  • "NFT-Powered Dan Harmon Series 'Krapopolis' Finally Gets Premiere Date"

    ...a series of 10,420 NFTs that promised to offer some degree of show-related access to holders.

    The collection has already generated 512 ETH, or over $957,726 at writing, in trading volume.

    Krap Chicken NFT holders will be able to attend exclusive in-person events, vote on the show’s direction, and use eggs generated by their NFTs to purchase affiliated merchandise and digital goods—though details on those perks are still rather vague.

  • interesting. I never quite liked HN (honestly I didn't even know it still existed), but this seems interesting. No comments/discussion though, just link aggregation...

  • People don't care. They just want to scroll their friends feeds.

  • Share Your Favorite Linux Distros and Why You Love Them
  • Another vote for Pop OS. I was already somewhat familiar with Ubuntu, and the nvidia drivers included in Pop as well as its gaming support drew me to it. It's worked very well for the most part.

  • the company (steam) doesn’t allow game items that could have real-world value

    I'm sorry, but wtf do they consider the steam marketplace?

    Steam is just another company that's lived long enough to become the villain. Epic (very pro crypto) will happily continue to take marketshare away from Steam.

  • What keeps you going to the gym?
  • I didn't want to get a stereotypical dadbod. Then I got powerlifting blackpilled and ended up fat af anyways. Cutting down lately and doing more bodybuilding stuff.

  • at this point, I'm done with discord. What a joke.

    All the nft projects I was part of are dead anyways. daily gwei and evmav discord seem to be the only active and informative ones.

  • we're not at maximum despair? It's been depressing af lately.

  • I wonder how the api changes will affect redact, and pushshift for that matter... (does redact just use pushshift under the hood?)

  • Moronic Mondays - What fitness questions do you have?
  • r assistance work is it better to

    option 1 or 2 is likely better. New exercises each week makes it harder to track if you're progressing. It's doable, and certainly keeps training sessions fresh, but I think most people would avoid it.

    Honestly, I don't change my exercises much, or ever. I have a home gym, so already limited in what I can do. But there's only so many quality exercises. You don't need to always be changing them.

    Should you run the same push/pull/leg assistance exercises every workout or one set for each day?

    Exercise variety is good. Doing the same thing every day might lead to overuse issues.

  • How are competitors going to achieve what Ethereum is achieving, with less devs, less decentralization, less security, less dapps, less tvl, less volume/liquidity, less user fees, less stakers, less nodes, etc? Businesses might be testing on these faster/cheaper chains, but I don't think they're stupid. The value prop for blockchain/crypto is with Ethereum.

    Eth is STILL unusable for all the use cases after 11 fucking years

    Can you be specific? In what way is Ethereum unusable? I would say that, yes, Ethereum is still building out infrastructure. It hasn't even been a year since the Merge. It's barely been a year since EIP1559. What are these other "competitors" achieving? All I see are ghost chains and vaporware.

    progress is too slow

    What's your benchmark? What's your metric for measuring fast or slow progress? Is there an emergent need to rush upgrades with literally billions at risk for any mistakes made?

    We could have tokenized real world assets but instead we became a pepe casino, now all the big boys are making their own Blockchain to finalize tokenized assets.

    We have. There are examples of this. 4k.com Fabrica, roofstock, ticketmaster

    the old guard will make it first and use it since we are to focused on pump and dumps and pepe shit coins and "web 3" that costs users money to like a fucking post instead of charging advertisers on the back end

    This is something addressed in the reddit thread Addressing Common Criticism

    "Even if companies adopt Ethereum they will just run a private chain"

    "Not just companies, but we're going to see private chains being run for consumers. We are already seeing some of this with Binance Smart Chain, but in the future, I'd speculate have big players like governments, banks, and corporations run private chains."

    "Naturally, there'll also be business adoption for the public chain with B2B activities."

    "Like I alluded to at the very beginning, only a very limited amount of gas will be consumed on the Ethereum L1 chain long term. But that doesn't matter - L1 will be 100% saturated at all times, and other solutions building with Ethereum only adds to its network and Lindy effects."

  • I dgaf about the ratio and tbh it's kind of cringy and silly that ethfinanciers focus on it as much as they do. Bitcoin could go to $1,000,000 and the ratio drop like a rock, ... , and I wouldn't care. I'd be happy for everybody holding bitcoin. What bitcoin does or is doesn't influence why I'm invested in and using Ethereum/ETH.

  • I just feel apathetic. Tradfi and crypto markets are both bullshit. Just have to play the long game.
