USBs aren't convenient enough. I've done wifi sharing via FTP, which didnt require WAN. Ftp was slow to set up. My bluetooth's bandwidth seems very small?

A 1 click to install app across multiple devices, that only uses LAN, would be ideal. Right now, I just transfer files with element

In a since deleted post, I believe a reddit developer was saying it's ~500 million users

Do they want users to switch to the fediverse?

Bonus It will have no direct impact since it runs on Arbitrum, a solution built on top of Ethereum. These 500m accounts and their tokens will not be directly put on the main chain, so any growth in Ethereum as a result is only from the greater fallout of adoption.

The raw figures are around 1 transaction every couple months. More would be done in testing than 10 years of production, and the number would still be less than I have personally made

It doesn’t run on chain. Ethereum can’t handle all the apps running on the main blockchain, so instead there’s little blockchains on the side that just use the validation of the main blockchain and every few months sync up with a single transaction.

Arbitrum is one of these side blockchains - so it’s not secured by miners directly, but can at any point sync up. The sync is only one transaction. There’s some semantics on how it’s still secured/doesn’t make an insanely massive transaction/etc but I don’t follow it that closely.

There’s other “off-blockchain” solutions besides Arbitrum (i.e. Bitcoin has the Lightning Network, and there’s other different ones on Ethereum too). As another example, GameStop uses an “off-blockchain” solution on Ethereum called Loopring, although it’s been a while since I was into crypto so I’m not too sure on the details for how that one works.

This subreddit has been mentioned several times in the recent past. It seemed prime time to make a sublemmy about it, to hopefully give r/antiwork redditors a better venue to head to.

If we only use encryption when we’re working with important data, then encryption signals that data’s importance. If only dissidents use encryption in a country, that country’s authorities have an easy way of identifying them. But if everyone uses it all of the time, encryption ceases to be a signal. No one can distinguish simple chatting from deeply private conversation. The government can’t tell the dissidents from the rest of the population. Every time you use encryption, you’re protecting someone who needs to use it to stay alive.
