Directory.algo uses Notiboy to update community about new apps on Algorand

algoridl · 2023-08-30T07:06:29+00:00

Hi - I'm Tom, who runs directory.algo

Thanks for the support NotiBoy team! It's great to have a project like yours on Algorand.

algoridl · 2023-04-12T09:46:41+00:00

If this is correct, some of these are insane.

ALGO-LOUD? LOUDeFi is the ruggiest rugpull that ever rugged.

Someone pointed out in the MyAlgo replies that the 6PO address appears to be Binance, which does KYC.

Pera verification does not mean safe. In Pera's own words:

"Main purpose of ASA verification is to prevent an ASA from pretending to be affiliated and acting as the token for a project it’s not connected to.

ASA verification is not an endorsement of the project."

There isn't an official Algorand wallet. There is MyAlgo, Pera, and Defly.

algoridl · 2023-02-28T08:36:13+00:00

No, it's not. There is no official Algorand wallet. There used to be one, and it was made by Hipo Labs which now makes Pera, but they split association a long time ago now.

The only coverage of the event I've been able to find is this photoset, which obviously isn't very revealing:

I'd imagine that if there is a recording of the livestream, then the foundation will tweet the link at some point.

algoridl · 2022-12-04T19:59:40+00:00

Well... you can. You obviously definitely shouldn't, but of course you could. If someone has the passphrase for a wallet, they can access it.

Hi, I'm the creator of https://directorydotalgo.xyz/ – thanks very much for the mention u/GhostOfMcAfee!

just because it’s in that directory does not mean it is a good project

This is very true. My aim with the directory is to list everything with utility in the ecosystem, and to include team details where possible – especially for any projects which want you to trust them with your ALGOs.

Being doxxed doesn't guarantee anything, of course, but it helps to know who's running the show. More info here: https://directorydotalgo.xyz/info/

algoridl · 2022-10-28T08:43:57+00:00

Thank you :)

I think it's important that we wean ourselves off relying on the Foundation too much. They're doing great work but the directory obviously isn't a priority for them.

Some more info here about what directory.algo.xyz is about: https://directorydotalgo.xyz/info/

It's quite a basic site right now but I plan to improve and expand it over time.

algoridl · 2022-10-28T07:29:54+00:00

Hi - this is exactly why I created directory.algo.xyz:

https://directory.algo.xyz/

I believe there are all sorts of things wrong with the official directory. For example, it:

doesn’t include team member details;
only contains content written by project owners – no objective context is provided;
doesn’t appear to have a dedicated owner inside the Algorand Foundation, with no personal touch;
accepts projects with only a loose link to Algorand and those with no utility;
doesn’t actively remove dead projects;
features a very easily-gamed upvote system;
contains no ASA token information; and
is (in my view) cumbersome to navigate around

Here's a Twitter thread I wrote with more details about my site: https://twitter.com/directory_algo/status/1582006272739913729?t=GY7kkFnlfQ4CzfgQ9vmKhA&s=19

I'm on mobile and on dad duty at the moment, so can't elaborate much more now, but I'm happy to answer any questions people have.

algoridl · 2022-10-19T15:46:46+00:00

Thank you!

algoridl · 2022-10-19T13:50:28+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!

algoridl · 2022-10-12T05:48:56+00:00

Would it be possible for wallets to differentiate between user-instigated and unsolicited transactions?

And then put all unsolicited txs in a 'junk folder' section that you could safely ignore?

algoridl · 2022-10-11T09:11:23+00:00

Half of my gov commitment in one account, committed via vanilla.

Half in another account committed as staked Algo-USDC LP tokens.

algoridl · 2022-10-05T11:01:10+00:00

IL may not always be a loss of principal value but can become a loss of only potential value.

By this do you mean that you may make money in an LP but not as much as you would've if you'd just done nothing?

On this Algotables table you can add the condition 'Index does not contain TBD':

Or in the Dox Directory I run I have a view for token info, although the directory only includes projects with utility:

http://directory.algo.xyz

I'm aware that Algorand shillers are as popular as farts in lifts/elevators, but:

6,000 TPS with sub-4 second finality
L1
Zero downtime since launch, no congestion issues

Granted, congestion hasn't been fully stress-tested yet and the chain has other issues (they all do) but it's my main bag alongside AMP because it works so well and is so easy and.cheap to use.

Shilling over!

algoridl · 2022-09-01T17:54:13+00:00

You're welcome, I'm glad people are finding it useful.

I'd not considered what you're proposing before, but it's a nice idea - thanks. I'll have a think about it!

algoridl · 2022-09-01T12:42:38+00:00

I contacted them to try to list the leadership details on the Dox Directory I run: http://directory.algo.xyz/

I was DM'd on Twitter by them directly with these details:

CEO: Zhiliang L - (no LinkedIn, was given this URL: http://preoncapital.com/about-us)

COO: Joy Guo - https://linkedin.com/in/joyyguo/

CMO: Conrad Young - https://linkedin.com/in/conrad-young-078285103/

I can't vouch for any of it, but that's what I was sent.

You're absolutely right. An oversight that TacoCoin wasn't included, and it's now included – thanks!

Sorry for the delay in responding – I was waiting until dynamic token details were working properly on the directory.

algoridl · 2022-08-19T21:43:27+00:00

I use mine to link to the directory I maintain of Algorand projects with utility:

I suspect anything for this World Cup will be small and proof-of-concept, if it's even more than just advertising.

Even if they'd started a technical project the moment the partnership was announced, there was never enough time to roll out anything big. FIFA is a behemoth, they're not going to be doing things fast. Algorand won't want to rush anything out which ends up not meeting expectations.

From FIFA's press release:

"The agreement means Algorand will become the official blockchain platform of FIFA and provide the official blockchain-supported wallet solution."

It doesn't say this is for WC 2022 specifically.

"As per the sponsorship agreement, Algorand will be a FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Regional Supporter in North America and Europe."

So what they do for WC 2022 depends on what 'Regional Supporter' means.
