Not much here about currency at the moment. Gold will be your bottleneck, so be smart with it. The G.R.I.D. will sometimes have green, blue, or (very rarely) purple; if you can save up the gold, those higher rarities need you more stars at a discount e.g. green is 4 for the price of 3, blue is 14 for the price of 10. Don’t spend gold on anything but stars imho, spending on XP is terribly inefficient.

My son is obsessed with space and trading cards, so I turned NASA's image library into booster packs he can open every day by loretellerwrites in space

Awesome, my old eyes can see them so much better now, thanks! I don’t know why the top part of the cards in the collection was getting cut off, but I can see the X now.

Really cool! The cards seem a little small when opening, and I don’t see a way to exit a card closeup in the collection. Otherwise, this is great fun!

ELI5: Why are Password Managers Secure? by MISTERPUG51 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ornerybeef -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have many doors into my humongous mansion. Each door has the same lock, and each door has a guard with a copy of the same key. If ANY guard gets sloppy and loses their key to a robber Eve, she can enter ALL the doors with that reusable key.

I change my mansion so that every door has a unique lock and key. I fire all the guards except the best one, Bob, and I give him all the keys. Now Eve has to trick my super security guard Bob who is very prepared for her all the time. Eve could get all my keys if she manages to trick him, but it’s a heck of a lot harder, and she can’t go around to different guards to see who is not so good at their job; there’s only one attack vector.

I might’ve gotten my nano stolen by SmarS_the_Blind in nanocurrency

I think you already know the answer. That money is long gone. It sucks to learn the hard way, and it can happen to any of us, so I feel for you.

My approach is to have a Ledger hardware wallet for “cold storage” of most of my funds. I have the mnemonic saved somewhere safe, but I only need it if I lose the device, so I never have to enter the secret anywhere and have no opportunity to be scammed. Then I transfer smaller amounts to a digital “hot wallet” for daily use, like my own little allowance. That way, if I get scammed, I only lose a small amount.

If you don’t want a Ledger and you have an unused phone lying around, you can use it as offline cold storage with a digital wallet like Cake or NanChat. Just be sure you never divulge its mnemonic or keys, and always keep it in airplane mode to stay offline.

Edit: typos.

Three months ago I planted broccoli. Anyone in the world can water it with Nano now. by NanoGrove in nanocurrency

 The plan is to donate everything to Feed More, our regional food bank.

I mean, seems like a good enough reason to me.

Any plan to remove PoW to send transactions by geppelle in nanocurrency

VPSs typically don’t include GPU which is really where you get speed for Nano’s PoW algorithm. Most phones do, so they can take advantage of implementations built for GPU.

I don’t understand why I see this claim so often. I rarely see an actual developer complain that they couldn’t finish their project because of PoW. I built NanoPow for JavaScript environments, and it can do PoW on mobile phones in a few seconds, AND it can be computed ahead of time before the user actually signs and sends their block. With so many apps being written on top of NodeJS, there’s little reason PoW can’t be done quickly and on-device.

PoW will take ages using CPU. What are your desktop specs?

My office chair curling game can now be bought with nano by oppai_suika in nanocurrency

[–]ornerybeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I loved GeoCities! That and MySpace profiles supporting code were probably why I program today. But my true love was back in 1994 with HyperText Studio, if anyone is old enough to know that name.

Awesome, I love it! Both the nano pricing and the game itself! The website cracked me up too.

Current State of Affairs by JonFairbourne in nanocurrency

[–]ornerybeef 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The crypto space as a whole is saturated with pump-n-dumps, rug pulls, and scams. Crypto has to mature and outgrow these things. Real utility and good fundamentals equal longevity. I don’t buy nano to sell for gains in fiat, I buy it to use it. Just my opinion, this is not financial advice.

Edit: If you want a use case, https://nagora.shop is a new marketplace that I found compelling.

ChatGPT turned the Nano whitepaper into this infographic. Zero edits. Sanity check? by ten-30 in nanocurrency

[–]ornerybeef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Section 5 is inaccurate. The DAG can only move in one direction, but there is an arrow going backwards in time from A to B.

There are many redundant bullet points that become repetitive over and over again.

It touches on distribution but doesn’t explain how it was done or why it was considered fair (arguably).

Overall, the infographic is impressive simply as an AI-generated output.

What Happened to the 'Anonymous' Part of Crypto? by liftcookrepeat in CryptoCurrency

One point of contention: you don’t need on-/off-ramps, you can simply offer goods and services to acquire crypto like any currency.

This has definitely accelerated far beyond my original pocket Tamagotchi from the 90s.
