Living in crypto-space, following whatever pleases a group and not having one's own judgement can be dangerous. It's important to know one's own principles and be determined to carry them out.

In other words, make your own choices, don't just let the group decide for you.

The above is a demonstration of running unmodified #Ethereum dapps in #Substrate, via the Frontier project, by embedding #EVM execution engine and emulating Ethereum's JSON-RPC protocol. Note that the Frontier project is currently still work-in-progress. https://github.com/paritytech/frontier

If you can't tell the difference, does it matter whether it is #Ethereum or #Substrate?

The only problem I have with Rust is its slow compile time.

Some blockchains stay as whitepapers. Some blockchains go from whitepapers to real things. Yet there are some blockchains -- they go from real things to hypes and whitepapers.

I'm honestly amazed that this bug still exist today in Discord -- it has been like this for quite a long time. Post a link covered in brackets, such as `(https://that.world)`. The link preview will not show.

I'm starting to feel that in integrated information theory (IIT), Christof Koch made the conclusion that "current computer design will not feel the same consciousness as human beings" with the prior assumption that we do not live in a simulation. He did not touch the simulation argument at all.

@resynth1943 Try Steam's Proton / Wine. It has been improved a lot in recent years. I've been playing games on Linux exclusively for quite some time.

Most games, even those "Windows only" ones, worked flawlessly. So far only had a few refusing to start. The one that surprised me most was Elite Dangerous -- the Horizon DLC did not support Mac even, but it worked on Linux under Wine!

@resynth1943 Twitter had the plan. https://twitter.com/jack/status/1204766078468911106

I'd honestly think whoever joins the fediverse empowers it, no matter it's open source or closed-source, in the same way that Gmail has not affected my ability to run my own mail server.

Blockchains should only store things that must be there -- hashes, for the most of time. Everything else that can be put off-chain should be.

I spent a week not visiting Hacker News, and cleaned up opened tabs in my browser from 50+ to about 10.

Feeling much more content now.

This especially applies if the chain needs constant hard forks, but does not have a clear leader team. With it, the team will take care of network security. (Ethereum, Zcash, Monero, etc.) However, without it, development teams will simply choose to carry out things with the most marketing potential, or just looks the most shinny. (Ethereum Classic, etc.) (2/2)

In many blockchains, there is a lack of incentive to pursuit network security. Participants care a lot about individual security -- whether my money is safe, whether my node can be hacked, but they care much less about network security -- whether the network is slow, whether other contracts will break, whether systematic attack may be possible. (1/2)
