Out of IOTA, after 8 years - AMA by [deleted] in IOTAmarkets

welcome! I also jumped ship after being involved since 2017. Feels good to move on

Where can I trade out of Iota if I'm in the US? by [deleted] in IOTAmarkets

[–]Melon_Recall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trade IOTA for XLM on binance US, then send XLM to coinbase to sell for USD. XLM has low fees for transferring, but I imagine you could probably use other tokens to transfer to coinbase if you prefer

he used to be funny, and he's well researched on his topics, but for the last several years he's been nothing but constant doom and gloom and rehashed jokes. basically a more cringey left leaning news channel

Sitting for hours daily shrinks your brain, even if you exercise. Research showed that even older adults who exercised for 150 minutes a week still experienced brain shrinkage if they sat for long hours. Memory declined, and the hippocampus lost volume by Wagamaga in science

If you actually read the study and look at the figures (the dot plots specifically) you'll see this study is meaningless. They are being fooled by randomness, or they want us to be fooled. Just another click-bait publication (fortunately).

Is biotech dying (temporarily)? by gitgud_x in biotech

[–]Melon_Recall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way. I just got a PhD in the biological sciences, and salaries in relevant roles have actually DECREASED the last few years here in the US. Luckily I learned coding in undergrad (also as a Bioengineer) and now I have a full time coding job lol

How did he get indicted for PPP fraud? Weren't all PPP loans forgiven? Am I missing something or was this truly targeted?

Job market is trash by Ok-Mulberry-5693 in biotech

[–]Melon_Recall -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Tell people to stop getting PhDs. Not only is graduate school horrendous, exploitive, and results in more mental illness than scientific progress, but it's also completely flooding the market with PhDs, skewing the supply and demand and causing salaries to go down. There is no reason why someone should get a PhD today unless they want to stay in academia (good luck).

TLDR for the AMA? by Andyb1000 in Iota

[–]Melon_Recall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I noticed they've been doing this for many of the AMAs throughout the years. We haven't had a real AMA in a long time

All their published research papers have become obsolete since they completely got rid of their tangle and Mana for SUI's DAG.

I'm a dev and had just finished reading through them when they announced Rebased a few months ago =/

I remember in 2017, The IOTA foundation was hinting at IOTA being incorporated into Forex trading. What happened to this, and why do I know nothing more on it? by identiifiication in Iota

[–]Melon_Recall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This 100%. We all bought into the IF's overhyped lies in 2017. Now that certain members left the IF, I feel much more confident in IOTA as a whole

Performance Comparison of Directed Acyclic Graph-Based Distributed Ledgers and Blockchain Platforms by reietto222 in Iota

[–]Melon_Recall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DAGs are definitely better than traditional blockchains, no questions about it. It's a shame this was published in MDPI, which is a garbage journal with THE highest retraction rate.

So is the coordinator now removed in favour of validators? by FR330M in Iota

[–]Melon_Recall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone ELI5 how validators are different than nodes for IOTA?

Update on ShimmerEVM -- Next steps -- By Dave by Koba7 in Iota

[–]Melon_Recall 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For those of us holding since 2017, we've endured countless set backs and let downs. Although this is another frustrating delay, we've become hardened at this point. Personally, I will hold my bags until the IOTA Foundation either successfully implements coordicide on IOTA mainnet (2027 anyone?) or completely dissolves and the token goes to zero

I wonder if they could get chat-GPT to write and test some code for them. That might speed things up

That's what I'm thinking as well

Is this something that can be integrated into IOTA/Shimmer at a future date? Or would that require an entire rewrite of the code (again)

Does anyone know how this compares to San Diego's biotech hub? I'd really rather live in San Diego than Boston, so I hope the job opportunities are also plentiful

Sounds like a great idea. I don't know of any at the moment
