@ADA_AFTER_DARK @DBCrypt0 On Solana, because txns are cheap, there's an incentive to spam txns with optimistic prices in case they succeed but most will fail as intended by the txns signer
@ADA_AFTER_DARK @DBCrypt0 Majority of the failed transactions are because of slippage. The swap transactions usually have a built in escape hatch to fail the transaction and not let the swap go through if the price is worse than originally intended
@sherryland_@Justin_Bons Should an auditor be paid even if the audit fails? Should a lottery ticket be refunded if you don't win the lottery? Failed transactions fail because of the business logic (eg slippage exceeded, insufficient funds, etc), but the transaction took up blockspace and compute
@MissEsqHire Accepting that offer would update your candidate's price to $85k, which would make it much harder to justify to their next biglaw interviewer why they're worth the higher salary. It's probably easier to explain a resume gap than why $85k was the best they could get.
@CryptoTaxSucks This is not entirely true. You can only carry $3k of excess capital loss from year to year after offsetting income. You can use far more than just 3k of losses to offset any gains from elsewhere.
@bgc400@deanrey3@ChainLinkGod Data gets pruned every epoch (every 2 days) by the validators. The 500GB you quote is for the indexing services that record every transaction that ever occurred. For that, you do need a lot of storage. To just validate, it's much more manageable.
