I’ve stopped coming to kbin a while ago, and just came to check how well and alive you’re all here. Honestly, I hoped for more traffic around. I’d like to find myself a social eth-centric group other than r/ethfinance, but damn, its hard.

Wait… what? Where did you read that? On their page (ethscriptions.com) I can only see that its an NFT stored in call data, i.e. something as old as the Ethereum itself. Nothing about actual subscriptions or payments.

I guess I am off to reading now!

done: TL;DR; We need better smart wallet management (cross L2 + privacy), and here are couple of specific ways to do it.

I never cared for the “first” comments, tbh. But here I learned that its much better to see that, than emptiness…

This is very good news. Polygon team keeps on delivering, and doing it in right order. My bet is, they’ll have two trustless rollups before Optimism decentralizes.

Slow, we still lack critical mass to make this place engaging enough. I’d say feel free to shitpost until morale improves.

@Stardust Better, but for some reason, it still feels much smooth @ lemmy.

I really hope that the first paragraph is just a PR stunt… if not, we’re here for you, and sure can send some ‘canned food’ via ERC20 DAI contract. Also, a web3 dev can definitely bounce back high from the bottom.

What your need from us specifically? Technical involvement or just more content?

Also, I was not tagged properly, so I’ve almost missed this! @jbm

Some people consider Ethereum as “the first” or “the only”… it’s all about perspective.

I was aiming more in active participation and loose talk, rather than one person reading and preparing summary based on their own opinion. Pick a project, and make it theme for the other day’s talks.

How often are going to SSH into your machin now?

The entire quote could be used as “our values” or “motton” for any decentralized competition of Reddit:

“The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable, But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”

It really explains why it is not worth to give it to ANY big company, Reddit included.

I don’t think we must build a top notch audit company. Probably most of us use dApps already, and having any “trusted” look at the code is better than none. Also, as much it might be hard to locate a sophisticated back-door by creators, it is relatively easy to spot an upgradebale proxy and multisig owners (which are often ignored by audit companies as this works “as designed”). This, and general overview of the code I can do myself, as I do it anyway for my personal sense of security.

I was thinking… could we have a “dApps book club”? It is somewhat boring and hard to dig into many projects by oneself (and extremely easy to miss something). It is also impossible to find independent review in Google/Twitter/Reddit/etc. If we had a small pool of people who knew one another, it could be actually the best possible approach.

I think picking one DeFi project a week or every few days would suffice. Then some people would chip in with all the red flags they’ve found in whitepaper and their business model, others could investigate sensibility of their tokenomics, their docs and of course, their code.

How could be start such a thing? Is it even possible, or is there to few of us?

Even better than in USA and EU, where their $$$ could (and would) be frozen by yet another political play.

Theter is part of our decentralized system. You need something purely on-chain, like RAI or LUSD, but you also need something big and liquid with actual backing. And here you have two way street - USA based with more transparency, but much of regulatory risks, or USA - independent, which means its gonna by shady and located in places with little USA influences.

I like the fact that we have so many options. Its harder to kill.

Also, Theter FUD is quarterly event in crypto.

Just a question, can we post offtopic here? Like, make it r/ehtfunance or even r/ethfunhouse?

Sorry if its too…, offtopic, I am bit tired, but at the same time I am set to ‘contribute’ something here today.

Well, the smaller the group the less time consuming it ends up. Might be good to combat reddit addiction :)

I just scrolled 3 pages and got nothing. Why the tease? I feel lied to.

It’s nice having two ethfinance’ to follow instead of one, but it makes me feel sad this is one is so empty. And even when someone posts, they comment this place emptiness and technical issues (like me right now, lol). I think I’ll make some effort to posting here more and see who stick around. Worst case scenario, I am gonna talk to myself.

@cryptOwOcurrency I had the same though. It’s a perma-daily. Sadly, its is still so empty.
