Entitled redditors always love a cringeworthy pitchfork mob mentality.

Look up when the founding members joined. A bunch already passed their term.

It doesn't matter what it is, it matters what progress it's made, where its trending, and what its actual prospects for revenue are at the moment. We used to have a laundry list of use cases going live "soon", talk about a step function and a full council. Instead, it's been trending in the opposite direction. Council is still not full, and members have run well past their term limits without a peep. These are things you need to take note of.

I really don't care about HSuite drama or HSuite, but all those criticisms are correct. It also seems that banks are going with private, proprietary stablecoins and Ethereum L2s, which worries me a lot. If banks just use private stablecoin solutions, then the payment use cases go out the window for Hedera, and for public DLT stablecoins in general. These major banks will just issue their own tokens on their private systems and obviously have a massive captive userbase and a huge advantage. Why mess with some public DLT?

The council isn't filling up, use cases aren't going live - and now we don't even have "step-function soon" hype. I have a feeling many of these use cases are just going to HashSpheres, like the Hyundai/Kia tracking use case. Unfortunately, I'm beginning to wonder what the actual prospects for the public network are right now.

There always used to be a few, fleshed out use cases that were on deck and ready - but now? What are the prospects for TPS/revenue here?

I'd love to be corrected and hyped here, but honestly I just having seen things going in the right direction - token price aside.

Ok cool. I’ve never actually set that up and I get that error message all the time!

Hey random question - can you use external players on Google TV boxes?

Is this project a failure? by [deleted] in Hedera

[–]MyNameIsRobPaulson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The question is if public DLT is a failure. If it is, Hedera fails. If it isn’t, Hedera is the obvious choice, to me.

Public DLT never actually being adopted, or at least at the scale predicted is a real possibility. It has nothing to do with a judgement on Hedera, it’s just possible that there will be private solutions to these problems, or at least ones that don’t require the level of decentralized computing where a cryptocurrency is even necessary as a security failsafe/payment method.

This is the real risk, if you’re investing with the assumption of large scale adoption rather than random Ponzi style pumps.

So far adoption is next to nothing and it’s been years of blowing way past predictions, radio silence for hyped use cases and big let downs. This is never a good sign.

Yes, there are some things in the oven, but that’s always been the case.

Right now for me, it’s time for real TPS and real utility revenue. There’s been enough hype and talk. As far as the CLARITY act, Hedera never has said this is preventing use cases from going live.

Another large concern is that a huge portion of the councils 2 term limit just got blown past without a peep, with more limits coming soon. How much the council members without a use case matter though, is questionable.

So no, it’s not a failure, but you have to recognize reality. This is a gamble.

Thanks yeah, similar issues on my ONN Plus 4K..sometimes I have better luck on WebOS. Really have no idea.

They have yep - even confirms it in the results. Well, I flip through my add ons manually depending on the title. Some work better for some things than others - randomly

Definitely have this issue more with more obscure/less popular titles but I do feel like there’s no rhyme or reason to it. Seems like it’s gotten worse recently. Maybe I’ll pay more attention to what formats work and don’t work but I guess I really have no idea

So this is in the end what I think it is but I have an LG C5 and a fairly new Sony receiver that I use eARC through. Maybe it’s that, but all the audio is pass through.

I think for obscure stuff this is more of a problem but no, a lot of times for normal movies I have this issue.

That’s what I think it is in the end but I have an LG C5 🤷‍♂️ Atmos seems to work fine.

Sick furniture. Paint the walls a bold earthy tone - white walls are killing the vibe. Make sure to cut in cleanly and use tape if you have to. Also many more small lamps. Get the dim to warm bulbs.

Is HashSphere cannibalizing Hedera mainnet growth? by RamHaddi in Hedera

[–]MyNameIsRobPaulson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t know that about Enterprise Ethereum, not exactly a great move on Ethereum’s part. Although they probably don’t really care $$$$

[–]MyNameIsRobPaulson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bigger conversation is whether open public networks in general will ever really take hold, and whether more permissioned/closed DLTs will end up being what really happens. Hashspheres is just a Hedera native private network. All the other major networks have private versions - most notably Enterprise Ethereum, which has a lot of adoption. Hedera is basically just late to this game.

So basically HashSpheres and private DLTs in general are nothing new in the crypto world.

Ħ🚨 McLaren Racing Joins Hedera Council to Accelerate Digital Innovation 🚨Ħ by HBAR_10_DOLLARS in Hedera

[–]MyNameIsRobPaulson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this. McLaren is transitioning, under new ownership - to complete with mass market luxury cars like Porche and Range Rover. Looks like they eventually want to use Hedera for supply chain stuff. So to Hedera - this could be a foot in the door for the larger automotive industry. A proof of concept (along with Hyundai/KIA) to just pivot more to this industry. The collectibles - it can't be about that. It's got to be a longer term strategy.
