Sure! The tricky bit here, in my mind is: 1. How do you know the ticket is valid? 2a. How do you know I send the ticket after you pay me? 2b. How do I know you send the money after I send the ticket? 3. How do you know I don't send the

This would require a smart contract, a react front-end to make the UX a little nicer, and a little maintenance. If I charge $1 fees per ticket tx I'd undercut the market and it wouldn't be that hard.

Very fair question! On Ethereum the fee would be stupid high. However Polygon has fees of around $0.02 so say I'm looking to make myself a bit of a profit for making the UX nicer with a website we'd be looking at around $1 fees.

I keep using this example in NFT arguments but no one has actually done it yet. Screw it, I’m going to launch this and prove it works (or admit my defeat lol). Time to open vscode.

Stubhub has a 10% fee for the buyer and a 15% fee for the seller. It also can’t guarantee tickets are valid, they do guarantee a refund to the buyer if they’re false though. This is more expensive and less safe than an NFT ticket.

Hey, I have a ticket to your favorite band. I’m selling it for $25 and you really want to buy it from me, but you don’t know me - this is our first contact! How do you buy it from me?

Could you expand on this a little? What’s the problem and what are you looking for as a solution?

Tickets are in TicketMaster now for sure, but maybe peer-to-peer apps removing centralized services is the real meaning behind ‘web3’.

Sure but you’d need to set up infrastructure to allow that. This is one example that runs on the blockchain. You could have many others with no change in the underlying infrastructure. Also things like the Ethereum Name Service allow you to

This is true for Ethereum, but if you look at other top 10 chains like Cardano the fees are much smaller! And proof-of-stake so it's not destroying the planet (I know Eth is going that way soon too).

This is fair, I wish more teams were working on the boring useful use-cases. One I particularly like is gig tickets. Represent them as NFTs, prove ownership of the ticket as it is in your wallet, trade them for USD with anyone around the wo

I do really dislike this general attitude that blockchain/web3/crypto is some elaborate scam with no benefits. Everyone focuses on the same negatives but never look at the interesting elements like solving the double spend problem

NuBank promoting the fact their average employees age is 26 just makes me feel old as I approach 28 lol...

I mean the use of those to power arbitrary computation on the network. It’s not dissimilar to AWS tokens.

How is generics not a big enough change to warrant 2.0? Edit: I’m impressed generics aren’t a breaking change! I thought this changed Interface{} to Any as a breaking change

by exdsq 5y ago
I’d argue there’s an underlying value in tokens like Ether that is similar to paying for compute power and storage on AWS. I’m not saying the price right now is correct, but that there is an intrinsic value.

Haha that's the issue - I work as an SWE and it has killed so many fun options purely because I can't imagine such a sharp pay decrease.

That sounds awesome! Can you share any more info on that?

There's more to it than just the tech and what is cheapest though. Like risk management. Cost might be higher for a less-risky thing.

I think it's just the insecurities of developers realizing they don't understand an important subject because it's separate to their work. Magicroots advice is great. Suggesting devs should be siloed from marketing in the con

Hades was a real surprise - I hadn't heard anything about it and was expecting something pretty average but it might actually be my game of the year.

I normally agree with code being subjective but with test code around the UI I'd argue actually that this is a good abstraction. For example this code would completely break if they added another div with text on a page. It'd al
