Agree, better to post this on a crypto platform. People who work in the crypto space seem to find more value in communities outside HN.

I'm not working in the crypto space but know others who are. Like any quickly developing industry, crypto is changing quickly. That means you can get in on the cutting edge, and st…

Anyone experimented with Sign in With Ethereum? Wallet based login and account management onchain.

I don't like doing laundry (sorting, washing, folding). It's just a chore I never have time for. Even if I get things washed I don't fold them and they sit there and get wrinkled. …

I was permabanned from eBay. My only thought was I linked to the vendor website, maybe HTML links are nonos or something.

"Proof of Humanity" is an interesting blockchain based project that aims to solve some of this. Doesn't prove you're not a scammer though.

As a long time user, it sounds like you would be greatly impacted by such a ban. Watch out! If you at all depend on eBay for your livelyhood, have a backup plan or parallel path. e…

I've also been permabanned from eBay. Buyer for 10+ years, occasional seller. Went to sell something alongside lots of listings for the same thing. Permabanned my account and my pa…
