@gross_bit Yes, I'm happy to explain: what you're seeing is a feature, and further, the behavior you want is also supported. Chains where the addresses never change are disasters from a privacy standpoint. Avalanche is protecting your privacy here. Let's delve further >>
@gross_bit Suppose that the wallet just gave you a single, static address. Imagine now that we go to dinner, you pay, and I need to send you my half of the bill. I get to discover your address, *I get to know exactly how much you have* and *I get to watch all your future transactions*. >>
@gross_bit To avoid this, the Avalanche wallet gives you a new address as you use old addresses. That way, you can receive some money from me, and some money from someone else, without us being able to see each other's activities. >>
@gross_bit The fact that the wallet gives you new addresses does NOT mean that the old ones are "used up" or "unusable."

All of your addresses are derived from a single common secret.

They are all simultaneously active. So you can use and reuse an address that you had in the past.
@gross_bit So you can whitelist one address and continue to use it.

This same behavior is also found in Bitcoin wallets.

Hope this helps. Feel free to direct questions to our reddit or discord in the future, people will respond faster and more reliably there than here.

It seems essential that NFTs, being fashion and conspicuous consumption goods, lose, and in fact need to lose, their coolness factor over time. The same way we can't buy a wardrobe once and be cool forever, we'll need new hip avatars regularly.
Every item, from paintings to clothing to NFTs, experiences some decay in hipness over time.

Let lambda be the time it takes for some item to go from its maximum coolness to half its coolness. Think of it as the half life of cultural coolness.
So, if lambda for some thing is 1 year, that thing is half as cool in a year. In 6 years, it loses 98% of its coolness, starts looking like your grandfather's wristwatch.

You may have heard of Major League Baseball.

You may have heard of baseball trading cards. Now they are NFTs.

Guess where they are launching.

“Remember these two things: play hard and have fun." Wise words from baseball icon Tony Gwynn, and the mentality we remind ourselves of everyday.

Between $3m rocks and $12k for an invisible rock, everyone is saying that we've reached "peak NFT" today, and that we will only go down from here. I beg to differ.

>>
NFTs are going to be with us for a long time to come. We have not yet seen the traditionally collectible content (e.g. Major League Baseball, soccer, etc) in digital form. We have not seen any viral NFT-based games. Nor have we seen any good NFT applications. >>
Most importantly, NFT-related tools are abysmal and the NFT ownership experience is pretty rough right now. The current NFT experience is simply a copy of the old playing card experience, with a lot of extra steps.

And yet, there's insane interest in NFTs!

1/ Yesterday, the #Avalanche Foundation announced the biggest #DeFi incentive program to date. This will catalyze the next phase of hyper-growth that I’ve been personally looking forward to since launching Avalanche mainnet last year.
2/ All facets of the DeFi ecosystem need to co-exist and collaborate to create a functioning and widely adopted digital financial system: automated market makers (AMMs), DEXs, borrowing and lending protocols, insurance protocols, and the list goes on.
3/ It’s crucial to have all DeFi primitives working and communicating with each other flawlessly. DeFi users also need a seamless experience to participate in the ecosystem.

1/ It's time for another #FreeLoveFriday! Today, I’ll be covering the second big wave of #NFT projects on the innovative $AVAX platform.

2/ In March we saw the first boom of $AVAX NFTs with projects like @cryptoseals, @southpolesanta1, @lamasticards, and @cubetarium launching as Avalanche-exclusive NFT projects, capturing the imagination of the community (myself included) and selling assets in excess of $500k-$1m.
3/ Right after these launches, @snowflakeavax & @unifty_io created marketplaces for these assets to be more easily discovered, listed, and traded between users.

1/ Back with another #FreeLoveFriday. Yes, yes. I know it’s Monday, but @iomarkr is worthy of breaking the Friday-only rule.

2/ DeFi on @AvalancheAVAX is growing rapidly. New users, assets, and applications are joining the community rapidly to tap into the vibrant $AVAX DeFi ecosystem.

3/ That growth is despite a bridge that has had many issues for users. An upcoming, first-of-its-kind bridge is a lot faster and 5X cheaper, and will open the floodgates for liquidity to flow into Avalanche.
