"In 2017, the project was purchased by the cryptocurrency company CanYa, and in 2020 it was sold to The Blockchain Group."

Does the article need to say more?


or you can criticize individual companies in the blockchain space, like this article does about the founders of the blockchain group

the government knows how to, but that’s why we have representatives, founding fathers figured the masses weren’t smart enough

but you can prove them wrong, I believe in you


What are the legit block chain companies?


you're not willing to discuss a company changing its terms of service to take unclaimed bounties solely for the enrichment of the two founders, because you think the sector itself isn't worth your thought?

that's a "you" problem, and contributing to the problem you perceive, if people feel like they won't be individually criticized if they pivot to that sector.

another way to think about it is if we paraded the behavior of every incorporated business around as international news - like we do for the crypto space - you would be asking if there were any legit businesses anywhere. its a representation problem.

staying on topic: most blockchain companies do not change their terms of service to take unclaimed bounties solely for the enrichment of their founders. most are not in the business of bounties and that has nothing to do with whether you would find them "legit" or not.


so you can't name any?


there are plenty of blockchain organizations I find legit, typically the people asking these questions are looking for a fictional use case they never imagined of which they are the target audience, and view not being the audience as invalidating everyone else that is. its an impossible standard to entertain, its not interesting to watch the goalposts move of them debating why its not useful to them, instead of legit, instead of asking why other people find it useful and then catering to whatever frictions they currently encounter….. like every competitive market does


I'm asking out of curiosity, probably just like the other guy. If you know a few Blockchain organizations, which you find legit, you could have just listed them.


Uniswap

Quickswap

Many other organizations surrounding forks of Uniswap V2 they deployed on other EVMs

Coinbase

Fidelity

Blackrock

Metamask

Phantom

Thirdweb

OpenZeppelin

Multicoin

Hardhat

Paradigm and their support of Foundry

Avalanche Labs

WAGMI

BuildBear

Solana Labs

Messari

Elliptic

Chainanalysis

Custodia bank

There are many charts of segments the ecosystem.

I would say many of the labs+foundation organizations are functioning in a noneventful fine way around their protocols. Other bounty systems are functioning fine noneventfully. Research firms as well. Private equity and hedge funds. Other institutional financial firms. Teams maintaining battle tested protocols.

Its just such a bizarre question to me, with my lack of answer being seen as an indictment validating everyone else's own…. ignorance? Whats the standard for legit? This is an article about changing a terms of service unscrupulously. Most tech companies that are respected have granted themselves the right to do that, and we debate that specific company’s policy and their leadership as individuals. “Legit” would be seen as a juvenile question towards those companies as they do 100 different things, some well, some controversial.

Most of those above organizations are employers, some of the ones with tokens compensate comparatively to FAANGs or way higher if the token grants appreciated in value. They have good relationships with all their stakeholders and their mission or products for their community.

Hope it inspires other people to ask a more intelligent question at the same standard they do of other industries.


If you buy into crypto in the first place, Coinbase, Alchemy, and Edge and Node come to mind, as well as the Solana Foundation and Solana Labs, also the Ethereum Foundation.


Scame plug is dead dead - how is NACS ccs type 3. The whole point is that it's is NOT ccs type 3 - which is actually largely dead everywhere anyways


It's the third plug that CCS uses. The whole point of NACS is that it is CCS.

It's going to be easy for everyone to support it because they support CCS already. Charger manufacturers like that. Charging networks like that. Car manufacturers like that.

All they're changing is the plug.


Even worse - isps give different prefix lengths - I am curious how you are running npt -i spent WAY too long trying to get basic ipv6 failover working - what vendor / etc. Ipv4 failover is basically flawless and internal network doesn't renumber as routes flap


OpenWrt. It does require a custom script. See https://forum.openwrt.org/t/npt6-as-a-core-feature/146399


I'm in the bay area and literally nothing they've designed around here is going 220mph unless they a going to be banking the tracks 40 degrees and doing a TON of ground breaking engineering around safety to run at 220 mph safely while sharing with Caltrain and other users.


Sugar is listed as an ingredient at least in India


This is really not true. Googles security posture is much more modern.

Microsoft had its signing key taken by the Chinese. That simply shouldn't be possible. They have repeatedly had breaches and in some cases comically bad holes in azure / email products / internal corporate products etc etc


A lot to this - marriage with no kids. Kids flips this though - you want to be done with the bigger push at that point


This top engineering professor had two kids in grad school and a third one during his first tenure track job.

His theory is that wife and kids out a gun to his head that he had to learn to swim and quick


They absolutely do at least in CA starting in kindergarten


Discussion of gender seems to be pretty in-line with kindergarten education from what I remember 20 years ago. Hell, we even "voted" in the 1996 presidential election (I voted for the most attractive person, Bill Clinton).


Is it really dying? At least on apples App Store it and temu are the top apps still being downloaded


But isn’t the Java version unrolling loops? This seems like some effort on the Java side.


The fast Java version is using all the same optimizations as this Go version and then some. It's significantly more complicated.
