Asking reddits opinion on anything is like asking a bunch of dung beetles where to get the best filet mignon.

open-source blockchain with smart contract functionality great

Why would anyone give a flying fuck what the brainless maggots at retarddit think?

The finance subs are a lot different than the rest of reddit and they've made me money.

[–]Tophat123 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Maybe some finance subs. Sadly, of the ones I have seen, they still condemn the orange man, they still idolize biden, and only call for political neutrality when they get their asses handed to them. They were so quick to forget that the traitor intends to jack up the taxes on capital and crypto.

I would have said the best thing about the finance subs was how relatively politically neutral it is but a growing number of them are clamoring for representation on this forsaken month

Lowering the barrier to entry is a great way to introduce new people to the concept. That's all this is good for.

As cool as it is... it's just another bank. Transactions can be reversed. New coins can be instantly created without mining. Kind of defeats the whole idea of what cryptocurrency was intended to be: Outside the control of government.

It's the exact opposite of stuff like bitcoin and monero.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

Please educate me: HOW can new coins be instantly created without mining?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

This is not my area of expertise, but coins like Ethereum, BNB, and Algo are made to allow user created derivative cryptos on their blockchains. Mostly these are what are called "shit coins," worthless junk that will never be worth much.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

"shit coins"

New name: cow pies.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

A cowpie is good for something tho, here's just a few of the innumerable amount of shitcoin They have no real value.

HOW CAN I BUY ETHEREUM?

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (31 children)

You need a cryptocurrency exchange like Binance, Coinbase/Coinbase Pro, Gemini, Uphold, Kraken, or there's others. Then it's a simple transaction.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (28 children)

Which is your preference and why?

If different, what would you recommend to someone starting out with a new platform (ie. starting up new sites like Cassy and/or new video productions)?

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun -  (25 children)

I prefer Coinbase Pro for buying, it lets me do me do limit buys and sells, simple automation that can be very handy in a volatile market for snagging coins at dips or selling at highs without being there. I have 4 orders standing now, all waiting if particular coins drop to certain levels to snap them up.

And I like Coinbase regular for actually looking at the market history. They just charge way larger fees so I buy and sell on Pro You can transfer between the two instantly and for free so I use them in tandem. They have a wallet too that is also connected. And it's a large publicly traded company.

I use Gemini and Uphold because they have coins Coinbase does not, like VET and DOT, and I need them for transferring BAT tokens from Brave (just how Brave is setup).

Binance is very popular too but it's not legal to use in my area. Some people use VPNs to get around this.

GeminiUphold (maybe both) looks the most promising for linking into a forum, it has an api to allow 3rd party interactions. Interface is simple, which is a pro and con.

Where did everyone go? u/hennaojichan asked me but I just got back from camping so I dunno.

[–]hennaojichan 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (6 children)

Thanks. I am just a beginner at Crypto and am waiting for judgement day on gold and silver that i tell myself will be soon.

Question, Dinomuskiesaurus: if this travel ban is lifted anytime soon, would you mind if I stop by where you are for a few days so you can show me the good dispensary? We'd stay at a hotel and just be there for a few days. No supply over here at all and of course I wouldn't move it outside the States. We wouldn't be any bother. Just an idea.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

I love silver, it's so pretty. I don't own much but it's done terrific.

I'm in Texas, weed isn't legal here. I wouldn't know where to get it at all if it weren't for local highschool kids. Have you heard about delta 8? I just got a vape of it. It's legal and very similar to delta 9 thc.

I'd do my best to hook ya up if you're in the area, but I don't have great connections. What the dealers do here is drive to Colorado and pick up from the dispensaries here and smuggle it back. I have a cross country trip planned, we were going to hit up a few legal states to get high in.

There's also the dark web but I don't know shit about that.

[–]hennaojichan 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Sorry, I thought you were in another, legal, state. I know a guy in Houston so no prob. When will the US get it together and make all states the same?

Have vaped but never delta eight. Must try but again, not here. My usual is to go to Cambodia where they have not bothered to make IT illegal and good for them.

Be seeing you.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

No idea, the federal government would have to legalize. The failed war on drugs is worth big money though, there's a lot of vested interest and money in keeping it illegal.

The soonest would be 2024, if a candidate makes it an election issue, and the democrats may be desperate enough to do that to win.

[–]hennaojichan 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah, shiny stuff. I get along with people from Texas really well.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Maybe he's talking about kratom? Or getting ketamine from Mexico?

Silk Road was the best for price and quality and safety.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I know he means bud, I feel it in my soul.

I never messed with silk road or anything online.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (17 children)

Thanks for all that.

I was simply thinking of a central wallet for collecting donations, including possibly some less profit-driven ones like NameCoin and FileCoin. Unless someone offers obscure coins I won't be seeking them.

This relates to my recent Cassy post. Interested in helping re: accounting and management?

But now that you mention it, eventually having a network currency might be good if it can be transparent, simple, and not rigged (Steemit was problematic).

It was a holiday weekend, the weather is better - and/or SaidIt seems like it's dying. I wonder how much it was dying under the LXXX crap that artificially boosted the numbers and such. I wonder how much damage their drama did. I also wonder about my own role - and now without anything to show 2 months later, I also wonder about Larry. Perhaps he and M7 are just MIA moping around somewhere, or frolicking with young women in the sunshine - or maybe they're getting new orders from their CIA/Mossad bosses.

A couple decades ago for years I would camp this big weekend in Austin at Burning Flipside. I miss that stuff.

Just finished my reply. I didn't cover everything in one comment, there was a lot.

Oh yeah, even Reddit subs have their own cryptos like r/cryptocurrency has Moon and some fortnite forum has "bricks." The new reddit app is integrated with a wallet, which is awesome.

FileCoin

I have FileCoin... Its performance hasn't been stellar. I'd rather Lumens (pun intended) off the top of my head, or even BAT (the Brave browser token), although you can get a nice APY on FileCoin at the Gemini exchange.

Our trip was miserable. I got really mad at the kids for how they were behaving. They were acting like little shits.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

IFIFY: "They were acting like little worthless shit coins."

u/LarrySwinger2 is missing too? It's been almost a month since anyone saw m7, hope they're just busy with beaver.

We were hurting from the iron left, then the bans, then the outage, but this is a new level of quiet. I had one reply in 4 days. There's some new faces though too.

[–]LarrySwinger2 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

No, I'm here.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Ya, I suspect he finally got his dad's former professional server box and is installing his phpBB so he can be the next magnora7 - assuming anyone wants to learn a new non-Reddit-like forum interface (a big ask for many IMO).

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

You say that like it's a bad thing. What are we going to do during the next outage? I've used phpBB forums in the past, it's not a problem for me although I did mention on Sessions that it looks dated by default.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

It's not a bad thing. He went MIA, which was not good. PhpBB is not decentralized which is what it is.

Dated by comparison to what? I looked at phpBB and MyBB and others. Sadly there aren't any strong decentralized BB or forums. The best seem big and corporate (and likely compromised).

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Nobody said that was the final step, let's face it, this whole thing is not going to pop out of our asses like a beautiful golden egg, fully formed and valuable. We're going to have to divide and conquer, break it down into steps and stages.

Also decentralized can be achieved in other ways, like simply by letting users download the message base. That has a number of advantages to it too, like it's simple. Keep it Simple Stupid is a fantastic principle.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

For a mascot, what do you think of Simple Jack from Tropic Thunder but make it a chick and call her Simple Cassy. And yes, we should have it printed on t shirts and hats to generate some cash flow. There are sites that do that for you, if you were to say draw a simple image of simple cassy, not sure how horrendous their cuts are tho.

[–]LarrySwinger2 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

or frolicking with young women in the sunshine

Nope, you won't see that happening. I don't let myself get distracted like that. Anyway, I'm going to send you a PM.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

It's alive!!!

[–]LarrySwinger2 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I was the one waiting for a reply from you on Session. And I still post on this forum. But yeah, whatever.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I recommend restarting Session on your computer. It has had me hanging in the past, then I'd restart it and find that there had been activity for days without it coming up in my Session. I try to restart my Session at least once a day, just to be sure I'm not missing anything. After a restart I suspect you'll find the conversations Optimus and I have had over the last 5 days. We may also get whatever you've added over the last 6 days.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Correction here on one of my replies, Uphold is the exchange I was thinking of that's easy to link to stuff.

[–]LarrySwinger2 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I'm not familiar with the others so I can't comment either way, but I'm content with Kraken. They're reliable and provide a decent amount of currencies. They have good security too.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Kraken

Thank you doctor, that's the second opinion I was looking for.

I'll sign up post haste. Plus I can ask for help if something comes up.

Perhaps they may even have some kind of way to collaborate, and conveniently we'll all be on there.

[–]pravin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

which one is best according to you're experience.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I use multiple, they're good for different things and coins. Regular Coinbase has really high fees, I wouldn't use that alone but in tandem with the pro app is my fav. I can't use Binance but that's the most recommended one on r/cryptocurrency

Well did you see Biden driving that electric F150? I mean, it was a pretty impressive thing to witness but also cute and funny! Or so the entire press corps seemed to think. I mean who knew he could drive a car? He is just such an impressive man. /s
