Thanks, graphics are from https://github.com/alexcumplido/yoga-api

Got a fully working multiplayer with server and client code on the first prompt with grok3 thinking. Added more features and adjustments with and without prompts afterwards

I can confirm. Used it daily before and after Elon take over and haven't seen any of those. Usually it's visible why auch content is shown on your timeline

Fun little project. Author added 5 different wordings for current gains: 1.">= 10%" 2."> 0% AND < 10%" 3."0%" 4."< 0% AND -10%" 5."< -10%" Bitcoin is very volatile and will eventually go above 10% gains again. I wonder if the author will keep the website and keep paying for the domain if it stays above long term.

I don't know if it falls in the tech category but people play games without knowing there is a blockchain behind it.

I build thousands of static pages with kotlinx.html. Suits me best because I can use all the features or my favorite language. That might be an advise in general: find out if your favorite language(s) has a decent web framework

I think we all agree that Axie is not a fun game. There are other games with millions of users that are actually fun and play to earn.

..or LBRY/Odysee

Check out the LBRY protocol and the LBRY desktop app or it's centralized frontend Odysee

"..There are other techniques such as using a solution like IPFS,.." IPFS is pretty much the standard

https://cryptopanic.com/ is good. I have build something similar with a slightly different approach https://coindodo.io/

I felt in love with building static websites last year too.

Thanks to a custom build with kotlinxhtml and a bunch of other tools, I'm very efficient. High performance thanks to simple html+css and a little vanilla js, so the pages show up instantly with 38k+ monthly visitors on a low-spec cheap server. No background loading or rendering in js or whatever.

A few years ago I was upvoting such articles myself, probably out of annoyance that I had known about Bitcoin since 2010 but had no financial interest in it. What got me into it was the open source aspect.

I expect that many users on HN have known about Bitcoins since the beginning and are upset that they didn't look into it years ago. Many will find their niche in it(smart contracts, NFTs..), younger people more so.

Stateless P2P open source currency is an incredibly powerful combination of words.

"..bitcoin may be dead by the middle of 2014.." reminds me of https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/

That must hurt.

Science? Cardano published 100+ scientific papers https://iohk.io/en/research/library if you have time check out the ones about Ouroboros (proof of stake)

Good points. (b) The actual data (jpeg, mp4, 3d mobdel, etc) is usually stored on a system like https://ipfs.io and not on the NFT chain itself. (a) I think the optimal solution would be that it is in the interest of publishers to have their assets used in other projects. This would give them more value, and the NFT creator usually charges a transaction fee on their assets (every time something is sold on the secondary market, a percentage goes to the creator). Another option would be for the indie developer to assign these items to their own items. For example, AAA studio sword xy is assigned to indie game sword xy. Of course you can't manually assign zillions of NFTs, you would probably do this in tiers and I would imagine there would be services built around that. This would eliminate the IP problem as far as I know, and would just mean that owning NFT xy unlocks a feature/element in the game. This would of course be interesting for official collaborations between publishers.

You mean that your in game items get revoked after you got banned from a game? That's actually a good point. It wouldn't help you to sell these items on a secondary market except you try to scam someone. At least the items could still bring you value in external games/prokects.

Imagine an indie game developer creating an open-world game where you can use your Sims furniture, Warcraft sword, Stardew Valley animals and so on.

I don't quite understand your first point. Edit: the NFT is verifiable in your wallet and comes from a verified source

It's not just ugly gifs. It's digital art, your online game items, concert tickets, supermarket vouchers and so on.

Quote from statista: "In 2020, global gaming audiences spent an approximate 54 billion U.S. dollars on additional in-game content". But the players don't own their purchases. You don't play the game anymore, servers go down or you get banned and all your stuff is gone. Think about that.

Edit: Of course my comment got nothing but down votes again on HN. Was worth a try anyway.

The entire crypto world is not like this. Crypto is not all about making money.

I always find it fascinating how HN dis-acknowledges the crypto movement. I admire both and wish they would go hand in hand

There are many alternatives to the proof of work concept. Cardano uses proof of stake with a fraction of energy cost and is academic proven with 100+ peer reviewed papers. Beautiful project

Maybe it was relevant 3 years ago but imo at least 4 of his 6 points are not valid anymore

NFTs disrupted the digital art marketplace.

I have the community edition and I asked myself the same question. A performance boost would have been nice. I would love and pay to have a better performance some day.

Native tokens(also part of Goguen) will be released on 1st of March but smart contracts in Q2

4 years of doing it right and academically proven

> Instead, we need an approach for the average Joe developer to create their idea within the Ethereum ecosystem without the need for hardcore unproven technologies.

Are you familiar with "The Island, The Ocean and the Pond" presentation by Charles Hoskinson?

Yes it would solve the problem. Don't want to look like spam because I replied to a few other comments already but have a look at Cardano Ouroboros
