eMaid was on ETH mainnet, the choice to move to ARB was due to cost. Its much more affordable now as gas is very cheap there

I understand.
Its just very uncommon for a token of a legit project to mainly live on a layer 2.
For onboarding investors and speculators specifically, id say its problematic.
If this initial token were to live on solana, it would be entirely different as there is so much liquidity free floating

Once we are verified on CoinMarketCap, we will almost be back in the top 100 with this current price! My prediction is that we will be back in the top 100, in a couple of weeks. That will get people to start noticing us

There are ways to get around bridging by enter and exit through a CEX, we need to educate people so they can enter/exit cheaper.

Actually I donât know where to post this as there is no thread about earnings on the public network right now 
@Dimitar if anything, please move me.
My LaunchPad as of yesterday still shows 0 Attos but I looked in my wallet recently and the balance shows 0.38051 ANT. Could this be earnings from the current public network? I am now storing much less data than I did on the test network and yet I got significantly more ANT for just one day than I did for the last few weeks on the test network, is this earnings from the current network or any other rewards?
There is the random rewards being given out to functional nodes, prior to emissions, via their arb/eth address. Some calling it emissions, but Jim has said quite plainly that emissions will start once the network is declared persistent.
Also currently only 1 in 3 nodes ever get told about the upload earnings they actually get.

So could this be a reward? Although before I saw the balance in the wallet I asked Bux on Discord about the announcement on the #pioneers channel, she replied that they will try to award prizes on Friday so it doesnât fit too well.
But on the other hand could any prize be worth 0.38051 ANT?
Like Neo said with the proviso that you will receive payment 1-2 times a day at once because they wonât upload test data, just ping the nodes and once or twice a day they will make payments to the nodes that answered the ping correctly and when I say ping itâs not a real ping but a request for data that doesnât exist and the node must respond correctly that it doesnât exist.

Yes as @Dimitar said.
There are random rewards happening at the moment in place of the emissions while the network is not guaranteed persistent. I suppose this is to get us used to emissions, so they can test it, and most importantly give us a reason to run nodes.
The reward payout from beta testing is yet another thing happening.
Now I have multiple machines with different number of nodes and I gave each machine its own ETH address. The random rewards pay more to the eth accounts that have more nodes specifying that account and in around the same proportion. Double the nodes using that eth address and about double the random rewards

So there is no need anymore to run as many addresses as possible, you just have to connect 1 to as many nodes you like to run?

Now I understand, I must have somehow missed this information, was it announced somewhere?
I have another question that Iâve been meaning to ask for a long time - once the nodes are up and running (in a home network), should the number of connected nodes remain the same? In recent tests (i.e. for a few weeks now) and in the current network, after the nodes are started, the position of the âpeersâ does not change, only the number of âconnsâ positions changes. Is this the correct behavior?
Today, on the other hand, I had the âMemory useâ item status of 500 MB unchanged all day, similarly it seems to me that the number of âconnsâ did not change, only now I tried to run (O)ptions and then it was as if the nodes hung up, the memory used changed but LaunchPad still did not respond to the O or H keys for some time.
Yes, unless you use different machines. With 1 address on each machine, it will be easier for you to monitor whether it is working well.

Connections will vary a lot
Routing table peers will be fairly stable, changing a little from time to time as new nodes join or nodes leave

MaidSafe took all the liquidity out of PancakeSwap:
I donât know why they even added it there, it doesnât make sense to have it spread across different DEXes. I hope that after we see where the price goes after the beta tokens are distributed, more community members will add liquidity.

totally agree. i just bought some ETH, to keep a few for gas and some for ANT. well, my ETH is Unichain ETH, which which for some reason theyâre not letting me inter-chain swap it for ANT. i think this will be solved soon enough, but please, would you edify me as to the ins an outs of the onramp/exit phenomenon? I wasnât expecting this âextra stepâ and havenât heard much discussion about it.
So far Iâve learned banxa and moonpay both have KYC (or semblance of it, meaning they want copies of my ID and lots of info,) vs Topper, who made my transaction with just my cc. Right now, in MM, getting quotes for fiat $ to Arb ETH, I have options for banxa, moonpay and now also Ramp. -edit- and now mercuryo, coinbase pay and transak. -edit- and nowwww also robinhood crypto, link by stripe and sardine. Do you have a tried n true method to skip making multiple accounts for multiple fiat â crypto transactions and avoid the KYC shenanigans?
You really donât want to avoid them if you plan on withdrawing money from the token. It will be harder for you to prove the path of the money when you do.

I just know about it because @Dimitar told me some time ago about how you can avoid bridges with high fees by buying arbitrum Eth and such on CEXâs. KYC is common law in Europe and US, if you find an exchange which donât do KYX then expect shenanigans of all kind.
In coming month I have to get some arbitrum eth so I will have to find out how it works.

Perhaps, but at least you avoid the privacy leak of providing who knows who with your papers. I know Iâm a weirdo to be careful with my PII, yet at the same time Iâm one of the few people I know that havenât had any issues with identity theft. Feels good

A person should definitely be careful. My personal data has been leaked for years and there are regular scam attempts. Yesterday, for example, I got a call from an English-speaking bot who told me that my ID card was used in a crime and a police officer from Kentucky wanted to talk to me and to press 1 to contact him. 
As artificial intelligence advances, such fraud attempts will become more frequent and my strategy is to teach the people around me how to distinguish fraud, because the leakage of personal data is inevitable. In Bulgaria, a government institution was hacked 6 years ago and the data was stolen from it. So even if you yourself do everything possible to protect yourself, the likelihood of a leak from somewhere else is high.
