no its like telling someone to not craft their own payload and call the api directly. Use the front end which handles that for you.

If you dont know what you are doing you should never interact with a smart contract directly. People like the guy who lost 500k should be using the frontends which interact with the contracts properly. https://wrapeth.com/

people send eth to get weth back, weth is an erc20 wrapper for eth - wrapped eth

your whole comment reads like an ad for that video

How are you measuring that

From a first principles perspective what they really do and do well is remove trust from the equation. Regulations are setup mainly in situations where a central party has wholly control over something and we cant trust to not fuck us over.

>Many countries are banning cryptocurrencies

How many times has china banned bitcoin now, 20?

>Like, maybe have a thing that doesn't break its own core rules when a bunch of jerks decide that it should? That would be a start.

LOL

Whats your suggestion, how should crypto people react? They currently dont hide the fact the network split twice (8 years ago), so what else should they do?

Very true, I even think satoshi wrote that somewhere on bitcointalk back in the day, something along the lines of "I have designed bitcoin, it solves byzantine general problem. This solution is extremely complex so it should hide the fact what ive really made is a ponzi scheme"

short it then

some people have different risk appetite

those who reap the profits will be network validators, which as of today is ~300k validators[1]

Yes, and a lot of people hand their money to lazy scammers who use imgur as the file host

slowly but surely things improve, and then people find something else to complain about

Ok but currently they are using IPFS so does it matter if they once used the cloud? Go here[1] and scroll down to tokenURI and input 1 and you will get an IPFS hash back.

Yes really, if you don't have conviction you are just virtue signalling. I want to see which it is.

the public dismay at the carbon footprint of crypto is always fascinating to me. The network rewards are setup in such a way the the most profitable miners are the ones with the cheapest electricity as this is their biggest overhead. This pushes miners to the cheapest forms of electricity, i.e renewables

What about proof of stake chains, do you reject those too? How many companies with huge carbon footprint do you reject? What about cows did you reject them?

everyone running erigon nodes (like myself) are running full archival nodes, currently there are ~300, https://www.ethernodes.org/.

Many geth nodes are archival, but we cant see which ones are.

trustless, immutable, censorship resistant, permissionless.

It can. The biggest success of crypto has been putting public/private key pairs in the hands of 10s of millions of people.

When you sign in with web3 you are signing a message with your private key, and the website is verifying the it was in fact you that signed the message by checking the messages signature with your public key.

The only way anyone can gain control of your wallet is if you give them your private key (or the seed to the privk) or if your PC is compromised (but you have bigger issues then)

Nothing, just like nothing is stopping people bidding on their own art, livestock, antiques at auctions.

what you are noticing is increased interest in permissionless data. But sure, reframe everything you think of as bad thought as manufactured.

so they are changing cold wallets, how is this news?

Dublin is also going through a housing crisis right now. The population grew 400k in the last 10 years and they built virtually no apartments.

thats the result of making millions of people pledge to a flag every morning when they were kids

> which will increase wages and lower cost of living (real estate) pressures.

this is nonsense

they refunded the fee to bitfinex
