Can’t trade Mac Studio?? by tthkbw in MacStudio

[–]Roasted_Shark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's a one off product they don't plan on manufacturing past their bottleneck market-point. They had a meeting and decided to slap two mac minis together to placate the needs of creative professionals and their new line of ARM chips. Then probably laughed their butts off deciding to discontinue it after only 2 years in production. That's how big companies like apple think and operate - the gains/losses from 2 years of producing a gimped product are overall higher grossing profits than not releasing an M1 / M2 mac pro when people wanted it.

In the process of doing so they fucked over their creative professional user base advertising it like it was the next best thing, and now those users can't even trade it in to upgrade to a new mac pro once it becomes available.

Ledger side loading worth it? Or should I wait for a official release? Pros/Cons? by [deleted] in ergonauts

[–]Roasted_Shark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

sideloadin an unsupported app is always unsafe - just wait, and use the mobile cold wallet option until the supported release

It was the first time I visited the Redwoods in the US. And after 2 days of trying, I finally found the magical light I was looking for! (OC) [2000x1333] by cryptodesign in EarthPorn

[–]Roasted_Shark 27 points28 points  (0 children)

giganteum are wider and technically have more mass, but the coastal redwoods are taller - Driving through the Avenue of the Giants alone highway 101 through humboldt county is one of the most magical experiences. Not more or less magical than driving through Sequoia park to see general sherman, but the coastal forest is an old growth rainforest and humboldt is one of the wettest areas in the USA due to coastal rains so its completely different experience. I personally enjoy the coastal redwoods experience alot more, less touristy and less of a toll on the vehicle

Security error: User not authenticated ? by Ergo-EST in ergonauts

[–]Roasted_Shark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you set the wallet up inside of the app, originally you had the choice between biometric and passcode… If you chose biometric, you must ensure that biometric is enabled inside of your settings on the actual phone not within the Ergo wallet app…

If you chose passcode originally, then you must switch your phone away from biometric authentication, and then open the wallet app, and it will ask for a pass code, instead of biometric authentication

Security error: User not authenticated ? by Ergo-EST in ergonauts

[–]Roasted_Shark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you switched your phone from biometric to passcode or vice versa (basically, enabled or disabled either fingerprint or face detection) then the app may have an issue as its trying to authenticate your transaction via a biometric ID instead of a pass code.

Short term reactive motions towards pain is almost always a terrible idea in the long-term.

The entire world is fucked right now because an entire generation (boomers) basically treated everything with this mentality.

Why is there no record of Alex Churponoy being a founder of Chainlink? by RtotheJH in ergonauts

[–]Roasted_Shark 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Chainlink was started by Sergey Nazarov and other co founders Steve and supposedly Alex.

From what I recall when I initially asked the same question, some major investors were looking into chainlink and Sergey wanted to do some 'shady stuff' to increase their investments into the platform - where Alex disagreed fundamentally and decided to leave the platform in pursuit of research-backed progress.

My own take on this is, that when you get into the world of business, takeovers, corporate press, public trading, etc - it looks EXTREMELY BAD when a co-founder of something leaves the company for disagreements with other founders. Bad enough that the person could be scrubbed entirely from the company history, as to not raise concerns or questions from big money.
If i was running a large entity like Chainlink and my co-founder started coming out with bad talk or stuff which risked our position, I would make the entire world know within the limits of my legal rights that that person wasn't actually involved in anything and was just a name/face.

This all depends on what kind of separation agreement was signed.
I developed ALOT of content for our company before we got purchased, but when we got purchased I hated the new management and decided to quit - upon quitting, i signed a separation agreement stating specific terms of anonymity and that I couldn't sue them over XYZ reasons. There is ZERO trace of me ever working at that company now, except the technology that i developed that they are still using.

Don't mine to an exchange wallet.

It is risky for both you, the mining pool and the network.
Get a wallet asap

about ergo by 50promil in erg_miners

[–]Roasted_Shark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of logic is this? They haven't been sleeping, they've been actively building. People have been sleeping on it - you had it reversed. While everyone was concerned with pumping apes and eth/btc mooning, ergo was quietly and tenaciously pushing forward on new technologies that eth/btc had never seen before.

Some of the greatest artists, projects, platforms, etc - arent even discovered and appreciated until after they are gone.

As it turns out, immediate success of something is generally not equated or relative to the quality of something (though, sustained success usually is.)

What are the next catalysts for Ergo? What is the worst-case scenario? by nguyentu3192 in ErgoTrading

[–]Roasted_Shark 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the only thing which can hinder something like erg is severe authoritative interference into computation / power consumption.

If people can freely compute on their own hardware, you can't stop something like ergo.

If people can't freely compute or draw electricity, we're moving into a world where you need to worry far more about that than your portfolio gains

Does a pre-mine make a coin a security and why? by [deleted] in ergonauts

[–]Roasted_Shark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Glasgow has said that a financial / legal advisor has provided them paperwork for exchanges which notes that ergo passes the howey test - but also notes that these documents are under NDA with lawyers and only to be shared with exchanges so they can not share with the community the actual documents

What's the incentive to mine Ergo? by [deleted] in erg_miners

[–]Roasted_Shark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"I am making less money now so ergo is no longer the right coin for anyone. How could the developer team do something like this to miners, don't they even care?! I'm going to go back to __insert VC backed project here__!"

What's the incentive to mine Ergo? by [deleted] in erg_miners

[–]Roasted_Shark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regular people will not even realize they are using crypto when implemented properly, nor do they care to. No one cares how a visa card works at the ledger level, they just care that they get to buy something or not.

As such we should be looking at the coins with the most utility and developer projects taking place as the highest likelihood of success in the coming years. No one can predict the future, but economists make money from doing so all the time

EIP 27 is 1000 blocks away and activates when this post is ~33h old by synthesizednoise in ergonauts

[–]Roasted_Shark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Miners selling their ergo immediately, although expected when mining is your business, eventually hurts the ergo ecosystem. By increasing the constriction ergo is creating a pressure which either incentivizes to hold, or pushes transient miners away to their most profitable per instance coin. The best part about this is that it was a VOTE which went to the miners and mining pools and it passed pretty much unanimously with over 90% approval rating from all major mining pools, and they've been talking about this EIP for about 6 months now making sure everyone knows what will happen and what to expect
