4041  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Managers Wearing Bitcoin Signature, Funny Irony on: March 04, 2021, 07:10:10 PM
I have been seeing that bounty managers abandon to wear bounty that they are promoting or any other bounty but wear signature, I'm wondering on that, and why  Huh Grin

They publish bounty in bounty section and come to service section to apply and wear signature. Is that not funny to you?

...

It not unusual to be honest, firstly they have the right to do so, secondly they may be managing more than one campaign and thirdly and being honest, many people are working in the forum in whatever is more profitable at the moment. No criticism here, I have translated and signed for another campaign myself. One other reason is to spread your risk, since many campaigns disappear into thin air for one reason or another.

No doubt the Ethereum network is super-clogged as of now. There are a number of projects that require the execution of smart contracts to distribute earnings, tokens or the execution of DApps that are currently thinking on moving to some less cool and distributed networks to others such as the Binnance chain that are private but terribly gas and cost effective.

The "FAANG" (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) are now near a monopolistic position in their core areas and they are using it to make extra profits. But the are winds of war, e.g. Apple disallowing segmentation for Facebook and Google or charging in in-app purchases to third parties.



Events such as these have occurred for awhile now.

Apple Disables Flash for OS X Over Security Concerns

Sep 11th, 2013

https://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/apple-disables-flash-for-os-x-over-security-concerns

...

A motive behind these aggressive measures may sometimes be identified.

Microsoft owns and runs Direct X which is a direct competitor to OpenGL. Which was their motive for dumping OpenGL support.

Apple owned internet video and audio codecs which were competitors to adobe flash. Which could explain their motivation for dumping flash support.

It may be too early to identify apple's motive for these moves. Perhaps in the days to come things will become clearer.


On a similar topic, there are always discussion why Apple does not use it's platform to build a search engine to compete with Google. Some think that Apple clients actually do want google to be their default engine, some people argue that Google is technologically dominant. My take is that for now, there is enough open market to grow for all the giants, but when that shrinks it may be open war.
4044  Economy / Economics / Re: Rich have too much on: March 04, 2021, 06:52:26 PM
The Capital in the XXI Century by Thomas Piketty core thesis is that the natural tendency for the capital is to concentrate into a few hands unless legislative provisions are made to avoid it. Also, along with it, come social unrest and the rise of extremisms such as Nazism or Communism.

"The Rich" do have "too much" at this point in time and that is showing in the social unrest in non-democratic countries and the type of parties and leaders elected in those that are democratic.
4045  Economy / Economics / Electronic independence as policy in USA on: March 04, 2021, 06:48:36 PM
A few outlets have echoed Biden's 100 days review of the semiconductors chain of supply, main due to the persistent low level of stocks that are hindering the works of the automobile industry, among others. This comes along other industries reviews.

I see that electronical self-sufficiency could be equivalent to the current energetic independency or self sufficiency that many developed countries try to achieve. And for the future of Crypto and letting my imagination fly, I see that a national mining equipment manufacturer specialised in ASICS (be that GPUs or other) could be an asset to consider.
4046  Economy / Economics / Cathie Wood - Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) & Wallets will disrupt the markets on: March 03, 2021, 11:51:29 PM
Cathie Wood is no small name in investment. She founded and manages the largest actively managed investment fund of 2021 (ARK)

She recently expressed her very optimistic outlook on the future of the NFTs as a way of making investment in art less of an art (pun intended) and a very likely possibility of retail banking being disrupted (further) by the "wallets" and cryptocurrencies.

This is not a wannabe genius, but someone who is exceptional at picking winners. Original interview here.

He leído un par de artículos, referenciados más abajo, y el hilo siguiente de @Pmalek: Bitcoin Mining – Made in China.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbes-personal-shopper/2021/03/01/best-clarifying-shampoos/?sh=6f6822f618d3

Este link es sobre gel de baño Cheesy?

El otro artículo es muy interesante si. Aunque creo q revive viejos argumentos contra el bitcoin q no son ciertos, no deja de ser un problema en una época en la que los bulos y los hechos son simplemente cuestión de elección personal y poder mediático. Mi esperanza es q el sistema financiero, q tiene un poder hipertrofiado en USA puede ver la potencialidad de bitcoin para generar ingresos y convertirse en adalid de la red.
4049  Other / Serious discussion / Purge here & Purge there on: March 02, 2021, 11:26:37 AM
Find the differences between these two:

China's domestic security agencies are going a massive purge

Sources: Trump wants to purge staffers deemed disloyal

Does moral high-ground matter in politics any longer? Is all about winning or does actually convincing matter?

4050  Local / Mercado y Economía / Xi Jinping probablemente esta para quedarse y la economia planificada tambien on: March 02, 2021, 11:22:46 AM
Las noticias recientes indican que va a haber una enorme purga en las agencias de seguridad y el aparato estatal de China. Bajo las habituales, y posiblemente ciertas, razones de lucha contra la corrupcion, eliminacion de carteles y mafias, etc. no cabe duda que Mr Xi va a librarse de todo aquel que resulte molesto para su llegada al Congreso del PCC (que de comunista ya no tiene nada).

La purga del 2017 alcanzon a numerosos miembros del comite central

En teoria Xi deberia dejar paso a otro diriginte tras su mandato de 10 anios, pero no tiene intencion ninguna de hacerlo con lo cual China puede consolidarse como un regimen no solo autoritario, sino de culto al lider unico.

Aproximadamente el 60% de las pools de minado de Bitcoin se encuentran en China, si bien eso no es cierto respecto a la capacidad de minado, que esta mas distribuida. Depender tanto de un lider unico puede suponer un factor de inestabilidad?

4051  Economy / Economics / The bond market affects Bitcoin on: March 02, 2021, 10:50:53 AM
I think that the connection between traditional investment an investment in Bitcoin as an alternative asset by the big player will start to create a link between inflation, rates and the price of bitcoin. It is traditionally well established that stock drop when bond rates rise. Will that happen to bitcoin prices? Is there still a place to hide if bitcoin becomes fully connected?

Es algo que veo que ya está en marcha, con referencias desde el 2018 (puede que antes también). ..

Peligro: El tercer enlace incluye un tweet de McAfee, en el cual comenta que está ayudando (2018) a tokenizar el arte …


Ahí le has dado completamente, primero el 2018, donde salieron monedas hasta para peinar a los calvos... casi todas hoy en el cementerio de tokens y como bien dices... McAfee :O

No se siguen en pie, me los voy a mirar un poco, pero el problema en estas cosas suele ser la confianza, u posible proyecto tendría q tener unas garantías legales importantes. Hoy he escuchado en un podcast q efectivamente se ha tokenizado un Picasso y otro "problema" es q el ser propietario de una obra te da derecho no sólo a venderla sino a disfrutarla, exponerla,... No es lo mismo q tener derecho sobre una fracción de la misma.
4054  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fees in Ethereum Crypto-Kitting the system on: March 01, 2021, 09:23:45 PM
...

I have been a user of ETH network since the beginning of 2017 but have dropped them altogether after I lost some BTCitcoins by investing in so called legit ICOs  Sad Damn, the bits should be valued around $20k or $25k now and the worst part of the sob story is that all the ICOs which I invested had some really great potentials and a few were featured in famous daily newspapers  Cheesy If the devs had build a strong coin since 2017-2018 it would have been one among the strongest in the crypto market  Roll Eyes

...

I know, I was quite a bit into ether a few years ago. I got some good ICOs, some bad ICOs, some great bounties translating and some really horrible ones. Overall, I would say that I managed to earn some crypto from that, but hardly worth the effort. The best thing: I learned quite a bit and had some fun in the "roaring 2018".

I still have in my wallet around 10 shittokens and 2 that are still worth something. Some teams proved themselves worth, yet it was so difficult to tell.
4055  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: As being a miner, what can i do when the Eth is falling on: March 01, 2021, 08:54:00 PM
Just do not mine unless it is for learning. It is proven that it is always better to buy and hold rather than trying to get you mining income. The only exception is if you have free electricity, in which case you will be able to make some profit.

Rearding selling or hodling, I am not too keen on keeping ether as a speculative investment since Bitcoin is traditionally a better performer and ether is not limited in offer and the strategic path is less known. Probably, the eth network would probably benefit long term to people with holdings of at least USD 60000 willing to create a validator node, but even that is unclear.
4056  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's up with Binance Coin? on: March 01, 2021, 06:34:41 PM
BNB is backed by a real value of a large exchange: the ability to pay fees with it. Alongside, there is a large development progress that dwarfs many other chains. For example, Ripple or other private chains which have been much longer on the market and have done little to actually create value for owners.
4057  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Deflationary Tokens on: March 01, 2021, 06:31:58 PM
I am well aware of coins with controlled inflation like BTC, where a finite number of coins will be generated at a controlled rate.

Contrary to popular belief, deflationary coins and tokes are not due to diminshing emission, but rather to having a higher emission than demand. It is a concept that is frequently misunderstood.
4058  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Fees in Ethereum Crypto-Kitting the system on: March 01, 2021, 06:30:32 PM
It feels that we are back to a couple of years ago when Cryptokitties collapsed the Etherum network. At that time, kittens proved too much to handle to the "future of finance", but now it seems that it is the network itself that has been blocked for lack of planning IMHO, while now we are facing a massive gas burner: The Uniswap router.

Para las personas q tienen una cartera de activos relativamente amplia, es importante encontrar activos desvinculados de la bolsa y la economía o incluso "antifragiles". Hasta ahora el Bitcoin ha sido relativamente bueno para protegerse de la inflación y de los desmanes económicos de los gobiernos más irresponsables. Pero la volatilidad no deja de ser un problema, aunque por ahora es volatilidad hacia arriba Smiley

Para solucionar esto existen las inversiones alternativas, típicamente monedas, artes, tierras, bosques. Estaba pensando q es una auténtica pena q las ICOs hayan tenido tan mala forma de empezar, siendo las más de las veces puros scams y otras simplemente ideas irrealizables con equipos inútiles. Pero no os creais, q eso tb pasa en el "mundo real".

El fondo de esta cuestión es que el inversor de andar por casa rara vez tiene un patrimonio suficiente para diversificar sus inversión en activos de arte reconocidos. Esto se ha solucionado con el fraccionamiento de activos (e.g. se compra un cuadro de Picasso, se almacena en una bóveda y se reparten participaciones de su propiedad).

El problema de este tipo de participaciones es que no tienen liquidez y ahí es donde creo que la emisión de tókenes podría ser una buena solución. O me estoy perdiendo algo o esto sería un ejemplo perfecto de aplicación real y valiosa de la tokenización del activo? Hay algún proyecto serío ya lanzado para arte, monedas o similar?
