no because similar to PGP keys it really doesn't matter where you publish your fingerprint or how you connect your identities. If shaq had a popular website, he could do it there too. E.g. I have my PGP fingerprint on my website: http

I suggest that to fix the problem of a single owner being able to sign away the ape to more than one person, the app could be extended as such: - For every new custody signature, the signer publishes the transfer online to a collectively-ma

e.g. that's why famous nft artists either have their ENS name in their Twitter bio or as their name. With that, you know that e.g. if shaq.eth minted an NFT, it's indeed the real shaq o'neal as otherwise the imposter shaq.eth

You're wrongly assuming that all incidence data of COVID-19 accurately represents its real spread. E.g. it may just be that beyond a point of exponential growth testing ceases to be accurate. The German Robert Koch institute has pointe

Yeah the NFT isn't the image. The image is metadata, read the ERC721 contract interface [1]. The NFT is the NFT. - 1: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721#specification

> Its not an NFT of this person, its not even an NFT of the picture. Its an NFT that points to an image. It can be "an NFT of that person". The NFT is the contract and the image, name and descriptions can be considered metadata

I dislike your condescending tone and I also think your speech doesn't generalize. There are large code bases in production that are productive: Everything that is open source - and still the process isn't as shit as op describes.

You put a large emphasis on the idea that I have invested in cryptocurrencies and that I'm hence arguing for that. But even if I had, wouldn't you equally be a shill for having invested in companies that merely exist for the sake

The context is that the economist wrote a piece on "most powerful people in crypto", so isn't it a bit weird that people assume these people to be cryptographers? Economist, crypto?

Am I? Anyways, the definition of "reactionary" is to hold onto an outdated believe or assumption. Crypto means cryptocurrencies these days. I was just stating the obvious.

I'm a daily user of nitter. As someone without a Twitter account, nitter has legit a 10x better UX than Twitter. It loads super fast and just works. On Twitter, it seems the "X" to remove the sign up popup is first run throug

"crypto means cryptography" is reactionary.

yes, nothing bad happened for me neither. Everything seems to work as expected. Or maybe, everyone that accepted in the meantime has received a brand new Meta VR headset maybe :D?

As a person that has worked on a product that did NFTs before they reached mainstream [1]: This is not what we were trying to achieve. And before anyone comes with the classic HN argument that blockchain is a hammer looking for a nail. Sorr

Actually it's a good point and IMO for a population that may have a certain distribution of voting credits e.g. shareholders of a stock, adjusting the exponent can make sense to more fairly distribute power.

Not sure I understand. Non colluding: - Alice spends 100 on P - Bob spends 100 on Q Colluding - Alice spends 75 on P and 25 on Q for Bob - Bob spends 75 on P and 25 on Q Like this?

I'd call it square root voting if there isn't any assumptiom about how often a single identity is eligible to vote. E.g. for most of the crypto space, they do square root voting but claim to be quadratic. Exemplary issue here: ht

That's a snarky comment and according to the HN guidelines those shouldn't be posted.

I didn't see it coming as I'm not from traditional banking. Yes, there's legal oversight: But what is much worse is that the legal system may often not be capable of correctly enforcing as e.g. they can't do anything aga

My project's goal is to increase the safety in the DeFi space (actually just a small subspace for now): We're monitoring token pools for "rug pulls" and giving them a "safety" rating: https://rugpull
