There are factions within crypto, some think the "end of history" looks like crypto replacing centralized systems. others (like myself) think those systems are complements and simply alternatives in the marketplace. As to being ad

coinbase is to namebase as bitcoin is to handshake

the context for that comment is that handshake took a snapshot of the icann namespace. so any names icann adds or changes after the fact will conflict with the HNS namespace.

yeah. right now it's ~$0 since there's no fee competition, but as soon as the total names registered gets close to the limit (66 million) then the cost of renewall will go up and it will be costly to squat. there are 1.85 million

total number of names "total", not total number per wallet

the way handshake addresses this problem is putting a cap on the total number of names that can be registered, and then users compete on fees in order to get their transaction mined to renew the name

I use it, and own a small portfolio of names on chain. "base" and "faq" are a couple of them. It's been pretty interesting to watch the ecosystem mature. Just recently a small dev team released a desktop app that sy

There are a few blockchain based solutions to this problem. - Handshake - ENS - Namecoin My favorite so far is Handshake - a fork of the bitcoin protocol with added support for covenants, which is how arbitrary names can be registered and a

you only need hns.to if you haven't set up your system to resolve handshake names directly, or (theoretically) use a browser that has support baked in. It's on Brave Browser's roadmap to resolve handshake DNS directly.

Can you go into a little more detail about who owns the bank account that users are depositing into when they use sparkswap?

It depends on how you interpret your jurisdiction's tax laws. in the united states there are some tax professionals that would count airdrops as taxable, and others that wouldn't if you never plan to claim the airdrop.

This is why anyone trading digital assets should use a tax tracker to understand the implications of each trade before they make it. I've spent some time building software for exactly this ( https://cryptotax.tools ).

I actually disagree with this. As someone who uses linux as the primary build OS for my software projects, i need to know just enough to make things work but I don't necessarily want to be an uber linux expert. This results in me const

you extract value from fat protocols by owning part of the protocol itself, then influencing the direction of the development by being part of the community.

Yeah, I tried doing this as well. But you're right, the spread on the arbitrage pretty much vanishes as soon as you try to do any kind of significant volume. I suspect my trading pair was "too" liquid. This could possibly be

Looks great! Might want to double check US regs. As I understand it, businesses that accept crypto from person A and transmit it to person B are considered "money transmitters" in the United States https://www.fincen.go
