@signulll I see sam’s post and just think “damn the anthropic commercials must be great”

adding myself as a write-in candidate. like this tweet if you think @MrBeast should give me $10k, which i will put towards a home in a walkable neighborhood

Every year, we get closer and closer to a true “Egg Computer”.

We’ve already made:
- Egg Transistors
- Egg Resistive Memories
- Egg Supercapacitor electrodes

Albumin is a hilariously good organic semiconductor material.

@dhrubabasu @santiagoroel Fees are priced in network capacity/demand, not token $. If a token goes up, but slot/block space stays same, you need less token for a txn.
Ethereum 1 year ago: avg txn fee $1.8, eth $2,650. Today: avg txn $0.45, eth $4,150.
Volatility spikes happen, but overall not connected.

@DeFi_Dad @grok is this true

Just to name some technical things about ETH re: "trust assumptions are similiar" (ETH L1 vs SOL) in post below.

No, they're not.

- ETH has 5 execution / consensus clients with no supermajority client (SOL has 90% Agave and 10% Frankendancer, only with Firedancer true redundancy will come). So only ETH 100% liveness guarantees, chain keeps on chugging.

- ETH has slashing ensuring all validators behave correctly. SOL is currently still working on slashing, no clear timeline when it goes mainnet (end 2025 planned to ship some parts).

- ETH biggest dev & tooling ecosystem, making upgrades etc. highly secure. All upgrades (EIP 1559, Merge etc.) went without any problems.

- ETH running 10yrs+ in the wild, highly mature and resilient. Combine that with all the complex upgrades shipped and you get a guess how professional the chain operates

- ETH has ~9k validators and ~20k nodes running the network, ~40% of nodes run from home. Making the network highly secure, resilient and reliable. SOL way higher node requirements.

Surely some more aspects but think this makes clear that ETH L1 and SOL has completely different trust assumptions.

Because of that Wall Street (Blackrock, Deutsche Bank, Robinhood etc.) has decided to build on the only state level secure chain ready for institutional adoption.

Ethereum.

This has been covered: peperium uses the Curio Cards contract, not the other way around. We shared it with them - our goal was to foster cooperation, not win races. I still stand by that. Curio was also the only one to publicly release in 2017, hence “show”, as in exhibited/seen/purchasable.

@joeroganhq For anyone interested, @joerogan hasn't actually read that article, the graph he's brought up (SIX TIMES) says the opposite of what he thinks it says: https://t.co/SmlTUkqVb4

@elder_plinius @grok is this true?
