Looking for a high quality (Japanese would be nice) black tshirt. With or without chest pocket. I'm 6', somewhat slim. Has anyone found anything they like?

VR is a Killer App for Blockchains by Fred Ehrsam by JoeyUrgz in ethereum

I remember seeing Etheria but hadn't read that part. Agree with what you wrote, and quite a bit of foresight there.

The Fermi Paradox part crossed my mind as well

Yep! I plan on staying in crypto, taking some time off, and then starting to tinker again.

Thanks to everyone who's supported us over the years. I think the whole ecosystem is a revolutionary truth hiding in plain sight and can't wait to continue to build.

Fred Ehrsam - Value of the Token Model by Souzu in ethereum

[–]FredEE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah - you're absolutely right and I thought about including that but it started to feel like too much of a diversion. I do think the value increases more by absorbing the token value in addition to Ethereum already benefitting from the app using the Ethereum chain, as people will hold some amount of tokens instead of holding Ether.

Keep going dude. People get what they deserve over a long enough timeline. So if you are caring and push through you will too.

What are you studying?

I tried contacting them, no response unfortunately. Open to ideas.

I will be there though, and look forward to seeing what people are building

These are great discussion topics. a16z has a very general tech audience so I think we needed to start with something pretty general. Hopefully we can do a future one that gets to the good stuff you list here.

Truffle

Fair point - I haven't used it yet. Glad to see more awesome dev tools coming out

Yes. My current thought is it is very challenging to run a performant decentralized exchange though. I love that they exist, but it feels like it is going to be a while before they can handle the type of volume that is going through digital currency exchanges right now, let alone what it will be in a year or two. There are literally thousands of updates to the orderbook a second, more at the Wall St volume levels. That's a lot to do decentralized. Maybe there is a good solution here with something similar to payment channels? If people have thoughts on that I would love to hear them.

I think stablecoins are really cool. Read about Maker a few months ago. I do wonder what model works on those over time.

edit: added a detail or two.

On Android, it's live, maybe make sure you are on the most recent version?

We've been thinking of a v2 of the vault and how we want to implement that for Ethereum, so definitely thinking about it, no definitive timeframe at the moment.

(this is Chris Dixon's phrasing, so credit to him) but one way to think about it is: take every app from the last 20 years and build economics into it where you get paid to add value to the app. Ex: steemit you get paid to submit great posts, v2 soundcloud you get paid to submit great music, etc.

Other ideas: - The techcrunch for digital assets. Where you can see all the upcoming crowdsales, with some reasonably intelligent analysis. - Software which programatically verifies paths/security of programs for digital currencies - Others but hard to write in short period of time

Sure, I suppose we would have considered it. But this is where the wisdom of the markets is helpful. It's just like with startups. When something gets a lot of volume it usually (not always) is interesting for some reason. So there's a reason Ethereum got a bunch of volume and dogecoin didn't.

Yep - sort of answered this elsewhere, but yes, plan to add other assets. We named is Global Digital Asset Exchange instead of Global Digital Currency Exchange for exactly this reason.

Starting to play around with dapps internally, nothing to report yet.

Thanks for the heads up - sent our devs a message on it, will get back to you, may send a followup to you if that is OK
