    Yeah, I'm curious as shit about it, too. Currently having problems with Truebit on Ethereum mainnet, but I think it might be because geth is running in lightmode so I'm syncing up a full geth node right now to see.

    I don't think I've made any bold predictions for July? Just that we're pretty sure Optimism uses Truebit and that it's supposedly rolling out in July with Uniswap support. No idea what the price action is for this token in the short term, but it's pretty obvious the deeper I dig that this is...

    Governance isn't a use case as it doesn't burn, lock, or incentivize holding the token.

    I have small bag of Uniswap, so I've been following it for a few months now. If you look at the WETH/UNI pool on dextools.io, you'll see that it topped out at 0.02 in late March, and is currently at 0.01. I can't read the tea leaves as well as others, but the chart looks like it's rebounding...

    Arbitrum nodes are paid in LINK, so that's the token.

    All I know for sure is that unless a developer is specifically incentivized to build their application on top of MATIC, they're most likely going to build it on Ethereum. That said, it is an Indian development team, that might count for something.

    Daezuel is correct, EIP-1559 will affect coin price and UX of Ethereum (my bet is drastically on both), but not much in the way of transaction fees when the network is bogged down. My concerns with MATIC are that it's a sidechain using More Viable Plasma, meaning it loses the composability and...

    I dunno, I feel like most companies won't be that fragile on BTC price. No way they didn't expect the price to drop way back down when they bought into it.

    Hold MATIC until a better L2 solution hits the scene that you like, and then transfer your MATIC bag to it, imo.

    On the power draws, I doubt it impacts much running as a container inside your Windows machine, but I'll keep an eye on the power bill I guess. I don't think 100% uptime is necessary, like if the power goes out you aren't going to be penalized for it, but I'm not sure why you'd shoot for...

    Yeah, I believe it's CPU dependent because that would just make sense to me, but I'm by no means certain about it. Still a lot to dig through in this GitHub repo.

    I have a Truebit Verifier running on the Ethereum mainnet right now -- having some problems registering an IPFS node, but otherwise it's functional. The process is pretty straight forward, though you may need to start over a few times to wrap your head around it. To get started right now, you...

    The arguments seem super weak, you need to have more faith in decentralization. He starts the article by saying that secret meetings involving industry stakeholders don't end up influencing Bitcoin development. It's not concerning in the slightest. What's wrong with this, exactly? How does...

    I'm honestly surprised that it's below the OS minting price and constantly expect it to get up to that point, but that doesn't seem to be happening without a substantial number of tasks running through the system which I'm expecting in July.

    It's both, really. Being a solver seems like it's the most involved out of the three roles in the Truebit system, which is why I'm angling for that one. I'm hoping that my early involvement in the system pays out similarly to my early involvement in Ethereum, but for the most part that's...

    This is my thought on it as well -- Chainlink would have been another one to get in on the ground floor with, but I missed that opportunity. So lesson learned on Chainlink, off-chain data oracles are extremely important, I'll bet off-chain computation markets are as well. Decentralized...

    Aye, it's a long term hold for me and I'm setting up a rig to be a solver. Jason Teutsch is almost as brilliant as Vitalik, I highly recommend finding out everything you can about the dude, and Sami is an extremely solid developer. It seems like the first real use case will be the Optimism...

    Why do you feel that Segwit increases the value of what Bitcoin provides over Dogecoin? There's a whole culture of programmers who think Segwit is a travesty, and it's still not fully adopted by the Bitcoin community four years later. Taproot isn't even out yet, let alone adopted, so I...

    At the moment, no, even the price has been terrible lately, but Vitalik suggested making it into a DeFi price oracle so maybe eventually: UNI should become an oracle token
