Your dev team needs meetings? Sounds pretty disorganized. Our team is productive, manages their time well, and communicates without meetings. Did anyone actually need a meeting, ever?

According to paragraph 3 of TFA it's not collateralized similarly > Other on-chain stablecoins like DAI are over-collateralised. For every $1 of DAI, there’s ~$1.75 worth of crypto assets in the DAI system.

No, this isn't a Ponzi scheme. That's the only thing I've said. I think you believe "Ponzi scheme" and "scheme" are interchangeable. Usually the go-to lazy catchphrase is "we're just arguing sema

So why isn't "the operator of the scheme" synonymous with "the central actor?" >I see zero good reasons why decentralized schemes can't be ponzi schemes. Do you know who Charles Ponzi was or why Ponzi scheme

A definition so broad it's meaningless. There was no Bernie Madoff here, no fraudulent scheme, just very poor design and outright mistakes. What you're describing is what they tried (and failed) to avoid. How can you make it to th

Bernie Madoff went to prison for fraud, what would "an honest Ponzi scheme" even mean? I think a lot of people saw The Wizard of Lies and "Ponzi scheme" is the only financial scheme they're familiar with, so it ge

There are a number of important differences, in fact the only meaningful comparison is that they are selling shares to the public. The title is wrong, there is no IPO. Presumably "IPO" is meant as "public offering." If t

No I'm not. The font-size for most text on the site is 10pt and 9pt. Zoom doesn't fix line lengths of 1500 characters and terrible color contrast. The link to the site guidelines is 7pt with a contrast that fails WCAG 2.0. No wond

The font-size on HN is barely readable, I'm working on an accessible skin for the HN frontend that addresses this. I'm targeting WCAG 2.0. Keep an eye out for the "Show HN" coming soon!
