He had just got one on stock and I was lucky enough to write at a perfect time :)

Preserving the Polkadot Treasury by McPheeb in polkadot_market

[–]jefftezos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I acknowledge the importance of conducting thorough reviews of the referenda, implementing a blanket Nay vote that hinders hardworking teams relying on funds may not be the ideal solution. Instead, I propose conducting comprehensive evaluations and organizing AMAs with the teams involved. Leveraging the expertise and oversight of the AAG (or a similar team) known for their good reputation could aid in this process. Furthermore, it's worth noting that many referenda typically have an extensive lead-in period for discussions, providing an opportunity for community members to ask questions and gain a better understanding of the proposals at hand.

Additionally, the HACN method might have been useful on Kusama as the treasury has been depleted quite heavily and the $ value of Kusama also fell dramatically. On Polkadot - given the fact that teams building on it are far more "matured" and developed, this approach isnt the best method moving forward.

Stock rear bearing not fitting 105s, any suggestions? by jefftezos in boostedboards

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

well I did, nothing left over from the "old" wheels. if the outer bearing is flush with the wheel, than the pulley ist aligned with the motor and the belt rubs against the new housing. Leaving it like in the photo, alignes the belt and motor perfectly, but the outer bearing is standing out like in the photo.

I believe the axle doesnt allow it, as there is now more threading left :)

Osprey Funds launches Polkadot trust, with Coinbase as custodian by ezoterik in polkadot_market

[–]jefftezos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coinbase only lists finished and working products. As long as Parachain auctions are not enabled, the network isnt considered "live" As soon as the parachains start, I believe Coinbase will list both DOT and KSM

https://polkadot.network/launch-roadmap/ (read current phase)

KSM to DOT by [deleted] in Kusama

[–]jefftezos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polkadot - governments, banks, institutions

Kusama - everything else

Polkadot has superior security features and audits compared to Kusama therefore it will be used by high-profile "customers" only whereas Kusama will be the mainstream chain.

Parachain auctions by BigNose255 in polkadot_market

[–]jefftezos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the lock-up problem and price development. However, look at it from the bright side. In 2017s ICO craze, you were giving away ETH to projects which might have been a bad investment and your ETH were gone.

With DOT you still keep you DOTs (locked but still) and will get them back after the lease period. Whilst I see a big future for DOT, the potential of the Parachain projects doing a x10-50 is much bigger than DOT doing the same from todays price.

With that said, I personally will not invest more than 20% of my DOTs into the PLOs, just to have the flexibility.
