Hmm, but where would we put the data that we know will be safe and trusted? We need a shared database we can all use. One that keeps a record of the changes of its state over time, and anyone can verify it and host a node! Ah but it might

I agree, cryptocurrencies and nfts are built on FOSS and CO-OP philosophy, thats what it is all about. But I also dont think we should continue sacrificing artists and musicians for a vision of a star-trek post-scarcity world that doesnt ex

i think you are underestimating reputation, legitimacy, and community. sometimes this metadata matters, other times it doesnt at all. its just a handshake between two people. relationships matter. if you mess up your metadata, rugpull your

you can create nfts and have them minted upon sale, that way you dont have to pay anyone as its gasless. all you need is a signature, that doesnt cost anything. its actually a really neat way to onboard users to chain without needing to go

Twitter, Reddit, Stripe, Discord... Makes a lot of sense, hopefully the first thing is adding things like snapshot integration and other dao tools. Then integrate with layer 2 for digital assets/community tokens. I wonder, in 5 years w

I quite like them for token gates chat rooms, i'm in a few discords that use nft ownership as keys, keeps out the spam, and I can always sell my access by selling the token, and if I do the creator gets 10%(standard but varies) of the

the person sending the dm is clearly trolling/joking. wild they wrote an article about it, but i guess the idea that people are angry gets clicks.

Paywalls are great at stopping spammers. And membership for groups is hardly an internet only thing. Haven't tried Hyper, but the nft gated discords I use are much nicer places to hang out and chat and make things together. In the past

I think we will see more work like this, and tools developed to help. but really it comes down to tradeoffs of speed and security, what cant be insured, and the impact of bugs. you might have an uninsured contract with multiple audits and p
