Of course. I nearly mentioned in my previous disclosure or disclaimer that I have no interest at all in these areas, financially or in any other kind of quid pro quo. I don’t receive any benefit from posting, for any of my posts. I just do it because I genuinely don’t learn or reason well in a vacuum, and I don’t know enough about most of my fields of interest to be an expert; I’m a generalist user in most advanced discussions and cutting edge areas of computing at best, and my interests are usually cursory and self-edifying, if not deep-dives.
I hope my post was not interpreted as shilling. That’s why I also mentioned other topics I’ve posted about in this space, to show my own hand as well as show that I’m not playing favorites. I’m just here to learn from those whose experience and knowledge surpass my own, and whose skills I care to learn myself.
In all honesty, I was having trouble sleeping and was just clicking around on Twitter, found some interesting projects, so I thought, and shared them. There really wasn’t a whole lot of reasoning on my part, beyond my perhaps-mistaken belief that the content was of interest to readers of HN.
I’m open to further discussion on this or any other matter. My only motive is to receive and share info, and if I can help, I want to do so.
- floatingatoll 6y agoHN readers are hypersensitive to coin stuff — far moreso than most topics. Thank you for taking the time to reply, it does lessen the concerns somewhat. I think that I'm still very wary of this due to their dependence on blockchain and lack of clear profit model. I wish they had a tech landing page that explained why they're interesting (and not just 'woo blockchain') succinctly.
