Awesome, we're looking for a multi-chain version of infura at earthwallet.io! Sounds like exactly what we need on the Coinbase Cloud page, but it's a bit tricky to find the docs for this type of application. Definitely a great idea though, hopefully we can make it happen!

Lightning though... Amiright!? I'm setting up a node as soon as my ssd arrives.
You are setting up a Lightning node? For?
> You are setting up a Lightning node?
Yes.
> For?
To learn, and for myself and friends to use. Vague question.
I want the Lightning network to be the BTC solution to transaction throughput and privacy, but I don't know that it is. Figure best way to find out is to get my hands dirty.

#143Doesn't this further centralize something that's supposed to be decentralized?

Coinbase CEO here. Thx for mentioning it, we’ll get that fixed. This is an early release from us and I would expect there to be a few quirks. Please keep sharing any feedback.
Thoughts on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28588896 ? Non-techie Family member got scammed with this last month and lost $4k ETH while using coinbase. Thought I would let you know since it seems very common at the moment, might be worth having an alert to users not to send ETH to anyone who says they will 2x their coins. Cheers,
I'm not sure it's coinbase's responsibility to tell users not to run with scissors. Anyone who thinks sending money to random links they see on the internet that are promising to send them more money back for free probably shouldn't be entrusted with managing money.

This post doesn’t seem at all appropriate to me. Those scams are the most bottom of the barrel, low effort, have existed forever, and have nothing to do with Coinbase at all. I worry that pinging founders direct with this nonsense will keep them out of one of the few forums where I ever get to see them contribute.

Agree, and this quote from the OP's link is humorous in that regard: "While blockchain is best known for its association with cryptocurrencies, it has applications beyond this field. " This sentiment is just thrown around without evidence. Either a blockchain has an internal reward mechanism to account for the increased costs associated with it's execution or it is simply a more complicated and expensive database loo…
Good evidence is git, which is a blockchain (linked list of hashes).
without a way to resolve the canonical version without trusting a singular maintainer, git is not a blockchain. blockchains enforce consensus in a decentralized way, at least public blockchains do or should.

You know who can? Anyone in El Salvador.
> You know who can? Anyone in El Salvador. With an internet-connected smartphone with the app installed and whose neighbourhood stores are following the law. Which isn’t that many people.

Even if we call his numbers inflated and cut his number in half, it is still 1m people.

Complete agreement with this comment.
What should a founder do? Focus on their product, the better they become more scamers will attract, but is for the user to use some basic logic.
Otherwise, should they tell people that there is no such thing as Nigerian Prince? Because Nigeria is a Republic but some people don't even check the basics, they tend to just refuse their responsibility.

Depends. Most CEOs I interact with are anti-fragile. The legitimacy of crypto has a lot to do with CB, so it is in everyone’s best interest to fight scammers being front page promoted by YouTube:)

Well no, blockchain plus consensus algorithm does what you’re describing.
