It does not need to be more work. There is a default algo. Users can also opt for alternatives.

let people filter for themselves. someone is offended by pornography so chooses an algo that accounts for that, another is offended by anti-trans sentiment and another algo account…

I don't think these anti free speech "examples" have the effect that people who cite them expect. Yet they are used a lot which points to a striking disconnect in communication.

Ha this is so well put, thank you. But it does surprise that so many technologists are falling into this trap (disregarding the innovation because of the plethora of junk it enable…

I think adding .eth fell out of favor after Brantly Milligan was fired from his job and banned from Twitter.

Many of these may have been dropped as a response to Brantly Milligan being fired/canceled/banned from Twitter. At least that's why mine is up there. Could do some analysis on date…

they don't necessarily require ongoing maintenance, it depends how they are coded. some might even say the "correct" way is a non-upgradeable back-end (on-chain solidity contracts)…

just curious where you get the 30% figure. usdc borrowing on aave is 2.83% right now, which is practically reduced a further 0.97% by the AAVE incentives. most other stablecoins ar…

Andre is an innovator, both of protocols and token distribution methods. He invented the notion of a "fair launch" with YFI. Nobody was ever forced to interact with the contracts h…

Don't keep your backup fully available at your house for this reason. Figure out we way to split it up and distribute it, but with redundancy.

Yes you can get pretty far just signing stuff but without general availability of those attestations you are quite limited. That's a reasonable way to describe programmable blockch…

Not just currency but pretty much all financial services. I have blockchain based assets and have used an Ethereum based service to borrow against them to help buy a house. Tokens …

Agreed, this article highlights the important property (decentralized state) that programmable blockchain (web3/ethereum) provide and why that's needed to change the current power …

Nothing really has surprised me more than how difficult it had been for a lot of you to understand what the value is here. It is a database with a new property: data and rules for …

Researchers and devs have been and continue to work incredibly hard to ensure this stops being the case some time mid year 2022.

Current Ethereum is a non-scaling proof of concept. They kicked that can down the road, but the blueprint solution is now in and many of the components are built. The short of it i…

This eip goes against everything you are claiming. It is pro-user and pro-scaling. The current eth mainnet was always essentially a proof of concept. Everyone knows the goal has be…

Basically yes. If people on hn got their heads out of the sand they'd learn being in the space was pretty profitable because of all the incentives offered to users.

And will end entirely in a few months.

FYI, $200 is the current bid on that nft and isn't accepted by the seller for obvious reasons. BoredApeYachtClub nfts have a floor price of 52.42 ETH on opensea so the 66 ETH price…

Cryptocurrency (dumb term) just means token - it is a very broad concept. Tokens can have stable value pegged to a fiat, or represent share of a company, or a non-fungible item lik…
