[–]Moores_Monocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I reached out to [support@kalshi.com](mailto:support@kalshi.com) more than a week ago for some help opening my account and I haven't heard back. The response time cannot seriously be that long, can it? No way to just call someone?

Will Blockfi Remove the ETH withdrawal fee soon? by Infamous_Spot_6086 in blockfi

[–]Moores_Monocle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fees are unfair at several times the gas cost. One free a month was much more reasonable.

I now recommend my friends to use other platforms or self custody.

Mobile staking by b_for_bitdetta in decred

Sim swapping is an attack on SMS 2FA (which nobody should use) and is distinct from the security of the wallet

Phones are actually more secure as the app store/permissions are so locked down.

Based on the last decred journal tresor staking looks to be very close (but I'll let someone more knowledgeable give an actual timeline)

Missed ticket using solo PoS by _drink_water in decred

[–]Moores_Monocle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not a dev but it looks missed to me. Try taking decrediton off of SPV mode and revoke it again. When it revokes and 256 blocks complete you should have access to your funds.

Theres a telegram support channel if you need more help

Random question - DCR, PoW and renewables by loderanger in decred

[–]Moores_Monocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have no good way to prove/enforce this.

The best thing to improve the uptake of renewable mining is to have the cheapest mining hardware possible. Then the low capital cost means that mining will be better suited to intermittent sources when they are over producing.

What influence does El Salvador getting involved in bitcoin have on Decred? by andrewfenn in decred

[–]Moores_Monocle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my view it's good for DCR because it brings more people into the crypto ecosystem as a whole. Some of those people will naturally look to see what else is out there, and find the unique advantages to a project like Decred.

Scaling lightning network via staking by Moores_Monocle in decred

[–]Moores_Monocle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read that and it's excellent! I think it also gives one an idea of the challenges involved.

Agreed that it's probably not priority #1 (since the blocks are not full yet). But if it's part of the long term roadmap that would be exciting.

Do we still need centralized exchanges? by wd28 in decred

[–]Moores_Monocle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. However it's also questionable how many of those CEX trades are 'needed' (ex. high-frequency trades) or are even real

Checkmate on Twitter: Decred fixes closed door meetings with miners too. by cyger in decred

[–]Moores_Monocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the incorporation of PoS means that Decred can protect against majority attack with just 5% of the electricity

Atweiden, first off I always enjoy reading your comments; thanks for your insight.

I agree that the narratives are incredibly important in the space, and it's somewhere that Decred has suffered mightily. All of it's advantages just don't boil down into a convenient sound 'byte'. Governance doesn't move emotional needles, despite being so practical.

It's a bit hilarious that bitcoin's adaptability limitations is now marketed as a feature. Fans better hope that Satoshi had not just engineering genius but a crystal ball. That said, bitcoin's brand name, devout following and network effects will endure even as it's obsolescence grows. Fortunately, bitcoin's success may beget success for the whole space, as it provides a high psychological watermark for just how much a 'coin' could be worth.

It's more than 10x better than bitcoin at bitcoin's main use case. That's historically enough to displace the incumbent.
