well #1 would be Charles Hoskinson and his history... but more meaningful opposition would be in why use a DPoS network now that we can have PoS networks without the delegation? if you value decentralisation and think it has a future why w

"unlimited" surely you mean limited? theres rarely tech with no limits. also the military/police/law/government defend you from being killed for your bitcoin.

Would you spend $5k for the streaming rights to an mp4? Thats generally where people see NFTs going. Mark Cuban was talking about this yesterday on bankless podcast, how an NFT can contain all the royalty payments for e.g. a film or tv show

Cardano doesnt even have smart contracts yet, how have they implemented nfts? otherwise yes, energy usage will be dropping massively on most networks with pos upgrades.

if it costs $1 go buy then it is worth spending $0.99 on mining it. the more expensive it becomes the more it consumes. its basically a paperclip maximiser. I am pro digital currencies in general, but we can do much better than bitcoin. Tha

Pretty much all the crypto betting protocols use stablecoins (mostly pegged to the $), people arent betting in eth/btc. Vitalik placed bets on https://catnip.exchange/ so would have been in dai. Also on the topic of st

I really enjoy his interviewing style and calm voice. It is a conversation rather than a list of prepared questions. I get much more from these than say a techcrunch interview.

You can participate in most(all i am aware of) PoS chains with any amount of underlying tokens, in the same way you can participate in a mining pool if you lack the hashrate to mine independently. There will be independent PoS validators wh

I know when I talk about someone I don't know I use "they". It isn't to do with not knowing preferred pronouns, more like a type of formal speech about an unknown person. Maybe it is a regional/dialect thing? I wou

Code isnt law, and shouldnt be. Law is law and it works very well. People always come first. If the majority decide to do something it should happen. Anyone can participate. Honestly its bizzare that “but dao fork” still comes up years lat

Royalties is probably the wrong word. What i mean is that i can buy an album for $5 on bandcamp and the artist will get more money than if i stream the album 1000 times on spotify. Album sales (especially in no-tour lockdown times) are an i

Emacs and slime are great for lisp, but my experience is that learning all three at once is too much. Stick to vscode and install the lisp extensions (or sublime and sublime repl was what I learnt on) and work through the lisp koans (searc

I also found I could code for about 4 hours, so after that I like to reply to messages and read and sketch out ideas for how to approach bugs on paper, just get off the screen. And after a while of that I’ll go for a walk or something and m

There is a reason people say “solve your own problems”. It’s a great motivation. You can’t put off real problems because they get bigger. You have to be the one who solves it, and you’ll solve it in the simplest, laziest way so you can get

This looks fun, will give it a go. The inbuilt funding sounds interesting, is that like bounties on issues? Or more like Patreon sponsorships?
