    Ethereum Breakout Begins! Why!? (Hint) It’s Not DeFi or Staking!

    Vitalik asks: If UniSwap added a 0.1% fee that would go directly to the Uniswap development team, would this change your willingness to provide free marketing/labor to them?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:33 PM PST

    Vitalik tweeted:

    If @UniswapExchange added to their next version a 0.1% fee that would go directly to the Uniswap development team, would this _______ your willingness to provide free marketing/labor to Uniswap?

    There's 8 hours left in the poll and the current results are:

    • Increase [willingness]: 16.6%
    • No change / unsure: 24.7%
    • Decrease [willingness]: 25.4%
    • Show results: 33.3%

    Edit: Alongside that initial poll, he polled a similar question with a different variable:

    If @UniswapExchange added to their next version a 0.1% fee that would go into the Gitcoin Grants quadratic funding matching pot, would this _______ your willingness to provide free marketing/labor to Uniswap?

    There are 7 hours left on this poll, but at the time of writing, the results are:

    • Increase [willingness]: 22.1%
    • No change / unsure: 22%
    • Decrease [willingness]: 19.6%
    • Show results: 36.2%

    Note: These replies are to the first poll, not the second

    Spencer Noon wants to experiment a bit:

    I'd like to see fee experimentation since we need to find ways to make dec. infrastructure like Uniswap sustainable long-term, but I would also like to see its economic community compensated as well. Broad incentive alignment > narrow incentive alignment (in a vacuum at least).

    Julien Bouteloup thinks its a bad idea:

    I think it's a bad decision & will give an extra reason for users to shift to competitive alternatives such as @CurveFinance or @1inchExchange @paraswap etc.

    Imagine $100M for Uniswap this year (=success). 0.1% fee is $100k net profit which is very low.

    Loi Luu posed a question:

    dont you think people would just fork uniswap and deploy a version without the 0.1% fee?

    Kevin Owocki proposed a middle ground:

    given the majority of the pollees said "decrease"... i think its worth considering making the uniswap fee optional (but the default).. that considerably changes the psycology

    If you're not sure or need more information, How I Stumbled Upon The Internet's Biggest Blind Spot by Nadia Eghbal is a good primer on open source and funding.

    Additionally, Kevin Owocki published Funding Open Source In The Blockchain Era, which provides a lot of good thought.

    Another great piece: Funding Minimally Extractive Protocols by Stephen Young


    The more interesting discussion is obviously in a light larger than just Uniswap. If we want free, open source, low-level platforms to be sustainable, they need money. However, if there is a fear of these open source platforms being forked and that fear prevents monetization, what do we do? This is the age-old public goods conversation but looking at it specifically with a highly used, muched lived, much relied upon platform like Uniswap makes it all the more real.

    What do you think free, open source platforms should do? How should they take their desire for a sustainable life or business and put against the reality that people don't want to pay fees?

    Eric Wall on Ethereum: " From what I can tell, [ZK-Sync] is what sidechains were supposed to be, but better: offchain, trust-minimized, scalable, final..... I actually think Ethereum should scrap sharding and focus on these types of solutions instead."

    How important are the optional fields for ERC-20 tokens?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:44 PM PST

    I.e. name, symbol, decimal. My understanding is that these are just used by some wallet software to make it easier to understand what you hold on the frontend? Or is there any other purpose to them

    ETH 2.0 lock period

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:25 PM PST

    What is everyone's thoughts on the 180 day lock in period on the POS?? Doesn't that combined with the 32 ETH minimum lead to some serious centralization concerns? Most normal people can't lock up money for that long so many people will use exchanges exclusively. Just some initial thoughts, would love to hear everyone's opinion.

    Still missing password to presale tokens

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:08 AM PST

    I'm an idiot. I lost my presale password. Oh I have some idea what it was, but have tried thousands of combinations to no avail. I've tried the python tool. Any other tools for recovering presale tokens?
