After doing exhausting research on crypto for about 20 minutes and losing interest to cat videos I can say confidently stay away from it … #cypto#adhd#nfts#interwebs#web3#advice
#Web3#Gama#NFTs#Videogames: "The problem is that it appears that GAMA holders, and anyone who took significant interest in GAMA and the things that Lyu promised — a comic, a television show, a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, a physical store to educate people on Web3 and NFTs, a rocket ship with a satellite — were left in the lurch. Less than a year before the Rabbit R1 launched, Lyu was discussing integrating AI into a completely different product, and people believed that he was sincerely focused on creating all the things he’d promised to in GAMA and the Gamaverse.
Lyu has framed his time at GAMA as a project, using language that suggests an arms-reach approach to a company he ran and made numerous gratuitous promises in the name of. The reality is that Jesse Lyu was the CEO of GAMA, invested, based on statements from Aaron Li, “7 figures” of his own money, and then after September 2023 (a month before Rabbit announced its first $20 million fundraising) effectively stopped talking about it, and acted from then on as if GAMA never existed in interviews with the press.
One other completely unrelated part of the story that I have been unable to dig into sufficiently is RCT Studio, a company that raised $10 million in 2019 according to a Form D filing (signed by Lyu), with Lyu named as CEO according to a 2020 piece from the Los Angeles Business Journal."

In the recently resurfaced debate about #solarpunk (or lunarpunk) aspects of #web3 and #blockchain I'm intrigued by one aspect:
Why do we accept being given a solution without outlining the problem in the first place?
Why don't we listen to #DAO pitches instead of asking ourselves how we want to run our communities, how do we want to make decisions, vote, discuss things?
Just stating the problem first would make it very clear that there are multiple technical solutions, not just the Web3.
And for every. single. argument. for Blockchains, DAOs, Web3, there is another open source tool that does the same thing, but better, less energy-intensely, with more fine-tuning for your own needs.
You can dive into IPFS, DAT, Scuttlebutt, Git and GitTorrent, dozens and dozens protocols which can solve your problems.
But none of them come in a sleek, well-marketed package of "solving all of your problems" only a scammer can offer you.
If I could ask the #solarpunk community for one thing regarding the web3, blockchains and DAOs, it will be:
Do not treat them like a technology you just dont understand.
Treat them like a way of thinking which dismisses your and your organization's needs and gives you a sleek solution, asking not to ask too many questions.
Because that's what web3 is: the culture of techno-solutionism, of abandoning hard questions about humanity and community organization.
Does anyone here have experience with #farcaster / #warpcast of #LensProtocol / #orb ?
Is it interesting over there?
Can you delete posts and is only your identity on the blockchain, or how does that work?
The first company to announce a handheld gaming PC that will run the Linux-based Playtron operating system is blockchain company Mysten labs, which is positioning the SuiPlay0X1 as a Web3-enabled handheld set to launch in 2025. https://buff.ly/4akGGpb#Web3#Blockchain#Playtron#HandheldGamingPC#SuiPlay0X1

You could, and back in 2018 I demonstrated this.
I built a JavaScript library that could adapt standard Solid apps to use an earlier version of Autonomi as its backend. There is an online presentation of this. That was when it was called Safe Network which you may already know.
Today I have rediscovered playing music from a set of my own curated purchase, rather than from an algorithm of recommendations. My musical tastes are much more varied than the algorithm would suggest! #ai#algorithm#web3#streaming
A collection of Web3 Quotes, that I assembled over time (since 2020 or so), mainly from cryptoskeptics of course, but there might be a few from crytobros or Bitcoin maximalists, marked with 🤡, as sarcasm… if I find any worth of being published.

I unfortunately sometimes lose the source/origin (have so many now on various subjects). Thanks for pointing me to your post.
@cybeardjm I haven't really collected these all in one place, but here are a few of the other crypto-related designs I've made. Not sure any of them fit in that post, but I thought I'd share them in case you were interested in seeing them.
