Great read. Been following Arweave since 2018 and this is one of the best things I've seen come out of it so far.

You mean use DAI for that.

Look at how centralized Stellar is and then you have your answer for <5s tx

Do you think raising the block size would create more issues? Although it seems BTC is committed to layer 2 scaling solutions.

The copyright at the bottom of your site still says 2018 :)

Apple Maps got me lost 3 times in a row, put me at least 1 mile out of the way. Never used it again.

I use CryptoWoo plugin for BTC payments and I use KyberSwap WooCommerce plugin for erc20 payments, you can select if you want to convert to DAI at checkout. BTC I just take the risk and believe it will keep appreciating in value over time.

We've processed over $200k in orders with over $100k being in BTC and ETH payments since 2017. Crypto merchandise website.

Skype has ads now too, crazy.

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is the new ICO

https://defipulse.com - 3m ETH locked so far as of today (1 year ago = 1.9m ETH, 2 years ago = 63k ETH)

Been nomading since 2017 and I agree with all of this. I typically stay 2 weeks to 8 weeks in a location depending on how much I like it. Start out with renting a place for 3-5 nights and then extend if you like it from there. Costs a little more, but saves headaches in case there are issues when you arrive.

I primarily stay in SEA where I never spend more than $1-2k/mo depending on how luxurious my apartment is (anywhere between $300 - $1000/mo). I stayed in a studio in Thailand for $150/mo my first time there 15 min walk from the sky train so super cheap deals can be found. Most require a 3-6 month minimum lease, but if you factor in the cost savings it's sometimes worth it even if you won't be there the full 3-6 months.

Arweave is doing great stuff but I think it'd still run into a similar situation as archive.org -- Check out the arweave discord dev community if you haven't though!

Comes out the other end too.

Check out https://www.arweave.org/hosting.html - they'll give you free tokens to archive your site indefinitely on the blockweave.

I love Brave, keep it going :)

Same here. If Gemini offered DAI I'd be more likely to purchase it but GUSD only has a small amount of 3rd party services using it. The only one I can think of is BlockFi right now.

Happy to see Arweave mentioned here, their dev community is super strong and they're doing a lot right from what I see.

Sounds like http://arweave.org

Very safe, most dangerous thing here are the roads. High death count, 80%+ occurring on motorbikes. Not much crime, I feel safe walking down any random alley at 3am. So yes, you can walk anywhere without fear. Bad things happen, but it feels much safer here than anywhere in the US.

English is spoken almost everywhere, at least basics. 35m+ people travel to Bangkok every year and the tourist industry here is large.

I spend about $800/mo on rent but I have a very nice condo with gym + pool within 5 minutes walking to the sky train close to the center of downtown. I also do month to month with no contract, if you do a 6 month contract you can find a studio for $200/mo ~15 mins walking to the train - I just prefer convenience and luckily make enough income to cover the costs. Maybe spend another $500-700 a month on food and transportation.

Going out to eat is about the same cost and buying food/cooking and the food delivery services here are great (either free delivery or 50 cents for delivery). Most my meals average $5 usd but I usually eat at higher end place, you can do $1-2/meal if you want but it's lower quality food and ingredients typically. I like to go out, but don't drink often so alcohol isn't a big cost in my budget. Beer is usually $3-5 a bottle at most bars compared to somewhere like Vietnam where everywhere has beer for $1.

I initially went for 1 month (1 week in BKK -> 1 week in chiang mai -> 1 week in Koh Lanta -> back to BKK) and ended up staying for 5 months total the first year while traveling to Cambodia and Vietnam for visa runs. I definitely recommend 3-4 weeks your first time to see if it's for you with a similar route to me to get a feel of the different cities. I liked chiang mai more at first but grew to love Bangkok the most now.

Don't worry about booking much accommodation far in advance as there's much readily available. I just like to book a nice place for my first week to recover from jetlag before I head out and play the rest by ear.

Hope that helps!

I've been remote the past 3 years and live in Bangkok ~6 months out of the year (visa issues staying any longer than 6 months per year) - still love it! Been to almost every other country in Asia but Bangkok feels most like home to me.

Living in SEA, I really enjoyed having the option of both Uber and Grab as it was easy to compare prices, and sometimes get a taxi for cheaper.

Now I use Grab as a price gauge and usually haggle a taxi for lower if he doesn't want to use a meter. Can usually always get a taxi cheaper, GrabBike is the only thing that beats it.

This happened to me with an e-commerce site I run last year. About 10 exact clones of our site popped up with slightly different names. We had so many calls from people who were tricked and had no real solution. They were targeting via Facebook ads mostly as we asked how they found the site. Contacted Facebook but they would not do anything. Some of the sites still exist. Reported them to google as well, but didn’t help.

What happened with the flight attendant? I'm flying United soon first time, kind of nervous lol (won't be using my laptop on the plane but will be in my bag)

Check these articles out, he had at least one mentor

Ah, so delete all the apps from my phone.

So should I delete the app from my phone?
