    A reply to Jeremy Lubin

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 01:02 AM PDT

    The consultant of Stellar made headlines recently and got featured by techcrunch for his article here: https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/02/the-collapse-of-eth-is-inevitable/

    The author claims that miners would prefer to be paid in native ERC20 tokens such as BuzzwordCoin making ETH redundant and its price plummet to zero.

    If this claims is not obviously immediately ridiculous I will give some input on why is the case:

    1) If there is choice and tokens have value then some miners will prefer Ether just because its one of the choices making the price impossible to plummet to zero unless all coins have zero value.

    2) If a miner wants to be paid in another token there needs to be price discovery which is firstly quite difficult but even if there is, it's going to be there for tokens that have sufficient liquidity and circulation. Do you think a miner would like to be paid in the ERC20 token I made for myself to give to my relatives? That's absurd.

    3) If real world asset tokenization will be a thing then do you think I would prefer to pay the miners in the token I cut for my apartment shares so that a Chinese random guy will have a small portion of my apt?

    It surprises me that Techcrunch posted such FUD.

    I am pretty sure that either author is not a competent logical programmer that can understand if/then logic arguments OR that he is but as he is working for Stellar he posted this to create panic in noobs/non technical people which is malicious.

    Which one is it Jeremy?

    Edit: Sorry for confusing Jeremy Lubin for Jeremy Rubin if a mod can change the title.

    Could this fully decentralized Ethereum sportsbook be a strong building block for adoption?

    First of all, this is not an affiliated post! The sports betting platform covered on that article features ETH sports betting through MetaMask's browser extension. No money is ever sent to them, all they do is supply a way for people to create markets or accept others.

    It also operates in a very defined way, with not much room for ambiguity. It's stated on this interview that 500ETH were wagered last week and they're only on an early phase!

    Can someone make an email server on ethereum?

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 04:01 PM PDT

    Right now there are options like Protonmail and Hushmail, but they can be infiltrated, right? Surely there is a way to make a simple enough open source email server on the ethereum or another blockchain, where all emails are encrypted with wallet public and private keys. People can pay for network costs with ether. It really just needs to be accessible with IMAP.

    You would use whatever client you want to retrieve your encrypted emails with IMAP, and then decrypt them with private key for the wallet that registered the email address.

    Need clarification on difficulty bomb timings

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 03:59 PM PDT

    I can't really find solid info on the timing of the difficulty bomb. Here's what I'm after:

    1. When will the bomb activate (=show first effects) in the present software version?

    2. When will the bomb make PoW unfeasible in the present software version?

    3. EIP-1234 seems to be accepted by devs. When will the bomb activate according to EIP-1234?

    4. When will the bomb make PoW unfeasible according to EIP-1234?

    Could someone please give both block height and date estimation for these?

    Thank you!

    I just launched a free educational resource for the public to educate themselves on blockchain. Looking for feedback.

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 02:14 PM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I'm putting together a free educational resources for anyone to educate themselves on the topic of blockchain. The idea is to have a Q&A site that allows anyone to post questions, submit answers and vote on the questions and answers. The topics will be about anything related to blockchain, ethereum, bitcoin, etc.

    The site is blockqna.com. Would love to hear any feedback you might have.

    Thanks,

    Bijan

    Reddit April Fools Day Button Dapp

    Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:52 AM PDT

    Hello All,

    Inspired by reddit's April Fool's Day "button" project, I created a similar concept for Ethereum. Pay a fee to press a button. This starts a timer, and if the timer runs out before anyone else has pressed the button, you get the pot :)

    There are a few other rules:

    - Each time you press the button, the countdown until you win will decrease

    - You can't press the button again until after a cooloff time

    - First time you press the button, you need to pay a small percentage of the total pot.

    I released a "single" button a couple months ago, but wanted to extend it so that anyone can create their own button with different button parameters (different press fees, different countdowns, etc).

    Let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas to improve this. Requires metamask.
