Get rid of the mandatory account please. I have no need for a twitter account because I have no need to follow people or tweet myself. Why do I need an account.

kyruzicon It’s Still Stupidly, Difficult to Buy a ‘Dumb’ TV

Are you single and living alone? Not trying to be insulting but in that case yea a tv doesn't have much value. But if you have roommates or a family yes TVs definitely have value beyond just a habit.

kyruzicon New on Reddit: Comment search, improved search results relevance, search design

Reddit search has been notoriously horrible since its introduction. It couldn't even search for subreddits effectively. It could never search comments for content.

kyruzicon Stablecoins: Growth potential and impact on banking

Let me know when a cryptocurrency causes a global crisis because of their inability to safely manage funds, because banks have a history of doing exactly that.

kyruzicon Stablecoins: Growth potential and impact on banking

Uniswap is not a crypto exchange. The uniswap router, is a decentralized exchange. Once deployed uniswap does not control it.

kyruzicon Stablecoins: Growth potential and impact on banking

Yes I am aware tether is not backed by nearly as much liquid capital as it claims. Neither are any traditional banks. Any flaws with tether are present in the traditional banking system. Tether at least solves a few of its flaws however.

I am by no means a fan of tether or any other stable coins, but they are just as legitimate as our current banking system.

kyruzicon Stablecoins: Growth potential and impact on banking

The vast majority of bank accounts offer abysmal interest rates. And holding a stable coin is nothing like a bank deposit its like holding cash in your wallet, you and only you have control over the coin. And there are opportunities to "stake" the coin and earn an interest rate.

The primary reason for delays between buying crypto and actually receiving it is your bank. Not the exchange. Your bank is fucking around with your money and not sending it to the exchange immediately and even after they send it they have the ability to reverse the transaction, so the exchange needs the guarantee the money will not be taken from them.

The rest of your comment is just nonsense. Tether is a cryptocurrency I don't even understand how you could argue its not. You should look into all the laws traditional banks break using your money too.

kyruzicon UBS Acquires Wealthfront for $1.4B

There is no way this catches up to e-transfer in popularity. Everyone in Canada knows about venmo and cashapp and the various other scam versions of e-transfers that people are forced to use in America and they laugh at them for it.

E-transfers are literally the best part about Canadian banking.

It would be $700 the link literally tells you that. And you could do it for much cheaper by just lower the gas cost. They used 900 gwei, you can get a transaction through most days for 90 gwei. Right now you could do it for 165 gwei.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

I don't need to write an essay to point out you are wrong.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

You made the comment not them, if you don't know about something its best to keep your ill informed opinions to yourself.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

No we are talking about how web3, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies are all separate yet related ideas. You are saying they are equivalent.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

Do you understand how a venn diagram works? I can give you plenty of examples of blockchains that are unrelated to cryptocurrency, any corporate run block chain. And examples of blockchains unrelated to web3, bitcoin is a well known example of this.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

I said a blockchain is not web3. Not web3 is not a blockchain. Bitcoin is a blockchain, bitcoin is not web3.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

You are so misinformed about web3 that you think BTC is in anyway related to web3.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

No it really is not, but nice try and great meme!

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

No it is not. An image cannot be stored on any of the popular block chains. An NFT contains a link to an image, which the chain has no way of displaying, third party websites like Opensea display the images.

And you can never delete anything from a blockchain so your second point is completely false as well. And even if you could delete something from a chain it could not "drain" your wallet unless you explicitly gave it permission to use your coins.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

This is not true at all.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

This is just factually wrong. Its literally equivalent to saying by holding us dollars you are funding the drug industry.

kyruzicon Web3 and crypto skepticism is growing and people are finally starting to listen

A blockchain is not web3 or crypto.

Nothing, literally nothing about web3 is a pyramid scheme. Yes you can build a pyramid scheme on top of web3. No web3 is not a pyramid scheme.

You can build a pyramid scheme on facebook too, but facebook is not a pyramid scheme.

kyruzicon Ask HN: Should I publish my research code?
