Agreed, all these people who make it seem that companies need to be some duty to employee everyone clearly hasn't seen how this has failed in many social leaning states. Don't like how they do it? Create your own company and run i

Tigerbeetle does support these use cases quite well. It has linked transfers that allows multiple chains of transfers to be linked and all atomically commit or not. Coupled with two-phase commits it provides for some powerful primitives. I&

Fair enough, I've never heard rate increases discussed in relative terms. The context matters in the case.

@Max I loved watching your livestream of building Feedback Fish! Congrats on this product, I basically handrolled something like this using Cloudflare Workers. Would have been amazing to have this out the box. Good luck for the future

Tethers collapse or fall from the peg would be such a contagion within the entire crypto ecosystem. I would think all crypto holdings are at risk if there are large adverse findings in the disclosure.

I just want to call out my great appreciation for Simen. He has been trying to maintain the fort of Jest for years. He is not even a Meta employee. Releases would always be complicated and blocked as Meta needed to sign off. I'm glad t

@zach this is what I find very frustrating about the current players. We recently got pricing from you and obviously being under NDA won’t share the figures but I’m not seeing the discount you quote above compared to stripe. Further there a

Well spotted. My quick math was very incorrect. Thanks for the correction

Not forgetting it but it doesn’t move the needle much. If you assume an average card transaction size of $10, which is likely higher. That is only 0.3% of processing which may increase revenue by 30% at best.

Thanks that’s handy to know! At their volume they can obviously get better rates from the bank. I do wonder knowing that what the actual revenue is and perceived IPO valuation. I can’t see it being $100B unless they doing crazy numbers on t

Stripe don’t get even close to the full fee of card transactions. Most goes to the issuing bank. They would be lucky to clear 0.8% of a card transaction and it’s likely much lower

We in South Africa have a single state owned energy producer, Eskom. We consistently have power cuts (load shedding) to prevent grid collapse, it has the highest head count per MWH produced and is in total disarray. I definitely believe hav

Just another shitty 'crypto' technology fulfilling a hypothetical usecase that doesn't exist in the real world. I'm sorry you read the site and came away with that impression but that is not that case. Interledger is c
