Yeah tx fees on Eth suck. Some chains are better, PoS might improve it, but yeah. This is on a Layer 2 chain that has lower fees which helps.

Or I get a pack of cards I don't want and my only option is to "convert them to dust" or whatever the game allows. At least here I can sell them to the community in case someone else wants one!

> Here by “you”, do you mean the player or the developer? I meant the developer. I know this tech does exist but Diablo had to build their own auction house, integrate with Stripe, build a store, etc... I never saw MTGO, I just believed

Sure! So if this was a regular digital game you'd be screwed because the assets are tied to the game. As an NFT they're tied to the account, so you could actually make your own game use those assets and keep playing with them :) S

Cool! Yeah I'm not saying this is blockchain exclusive, but it is nice to get all the components to do this for relatively cheap (and with additional perks like no Steam fees, creator payments on resell, etc).

I just like the idea you can join a game, play it, collect some cool stuff, and sell your assets at the end to recoup some of your expenditure when you're done. Also nowadays people are trying to earn money by streaming or competitive

Yeah TCG's get really expensive. Not as bad as Warhammer, but definitely up there! My only real point is that it's a use case where I'm going to probably buy packs anyway, but now I can buy specific cards & sell cards I g

You're right that this could be done without NFTs, for sure! You could have them as digital assets within the game, like MTG: Online, and trade them. The main benefit of using a blockchain is that you don't have to build a store a

How’s it a Ponzi scheme? I’m playing a video game I enjoy and would maybe spend money on anyway. Just so happens I can buy cards directly from people like an IRL trading card game, and microtransactions feel slightly less wasteful than in o

Guido is obviously a talented PL designer but I’d wager he knows very little about the crypto space. Not sure how this is interesting enough for front page HN but I guess it’s fun to see how emotional people are about this topic.

I’ve had quite a bit of fun playing Gods Unchained which is like Hearthstone but on Ethereum. What does that actually mean? The cards are NFTs so you can buy and sell them. You can also buy card packs with regular micropayments like other T

I’d suggest relooking at Framework because I’ve seen so many positive reviews from people I respect, and it’s good to support that project. FWIW I’d buy one myself if I needed a new laptop. Might not be the solution for you, but I don’t thi

I've been generating little love stories between Putin and BoJo, things like going on romantic walks in the park and whatnot, and I cannot wait for DALL-E 2 access to add images to these :D

I just checked and without giving too much info I’ll round, but there’s 20 repos with 10K commits of pure Nix repos, 3k issues across them, and 30k references to the word nix lol. Random check and none of the files are generated in these re

Yeah I was in a company using Nix for around 18 months where some of the DevOps team were contributors so everything was Nix’d. CI, dev environments, deployments, cluster management. Want to add a library to your Python app? Don’t use pip

Oh great! More indirection. Now when I want to deploy my web app I can check my private nixery.dev deployment is properly configured in Nix to build my Docker images so I can deploy my containers to the cloud so someone can access me Rest A

There are ways to reduce this issue but yeah you are right. For example, you could require people to be staking X for Y period of time in order to vote. You could have a voting system that picks voters in advance so you can't suddenly

The quality of HN posts on crypto is borderline - writing stuff like this pushes it off the edge towards flame wars and ‘All crypto is bad, just look at these flame wars’. Please try add more substance to posts, such as how PoW vs PoS has a

This is why you have things like quadratic voting to e the votes you have from your net worth - it’s cheap to vote once, it’s cheap to vote for two different things, but it’s very expensive to vote for the same thing repeatedly

I do testing in the blockchain space and it’s really crazy just how thorough one has to be to catch these issues, when there are so many adversaries.

I used GPT-3 to generate some porn scripts of various historical dictators and modern politicians that were pretty funny. Putins secret romance with Kim Jung Un was especially saucy, until Osama Bin Laden found out and told the EU. I'd

How can you approach a problem with logic before knowing what that logic will manipulate? For example you say you'd start writing code to read tokens but a token is a type

I'm not old - 28 years old, worked in tech since I left school at 19, and my first job was still wiring routers and building servers (like, physically ordering the parts and building them in a lab). I really miss that sort of tech now

That's what killed deep learning in the 90s right? The ideas were there, they were just impractical, and now they're Python libraries on a laptop. Could be similar here albeit I don't know anything around the viability of the
