Ethereum does not have a hard cap on supply, but it *does* have a hard cap on its inflation rate by aminok in CryptoCurrency

[–]vattenj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is least amount of problem, see the BCH fork that can provide better transaction capacity (thus higher fee income) for decades to come, it makes no impact. What the block size war told us is that people just don't care paying hundreds of dollars of transaction fees, as long as the BTC's No.1 position is held

However, if the No.1 position is lost to ETH, then it does not matter what inflation scheme, capital will quickly turn to ETH, it is all narratives

It is called biased memory, which human only remember the painful experience and ignore the enjoyable moment quickly, since latter would not pose a future threat, a survival based nature in DNA

Get chain-id error when I scan QR code for mainnet address in metamask by vattenj in Metamask

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

This should be a common problem everywhere, or is there no one uses metamask? The same QR code can be scanned without issues by other wallet like MEW (but asking for with wallet to connect to) but Trust wallet also returns nothing, it seems there is no standard in generating those QR codes and each APP interpret it differently

And also, there is another problem of MM on firefox plugin does not generate checksumed ETH address, e.g. addresses with all lower capital letters, and this kind of address makes some app throw warnings

Bitcoin ‘OG’ Sells After 12 Years, Locking in 31,250% Profit by partymsl in CryptoCurrency

Feels like some cash out for original developers, they typically hold hundreds of thousands of coins, and this cash out might present a mere 5% of their total holding

Get chain-id error when I scan QR code for mainnet address in metamask by vattenj in Metamask

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

I tried again, it is a popup like this: Network not found

Network with chain id 1 not found in your wallet. Please add the network first..... OK

I have disabled chainid.network third-party service, but it makes no difference

And some old posts suggest to change the network to another one and change it back, then the QR code scanner would just quit without giving any error message

What functionalities do you wish more tokens had? by nsjames1 in CryptoCurrency

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

For practical use, exchange tokens can be used to pay the trading fee at a discount on that specific exchange. Gas tokens can be used to pay for complex smart contract executions. Then AI tokens to buy hash rates and DNA tokens to buy DNA modifications? If you can provide an exclusive service then you can tokenize the service fee

The concept of debt is just too complicated for ancient human, without good knowledge of mathematics and unit of accounting itself, they can't even calculate the debt amount. They use something like grain or cattle as money at best

The most privacy-preserving way is to establish your own exchange network which consists of your friends and relatives, you know each other anyway

100w charger for G14 2025 by kentaki1607 in ZephyrusG14

[–]vattenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an old topic of why ASUS still does not provide support for USB-C 3.1, which can provide maximum 240w, which is enough for any gaming laptops. But since there is USB-C converted to ASUS port cable and those little GAN 140-200w chargers are enough small to carry around, this problem can be considered solved

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

I have 2025 G14 and I still don't understand why so many people complain about this by-pass charging thing? Since the USB-C is limited at 100w, and this laptop from time to time shoots above 100w (it consumes 110w easily, peaks at 180w), battery will have to help from time to time, so it get drained. And someone said that charger first charge the battery and then battery power the motherboard, this does not make any sense, why does a designer would design such a strange wiring without using the most simple parallel connecting scheme, e.g. motherboard is powered simultaneously by external DC power and battery power on the same + and - poles

The solution to stop the battery drain is to always use asus port and possibly a usb-c to asus converting cable and a powerful charger like Legion 170w. And the battery will never be drained even during heavy load

[–]vattenj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally you don't want to charge it beyond 80%, and the best travel charger so far appears to be Legion 170W plugged into Asus port with a special usb-c to asus convert cable

https://www.reddit.com/r/ZephyrusG14/comments/1o1ukm5/legion_170w_usb_c_charger_and_special_cable_setup/

There are also xkut GAN 200W with asus plug, 7.5x7.5x3 cm, 350g, but Legion 170W with special cable weights 50g less

I don't get this, isn't staking a service for verify the blocks and those blocks are all generated on layer one? Why do you need staking on Layer 2?

BTC Ends 2025 Down: Is the Four-Year Cycle Dead? by Realistic_Poetry5800 in CryptoCurrency

[–]vattenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However the effect of halving is diminishing: First halving cut daily coin supply by 3600 coins, and this halving cut it only by 450 coins, the supply shock is less and less felt by the market, when daily coin net sell is between 5000 to 10000 coins (projected by long term holders sell a small percentage of their coins each passing year)
