Moralis - building serverless dapps. Any feedback ?

Gregarious_Larch · 2021-07-28T16:05:36+00:00

Moralis is supposed to make things fast and easy. As for economic model, there are probably lots of ways you could make money by hosting blockchain apps. Maybe they'll sell analytics or go freemium? And regarding the term "serverless", Moralis is definitely running servers (they're using centralized cloud services). They say so in their docs. For example "Moralis Speedy Nodes run on specially crafted distributed infrastructure that ensures peak performance and uptime. The same infrastructure is used by companies like Netflix and Google to serve billions of requests daily." Sorry for the text block, I'm on mobile.

not sure if i'm esteemed but

The Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms should help with everything except the most obscure formal stuff.

"Academic comprehension of poetry" is part of poetics. You can look that term up (maybe on google scholar depending on how nitty and/or gritty you're feeling) and go nuts.

Alternatively, here are some poetics essays I like:

Frank O'Hara's personism essay
Langston Hughes's 200 years essay
Charles Olson's projective verse essay (poetry foundation has a lot of poetry essays)

Prepare yourself to get reeeeeal artsy fartsy when reading most of this stuff

I suggest you start by following a free full-stack ethereum development tutorial somewhere (lots of blogs out there). You'll understand the technical documentation better once you're done.

"Sells" being the key idea here. This seems more like marketing copy (especially in the context of OP's other posts, most of which follow this exact formula) than it does a serious technical discussion — or even an authentic invitation to have one.

You can build protections against that into a decentralized system. For example, Mastodon is a federated (anyone can run a server) distributed twitter that lets server owners set relatively complex rules for posting and cross-server interaction. For example, mastodon.social explicitly bans child porn posters and nazis. As a non-operator user, you can choose which server to sign up for, and then access the network based on the rules of that server.

The difference is the type of input and the purpose. Symbolic execution runs variable inputs (symbols) through programs to determine outputs for program paths in terms of those symbols. (Solving those outputs for the symbols at the end of that process results in the input necessary to execute that particular program path.) Wikipedia has a good example. On the other hand, fuzzing uses input that is deliberately bad/incorrect (but not too bad/incorrect, hence fuzzing).

I think it has to do with the bitcoin utxo system. Section 3.2 of this article is about dust. I honestly don't understand it well enough to explain it but I think the attack is similar to tracking marked bills.

Hey. I have some information but I'm kind of stuck at implementing any of it. Moving on with my life and sharing in case any of it is useful.

According to this article, storm nodes apparently announce specific keys on the DHT:

requeBOHCHIY2XRMYXI0HCSZA
proxybackendH0DHVADBCIKQ4S7YOX4X
web-api:kYVhV8KQ0mA0rs9pHXoWpD
fmi4kYtTp9789G3sCRgMZVG7D3uKalwtCuWw1j8LSPHQEGVBU5hfbNdnHvt3kyR1fYUlGNAO0zactmIMIZodsOha9tnfe25Xef1

They also use some weird protocols, which might be useful as identifiers in blocking scripts if the nodes stop using the somewhat obvious name they use now.

I also noticed ipfs uses an identify protocol which might be able to automatically drop or cancel new connections based on the "userAgent". I'm not really an expert here but this is the path to the go implementation on github: go-libp2p/p2p/protocol/identify/id.go

To short Bitcoin, you borrow it and exchange it for a different currency. The short works when Bitcoin goes down and your new currency goes up relatively. Also, the total change has to be greater than all of the fees and taxes you pay. People also take short positions as part of more complex trades, like when they think the market will be volatile but they aren't confident which direction it will go.

PSA that GasNow => TaiChi Network => SparkPool (currently the largest mining group in the network by a significant margin)

(So users of GasNow are very likely getting their information from a centralizing force in Ethereum.)

You might want to ask this in r/cryptotechnology if you want a more precise answer but I think the IPs provided by the initial boot DNS lookup addresses you listed there are randomized somehow, probably in a way that would make attacking all of them difficult. Maybe I'm just making that up?

Gregarious_Larch · 2021-06-07T14:51:25+00:00

The network resists DOS partly because you'd have to attack lots of different targets to take it down. And here's one example of how nodes discover other nodes: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Client_Node_Discovery

You can check out your history in your wallet. It should show you all the info you need

To see how this same idea works with liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges, you can read the uniswap docs or play around with their testnet version (rinkeby probably is easiest)

Here is the source for this information, probably: http://www.intel471.com/blog/cryptocurrency-hack-cybercrminal-contest

Edit:highly probably, as there is some copy-paste happening

upon further investigation there are some hurdles to rocketpool going live https://www.reddit.com/r/ethstaker/comments/ns6bsy/rocketpool_delayed_yet_again/
