There are factions within crypto, some think the "end of history" looks like crypto replacing centralized systems. others (like myself) think those systems are complements and simp…

coinbase is to namebase as bitcoin is to handshake

the context for that comment is that handshake took a snapshot of the icann namespace. so any names icann adds or changes after the fact will conflict with the HNS namespace.

yeah. right now it's ~$0 since there's no fee competition, but as soon as the total names registered gets close to the limit (66 million) then the cost of renewall will go up and i…

total number of names "total", not total number per wallet

the way handshake addresses this problem is putting a cap on the total number of names that can be registered, and then users compete on fees in order to get their transaction mine…

I use it, and own a small portfolio of names on chain. "base" and "faq" are a couple of them. It's been pretty interesting to watch the ecosystem mature. Just recently a small dev …

There are a few blockchain based solutions to this problem. - Handshake - ENS - Namecoin My favorite so far is Handshake - a fork of the bitcoin protocol with added support for cov…

you only need hns.to if you haven't set up your system to resolve handshake names directly, or (theoretically) use a browser that has support baked in. It's on Brave Browser's road…

The true cost of any product is the project lifecycle cost. There are many cases where a serverless architecture would cut down on that.

thank you for making this public, even though it may not be perfect.

Can you go into a little more detail about who owns the bank account that users are depositing into when they use sparkswap?

It depends on how you interpret your jurisdiction's tax laws. in the united states there are some tax professionals that would count airdrops as taxable, and others that wouldn't i…

This is why anyone trading digital assets should use a tax tracker to understand the implications of each trade before they make it. I've spent some time building software for exac…

I actually disagree with this. As someone who uses linux as the primary build OS for my software projects, i need to know just enough to make things work but I don't necessarily wa…

This sounds like Blockstack. They've been in production with this for at least a year now.

I think the line of reasoning here is that money == speech

Hey HN, I'm Evan, one of the engineers working on ChainRelay. At a high level, ChainRelay is building out infrastructure for Ethereum apps, or any app that wants to get data from o…

you extract value from fat protocols by owning part of the protocol itself, then influencing the direction of the development by being part of the community.
