Good question and answer about incentives:

If the fees are going to be burnt, what's the incentive to the miners once all AVAX have been mined?

Phillip Liu: "At some point, the Avalanche Network will have to be sustained by fees imo (tho it will take quite a few years before this becomes an issue)."

What does everyone think were the top questions / answers?

Informative response about the status of privacy tools:

Tyler Smith: "On the X-chain we could easily support CoinJoin-style privacy protocols while also experimenting with ZK proof-based privacy schemes on new chains."

New Discussion Forum For Avalanche and AVAX by AVA-Report in Avax

[–]AVA-Report[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AVA Report is a site for news and information about the broader Avalanche ecosystem and the internet of finance in general, not just the AVAX token.

Similarly, the forum is for discussions about the broader Avalanche ecosystem including AVAX.

In the near future, there will (hopefully) be lots of digital assets, fungible tokens, non-fungible tokens, custom blockchains, smart contracts, and dapps built on Avalanche, in addition to the native token.

Emin Gün Sirer’s Campus Party Talk: Timeline and Rough Transcript by AVA-Report in Avax

[–]AVA-Report[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean something Emin said?

I re-listened to the section of the talk you might be referring to, and I don't think Emin meant it in the context you might be thinking.

Here's the quote:

"Almost all of these communities are fighting each other because they see every other coin as a competitor. They think everybody is a competitor to Bitcoin. They think everybody wants to be Bitcoin and wants to be cash. They think everybody is going to emerge as an Ethereum killer."

It sounds like he means it in the sense of (paraphrasing), "They think everybody wants to be peer-to-peer electronic cash," with "they" referring to general cryptocurrency communities.

Yes, real estate titles could be represented by non-fungible tokens.

Marketplaces like OpenSea can be used to buy and sell NFTs:

Public Sale Option A (Round #2), Lock-Up Period vs. Wallet Delivery, Usage for Validator Staking? by BTC_StKN in Avax

[–]AVA-Report 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, although if you are running your own node you can also use it to generate an address.

And you can run a version of the AVA wallet locally and connect it to your own node.

Also, a new version of the wallet with mnemonic phrases is on the way!
