I'm curious what you would make of something like Jonathan Manns NFTs (the song-a-day guy). There is a known difficulty to the production of assets, a known stable emission rate. He makes one song a day for the rest of his life, he has

I think making tools for transparency of financial information with privacy for the individuals is very beneficial to our democracies. and I think tools that help people coordinate/unionise/collectivise around shared interests is

and things like social wallets and trust networks as a response to those issues are emerging as the best way forward, less seed phrases and hardware wallets with tiny buttons. connecting with friends is the best security. turns out ethereum

it took a long time to work it out, but it is running on the beacon chain and the consensus upgrade spec has now been merged: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/3675

ah yes the war on money, because the war on drugs went so well. moral panic has never helped anyone. appeals to authority and banning peoples jobs and hobbies wont get anyone on your side. prove your way is better, we'll keep building

I dunno, remember Parity (who were very big players and leading devs in eth at the time) wanting a fork to recover contract funds and it was plainly rejected by the rest of the community. That said im also not really sure what you would be

The answer is easy and has always been the same: The amount will be what we have all collectively decided is the right amount to keep the system alive and secure. Minimum Viable Issuance. The only certainty in life is change. Saying "w

its a funny meme, but i think there is truth in it. bad news is often good because bitcoin only needs to continue to exist to prove itself. so if lots of bad things happen and bitcoin is still sticking around then it shows resilience and m

its interesting to read reflections of people locked up. very often they talk of how we are all in our own forms of jail. freedom is a state of mind.

thanks for that video. i found myself so quick to judge, though i know very little about him. but seeing someone play music makes them human again. it seems he did burn bright. some people cant help but push up against the edges of existenc

The blockchain always runs under social consensus. It is here for people not machines. Code isnt law, never has been, never will be. Because it would be insane to live in that world. When bitcoin accidentally overflowed and created 184billi

It is an interesting question, but what would outperforming Apple look like? and on what timescale? Is it being more profitable? Having happier workers? Making the sleekest shiny things? And are we thinking for the next year or the next hun

I really enjoyed DaoHaus who make it easy to spin up a moloch dao in a few clicks -> https://app.daohaus.club/summon and cheap to run on xdai (until rollups arrive then we can move there and get eth security too!) Also w

They absolutely didn't miss bitcoin. Thiel gave Vitalik a scholorship to drop out of university and work on ethereum. a16z have been massive supporters of cryptocurrency startups, as have YC (isnt coinbase their best investment?). Nava

Smaller chains have less economic security and less integrations, so it makes sense if they are expecting large donations to use something well established that is very unlikely to suffer a reorg attack and that is easily accepted worldwide

I imagine @pleasrdao might be bidding on this. A nice example of what global settlement layers and co-ordination tools can be (and should be) used for.

social recovery wallets seem pretty inevitable at this point, it is a much needed ux improvement. glad to see account abstraction being pushed in optimism and other rollups so we can start building these new mechanisms that arent so hostile

Maybe it doesnt scale? lets try it. Maybe 99% of people dont want to use it? Cool, lets try it. We don't have to be 100% better, we have to be 0.1% better. I think that is absolutely in reach. I think that will be transformational for

Those are mostly just front ends (expect monolith which is just for visa, not a long term thing), I can make/host my own front ends for the protocols if i want. e.g. the yearn dai vault address is 0x19D3364A399d251E894aC732651be8B0E4e8

I think HN repeatedly underestimates the overlap of these communities. FOSS ideology is critical in pretty much all crypto/defi projects.I can probably pick any dev in the space and they'll most likely be running linux. HN refuses

I understand where you are coming from, I can imagine if you read the media or browse twitter it can seem like a greedy and mean place. And that can be very off putting. People dont like the idea that money is being valued above all else. B
