Yea gift cards were always temporary stop gaps ...not a real long term solution.

Arguably all white market transactions are too

τέχνη 1y ago

Yeah. Someone was trying to tell me how Monero has a circular economy. Ugh sorry but no. People are buying gift cards only because they CANT cash out 😭

Can I see the "algorithmic" one please. I'm interested in the algorithm.

Are you running a business? Do you have skills you are selling? Do you plan ahead financially?

If yes you care about stability, up or down either way.

τέχνη 1y ago

I think businesses usually diversify their holdings regardless of what they use to transact right? But yeah I agree they would want to “cash out” a lot of crypto that they get. That’s why liquidity in the on/off ramps are essential. It’s the death knell of Monero sadly.

They're only as stable as the pegged currency. Like USD which could do better in terms of stability -- past, present and future -- as we all know. Show me one that's more stable and I'll drop my dollars instantly.

τέχνη 1y ago

I think they’re usually pegged to USD as a common reference point that people understand. But it can theoretically be pegged to anything if it’s done algorithmically. I’m just saying, we have these things and that is not the issue. I think the technology still remains the limiting factor. The UX is worse than fiat in the worst ways.

Monero shills be like “we buy more gift cards than bitcoiners!!!”

Yeah because you have no liquidity 😂

I only bring up stable coins because you mentioned that the primary issue was being able to stabilize the price, right? I personally don’t need a stable coin. I’m fine with just being more frugal if the coin has less inflation than, say, gold.

τέχνη 1y ago

Btw, I said “differing means of various effectiveness” because they’re not all just pegged to an existing currency. You can have a stable coin that is just algorithmically stable to an arbitrary price even. I’m just saying, that is not the issue either.

Replying to

frphank

Yes the stablecoins are pegged to some currency like USD. They're not their own currency. Why bother using them then when you can just use the original currency they're pegged to.

All else being the same the tech does matter, that's true, but the ambition of cryptocurrencies is (was?) not to be the same, so don't come arguing with stablecoins.

One of the coolest and creepiest questions for LLM research is how many prompts the LLM takes to figure out exactly who the user is.

Most LLMs can already identify the user's gender, age range, education, and socio-economic status from prompts alone and reply accordingly. Current accuracy is about 80% after 6 prompts.

More interestingly, how should the LLM reply if it wants to trigger the user into revealing who they are so that the LLM can answer questions more precisely.

It's not the tech, security, employee training or taxes. It's that prices aren't stable because no cryptocurrency has a mechanism to adjust the supply of money in accordance with goods and services offered in the economy.

τέχνη 1y ago

Eh, I disagree with that. Because there are plenty of stable coins (through various means of differing effectiveness). But despite the stability, the technology makes it worse than cash in every conceivable way.

There is something interesting in farcaster frames and the new solana blinks which makes crating microapps easy. I think we’re missing this in Nostr. Right now we have good tooling for full apps, and “medium” apps like listr.lol but not a microapp which is smaller. Think an app which exists within / for a single event kind. A good example is say a poll event kind where you could have a microapp which let people vote (publish a reply event), see results (aggregate and display all replies), propose a change to the poll options (edit/version the original event), etc…. There could me a kind of directory do poll microapp providers for each event kind / type of microapp. Or some nostr apps could hard code their own provider. If there is one directory it should be easy to run an alt so we don’t have a single point of centralization.

Seems like there was more merchant adoption in 2013 than there is now. Bitcoin has gone backwards

Replying to

Joda

You could if anyone accepted lightning. But the fact is you couldn't do that with BCH, Monero, or anything else, either. There isn't "zero adoption" -- there's "zero merchant acceptance", because accepting ANY crypto is a pain in the ass (the tech, the security, the employee training, the taxes...)

Bootstrapping circular economies is HARD, especially when the current system is "good enough".

τέχνη 1y ago

Lightning has a lot more issues than just merchant adoption.

I’m not even a Monero shill, but it’s pretty funny when even layer 2 Bitcoin isn’t as functional as layer 1 Monero. Maybe layer 3 can compete with it though

Bitcoin has zero adoption because Layer 1 is unusable. No privacy, dust everywhere (bitcoiners are arbitrary luddites that never accept improvements).

The “circular economy” will never happen on Layer 2 because it’s byzantine, ruggable, and just sucks compared to fiat.

If “means of exchange” never happens, “store of value” never happens either. nostr:note1zz66938nr8eawfnncwyvpfz0yy222469fc7gk992gu8dtvx3ydzq9ay7ev
