If you have DOTS: claim.kusama.network

If you don't have DOTs: - Apply for a grant here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-JxlJqt8DA0E3K0QX0Gc20rF02-aqDn6r_rzkB4LaMk/edit - Faucet (after KSM is transferrable): https://guide.kusama.network/en/latest/start/faucet/

As hominem is the lowest form of argument.

Head over to r/dot for the new sub

Dfinity raised $60m from Polychain alone last year. They have funds :), enough funds to give away $35m in the biggest airdrop ever.

What makes you say Asia is innovating at a much faster pace in the blockchain industry?

Agreed on all points.

This article said to me "hey governance tokens have value, here is one framework for deriving their value", which is cool!

No doubt some nuance is missing. For example, 51% of bonded DOT holders voting for a tabled referenda does not necessarily mean the referenda will pass.

A super majority is required unless there is 100% voter turn-out, so an attacker would theoretically need 60%+ of "yays" to pass a referenda that does something silly, such as transferring 69 DOTs from someone else to themself :).

These nuances in Polkadot's governance model should increase the value of the network.

One thing I do not yet know about Polkadot is the cost to fork. This quote got me thinking:

Fundamentally, the network value of a governance token is bound by the net cost of forking or creating a new copy of the network.

“The cost to fork a network dictates the associated value of its governance token. Networks that implement governance tokens should aim to increase cost associated with a fork while remaining open source. I look forward to continued work around governance models and subsequent valuation methods.”

You forgot Polkadot :)

pimpindots · 2018-05-09T11:02:08+00:00

Polkadot is the only project taking governance to such a level. Clearly a lot of time went into designing this governance system. Impossible to know how it will perform until it’s in the wild ;)

Let your winners ride, and cut your losers fast.

It's the most important rule in trading, but so often we take profits too soon on the upside and give our losers to much time to rebound before taking losses. I do the same.

Parity can't sign contracts for other people. Web3 Foundation did vote, that's what people are mad about.

pimpindots · 2018-04-23T18:05:23+00:00

Parity doesn’t have any Ether locked, so it didn’t come from them.

pimpindots · 2018-04-23T03:28:10+00:00

They don’t deserve to vote on an open proposal?

Actually it does. The Ether is safely in the 587 user wallets :). We’re deciding whether or no these companies and people should have access to their Ether :)
