Please don't start yet another instance of the same old generic flamewar on HN. The issue isn't whether you're right or wrong, it's that we've had this flamewar hundreds of times already and nothing new comes of it. That makes if off topic for this site, which is supposed to be for curiosity. Curiosity withers under repetition and fries under indignation. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so..…
Are you going to flag them too?
My respect for Stripe plummeted when I reached out about a closed API and got a passive aggressive answer from support. I don't think I've ever gotten that kind of rude sarcasm/passive aggression from a simple support inquiry, and I vowed never to use their services again. Their competitors to this specific API were much nicer to work with and onboarded us after some basic introductions, so part of me wonders what ot…

2 weeks ago I left all but one discord, unfollowed all Web3 specific accounts on Twitter and stopped looking at Binance etc.
My life has improved considerably. I’m sure someone is getting rich in there but I can’t work out who or how amongst the hype, pumps, grifters, scams and outright criminals.
I’m ok missing the boat if it turns out to be any more than a raft. My sanity and concentration is worth far more than whatever rubbish they are all peddling.

Happy to see you’re taking this approach now Dang. It’s really killed a lot of threads and I hope conversations can now go up a level to the technical uses rather than generic ‘ponzi scheme’ claims.
And this announcement is an endorsement of the entire space which is full of scams, is this what you are also endorsing?
I just spent 12 months investigating crypto. I bought come coins, got lucky on that ENS airdrop, made a smart contract, bought an NFT, learned some Solidity, joined some Discords, listen to some podcasts, set up a miner and generally tried to learn about this area. 2 weeks ago I left all but one discord, unfollowed all Web3 specific accounts on Twitter and stopped looking at Binance etc. My life has improved consider…
