with me because I find it extremely distracting.”

“Social media companies compete for your attention.”
“Infinite feeds and short-form videos fry your brain.”

🔍 With this in mind, we became curious to analyze how much time Telegram’s founder actually spends in his own messenger.

Over the course of a week, we monitored his “online” status — and here’s what we found:

📱 Pavel spent 1 day, 1 hour, and 43 minutes online during the week. On average — 3 hours and 40 minutes per day.

👨‍💻 On one of the days, the Telegram CEO spent 5 hours and 42 minutes inside the app.

🚽 The longest continuous online interval: 1 hour and 15 minutes.

🏪 583 — the number of times Pavel opened Telegram during the week. On average, 83 times per day.

🛌 The average estimated nightly offline interval was 10 hours and 11 minutes.

🎁 The longest offline interval: 14 hours and 58 minutes.

How much time do you spend on Telegram?

🌐 Pavel Durov lost the saint.ton domain, and it is now up for auction

He originally bought the domain in 2023 for ~$2.3k and linked it to his TON wallet. Later on, he also acquired the @saint username for 20.5k TON (~$101k).

One of the key features of .ton domains is that they must be renewed annually if there’s no activity tied to them.

Most likely, Durov simply forgot to renew it

🔨 Now saint.ton is back on the auction market. The current bid stands at 777 TON, and the auction ends in one week.

Do you think Pavel will place bids, or has he completely lost faith in .ton domains?
