Happy to keep using kbin, but I think we need a longer discussion of where we want to community to be based. Personally the value I get from The Daily community is more important than where it is located. Hopefully over the next few weeks we can continue the transition from Reddit, but not if doing so means we splinter EthFinance.

That's clever, yea I like that idea.

An incredibly simple example of how to mislead by omission...

A Tweet by Stuart Alderoty, Chief Legal Officer at Ripple.

10/ On June 4, Hinman wrote that he didn’t see a “need to regulate ETH as a security” and would call Buterin later that week to confirm “our understanding.”

Emphasis is added by me, because that section is one of the things causing the XRP bagholders to tweet about '#ETHGate'.

It is clearly written to imply a shady agreement between Hinman and Buterin. However, in context the quote from the e-mail reads:

We also have a call with Buterin later this week to confirm our understanding of how the Ethereum Foundation operates.

So what this bellend is insinuating indicates some dodgy deal, is actually just a reference to a call checking some information.

I really do hate the way spreading disinfo is seen as a perfectly acceptable tactic by assholes to get what they want. If you don't strive for truth then you do not deserve to have people listen to you, but so many people don't really want truth, they just want feel special for knowing about a conspiracy and to believe things that will pump their bags.

GM Ethfam, glad a few of us have found our way over here already.

This is one of the most wildly convoluted/sophisticated example of a crypto scam that I've seen:

https://twitter.com/MrMMarsh/status/1668183547574624257

Fake death leads to fake obituary in fake newspaper, describing a fake interview which mentioned the fake 'crypto platform' that the scammers are trying to get you to connect to.

How come we never get anything that interesting from the scammers that target EthFinance? All we have is boring fake airdrops spam. Lazy.

Did we buy them or did we get them free for holding EVMs and just have to pay gas...? I don't quite remember. Anyway I think the purpose of them is as an unlock for the premium features of Autominter (stuff like bulk airdrops and custom prices for different whitelists), so if you want to do an NFT project like the Pandas or Owls or whatever then they are probably pretty useful, but if you never intend to do anything like that then I'm not sure they have much reason to be valuable.

I think Ethereum is rather nice.
