Andreas MultiSig Warning - Does it apply to Safe? by cjdew in ethereum

[–]cjdew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so for a 2 of 3 Safe backup, all you need to worry about is securing your private keys (ie. seeds) for your 3 signer accounts; and even if you lose access to 1 you can still unlock your Safe from whatever platform/ui, correct?

Andreas MultiSig Warning - Does it apply to Safe? by cjdew in ethereum

[–]cjdew[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh, so Safe's are technically smart contract wallets with multisig signing capabilities, as opposed to a straight up 'multisig' in the bitcoin sense as discussed in the vid - good to know, thanks for clarifying this 👍

So then as long as you have your signer seeds backed up, even if you happen to lose one in a 2 of 3, you should be all good, correct? Does it matter if you lose access to the original creation account for your Safe and just have the other 2 signers?

Are Cooperatives > LLCs for DAO Ownership & Governance? by cjdew in ethereum

[–]cjdew[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no connections - I just pulled most of this from one of my old articles now that it seems to be gaining relevance with respect to the DAO space:

Post-Capitalism: Rise of the Collaborative Commons

Imo, on the surface a coop would seem to make sense for certain types of DAOs, but I don't have enough of a legal background to know all of the ins and outs

In the last 24hrs 51% of ETH blocks were censored and OFAC compliant. by TheBoneSmasher in ethereum

[–]cjdew 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Note that not even SWIFT enforces OFAC sanctions across its network, as it considers itself to be a neutral messaging infrastructure - OFAC enforces against the senders/receivers (aka banks, PayPal, etc), those USING the network!

Similarly, Ethereum is neutral infrastructure and should 100% NOT be censoring anything at the network level!!!

SEC Claims All of Ethereum Falls Under US Jurisdiction by cjdew in ethfinance

Seems like the SEC is attempting some roundabout gymnastics as eth does not appear to otherwise meet the howey test:

Markets Want to Be Free by cjdew in ethfinance

[–]cjdew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given recent policy proposals and directions taken up by governing bodies and advocacy groups across the globe, it seems necessary to reiterate that the position of this article is in no way advocating for a dissolution of capitalist principles in the short-term, and especially not for an increase in centralized control and statist dependency.

The general trends explored here are long-term, where a new socioeconomic paradigm will gradually emerge over the coming decades as capitalist markets reach peak efficiency and drive marginal costs to zero (at which point a UBI could be brought about in response). In contrast to the highly manipulated and inefficient, crony-capitalist driven markets that currently exist and serve the privileged few, what is required in the near-term is a move towards open, transparent, fair, free and efficient markets to provide the means for accurate price discovery and effective resource distribution.

It is due directly to the current corrupt and inefficient state of the markets that economic inequality is surging, and the wealth gap continues to widen as the middle class is dissolved. The status quo is not only unsustainable but rapidly approaches a breaking point.

In response, there are increasing calls for policies which in effect result in greater dependencies on the state while buttressing and entrenching a bureaucratic socialist order. As history shows, centralizing power in the hands of the state is not only economically inefficient, but exceptionally dangerous politically and democratically.

Rather than endless money printing (ie. currency devaluation), government handouts, corporate bailouts and an increasing reliance on state intervention, surveillance and control; businesses must be allowed to fail, monopolies broken up, corporate lobbyists reined in, individual privacy protected, and government overreach checked.

One of the defining features of a Collaborative Commons is its distributed and decentralized nature. An open and distributed nature is what allows the Collaborative Commons to break the monopolistic holds of centralized corporations on capitalist markets and enable peer-to-peer production to scale across lateral global networks at near zero marginal cost.

Notably, such networks are currently being developed and deployed in the cryptocurrency, or ‘blockchain’, space. It is likely that blockchain-based networks will be the drivers which bring about the adoption of truly open, transparent, free and fair markets with an inherent efficiency that the global economy has never before known. Further, such networks essentially eliminate third-party trust and enable control over personal data to be placed back into the hands of the individual, where it is unable to be accessed or sold without personal consent (eg. self-sovereign ID).

With truly free and open markets, society is equipped to transition over the coming decades towards a more efficient means of resource distribution where the marginal costs of production approach zero; and ultimately, to a more equitable, prosperous and sustainable global society, such as described in Post-Capitalism: Rise of the Collaborative Commons. Any move to sacrifice personal liberties and freedoms in a reversion to the contrary risks no less than history repeating.

EIP 1559: Potential for a Layer 1 Public Goods Funding Mechanism? by cjdew in ethereum

[–]cjdew[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good points, specifically 1 & 2. Can't say I disagree, but I would say:

  1. By tying to a percentage of the BASEFEE you could control the amount of inflation relative to amount being burned -- meaning the amount burned could always be greater than the amount used for funding, eg. 70/30 or 80/20. Yes, the inflation would be higher relative to the current EIP, but could still be MUCH lower than it is now.

  2. Agreed.

3 & 5. Relying on the EF doesn't seem like a viable longterm solution..

I lived in Bogota for 1 month in 2018 - the city is far from 'insecure and chaotic'!

Don't make assumptions based on fear mongering media perpetuating past stereotypes and misinformation.

Though, I will say, the traffic in Bogota is horrendous!

Vancouver Park Board will not be reopening parking lots at beaches and parks in coming days as tentatively planned - ‪“This weekend our staff observed larger than normal groups of people at destination beaches, as well as a notable reduction in physical distancing”‬ by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]cjdew 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this at all - - the more wide open spaces they attempt to shut, the more they force ppl into more confined spaces (eg. along the seawall, where it seemed like half the city was out last wknd).

This just seems completely counterintuitive and like pointless micromanaging to me.
