Might this be a legit use case for a blockhain solution?

It’s a shame Hyperface has been delayed. I honestly look forward to the day when you see cyberpunks walking around with these on their faces and you can instantly recognize a kindred spirit, if not the identity of same. https://a

There was an off hand remark in Jurassic World about how the dinosaurs are genetically engineered to look like the public expects them to look, rather than how they would naturally look.

Like translating a phrase into a foreign language and back repeatedly, I inagine you’d end up with something fun and impressionistic. I’d like to see it too.

Are you trying to suggest that Cryptokitties aren’t meaningful? Blasphemy :-)

So I’m not the person who posted the code, but I don’t think I really understand what you mean but I want to learn from it. Can you explain what it would mean in practical/layman terms to resume his work better?

Thank you (and GP!) I know what I’ll be doing for the next 90 minutes.

A little faith in humanity and in your ability to judge character. If you’re absolutely paranoid about this sort of thing, how do you even use a public restroom? How do you know your own house doesn’t have cameras watching you? Even James B

Very nice idea but it took me far too long to find the YOU ARE HERE circle that presumably corresponds to the detail circle. There should be some clear obvious connecting element so I can find YOU ARE HERE much more easily. Good luck with t

I love this imagery. Probably what Neal Stephenson was going for in Reamde, though your simple analogy resonates with me more.

“Stocks” That’s such an unfortunate metaphor for crypto.

Thanks! Definitely using this in my current project. Sorry to my users in advance.

We designers must all be like Tron: fight for the user!

Surely this has more to do with ETH’s very fast block time than the increased block size in a vacuum? That is, I don’t see how these same issues that are affecting blocks that come every ~15s can be used to draw a conclusion about a system

Brilliant. Definitely interested to see how this space evolves! Metamask is a great first step to helping bring wallets to the masses in the web browser, and it continues to improve, but it certainly isn't what a mainstream web wallet

The "no secrets on the blockchain" aspect has already played out in subtly interesting ways in Cryptokitties. I have a tool that lets me see in a moment whether a given account has gained or lost money, and how much, and how much

The smart contract that performs these actions still exists and anyone can (and some people like me do) interact with it without touching the website UI / front end. The pictures of kitties are easily recreated once you have all the se

Addictive personalities can be good and can be evil. I have one and I’m usually okay at recognizing that and when it’s kicking in and not losing self control, but I’ve never had an opportunity to easily spend my cryptocurrency before and so

I'm little afraid of all the CryptoKitties clonies that this will cause to come into existence, but it's pretty easy to spot the low effort cash grab ponzies and to see that CryptoKitties itself has a ton of thought and effort (an

The creator isn’t simply an amateur coder, it’s a team of real coders working on a program originally conceived by Colbert and an amateur coder.

Oh man have I got some spreadsheets I’d love to throw this tool at.

No. I’d get dizzy real fast if that very natural association between movement and perception were suddenly reversed though. (Somehow that didn’t happen when I started using natural scrolling, only when trying to go back from it.)

See what happens when people use en dashes when they mean to use em dashes? Total chaos!
