i have set my affair on nothing. eng @commonwarexyz | prev @polkadot @paritytech

@sorpaas Yes I noticed that, still my question is very relevant to assess these results.

[André Silva @andrebeat]

I've had a lot of fun contributing to @commonwarexyz over the past few months, and it turns out if you keep sending PRs long enough, they eventually want to hire you 😅 Excited to be joining the team!

@vaxryy Should I stop my monthly donation on Ko-fi, or will this use that as well?

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@vaxryy I'm gonna have to say it brother... nixos solves this.

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@tomoglava @toghrulmaharram @patcito @malik672_ Better based on what metric? If you do the delegation as part of the protocol you can enforce some rules wrt stake assignment (for example, what Polkadot does https://t.co/MmPwX3g7TE).

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@bkchr Framing this as "picking winners" is disingenuous, it's more "rewarding winners". The same logic prevented us from shipping Polkadot with smart contracts (iirc Astar was very loudly against this), and yet four years later we came around to it.

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@HSVSphere What do you mean "that far back", they literally started time.

[André Silva @andrebeat]

$1.4B and counting.

[André Silva @andrebeat]

It's 2023 and people are still blind signing because no effort was put into solving this problem. These problems will keep happening, not on Polkadot though.

@kianenigma I don't see the difference according to his own definition. He conveniently stopped replying. Many such cases. https://t.co/brA7dAm6LE

[c-node @colludingnode]

@kianenigma @csaint02 @ellipsis_labs @Polkadot a blockchain who's state is computed as a function of the data in the blocks of another chain

@crowd_punk @wearetalisman @chris_mbh @MarkoBaricevic_ @CelestiaOrg @Polkadot @Jskybowen @NovaWalletApp @subwalletapp @AstarNetwork Have a look at https://t.co/2ONhczdHrl. Personally my favorite polkadot wallet is Nova, but it is mobile only. I haven't tried most of the others wallets though.

[André Silva @andrebeat]

The Ethereum ecosystem is pretty much unusable on the browser unless you use Chrome (or its derivatives) and Metamask.

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@NovaWalletApp @AntonTheDay7 I'd pay to be able to have alerts on more than 3 accounts. Maybe more users would be willing to pay for some premium features 🤔

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@davesnx Also you pay the heavy price of slow compilation and don't get the benefit of performance compared to other native alternatives (again maybe this has improved).

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@davesnx Type system is very powerful and by extension too complex. A lot of the ecosystem libraries are over engineered (related to previous point). Haven't looked at Scala in the past 6 years ago though, but used it professionally for 7 years before that, maybe it has improved.

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@gadikian @itsbirdo_ @niftesty What do you mean by full finality? Finality and block production are separated, unlike in Cosmos. This favors liveness, at the cost of finality lagging by a couple of blocks from head (usually 2).

@bkchr @Polkadot 💦

@Justin_Bons @Tur1ngM4ch1n3 @0xgoku_ Here's a recent talk on this subject: https://t.co/tP85vhx1RG

[André Silva @andrebeat]

@Justin_Bons @Tur1ngM4ch1n3 @0xgoku_ The main implementation of the relay chain is using the same framework as the parachains do (i.e. Substrate). So these limits apply to either.
