I tried out a PinePhone recently. While I applaud the progress being made by the devs, PinePhone is still a ways out from being a daily driver. For those looking for a Linux phone, is Purism the only (close to) usable option?

HN is a place for curiosity. I'm genuinely interested to hear svennek's perspective, it's coming through in a bunch of fragments throughout this post.

Appreciate the reply here! Your analogies are effective and point out an important difference. It comes down to this question: "Is wrapping everything in a financial model inevitable?" 1. If yes, then let's seize the moment t

Appreciate the thoughtful response. I've also found the subreddits to be echo chambers. I am looking for more curious places. Regarding be your own bank -- agree that $25/transaction doesn't make sense, and that this a regula

Thank you! Checking it out now. I just found it on this relevant HN thread as well for anyone else looking for curiosity driven cryptocurrency communities: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29139813

Thanks to superfad for pointing out that this got major discussion here on HN a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29139813 You need to scroll to the bottom of the thread though for links and good stuff! I&

Oh wow missed this! Will link to it from the thread I started as well. Thank you! For anyone else who reads that thread -- the good links and suggestions are near the bottom of the thread.

Thanks for the suggestion! Looks like a great rec, I see he retweeted some kind of debate that looks interesting. I'm pretty dubious of Twitter as a platform though. There's so much other stuff, and Twitter injects its own crapola

Checking him out, thanks! I've found the crypto discussions on HN to be pretty limited from a curiosity perspective. Not a bad thing, not everyone needs to be curious about this topic. I'm just looking for a place that is.

With "Proof of Stake" to mean a consensus system, are you saying the Ethereum Proof of Stake implementation doesn't do anything to guarantee against a cartel of bad actors? My understanding is "slashing" may be one

Oh appreciate your thoughts here! I can certainly agree that it can sound dystopian. Let's talk about how to make sure it's net positive! How do we built things better, where do we improve, what are the weaknesses? To me the rise

There you go, well then I trust your curiosity has continued to drift in its wonderful way as it always does, defined by where it is rather than where it is not.

Agreed, there is nothing left for the HN community to discuss about cryptocurrencies. There is plenty worth discussing for others though. I posted a thread here asking where to go to find curiosity driven discussions about the topic: https

Is there a place I can go to talk to people like you? Or maybe you but before you totally disconnected? I'm curious what your hopes were for being your own bank kinda stuff. How did you imagine it would work, what was important about t

This seems like such a bizarre take to me. It's like saying in 1960 that everything to discuss about computers is up to taste not novely. I see an entire world coming to life across thousands of different blockchains. So much of it is

Sorry to hear it. Curiosity is a special thing. It's hard or impossible to force it. I wonder where my own curiosity about cryptocurrencies comes from.

This is an important aspect! Crypto is new in that way where everyone can have ownership. I believe everything in the future will be more like this than less. Everything will have financial incentives tied more directly to it. So if anythin

Is there a place to go to talk to other people like you? I would love to hear about your Dapps, what's working, what's not.

I'm so curious about your posts, this seems like an endless thread of gotchas. What's important to you about this topic? I have read all your posts in this thread and am puzzled. Thanks for any insights.

Just to point out, you're using a common term very differently than others in cryptocurrency who say "Proof of Stake". This will add friction to your conversations.

A way to decrease the noise would be most appreciated. I'm confident there's lifetimes worth of signal, even in crypto developments in the last year. But there is an ungodly amount of noise over price, outrage, etc. I asked in a n

Why is there no curiosity here about cryptocurrencies? Well, let's ask "what makes cryptocurrencies different from startups or programming languages?" Crypto are financial instruments anyone can buy into. Does that explain th

Ah interesting hadn't realized it was a closed club. Heard it was some kind of delegate, DAO but that likely just means those with the money win right?

Oh neat, is there a name for that idea of "Tons if custom blockchains" vs "a few centralized ones like BTC and ETH"? Today it seems like 90% of the marketcap of these things is in BTC or in ETH/tokens. But marketcap
