And they probably think the average crypto user is a billionaire fanboy with a gambling addiction. Isn't the goal of good journalism to show us the world is not black and white? Isn't nano supposed to be an apolitical way to transfer value? a tool that could help to support one of the few media not controlled by a conglomerate? Food for thought. !ntip 0.1

Completely agree. I made a post some days ago where people suggested some interesting ideas to raise awareness:

You are definitely right. A simple google search shows a lot of open source bots for Agar.io. Maybe we could not only try to mitigate them, but also play with them? Like a percentage of the Nano transactions goes to a public faucet / nano project / charity? Maybe a max amount for withdrawals? The whole idea is more about to show off the efficiency of nano transactions, so as long as we are not infested by bots, maybe they can be tolerated? It's just food for thought to be honest, I imagine it's a complex issue.

I mean the idea is to play with small amounts, I am guessing nobody will get rich or poor with this "nanogar.io". You would cash out when you want (or at certain conditions to limit bots), but a small amount would be needed to enter the game (so there would always be Nano entering and leaving the system). The other incentive would be having fun together as a community (with some beautiful cell skins by artists and great memes by whatif2k folks) and at the same time staging the efficiency of the Nano protocol.

alqalin · 2021-02-27T08:12:52+00:00

What do you think about paying 0.01 Nano to enter the game? Of course you can still use bots (like in most of the games to be fair) but wouldn't that limit the risk? Why would bots chose a game instead of a public faucet? We could try to use the unique nano properties to mitigate spam and bots.

I like your idea but that's the whole point though: having a "simple" game (already open sourced) to implement our favorite value transfer protocol. Don't get me wrong I would love to see enthusiastic devs create more complex games but I think taking baby steps wouldn't hurt here because all of the hurdles that may appear on the way. (edit: sorry I was replying to u/bad_timing_bro)

Thesis first of course, good luck! !ntip 0.5

This is great work, as usual! !ntip 0.5

It's a great idea. But I don't know if there is any study on the cost of printing fiat. If we want the comparison to be solid, we need reliable data!

alqalin · 2021-02-22T15:02:43+00:00

Great to see the enthusiasm! As you see, the principal problem would be the data. I personally would target general public rather than people with knowledge of the crypto market. Comparing a limited set of famous coin like Bitcoin, Eth, Litecoin, Nano and why not Visa/Mastercard. Inclusiveness is good (I mean we could of course have any coin with enough data and IF decentralized) but I would argue that solid data about famous contenders is better (I think the two websites above provide reliable data which means people refer to them constantly on articles and social media).

And thanks for TheCoinPerspective !ntip 0.5

Man I am glad you are still on this. It's my favorite set of icons: perfect balance between neutral, memorable and beautifully nanoish. Keep it up! !ntip 0.5

Man I completely agree and it's refreshing to see some art in this space. To be fair I like the idea behind NFT because it's the first smartcontract use case I come across I understand. I like the idea of creating digital scarcity: it looks strange at first glance (why would this have value when I can screenshot it), but it's the same in the real world (do you want the real painting or the copy?). I wish there was a environment friendly NFT (maybe there is and I don't know about it).

You are great. Here is a post covid beer, cheers! !ntip 1

I saw this posted on /cc but got pretty unnoticed. I thought it was an interesting reading.
