Hello, my readers and everyone interested in Cardano and blockchain governance.

Today I claimed Midnight (NIGHT) tokens. So now I hold 131 NIGHT token which at this day is around $7. I will have to claim for tokens 3 more times. Next time - in 88 days.

I tried to claim yesterday from Vespr mobile wallet and many times I tried - no result. Then I used Yoroi wallet - browser wallet, I wanted to connect it to the Midnight page, but then I noticed "Airdrop" section in Yoroi itself. And that's exactly what you need. I'm writing this as I assume some of my readers will also want to claim NIGHT airdrop. And that's the easiest way to Redeem the tokens. I decided I won't sell tokens now, as Midnight is the project which I will pay attention to, and maybe will participate in the future.

While checking the wallets and the way to redeem Night, I used also Eternl and I decided to sell some Cardano tokens. I did this not only for financial reasons (the numbers are so small so they will barely cover my transaction fees which I pay for voting on Cardano governance decisions). I checked Minswap, SteelSwap, Cswap, SundaeSwap and Wingriders. I sold Shards and Copi tokens - got few ADA back for them. I've been using DripDropz site to claim tokens once in 5 days or sometimes less frequently. I used it for small "investment" into Cardano tokens. I accumulated lots of them, but unfortunately only some of them are possible to sell. And with fees, commissions - you need really big numbers of tokens. That's something what needs improvement in the Cardano ecosystem. But that's another big topic - not for this blog.

Today I also voted on 1 governance decision
