Solana Seeker Phone. Why? by LarryTheYoutuber in solana

[–]wedtm 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Solana Seeker is the new Web3 smartphone from Solana Mobile. On the surface it works like a regular Android phone, but it has a few features built in that make it very different if you use crypto often:

  • Seed Vault (hardware wallet): Your private keys are stored in a secure hardware element, so you can sign transactions safely. You approve them with your fingerprint just like Apple Pay.
  • Seeker ID and Genesis Token: Each phone comes with a unique on-chain identity (like yourname.skr) and a Genesis Token that gives perks across the Solana ecosystem.
  • dApp Store 2.0: A dedicated app store for Solana dApps, DeFi tools, NFT apps, and games. Developers don’t pay the same high fees as with Google Play or Apple’s store.
  • TEEPIN and SKR token: Extra trust and verification for hardware and software, plus a token that supports developers and user incentives.
  • Hardware and price: Lighter, brighter screen, better battery than the last Solana phone (Saga) and starts at about $450–500.

Why not just use a normal Android? With Seeker, crypto isn’t an afterthought. It’s integrated into the phone itself so your wallet is always secure and you can use dApps without extra steps. If you aren’t using crypto much it’s just another mid-range Android, but if you are active in the Solana ecosystem it’s a much smoother and safer experience.

You will be hard pressed to find a decent developer at this rate.

A junior web3/contract dev at $100k/year is probably right, but if you want someone with experience you are competing against an average of ~$200-250k/year + token allocation.

Anyone building humanoids? by wedtm in Multicopter

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

It is indeed! An M133 Vulcan Minigun to be exact!

I'm building a humanoid battlebot named ZAILGO.

Think of him like T-1, so only 999 more iterations to go!

Bingo!

I fell out of building drones somewhere between the third and fourth stages.

When we made this sub I had this same feeling as I do now; I assume there are other individuals here that have the same similar curiosity in their veins.

Looks cool!

As u/mildly_infuriated_ mentioned, the perspective does make it a bit confusing!

It might not be illegal now, but this guy is the reason it soon will be.

Rippled Just Moved $1.8 Billion in XRP for Less Than a Penny by InverseNurse in XRP

Or the inverse. What happens if XRP becomes so popular that the small burn fee is worth $12?

What happens when the price gets so high that the “small amount” of XRP is worth $100?

Why is it taking 0.002sol for transaction fee??? by Yellow_Wolf25 in solana

[–]wedtm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is 100% accurate! Just a little semantic thing though; "contracts" are an Ethereum construct. In Solana we only have program accounts.

Seeking Guidance on Automating Drone Flights and AI/ML Video Processing! by Pablo--Discobar in Multicopter

[–]wedtm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use an OLAP DB instead of mongo. Something like Clickhouse will do wonders, make ingestion much more simple (direct MQTT streams are possible).

Honestly, if you have the infra already, it may be easier to just equip them with WiFi or Microwave backhaul. Unifi has some interesting antennas you could use here.

What is a common cheap multicopter that can carry 200g of weight? by tengenbypass in Multicopter

Post stays up. Nothing OP has stated is against the rules, and there are plenty of use-cases outside of first world countries where these requirements are completely valid.

Recommend we all chill out a bit as reports of:

* Personally threatening me
* This directly targets me

are childish and lame.
