Interesting product, I use moralis quite a bit for this type of service. I'm curious how you differentiate yourselves from them.

Yes, you are correct that the computational of running the smart contracts is very small in relation to the proof of work. But actually, the main cost is not computation, but storage. Storage (any variable that is holding data inside the co

Seems really promising, but how does it work with browser extensions? For instance, I'm looking for something like this that will help me test my crypto app that uses metamask at various points through the app. Also, no public pricing

Wow, really well said. I think that's the clearest way I've heard this idea expressed on the US v China competition

Can someone explain to me how this differs from Apollo? Is it that it has a tighter integration with the DB layer?

This seems very similar to geojson.io . I'm curious, are you leveraging their source somehow?

If someone could pull this idea off--or a similar idea around physical cash it could be a huge boon in countries like Venezuela that are primarily cash based still but the local currency is very weak.

This is so true! I was the exact same when I started with abelton. Someone told me you have to make 100 crap songs before your first good one. Best way to get better is to just start trying to make stuff and stop comparing your work to what

I agree with all of this, which I why I generally play more guitar than piano. I find it more expressive and I "feel" the music more. That being said, I think a midi keyboard is the best interface for controlling software synths.

You might want to check out the roli seaboard, I have one and it's great for playing synths. A bit pricey but I enjoy it a lot. I got it because I was tired of making music through a UI and wanted to 'feel' it more like I do

Finishing in music is one of the hardest things to do. My approach is to try to write something small every day (I call these daily loops), and then flesh my favorite one of those out into a full song every 1-2 weeks. I find that without so

One technique I use is to noodle in some scale, then whatever note I land on try to play that note's chord by ear. You'll hit a lot of wrong chords at first but over time your ear will get better.

This has worked well for me and is what converted me to being a crypto-vangelist. Anyone who's tried to pay a team in india in USD and had it often take well over a week will appreciate when you can get it done in under 45 min using cr

I own a Seaboard Rise and it's awesome! That being said, there's still something about it that feels "artificial". When I play the guitar, the strings still gives a level of stretch and feedback that it's quite capt

One challenge I have with TS is that when writing interfaces for untyped libs it's easy to make a mistake. I've had issues where VScode was telling me something was the incorrect type because someone else on the team had written a

This is exactly my experience. If your project doesn't have a nice build pipeline for TS then it can become quite awkward and take more work, especially if you have isomorphic code that isn't all in TS already. Also, a lot of the

As an artist I totally loved this! Especially you talking about just wanting to make songs when you get home in the evening, not hustle on every single front. $400 a month is admirable for music creation!

Ehhhh, I really haven't had these issues with any of the meteor apps I've made. Even getting swiping and full page animation transitions has been relatively simple. My experience is anecdotal, but I actually left being android dev
