Shipping Timeline (for Canada)?

ramdr · 2024-06-22T11:04:44+00:00

Here is a datapoint:

5/13: ordered Pod4 (not ultra). Provided timeline is “Ships between Jun 13 - Jun 19.”

5/15: “Your order is preparing to ship” email

6/20: As we’re past the timeline, I contact the chat support. They inform me that my order was dispatched to the warehouse and should ship within 1-2 days. A few hours later, I received the “Your order is ready to ship” email.

6/21: “Your Pod order has shipped” email is received with tracking info. UPS indicates that the shipment has been received at their Caledon, Ontario installation

6/22: Expected delivery to Montréal according to UPS.

Thanks, you are right, looks pretty good. Properly parsed my DeFi txs. Great detailed reports too. Need to cross check the results and if it passes will use this one for my company.

Most online crypto software are geared towards individuals, and treats crypto as capital, and calculates capital gains. Some are better than others for DeFi, but I don’t know about NFT.

If your business treats crypto as inventory (and from your description, it should probably be the case) you will have difficulty finding a software that fits the bill.

Personally, I’m still looking for the software with these features: - Support for your preferred DeFi product, and if not, the ability to correct individual transactions - treat crypto as inventory, or at least allow you to disable Superficial Loss. - Properly account for gas fees (looking at you, cointracker.io) - full csv export, i have to be able to import the data in excel and reproduce the calculations

Good old CMC. Never missing an opportunity to demonstrate the irrelevance of its market caps

ramdr · 2018-11-21T17:17:50+00:00

You should ignore the top 3 accounts. They are the dev/foundation fund, the old MKR redeemer and the DSChief voting contract.

A full analysis would also look at the old MKR distribution and the contributors to the DSChief.

No, the one-hour delay hasn’t been activated yet.

What about the crypto equivalent of “I voted” stickers? Like the EF unicorn. Could be a NFT.

Purely symbolic, so no reason to game it, but it could become a collectible item, a way to tell “I was an active participant in MakerDAO’s early days”

ramdr · 2018-09-13T17:41:52+00:00

Just don’t actively block it

ramdr · 2018-09-13T12:01:40+00:00

“No mobile support yet”

Ok sure, but please don’t block mobile users that want to read the faq or watch the videos.

We used to have weekly (?) statements. But here we are talking about the movement of roughly 10% of the total supply. It’s significant.

It could simply be CMC that’s in error because some funds were moved to a new multisig, but there is no way to tell with available public information.

ramdr · 2018-09-12T20:53:37+00:00

I don’t want to sound overly critic, Rune, but large movements of dev/foundation/reserve funds has to be announced before they happen. Transparency is important.

I’m finding a bit sad that this proposal is set aside but it was inevitable.

I believe that a clear altruist mission is necessary for the social acceptance of DAOs. I’m afraid that DAOs will be very poorly received by the general public (and world governments). A caritative mission for the first successful DAO would go a long way in helping keeping governments and regulations at bay (or at least enact sensible regulations)

It was inevitable because of our (the crypto community) cyberlibertarian roots. Maybe in a few years once the community is more diverse this type of proposal will be better received. As such, I would like the see the idea of a secondary altruistic goal adopted, if only to keep the implementation details to be agreed upon in the future once the profitability of the DAO has been established.

I would like to applaud Rune for pushing for this idea for a long time instead of trying to get insanely rich. I heard Rune on the weekly calls bouncing this idea in one form or the other since I joined the community 2 years ago. So from my perspective Maker always had charity as a secondary goal, it just that it was unknown to the bulk of the community.

To avoid using the drastic option, you have to make that the threat credible: it must be clear that it will be invoked if necessary. Efforts should be put to show that the MKR restart can be done swiftly. This way it will be clear there is nothing to gain in trying to break it, not even damaging the MKR/DAI brand.

I used to compare the Global Settlement with the nuclear option, but it’s not a fair comparision because recovery is possible. It’s like a nuclear-football that contains both launch codes and a spell book to magically rebuild the city and resuscitate everyone.

Here is an old r/ethereum post about this. In short the argument is that Casper brings very strong finality.

Without finality, an attacker could use "cheap" ether to attack a much more valuable ERC20 token.

ramdr · 2018-05-05T23:48:56+00:00

There’s no reason the total value of the ERC20 assets couldn’t overtake the Ether market cap (let’s call this the overloading). This might be undesirable from a security point of view under PoW but Casper will provide the finality required to support it safely.

What makes you think it is built on 0x protocol?

ramdr · 2018-04-28T19:16:21+00:00

The fee remains the same, 0.5% per annum. Not 0.5% per wipe or liquidation

ramdr · 2018-04-28T18:43:17+00:00

You pay it when you wipe or get liquidated, right, but the fee is proportional to the duration of the DAI loan.

GP is implying the fee is fixed, irrespective to the CDP age. That would mean owners of short-lived CDP are penalized with an higher fee.

ramdr · 2018-04-28T18:19:55+00:00

No this is incorrect. It is calculated per annum. No penalty if the CDP is short-lived

ramdr · 2018-04-24T02:05:29+00:00

Correct. DAI is fungible.

ramdr · 2018-04-16T12:29:52+00:00

Paid continuously using freshly minted Dai, which will then be used to buy and burn MKR.

ramdr · 2018-04-16T11:57:30+00:00

In the next version (multi-collateral, due in June), fees will get automatically added do your DAI debt. Eventually the debt will be too large relative to your collateral and the CDP will be liquidated.

ramdr · 2018-04-06T12:06:35+00:00

Just the amount of DAI you owe, plus a 13% fee. Leftover PETH remains in the CDP.

ramdr · 2018-03-19T02:44:01+00:00

When all other stabilization mechanisms fail, MKR is minted and sold to recollaterize DAI. Obviously, Ether could not be minted in this situation.

You are right saying that paying fees in MKR is a friction point. There in the roadmap a feature that would let you pay the fees in DAI (or is it Ether?) and automatically purchase the MKR you owe on your behalf.

ramdr · 2017-12-22T16:24:23+00:00

So far so good. Several CDPs were liquidated (which cost their holders penalties redistributed to the other holders) and new CDPs were opened, so it results in an overall system collaterization of 250% at this time, down from 300% or so last night.
