That's like saying "but there's no reason for any of this to be websites." You could theoretically do this without NFTs, but no one has and NFTs already have tons of traction. You have to store the database of who owns w

I'd think of it more like Patreon (in non-scammy cases, at least). Today, if you have an instagram where you post cool astronomy photography, and you'd like to make some money from your growing following, your options are try and

There's actually a lot of open source apps that have this property in a particular category: web3 apps. Users (or other intermediaries, not necessarily the app dev) pay the cost of transactions, and thereby pay the cost of the data sto

It's not hard to do, but it is unlikely to provide the privacy protection you want against any sophisticated chain analyzer, like Chainalysis. Those ZK-pool based mechanisms all depend on the amounts being significantly smaller than th

Because any investigative firm would first look at the very small set of insiders first, and it's harder than one would think to truly hide their tracks, especially since this was a traditional infra attack and not just an on-chain sma

I don't think it was an inside job, it's actually pretty hard to wash $600m+ of blockchain funds already (it's highly traceable). Doing it as an insider would be truly insane. The whitelisting wasn't a secret. Axie DAO i

The quick version: - The bridge was controlled by a 5 of 9 validator set (ie. 5 of the 9 nodes needed to agree to withdrawals and deposits between Ethereum and Ronin) - 4 of these nodes were run by Sky Mavis themselves (a bad idea), those w

I think you are extrapolating something that doesn't exist in the article... Comma implemented driver attention monitoring into their device before Tesla did, and George had been advocating Tesla do it for a long time before they fin

This seems like the most likely explanation here, after looking through all the related threads. There's clear evidence these exact uniforms have been used plenty of times by cosmonauts, as recently as last year.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can still use a non-blocked Tor Bridge to connect to the network in this scenario.

How most people interact with the technology today , yes. The technology is still very early, lots of startups working on making self-custody easy and safe enough for regular people.

My grandparents had just moved into a nice elder care home right before COVID lockdowns started. They were put into the same conditions as described by the OP (although at least they had each other). I remember receiving a photo of them loo

With respect, if someone actually came up with a peace agreement that worked for Ukraine/Russia, I would hope it would be worth far more than $1k.

Yea, these exchanges are following the exact same sanction regulations any other bank is required to follow, it seems. Not sure why we'd expect any different.

There’s already a standard ENS field for mapping to IPFS CIDs! Look at the “Content” field on ENS records.

The renewal vector is the only way atm, yes. But it's easy to prevent this as a .eth holder: just register for a really long time. Costs like $500 to register for 100 years for most names. As for the controller bit, even if you change

^ this, except I'd add that as a large ENS delegate myself (as one of the founders of Metaphor), I and other large delegates don't factor in the price of the token into decisions. We never intend to sell $ENS, it's a public g

That's not true, you can definitely do this with a smart contract blockchain like Ethereum, and there are plenty of loan protocols already that do this in production with $ billions in assets transacted. No one can steal your ETH from

How is a mortgage not financing, and how is a mortgage not just another over-collateralized loan? Every loan has some form of collateral. Even credit cards do, it's just less tangible: you are staking your credit score, which they&#x27

A lot of assumption in this thread that the only reason to be pseudonymous is for criminality. That's not the case. I've raised a decent bit from a well-known pseudonymous twitter account. If it's a smart contract-based inves

Echoing a lot of what others said, I would 100% drop this entirely and walk away. The deal you described is a terrible deal even if one of them was giving you a little bit of help. You're living right now in the best fundraising envi

Tbh dude, I wouldn't even do this. The deal you described in the OP is a HUGE red flag, especially in this funding environment where it's crazy easy to raise money for almost anything. I would walk away and start fresh, this is a

Yea we've been using Linear for almost a year, it's an excellent product. Basically think Superhuman for JIRA. Very clean, not overcomplicated, great keyboard support.

Oh well for this specific scheme, an MPC, it offers less flexibility. What if I want to remove one of my friends from my trusted guardians? What if I want to swap one out? You can also design other schemes, like a time-lock one that says if

Do you have any idea what comprises the source code for most traditional banking infrastructure? It ain't modern functional languages, I'll tell ya that much. >_>
