Hello! Does anybody know any nice blogpost that contains a summary of the current development of crypto and dapps? Any opinion on ICOs and their underlying value? Thanks :)

I don't think you'll find a sober explanation of cryptocurrency with all its promises and pitfalls here.

#4I was thinking about doing an ask HN - asking if anyone knows of some ways to:
have a way for site visitors to donate crypto (and maybe other eg paypal, etc) - to a bucket..
and have that bucket setup with some if then rules to do things like auto-send money every month to a hosting company, if at-end-of-month - bucket has over 1k - send %30 to x charity, send 30% to whatever coin address..
I did some searches via the big engines and was fining mainly the big players that have interest in doling out info outside the desired silos it seemed.

#5Forgive me, but this question sounds anachronistic. E.g. ICO is hardly a thing anymore. There are many ways to look at this: cryptography, engineering, financial, social, legal. Each one of these areas is so rich with new developments and subtleties that no one person can draw even an accurate high-level picture of the whole field.

I don't know of any service but if you were to implement it, it's a cool small side/learning project. You can execute this logic either on-chain (smart contract) or off-chain (any programming language) or both. Here are some pointers:
Crypto (on-chain): This is pretty straightforward with a smart contract. The only thing is that you have to call your contract at the end of every month (that can be setup with a cron off-chain). The alternative is to offer a bounty for someone to make that call for you but you must find a way to advertise this bounty.
Non-crypto (off-chain): use PayPal/whatever api on a cron
Non-crypto (on-chain): You need to look for Paypal/whatever oracles (if there are any) or create your own
Crypto (off-chain): use a blockchain api and connect to a hosted node (eg infura) or run your own

#7I think your question is from 2018 :) Have a look at Delphi Research (https://delphidigital.io/research) and Messari.io (https://messari.io).

glad to hear thoughts! - I've thought of this being a need before.. and then ended up in hospital for extended time and realized that without me doing deposits and paying bills, things can get disconnected and perhaps erased.. this could be a method to help people on extended vacations or to put small projects on auto-pilot while they focus on other things.
Need to make this happen.
I could help, but not sure I can pull it off with current knowledge and skills.
