I wandered on the wrong feed again. Saw Richard Heart shittalk Do Kwon.
Lol Richard you made a revolving ponzi-scheme then survived by having people manually throw away the inflation by locking it all in the same account, willingly!
"CoinFabrik was asked to audit the contracts for the HEX project. In particular, we were asked to verify that longer stakes pay better than shorter re-compounding stakes."
That's ALL that the ENTIRE document discusses!
OFCOURSE LONGER COMPOUNDING STAKES PAY MORE THAN SHORTER ONES!
The longer you leave your money in the more it compounds. I can tell you that right now!
WHAT ABOUT INFLOWS! *WHERE* are the new dollars coming from to pay for 40% APY?!?! HOW is inflation kept under control!?
I'll tell you how: It's not.
Hell the audit only mentions the word inflation inside of formulas, in relation to the staking strategy. Doesn't describe one bit how it affects the ecosystem, where it goes, or how people aren't devalued.
Hint: They are being devalued.
And #HEX is yet another $22 BILLION market cap failure waiting to happen. Not as big as #LUNA but close.
Hell, just look at the fully diluted market cap VS current one to see the problem. That's alot of inflation that can't EVER be touched.
Alright gang, well, i told ya i would update ya through this process, and that includes the bad times.
I went to the patent agency, and they didn't want to help me patent my idea. One guy flat out refused to believe it works, the other was HIGHLY skeptical.
While i can't say anything about the conversation or invention due to secrecy demands, i can say one thing:
They're wrong. Dead wrong. The first guy was over-educated so he couldn't believe my explanation, and the (more experienced) second guy couldn't figure it out.
(i asked a second opinion); The second guy did ask the first guy about something, who gave the same answer, and it didn't seem right to no.2 - but he was too busy with work at the time.
The first one was too arrogant, the second one too busy. I fucking hate humans some times.
I'm sad to hear today about @CasPiancey being doxed by @ofnumbers. I hate bullies, so you know, since Tim wants to focus attention on who Cas is, lets find out who Tim is.
I don't mean his name. I mean his work, which is what matters. Cas's work needs no introduction on my feed.
But Tim has put forth his thoughts in his own crypto protocol called "Tau Protocol" or @tauprotocol.
Understandably, If Cas were to criticize the protocol, though fully capable, there'd always be an aspect of bias and, as a "no-coiner", can easily be dismissed by the cult.
That is not the case for me. I am a builder myself, and i'll happily put my 140k words spread across 3 books against this weaksauce 5 page D-grade-in-the-first-grade so called "whitepaper". I'll admit, it's a good effort for a child.
Just so everybody knows where we're at with the #gold backed #ruble:
The announcement i'm waiting for now is the Russian central bank buying rubles for gold (selling gold) at a set price. I'd expect this to be higher than 5k per gram, more like 6k a gram.
This'd be a soft-peg
Right now, Russia's waiting for the RUB to appreciate further before implementing an upper band. If the RUB is worth less per gram than the peg they've got in mind, people would immediately sell it for gold and it'd drain reserves. Hence the delay.
I don't think a traditional hard peg is favorable, as stated, when the RUB exceeds the central bank price it'll drain their reserves. By keeping an upper and lower band, both can be moved individually and adjusted to market changes.
Now that's fine, except... bLuna stands for Bonded Luna. How do you get bonded Luna? By staking regular Luna. It's how you get voting power.
So bLuna's backed by the value of Luna which is backed by the value of UST backed by bLuna.
It's a ponzi.
It only works because the vast majority of $UST is on deposit - dead money accumulating interest.
If UST's get sold for USD, that dollar value comes out of $LUNA. With the LUNA price in USD dropping, UST collateral also drops in USD value, as it's 75% bLuna.
In short - nasty stuff. When you refine crude oil into petroleum products, you get lots of byproducts. There's still energy in these things, but also more impurities and it's more viscous - meaning thicker, harder to pump.
You probably know that Gasoline sits at the top while Bitumen sits at the bottom. Bitumen is basically asphalt, not something you want to burn.
Anything too dirty/heavy to burn around humans because it's too toxic, but still viscous enough to pump, is classified as "bunker fuel"
