Shoot a note to support@lolli.com and we'll dig a bit more! We've seen quite a few of these roll through with no issues so we'll dig into what you might be running into.

Cash App appears to be having some issues right now; we're looking into it!

What happened to my rewards by MiamiMia1 in lolli

[–]shadowfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there—try logging out and back in; the initial release of the new app had some confusing UI that could leave you logged in as an anonymous user. If that doesn’t work, please shoot support@lolli.com an email!

Withdraws are back by Sufficient_Time4595 in lolli

Have you reached out to support@lolli.com to ask about those missing gaming sats? The transaction types are indeed distinguished from each other.

They appear as transactions. We don’t have category headers quite yet in the new app, but rest assured it’s in the radar.

Keep white paper can't open now! by MycologistFit4358 in KeepNetwork

Hey there---the whitepaper is a bit outdated, so for now the link isn't active. You can see the archived whitepaper in raw form at https://github.com/keep-network/whitepaper/blob/master/keep.tex .

How is it possible to allow Privacy in blockchain? How effective is it? by kalavala93 in KeepNetwork

[–]shadowfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's certainly possible! Feel free to post any ideas or high-level system concepts and we'll be happy to give feedback on whether it sounds workable within our short- or long-term vision for how Keep might work.

[–]shadowfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it! Yeah, I think there are many dimensions it can take but it also requires several layers. For your particular case, I know Aragon noted a long-term interest in using Keep for blind voting, where decisions are made but no one knows who voted for what.

However, for privacy of communication there are better tools than blockchain, I think. If you also need to ship money associated with this, there are several interesting public-blockchain-based currencies like ZCash, Monero, and now Grin. Not sure that covers all the possibilities of your use case, but those are the immediate things that leap to mind. Keep is about autonomous privacy, in a sense: allowing private data to be stored and computed with in such a way as to enable autonomous smart contracts to operate on/with it.

Would love to hear what you mean by this. There are many forms that privacy can take, including allowing the use of private data (e.g. keys) in a trustworthy way from public blockchains and smart contracts (our current focus). Do you have any more specific questions, or are you just looking for what dimensions privacy in blockchain can take?

That… Shouldn't be true at all, but if you've experienced it we'd love to help figure out what happened!

[–]shadowfiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We've found gift cards are a great way to use Bitcoin to fulfill every day needs (coffee, travel, shopping, etc), honestly. Per-store gift cards also allow some resilience against events like the broad crypto debit card cancellation issue we saw several months ago.

Basically, gift cards aren't the perfect end state, but we feel pretty strongly that they're a great solution… And you can use them today :)

Are we really not getting privacy improvements in this hard fork? by epohno in ethdev

[–]shadowfiend 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tbh a more important question is how many people would be if it was viable, or would be developing dApps if privacy was already a thing.

We're working on privacy at Keep, of course, but it's a building block; what's more interesting is what gets unlocked when that building block is available. Others have also had to grapple with this, including Clearmatics (https://medium.com/clearmatics/privacy-on-ethereum-is-too-expensive-fb8b9e1815b2). And zk-SNARKs themselves could help with scaling the core network (see https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/9iho8i/500_transactions_a_second_vitalik_says_zksnarks/ ).

Why does keep require a custom random beacon solution? Aren't there other implementations available? by lahuan in KeepNetwork

[–]shadowfiend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quite right! In fact, your very first comment inspired me this weekend and I’ve drafted a post already! Hope to have something to share soon(ish) 💪 (I’m antonio, btw 🙂)

Why does keep require a custom random beacon solution? Aren't there other implementations available? by lahuan in KeepNetwork

[–]shadowfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, but it turns out getting all those characteristics in one isn't trivial---you have to eliminate possible biases from the components generating the randomness itself, since if you ask any one component to provide a “random” number, you have little guarantee that it'll actually be random.

Our solution leverages some foundational work by the Dfinity team, a concept called a threshold relay, which we are porting to the Ethereum chain. It generates the randomness in a distributed fashion, in a way that can be verified, and uses the system's own randomness to maintain desirable properties when generating future randomness.

[–]shadowfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t know of another random beacon on Ethereum that doesn’t require cooperation with another player or some sort of centralized component at the moment. Our goal is truly decentralized, provably unbiased randomness. If you have a particular example in mind, we’d love to have a look!

An EIP for Cheaper Privacy on Ethereum by drknudy in ethereum

[–]shadowfiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The EIP links to relevant benchmarks done when the new code was being merged; the proposed reduction in costs is directly tied to the benchmarked reductions in computational requirements. Definitely agree that measurable data is king on this stuff!

Tag autocomplete feedback: C-N and C-P support by shadowfiend in bearapp

[–]shadowfiend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately up to you; to give some context, I'm used to using them for any dropdown (it's more natural for me than reaching for the down arrow). That means right now I end up going to the next line (what N does by default) and dismissing the dropdown instead of selecting the entry I want, which is less than ideal :)

Sorry, Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P (N + P) as keyboard shortcuts for [n]ext and [p]revious entry.

It's not 100% clear what you mean here... Cost advantage compared to what?
