If you’re going to be a pedant at least be correct. Both words are being used correctly.

That being said, I completely understand if the larger fantasy world building is less compelling to you than the individual character drama. That’s a fair view to have and I get why you’d rather keep that character focus if that’s what you found most engaging about the show.

That said, it’s all moving to proof of stake soon anyways

Apologies for the lateness of this reply. I’d been writing and rewriting it on and off for awhile now because while I have a lot to say about it, I didn’t want to just bury you in an essay. So I’ve been trying (and failing) to be concise with it.

So here’s something to consider. There’s one common piece of advice across virtually every single activity in existence. Stretch before and after. The reason for that is to reduce the chance of injury.

Where did you get that I’m defending transphobes?

Few things to think on...

But I will disagree with him on whether a blockchain is a viable means of facilitating item ownership and player to player sales with *certain* advantages over traditional database backed marketplace APIs on the backend of a single game (or as noted above “coupled games”)

I was really only responding to the paragraph I quoted.  I just started off quoting the top of the thread, so you had that, then also grabbed a few of the relevant tweets in the thread in case you didn’t click through to read.  I’ll respond to your other response.

But NFTs where the resource they point to is on a fixed network like a gaming service where the sole owner of the item can be identified via a blockchain seems like a legitimate application of blockchain technology. The usage of the NFT terminology is problematic but the underlying blockchain tech could be useful to…

Well there’s a reason I’m doing a map despite hating actually doing it.
