Polkadot / Kusama (by the original CTO of Ethereum Dr. Gavin Wood)

Nice recent interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAa1vKyVR5M


Polkadot/Kusama are amazing projects, but not designed to be used primarily as p2p currencies. As much as I have some issues / doubts with Cardano, I still think it's the most viable PoS cryptocurrency for mass adoption right now. ETH2 maybe also, whenever the transition actually happens.


except the fact they are literally centrally premined scams and not permissionless since you can't get stake without someone choosing for literally no forced reason to give you access

there's a reason ethereum has always been considered a scam by every developer in the space that wasn't a premine scammer


By "make the world population less" he means giving birth-control and sex education to those in developing countries, not killing off the people who already exist.



That is how a direct listing works.

Too bad HN users hated on him in 2012 when looking for a co-founder instead of having an open mind.


I know this will get downvoted and what not ... I am actually wondering ...

1) Are people really concern before posting their actual thoughts on HN ( Is it not bad for a product developer to not know about actual thoughts but some carefully written words ? )

2) Why are people on HN so pessimistic about everything ?


We call that 4chan.


4chan hasn't been "uncensored" for a long time. Over time most of the boards have become overgrown with obtuse and smothering posting rules, both written and unwritten (and new ones are often created out of whole cloth to suit the moment). Even the handful that are supposedly "anything goes" have been seriously reigned in. It's just that 4chan started out so open, and the modern web was gentrified so much faster, that even in its hobbled state the site seems like the wild west comparatively.


Don't forget about Kusama. Expect Chaos... ;)

My SEO ranks are always the best when I use WordPress, and I'm in eCommerce so it's important to me. Haven't been able to get the same results with Shopify, but I am actually currently moving a $1m/year site from WooCommerce to Shopify, and 50%+ of traffic comes from organic search, so hoping there isn't too much long-term damage from google with the transition. The founder really wants to move to Shopify being the reason.
