Just loaned (and borrowed) some $ETH using @DharmaProtocol Lever's alpha product. Very cool experience. Some quick thoughts:
All I had to do was specify the amount and the address I want to redeem to. I then sent the funds to the address Dharma provided.
Firing up @metamask_io and applying an average level of gas for the transaction confirmed it in 30 seconds etherscan.io/tx/0x63a07aa86…
Bingo. Way easier than the last crypto lending experience with @MakerDAO when I collateralized ETH to WETH to PETH for a CDP that gave me DAI. Of course I'm on the other side of the transaction here.
I love what @MakerDAO is doing by the way and was obsessed with the successful liquidation cascade we saw as the price of ETH plummeted in 2018. Impressive.
Back to Dharma: I'm not sure how interest rates are set. 0.1% APR is not that interesting for actual returns. But I assume this is a starting point (alpha) and it will adjust to the supply and demand for crypto capital over time
.@AriDavidPaul had a great thread on crypto lending today too:
Huge thanks to @bpforster24 for including me in the alpha! No doubt this team will do big things.
Then for kicks I borrowed ETH against some DAI that I created in a MakerDAO CDP long ago (collateralized against ETH of course). How meta.
Again. Super easy. 30 seconds to configure, send DAI via metamask, and confirm on the @ethereum network.
Now I'm lending .25 ETH and also borrowing .25 ETH (maybe from myself) collateralized by 52 DAI (150% collateral). Here's me sending the DAI etherscan.io/tx/0xc9dc9092d…
And receiving my .25 ETH loan just a minute later. etherscan.io/tx/0x807d5e261…
Looks like I'll get margin called if ETH rises to $166.5 and my collateral drops to 120% (the contrast of stablecoin collateral).
Oh and I did all this on my laptop in Chrome with Metamask. Would have loved to use @CipherBrowser on iOS instead, but it couldn't render the mobile site well enough.

Compiled vanitygen on my Raspberry Pi to generate myself an LTC address: LScottJCSQXkTJ4KRwZZkbC1HCSvN21e4H. It took ten minutes using 2 cores at 35,000 keys/second.
I tried creating a similar BTC vanity address, but the estimated time was 3.5 days. ARM v7 has 4 tiny cores and RPI has no GPU.
So I turned to @awscloud EC2's spot market and followed instructions by @0daywork 0day.work/using-an-aws-g…

Very predictable statement
End of Feb is new deadline - Sharm el-Sheikh will be very important
Is adding to withdrawal agreement reopening it? @MargSchinas declines to specify or rule out. Is May's mission for legally binding change still satisfied by the Ceta option (as it was was in Dec)? Next 3 weeks will tell us. Door open for felines to fade in political declaration
It is significant that Barnier is leading EU team in talks that look like negotiations to me. Previous contacts over assurances in Nov, Dec and Jan in loved Robbins, Selmayr (for EC) and Serafin for Tusk

Quick thoughts on immigration white paper. Whatever you think of policy - it’s probably one of/the best Brexit white paper in terms of detail/supporting analysis, it swerves a couple of very very tricky or very very political issues
The white paper dodges the question of net migration target (as Sajid Javid tried to on the radio) by not mentioning it but cross referring to the Conservative Party manifesto… which does have 100,000 target.
It also dodges what happens after March 2019 if there is no deal? DExEU have said what happens to citizens already in UK, nothing yet from govt on EU citizens arriving after Mar19

Have I researched JFK Jr being alive? Yes. Started the Fusca search.

I’ve also researched flat earth, hollow earth, comb earth, no earth, round earth. Ive researched everything I could find. Thats why I say at the end I believe NOTHING. ZERO. All there is, is faith.

#Thoughts
If I could give advice to anyone in the search of truth. Don’t be hungry, don’t be desperate, don’t get attached. Be will to alter your perception of reality. Reality is perception. Glass full or half full? Nothing is as it seems.

Have faith. Find peace, Find love

#Thoughts
If you want to look in the right place than this place they call Antartica and they create the image of it. hides the last truths on earth.

God Bless.

1/ Should we be that surprised with what's going on right now with #ETH and ICOs generally? This is what happens when you have $10B+ raised via ICOs in the last 12 months, no treasury management, no product (or users), and liquid/publicly traded market caps and "shares" (tokens).
2/ #crypto is great for the digital world, but for now (and some time), teams and their employees need fiat to pay for real, non-digital things like rent, food, services, transportation, etc.
3/ I expect this decline to last for another 3-6 months as a growing pipeline of teams both (A) have their non-fiat runways cut by 60-80%, which, if they raised enough for 2 years, is now only 4-9 months, and (B) need to extend their fiat runways by another 12-24 months to ship.

I was wrong about the #ETH price two years ago, because I saw this, and other weaknesses, in its very design. It simply doesn't work.

Marketing false claims is getting harder to maintain.
We've seen a slow shift in #Ethereum's marketing strategy.

World computer -> unstoppable code -> rich statefulness -> ICO platform -> dapp platform -> etc.

Now it's, "ethereum has the most devs" or "solutions will be found to its problems, because it has the most developers."
It doesn't matter the quantity of devs you throw at the problem, as some over-exposed $ETH hedge funds will tell you (especially if the "blockchain devs" can't launch their little pet products).

It's *quality* over quantity, on a basic design that works.

Quick Thoughts on the MYE OIG Report...

#IGReport
#UnredactedIGreport
As readers of this account are aware, I struggle with brevity which makes me Twitterly-challenged. So me saying I'm going to give "quick thoughts" on a 500+ page monster of a report is hilarious - but I'm going to try!
My original plan was to wait until the weekend to make any real statement about the report - just to allow myself time to absorb it rather than rushing twitter with my first impressions...

But since all of Twitter seems to look like this right now...
