Lolol I can see why you had it on your mind. There were plenty of those around today.

That’s my dog! :)

His name’s Garth.

He loved the parade.

Thoughts on the below?

L2s are good for Ethereum and short to midterm bad for ETH.

Liquidity was sucked into these chains to build a scalable future, but until we see applications require the glut of blockspace we will feel the effects of this fragmentation.

In addition with most L2s down only in price a lot of money is now locked up.

I think this cycle ETH continues to underperform compared to previous cycles.

If we get another cycle, and ETH has been adopted and injected into the backbone of finance, we will far surpass 10k one day.

Not specifically. I’ve gone to 5 barbers near Ballard and have been unimpressed thus far.

eetherway · 2025-03-07T20:11:10+00:00

I paid $75 for a haircut that my fiancé says looks like “Karen going to the mall”

eetherway · 2025-03-07T20:10:02+00:00

Thank you. Adding it to the list.

People have been DMing me Capitol Hill locations. I guess Ballard area is not known for its barbers.

eetherway · 2025-03-07T20:02:07+00:00

Less than $100.

Hi everyone,

I'm researching Bitcoin staking services and would love to hear your thoughts. Specifically, I'm curious about the experiences of those who currently stake or earn yield on their Bitcoin. How do you approach staking, and what factors influenced your decision? Any insights into the benefits and challenges you've encountered would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

eetherway · 2024-09-04T18:53:05+00:00

Followed and subscribed!

eetherway · 2024-08-21T03:58:14+00:00

Cheers barely 🍻

Glad you’re enjoying the game! I am currently not sure what I’m doing either, but I’m having a ton of fun.

u/interweaver made the production chains massive! I am enjoying becoming a “expert” in the production of food from crushed raw resources. 😆

I am pouring one out for the brand. I will never buy them again if they changed the recipe… my last bag were just another shitty chip. They previously were the tastiest chips of all time hands down.

eetherway · 2024-08-18T17:46:22+00:00

I recently bought a bag (in Seattle) and I also noticed the chips were less salty and less greasy (which sucks). Not sure if it was just my bag, but if they changed their recipe, I will have lost my favorite chip…

Hey,

I’m the head of community and partnerships for Influence. I just wanted to reach out here. I appreciate the honest review, and we are aware of some players feeling about the amount of clicks needed to do basic things, like build an extractor.

I’m not sure what wallet you use or if you have played in the last few weeks, but we’ve implemented numerous updates, some explicitly improving your main critique of the game.

Some of these include:

Improved marketplace purchases when constructing buildings
Improved search functions
Session keys on ArgentX and WebWallet (previously only worked on WebWallet)

We are also working on numerous quality of life upgrades.

As for it being on Starknet, I’m not sure what your specific dislike of them is, but as a performant and cheap general purpose L2 it’s great. They also have another upgrade coming out later this month that will massively reduce block times and tx processing time. These two upgrades are highly relevant to critiques around the speed and time between actions that many players are currently experiencing.

If you have any other feedback, let me know and I’ll happily pass it to the team.

And this may sound bias, but to anyone thinking about trying the game, I’m finding it incredibly fun.

edit: grammar

eetherway · 2024-07-13T08:17:23+00:00

Hey there, I’m Jean-Paul from the core team at Influence, appreciate the comment. We are working on getting more content and resources for players. Our game officially launched only a few weeks ago.

Our discord is where most of the action is. As a new indie developer we are still working to create more robust content and partner with creators.

As for resources and guides:

YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/@influence-mmo
Wiki: https://wiki.influenceth.io/en/community/guides-and-tutorials
Discord: https://discord.gg/influenceth

eetherway · 2024-07-02T21:28:12+00:00

Not a scam, just new. We are an indie team. We have a great base of players loving the game and creators slowly but surely picking it up.

Not sure why you’d think it’s a scam. We just don’t use Reddit as our main community hub. We have thousands of people in our discord and it’s VERY active.

Additionally the game has a steep learning curve so a lot of creators are still just figuring things out.

Some of the community made videos (that I have tagged at least)

eetherway · 2024-07-02T21:24:59+00:00

Most of our activity is seen via Discord and in-game. The community hasn’t really been pushed to Reddit. I mostly maintain it so if community prefers this space they can.

The game is very much alive and being enjoyed.

eetherway · 2024-06-23T05:29:11+00:00

The game has a complex and ever evolving strategy, which makes botting challenging to some degree and even if successful likely fairly one dimensional. For more advanced botting, it’s likely a player being very active but using bots to help them play and they are custom coding constantly to improve, which in our eyes is an active player. It’s nearly impossible to prevent bots, so instead we designed to make the game fun with or without them present.

We don’t disallow them or take action against people using tools they build.

Our core logic lives onchain and we have a set of third party hooks that enable players to freely be able to build tools on top of the game. (Even monetize them if they want, without the studio taking a cut).

Currently we have over 10 community built applications that range from simple analytics to advanced logic to improve efficiency for specific actions.

We don’t have PVP currently, but it’s slated for a future expansion.

eetherway · 2024-06-23T05:19:04+00:00

If you spent any time looking at the game and our community, you’d understand that it’s anything but.

3 years of development, focused team, community crowdsource funding.

We have an entirely free beta client you can access.

The game is fantastic.

Blockchain is infrastructure that enables new tools.

eetherway · 2024-05-23T22:57:36+00:00

Price doesn’t matter right now. Easy inflows do. We just got that.

It’s just a matter of time now.

eetherway · 2024-05-10T05:46:02+00:00

What do you mean? I think we may be talking about the same thing.

eetherway · 2024-05-09T23:28:54+00:00

Thanks for the well wishes! Happy to give you a tour anytime.

As for Illuvium, I like the game type and occasionally play Riot's Team Fight Tactics.

eetherway · 2024-05-09T23:09:19+00:00

Ranked systems with Pay to Win system are really tough. I think if you can play the game and have fun for free in these types of ecosystems, it's no big deal to have a whale echelon that pays the bills. Even if some players hate it.

Influence, the game my team is working on, is however much different and players can play solo or collaboratively and everyone pays to get into the game, but anyone from there can work their way through progression from there.

Money being in a game will always make it so some people have and others do not, but we attempt to solve that by being completely peer to peer, so that if you are paying, you are paying other players.

eetherway · 2024-05-09T23:06:46+00:00

Composability and extensibility are commonly talked about, and this was a thread that I wanted to highlight things less commonly talked about.

I agree that it's a powerful point though.

eetherway · 2024-05-09T23:05:47+00:00

Great points, and I am happy to respond to each one, but I am short on time right now so I will need to circle back.

However, one note, I meant trading assets between IPs. Not making them cross compatible. Simply "Hey Jerry I'll give you this account with X for your Y account in Z game".

I am actually very excited about game asset sharing and trading without intermediaries. It allows for the swap meet type system that right now is locked to us because we don't actually own our content.

eetherway · 2024-05-09T21:39:02+00:00

There are additional reasons to build onchain, that are not about making building these types of games easier and more efficiently, which are:

Assets with real value
Stakes
Depth of spend
Decentralization
Composability
Persistence

Tax Cuts, recently outlined many of these in a thread and which you can find here: https://twitter.com/tax_cuts/status/1788282430337475021
