You can already bridge NFTs from ethereum to solana and back using wormhole though.

Even if you can withdraw straight to L2s, the main problem I have with this scaling solution is it is too convoluted. I have no faith in being able to explain this to people who aren't already crypto enthusiasts. It seems much easier t

I truly despise the leetcode style of interviewing. It comes off as completely lazy and ineffective for most companies, and is a terrible indicator of how talented individuals are. I've been in the field for about a decade and have bee

Ethereum fees are crazy but other chains have thriving NFT marketplaces where transactions cost a fraction of a cent.

This is what drives me to explore the NFT space - proof of ownership is a powerful concept. I'm creating a generative art project that leverages both art and proof of ownership to grant access to specific services, it's pretty nea

you clearly have no idea how projects like arweave actually work.

Thanks for writing up these viewpoints of different chains. I haven't had the chance to check out Cardano, Algorand, or Polkadot, but in regards to the downsides of Solana vs Ethereum, I'll state why I personally am choosing to cr

Edit - my bad, seems like the week wait is from Arbitrum to ETH. Evidently missed that when I was trying to move funds from ETH to Arb. Ah well. Really though, unless these transactions become more obfuscated crosschain this ETH ecosystem f

by shiohime 5y ago
I'm simply stating how Arbitrum works today. And sure, once there's more adoption on L2s then there will be a reason to stay in the ecosystem, and I do get that it's inevitable that we'll have a multichain future (we hav

Personally I've been exploring the concept of proof of ownership in the NFT space. I think there is a lot of potential in the technology that helps benefit creators and cuts out the middle man. I know we are quite a ways out from doing

by shiohime 5y ago
Yeah, let me just lock up my ETH for a week so I can move it to Arbitrum and only have to pay $25 a transaction instead of $100.

I keep hearing this argument but I really don't buy it, sorry. I think that over time these other chains are also going to naturally decentralize, at least in the case of Solana the primary barrier of entry is hardware. I think that ac

by shiohime 5y ago
Fair enough, I did use a circular argument example unintentionally, my bad. But yeah, I agree with you - I wouldn't use wallets for auth really unless I'm making a web3 app. You *can* use this authentication scheme for other sites
46.
by shiohime 5y ago
It's just really easy to use and easier authentication than any scheme I've worked with before. If you want to try it out yourself, it's easy and only takes a few minutes to try out, I recommend it if you're really curio

Yeah polygon does seem like a nice chain to develop for, I'm assuming the same frontend packages like ethers.js / web3 work seamlessly since it's EVM? The thing I like about working in the Ethereum ecosystem is it is more mat

by shiohime 5y ago
This summarizes my viewpoint on ETH quite well. I think it's a really technologically sick platform that has a lot of potential, and I do believe in the future when these scalability solutions are in place and have mass adoption, then

by shiohime 5y ago
Yeah PKI has been around of course for a long time and is a core facet to how the web functions today. The private key authentication I'm referring to is because wallet extensions allow for users to connect their wallet to applications

by shiohime 5y ago
Polygon's a pretty good chain, but I have had issues with it before with essentially a traffic jam where my tx got locked up in a queue and took 30 minutes to process. But it's nice to be able to use the chain and it is quite chea

I wish that people writing articles talking about how horrible web3 is tried something other than Ethereum lol. I'm fairly certain that if people's first web3 experience is something that actually works and doesn't cost hundr

Thanks for sharing that article and for the insight, I appreciate it! I'm trying to learn the pros and cons of a lot of chains and agree that a lot of articles come across as marketing focused, so it's been hard for me to learn ab

If you don't mind me asking, do you know of any good resources for learning more about the scalability solutions of Solana vs Ethereum? I've only been in the space for about 6 months as an engineer and almost every document I&#x27

Personally as a user of both ecosystems I strongly prefer the speed of transactions and minimal fees on Solana, despite it being more centralized. I like EVM from a dev standpoint, but for most applications I want to use a financially pract

The best way I can describe my project to you is the difference between owning a room and owning a picture of a room. You cannot enter the room, only see it from a static angle based on the picture. This is the fundamental difference betwee

by shiohime 5y ago
Yeah, that is how I am envisioning it as well. It is a ticket to services I've already created, and services I intend to create in the future. And sure, a user could create a shared wallet and let others see the interactive capabilitie

I don't think you are understanding at all what I am saying lol. I have a program, think of it as a traditional web app, that has a backend that validates whether you own the asset prior to granting access. You can't use any copy

by shiohime 5y ago
Yeah, it's true that chargeback is not possible in the same way in cryptocurrencies, so there is just an inherent risk vector there. I think it would be possible, and likely, that there could be a marketplace / service specificall
