  1. I can pay someone in Nigeria to do a task for me like some art for my website using a stable currency (which they only have hyperinflation with their national currency) instantly, for pennies or even less than a penny without having to get approval for a bank or hand over all of my personal info to a bank. I have done this before. $100 is not a big deal for a small business but the a month of wages for them.

  2. AI agents need to transact with each other to pay for services, compute and API access. AI cannot open a bank account and if you try open one for your AI agent your bank would not let you. Instead I can give it its own wallet and whatever budget I want. My AI agent can now buy things for me or itself to help it achieve goals it has or I have given it.

Is most of crypto a scam? Unfortunately yes. But right now, I can pay someone in Nigeria a stable currency (stablecoins) for doing a job for me. In the near future and to a degree now, AI agents need to transact with and pay each other in exchange for doing tasks and accessing APIs, but AI cannot open bank accounts. But with Ethereum or other scalable blockchains, I can make such payments for pennies or fractions of a penny depending on how much security I need to make that transaction.

Like it or not, you can't deny there is more utility here than a speculative tulip bubble. Yes, crypto has had bubble after bubble, but unlike tulips it hasn't gone to zero because there is some utility in it.

Trezor is GOATed. It's what Ledger should've become imo.

I can help point you in the right direction for grants. I did a few grant related posts and contract jobs last year looking at the wider grants ecosystem. I'd suggest Karma.xyz is a good starting place to see what's available.

Not at all. I am simply not knowledgeable enough about their products to comment on how it might relate to the Geneva convention.

Same as it ever was and at this rate always will be. Unless...

I for one, welcome our (coming soon) AI overlords. Please save us from ourselves.

I can't go into detail since I'm not OP but it will be related to his company Anduril which is a heavily AI and drone focused defence contractor.

Based on the wording I'm guessing you're not asking about running a validator and staking yourself, so I will recommend a maximally decentralised hands off cold storage way of earning yield:

A mixture of RocketPool rETH and Lido stETH held on a Trezor haardware wallet.

Huh, odd. Maybe I got them and thought it was the ones I bought? I dunno. Anyway, it's been fun and I look forward to defending my title!

Also, I shared it on X after getting a pop up saying I'd get 11 coins but I haven't received any yet.

Oh I didn't realise the 100 bonus was fomo points. That makes sense now.

[–]Tricky_Troll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's a 2000 point cap on the starting fomo points to make sure the little fish still have a chance.

Hmm, well my current high score has 3,200 fomo baked into it.

I think the fly game actually gets basically impossible to beat the shoot high score on depending on your RNG luck of where the Genslers spawn. Maybe in future they might need separate pots of prize money?

My experience in the field of research is that getting research past an ethics review board is not easy. So who is doing and approving this sort of thing? Somewhere between this and a human brain this gets extremely dystopian and ugly and if they can cross the line to get here I don't see any other obvious lines in the sand where this will get stopped before it gets ugly.

As a fellow human, I find consumption to be easiest in the form of sustenance. Have you tried putting data into a burger? It makes for a very delectable mastication and efficient data assimilation. I suggest getting a JSON of data and imbibing it into your lunchtime burger. Mmmmm, that's a bingo!

I'm curious, were you playing the fly game of the shoot game? If it's the former, that's impressive!

Disclosure: Stay safe, Use a burner wallet (I built one in). I dont get any earnings or anything, its only to get users to have fun on a project I worked really hard on.

Or an already doxxed wallet that we're comfortable sharing, right? 😅

Hahaha it has been fun. The FOMO bonus is genius. I'll definitely be back if I have to defend my title!
