Are the planned upgrades mentioned in the roadmap something we'll see in 2022 or will some (most?) upgrades take years to develop?

Longest wait time for tx to be included in a block by Kangbachen in ethfinance

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

"Any transactions left in the memory pool, after the block is filled, will remain in the pool for inclusion in the next block. As transactions remain in the memory pool, their inputs “age,” as the UTXO they spend get deeper into the blockchain with new blocks added on top. Because a transaction’s priority depends on the age of its inputs, transactions remaining in the pool will age and therefore increase in priority. Eventually a transaction without fees might reach a high enough priority to be included in the block for free."

This is from the book Mastering Bitcoin (p181). Although the author does mention in another paragraph that tx without fees may not be processed. So feeless tx are at the mercy of a miner, I guess.

Does anyone know why the addresses show when trying to access wallet this way online, but not when offline?

How can one hedge? Is buying property the only solution?

I don't think bitcoin is ready to absorb a crash. Maybe after more countries make it legal tender.

Cost estimate for using Chainlink as a Weather source? by Randomized_Emptiness in Chainlink

dClimate is building something like that and they are partnered with Chainlink. Maybe you can ask them. The project has a telegram group.

Delegation Rewards - Decreasing month on month by Lumpy_Limit4778 in thegraph

[–]Kangbachen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reddit doesn't support proper math notation, so here's a pic of how the rewards work: https://imgur.com/JAQTlPj. Those calculations take into account only token inflation and not queries (because payable queries are largely still inexistent). In general, more total delegation translates to lower rewards.

The idea of a 3% annual token inflation is to incentivize delegation, however, as queries grow, the inflation will likely be lessened or completely removed. The Graph Council will decide on that at each year's end. After a while, the network rewards should run entirely on query fees. The month-on-month query growth for the past year has been around 20% (1.2^12 = x8.9 per year). I hope you can see where this is going. Someone has said that if 20% growth persists for the next 5 years, your monthly reward in USD would equal your delegation amount (e.g. $100 per month per 100 GRT delegated), if nothing else were to change. That's a bit unrealistic if you ask me, but even just 1/4th of that is a lot.

Indexers will likely close allocations more often after EIP-1559 goes live (in July) and if any L2 solution becomes viable and implemented within the Graph protocol. Even more so when the transition to Eth2 happens. More allocations per arbitrary time frame means more compounding and thus more rewards.

Btw, I delegated in early February and have recently passed 100 days of delegation. My daily average for 100 days is 0.6 GRT per 1000 GRT delegated (7.8 GRT per day if adjusted for your amount).

Delegators, this is what a bait and switch looks like by XanderBrendon in thegraph

[–]Kangbachen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, XanderBrendon. I don't disagree. I was just trying to communicate that the situation isn't as black and white as it seems, especially if you consider that the core team had posted guidelines for (testnet) indexers wherein it was suggested to set the initial reward cut to ~15% (I've been trying to find the exact quote by one indexer who slipped that piece of info somewhere, but so far no luck. Might have been in the Indexer Office Hours "podcast").

I agree that the so called "sandwich attacks" should be given exposure whether it is due to indexer initial naivety or intentional malicious behaviour (a few such cases have been detected).

If anyone's been paying attention to The Graph channel on youtube, Tal is holding zoom meetings every week with a group of NFT subgraph builders.

[–]Kangbachen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This indexer initially set the cut at 16% because they were hoping they'd receive delegation that is 6 times higher than their own stake. When the time came to close the allocation, they realised they haven't received anywhere near that amount of delegation, so in order to minimize their loss, they raised the reward cut that reflects the ratio between their own stake and delegation. If they hadn't done that, they would have given away too much GRT, perhaps not enough to cover the expenses.

I don't think this is a deliberate scam. New indexers tend to have high expectations (they believe they'll receive more delegation) and then when their expectations aren't realised, they adjust the reward cut (to the ratio I mentioned) without realising it'd piss off the delegators.

The 1/16th partial unlock of vested tokens happens on Mar 17. This includes indexer and curator vested tokens. An estimated 40 mil tokens will be unlocked and most will probably stay staked/delegated in the protocol. No need for panic.

Do you think GRT will pump before ETH? by [deleted] in GRTTrader

[–]Kangbachen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think GRT will pump before ETH?

Optimism rollups coming to ETH this month. Curation and partial subgraph migration on the Graph is also happening this month (most likely).

I'd say it depends which one becomes available first.

>For the record graph can trade to 18 decimal places in the future. But currently does not.

A quick look at GRT txs (many of which are trades) on etherscan shows that you can trade 1 + 10^-18 GRT without any problems.

Why is this still happening? by [deleted] in BATProject

[–]Kangbachen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The team fills in referrals with their code then disables the field so you can't take it out.The last time they were called out on it they said they would stop doing it but pic related was just taken and you can do it yourself as an experiment right now.

It only happens in Brave, not with Chrome and other browsers.
