You haven't been able to GPU mine bitcoin in like a decade, every miner uses dedicated ASICs specifically for mining btc. It's been impossible to compete without ASICs for a very long time.

I'm creating an NFT project that's doing something I've never really seen other projects doing in any capacity, and can confirm it's pretty hard doing something against the current perception of what is possible with the

It's honestly difficult to discuss ideas in the space outside of specialized discord channels given how divisive people on social media like twitter have been on the subject. Wallet based authentication is amazingly simple to work with

You can easily create as many wallets as you'd like, and keep your funds isolated from a wallet you use as an identity, if you wanted. There are multi-key wallets out there as well to retain control of your wallet in the event that one

I think it's a really neat space to explore and love the idea of provable digital ownership. There's a lot of projects in the space that are interesting ideas, and it is fascinating to see parts of the web stack increasingly decen

The best examples right now are honestly NFT marketplaces or DeFi, however you can authenticate with these services without needing to have any funds available on your wallet. If you're curious and want to try out the flow, you can dow

Clearly you have a strong dislike for the tech, and that's fine I don't care of course, but do keep in mind that there are ways to isolate risk pretty easily. Even if the technology doesn't result in a huge change in how auth

NFTs are only expensive on Ethereum. You can mint for cents or less on other chains.

by shiohime 5y ago
But you can determine NFT authenticity by only examining onchain data. You can for instance check the program ID that executed the mint and that it is verified (in the case of Solana, at least), it's a pretty simple verification system

NFTs are simply single issue tokens that can optionally be part of a collection. While most NFTs today take the form of a link to decentralized storage on solutions such as IPFS or Arweave, it is completely possible for an NFT to provide va

I can give an example of a proof of concept app I created for a hackathon - Frontend hosting, I decided to go with a traditional hosting solution (vercel). Nothing changing here. Backend APIs - Was able to replace the need for dedicated bac

Not gonna lie, it really blew my mind when I was onboarding junior engineers that not every engineer knows how to touch-type. Frankly, I had never even heard of the terminology "touch-type" until that moment, and basically thought

I worked at a startup that was acquired by a larger corporation. This echoes my experience as well, everything became so clogged up with processes, documentation, responsibilities so distributed that there were times it became unclear who w

It's not too much different than most other ventures, most failed, a couple have built out successful products.

I honestly agree too having worked in enterprise, but see it more as an inevitability as an enterprise product continues to be supported for years and years, as the original talent is churned, and multiple generations of engineers come and

This is true, but I think that they really should disable approving the transaction prior to the simulation finishing. Because right now, you can simply approve a transaction blindly without letting this complete and seeing the changes in y

That's like saying every java developer since the beginning of time is not talented because they decided to pull in log4j.

The materials already used in your house may not go up in value, but the value of the raw materials themselves certainly have gone up in value due to 30% inflation or whatever over the past year. Take a look at lumber prices. In this exampl

Minting is just essentially purchasing something with a couple of extra steps behind the scene. What pretty much happens when you are minting an NFT is: 1. The owner of the collection uses a program that controls everything around the NFT s

This is my viewpoint after having been interested in the space for a few years, and working as a dev in the space for most of this year - 1. Blockchains can essentially serve as a decentralized database, and for some chains decentralized co

You can use the technology to make products that are quite unique. I used a game engine to generate art and also provide a bunch of ways to interact with the art, and tokenized the generated pieces. Owners of the pieces will be able to load

NFTs do not have to be links to pictures on cloud / decentralized storage. That is just their primary implementation right now, but they can quite literally be a token to represent anything, not simply a jpg. But even in this case, yea

You can use NFTs for proof of digital ownership though? Not sure what you're even saying lol. I've heard more lies from people claiming everything in the space is a scam (when their own knowledge is obviously lacking) than scammer

Phantom wallet is great! It's currently primary a solana wallet, but I believe that they are in beta for Ethereum support, but if you are curious to try out web3 stuff Solana is great for it. I strongly prefer the UI over this wallet c

I'm not overly religious but am Christian, and feel like many these behaviors you're describing are also shown by ardent atheists. I feel like the key to many problems lies in moderation and in general not harassing people instead
