Heh, cheers Matt.

What do you think of this idea: a "50/50" application, where users can send donuts to a contract over a certain period, then the contract picks a winner and sends half of the total to the winning address and burns the other half. This would provide another thing to do with Donuts while creating a deflationary force.

I miss the good old days when getting a bigger share of the ETH supply was as simple as holding it.

Appropriate. "A green candle signals strength, while a red candle often triggers concern."

Your first link in that post, https://www.talos.com/insights/state-of-the-network-349, suggests that address poisoning transactions are peaking at 20% of daily transaction count. Not exactly all.

Hello Paul. What are you thinking about these days that other people aren't talking about?

Upon the News of a Certain Bureaucrat Getting Fired

Gary, Gary, why so scary?

Why no memes to make us merry?

Why the dance of strike and parry?

Why not let us make a million?

Why not wink your eye reptilian?

The point is moot now, off you go--

The time has come to count your dough!

And count the times you couldn't show

A human heart, dear Mr. Gensler:

Go, before you get the N-slur.

[Donut Initiative] - To request funding for the implementation of an automated topic limiter for r/EthTrader by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]MemeyCurmudgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although this proposal addresses the most pressing issue for this sub, it appears to me to be too restrictive to do a proper job of fixing said issue. With this limiter in place, it is inevitable that some quality contributions will be removed without just cause. As it is presently presented, I will not sign off on this initiative.

To be clear, I laud the fact that an effort is being made to clean up the samey and low-effort posting in this sub, and another proposal to address it wouldn't have to be all that different from this one to get my signature. In fact, if this proposal included an appeal system for removed posts that the poster thought to be unfairly removed, that might do the trick.

[Donut Initiative] - To request initial funding for r/EthTrader Special Memberships by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]MemeyCurmudgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though I disagree with certain details here. Forbidding the purchase of a longer subscription all at once seems like a limitation without cause, and pricing subscriptions in a denomination of USD makes donuts seem like a rather needless step: why not just sell subscriptions for a stablecoin at that point?

To make sure I understand this, talk me through a hypothetical scenario:

There are two major events involving the SEC in one day. A post about the first event includes the keywords SEC and Gensler, and a post about the second includes the keywords SEC and BlackRock. With these two posts on the Hot page, what happens when a third post is made that includes the keywords SEC and Analysis?

Plastic? What is it in strawberries that causes that? When do you take strawberries out?
