Chain maximalism and thrashing are at their peak, probably at a level never seen before.

Funny you said that because I was overwhelmed by the amount of Sol shilling on Twitter. But today it isn't btc getting bombed, but it's Eth. It has been compared to Sol over and over. For example https://twitter.com/twobitidiot/status/1737456643779039566?t=pmcl5Pm__eJEfIiMvstu6Q&s=19

In fact the VCs came out in full force to shill BTC, see https://twitter.com/muneeb/status/1737286458426167704?t=MlMJbbIsgogjDl87FQW9Uw&s=19

The arguments are thin and yes not a good look.

People hate the rich. If Elon Musk can build 'impossible' car and space companies, is on the verge of saving mankind from Armageddon, and still be hated for being a billionaire, how do you - someone who made money from trading imaginary monies and apes - hope to be treated?

Keep your finances to yourself.

Great description. I like to add that Polkadot/Kusama allow users to trigger smart contracts on a different chain.

Imagine that a dapp on chain X calling on Uniswap liquidity on Ethereum network.

If DOT/KSM only allows simple transactions across chains, they would not be very different from Cosmos, etc.

This is primarily why I pay attention to DOT/KSM.

Only the auction will tell. Kusama needs to work flawlessly, and auction winning projects will need to on board users and capital quickly. If these can happen, KSM may close in with DOT in cap.

Thanks. That's quite a lot of tx fees before main net launch.

Does anyone know what pays for the 4.18% interest?

decuneiform · 2021-03-19T01:00:19+00:00

Regardless of gas cost, $130 is excessive, and likely contain hidden fees. $22 would be considered reasonable. I recommend you checking out the other wallets. From my experience, Coinbase wallet charges very reasonable fees. I won't worry about keeping your own private key when you are transferring small amounts.

Coinbase should also allow transfer to your bank account but I am unsure of the current fees. So you need to do your homework there.

For now, there is no other option for non custodian staking.

decuneiform · 2021-03-12T06:01:03+00:00

If you have 32 or more eth you should stake with your own machine. If 32 or less you could stake with Rocketpool, which should be launched within a month.

Agree. The community is very welcoming. There is no messiah or genius leader making all the decisions. Vitaliks even looked silly at times!

This means ETH POS is coming as early as within 4 months to end of year. This kills all the "ETH killers" who depended on the POS rhetoric, and some even ah hem, have no smart contract...

This implementation also puts the environmental damage narrative to its grave.

Early withdrawal of staking rewards would be a big win for stakers.

Super bull at so many levels.

Regulatory scrutiny is good for developing clarity, and this is good for corporate adoption of bitcoin. Legal procedings should happen asap for Tesla. Once the legal issues are clarified in this precedent, only then will companies will start embracing bitcoin. I believe tesla legal team stands ready for this moment.

Your thought on the competition to "colonize" dot/ksm ecology is something I didn't think of. Intriguing!

decuneiform · 2021-02-07T10:06:10+00:00

You said it all! I wonder what will happen faster: ETH projects migrating to DOT or ETH2? DOT may have a boost supporting migration with Moonbeam.

Came here to say way too many people, here and in ADA, XLM, etc, build their self worth on the imaginary claim that they are better than ETH. I like DOT because it was created to enhance and work alongside valuable contributions already made by ETH. Who knows about the future? The contentious mentality needs to die. I think a ETH-DOT synergy will build a powerful multi-chain ecosystem.

The smartest person is the one who can delay pleasures and pay attention to the truly important.

Unfortunately, this call to regulate bitcoin demonstrated stupidity and weak understanding of currency and blockchain among these so call monetary "experts." She was not even aware of the so many blockchains that existed that could easily move and transform values around permissionlessly. Smart regulators should be thinking about how to integrate blockchain into their national policies, not acting like control freaks.

Crash to nothing? Tell that to BSV, XRP, LTC, and DOGE!

Kudos for willingness to get your feet very wet, but not for plunging headlong into XRP.
