I’m from India and it’s about ₹120 ~ $1.4.

That’s not what was said. You said even if the coins are transferred to another wallet, it could be tracked to a new reddit account. It can’t.

Idc about the value of Ether itself. If it maintains a healthy valuation in real world terms, that’s all that is needed to secure Ethereum. I don’t need to trust validators to know they are doing their job, that’s how the system is designed. Validators should make sure that state integrity is preserved and that’s about it. If they don’t, their stake gets reduced and can even go to zero. This is exactly what it means to be trustless. The valuation of Ether is only relevant to the point that it retains enough value that attacking the network becomes prohibitively expensive.

Market manipulation is a function of people and non-transparent dealings. If anything, fully onchain finance would allow information asymmetry to be reduced so that regular people can beware of such frauds.

Are there con artists? Of course. Why would that make me not try to build a better system than “regulated finance” which is the same, if not worse, deal but where I am not allowed to participate by regulators who act as gatekeepers.

Ether by itself is useless, its value is determined by how much demand blockspace on Ethereum has. This is a better system than my government imposing capital controls and taxing the shit out of me without even giving me a good bus to ride on to work.

Anyway, like it was said, if you don’t get it, it’s not really my job to convince you, but I hope you don’t go around spreading misinformation like you are doing right now.

No, they can’t. How would an EOA created in any standard wallet be linked to a Reddit vault?

Yes, but they can’t be linked to a reddit account, which was your whole point.

You can transfer it to a wallet that is not linked to reddit.

And Ethereum is not like Bitcoin anymore, so the environmental concerns are reduced.

Just use Firefox? Available on desktop and Android.

It even has adblock extensions on Android!

Well, the badge can be displayed only after the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain. Easy way to verify and prevent spam awards.

You don’t really need Lemmy to change anything. Just have the user fill in a wallet field in their profile and Lemmy to have their own wallet address. Now, you can tip a user and have some of that go to Lemmy as well by specifying the ratio in the contract or even having it being customisable by the donor.

Pretty sure this is just the apps adding up all the upvotes/downvotes you receive and not an actual Lemmy feature.

Never used a Macbook, but most software companies love them for some reason.

Uninstall Linux. Get a MacBook. Go outside and touch grass. Fall in love.

This is a dark path you’re going down, youngling!

Edit: Linux nerds mad they don’t get any :) It’s okay bros, I don’t get any either.

Even as a crypto enthusiast, the web3 movement smelled like VC manure being dumped on a field hoping something grows.

Write it in Rust, bro!

I’m finally part of the 1%!

Doesn’t say why they were arrested though.
