IMO reverse money could crash the network
Please Invest. Extremely Sound Project
Let me know if you want to get in on this robust project

Aggregators are ripe for decentralisation.
hell yeah player

the connecting agent in those transactions i.e. delivery.com, seamless, ubereats etc. are just rentseekers which can and should be decentralized though
i rescind that they "should be decentralized". obviously food delivery decentralization is a low priority i'm just saying they it is possible

The transparency of data could be a blocker for many businesses. e.g. defentralised pizza ordering.

The stratechery view is that Uber should focus on the app portal as moat rather than self driving cars. Though a dApp with enough installs could then compete. https://stratechery.com/2018/the-scooter-economy/
interesting read! i just meant that we might want to try to popularize dapps that compete with platforms whose companies aren't looking to rely heavily on them for $. as those companies are likely the most willing to decentralize their applications.

for example: if uber was theoretically (long game) looking to make their main revenue source in research/car development.. with enough social pressure/decentralized apps to compete with it, we could make it expedient for them to decentralize their platform
i have no idea which comps. this is true for. i am sauced and uber was just the first thought. but i feel like it'd be way easier to get mainstream adoption if we pressured traditional platforms to switch to decentralized versions.
either pressure them or legislate them
Replying to @ian (0x1b6a6072c8eac4ec04b171e9e665786a60d4925f)
maybe we should look to push decentralized alternatives of platforms that are run by companies that have strong rev sources outside of the platform they run or are looking to pivot?

Might deploy Reverse Money on the mainnet soon. It's pretty sick... every time you send someone money you get more money.
It's literally the best economy

Praise be to @Spotify... I mean, how awesome is it to be able to access nearly every song in existence in high quality at the touch of a button? #NowPlaying https://open.spotify.com/track/4eSPgp7BuS9Yi4agcV4sAw?si=SKyGXb83Qc2ZxTAED_dZ1g

Nice streak! Enso is the "like", the circle icon, that can only be given once per day.
word thank you for filling me in

1. what is an enso???? 2. peepstreaks are good to keep us posting in the early stage 3. meaningless posts are good! iirc twitter was mostly brain vomit in it's early years

peepeth needs to get the anime communists to start posting on here. would really spice things up here imo

There have been some public exploratory grants, but it seems is mostly small potatoes at this point. Some industry experts are predicting a downpour of funding eventually. The EU is supposedly earmarking €30 billion to a blockchain research fund.
good to hear. thanks a bunch
Replying to @jm9k (0xa7bd09daab3eb5ec96f04914d94c47681489d604)
Foundations sponsorships and grants are often available as well.
private philanthropy though correct?
are there are any instances of public funding being poured into this space?
haven't been up on this space in a while, is there any good funding mechanisms besides icos/crowdsourcing for dapps?

I don’t know Tinder. Be honest and true to yourself so there are no false expectations for those you meet. Perhaps it should just be “I’m trying to find love”
thank you for your kind words Andrew!
DAPPS that replace an existing centralized service with well written, efficient smart contracts to keep gas costs low 🔥🔥🔥
DAPPS with needless tokenization, injecting the market into their app for no purpose other than to enrich it's creators. confusing potential users ✖️✖️✖️
Hello peepers. Can you guys help me think of Tinder pickup lines? I'm trying to find love
shoutout peepstreaks. i love gamified posting. decentralize the planet!!!!
REALITY IS SHIT AND CYBERSPACE IS GOD!

Does dapps with their transaction fees mean only people who don't mind losing a few cents here and there would be using them!?
also a chance to have public funding or a private subscription service for unlim dapp access

Peeps are all public e.g. on-chain/IPFS. Unstoppable research.
yup! imagine what we can learn about the human experience if data (that we permit to share) about our communications is public and accessible!
crazy how all the big tech comps have closed the faucets to their data in the past few years. i've been trying to gather data from social media sites for academic research it's been such a pain to do!

we'll probably disagree here but i think collectivism is good esp if it's transparent innovations that are core to society but don't work as private companies (facebook) should be nationalized and decentralized imo non-profit system is fragile. don't want 2 rely on donors
however, i wouldn't mind some rich silicon valley guy shelling out money to a nonprofit that subsidizes people getting into web3 because he thinks it's cool.
Replying to @Alec (0x23677376bc1b7f48970b83a7ce0d0367395eac9e)
Government is definitely the wrong direction. A government subsidizing gas cost = the taxpayer subsidizing gas cost. Also, a system reliant on non-profits sounds a bit fragile to me.

i think this could be possible in two ways. 1. government/nonprofit subsidization of gas costs 2. a private company (like an isp or something) bundling eth gas with their plans it doesn't need to be free, it just needs to feel free
this coupled with a frontend that remove the transactional nature of this app
Replying to @evanstucker (0xca5c66933149d95fba1050aaf7046b08a7f28ae5)
I don't have a problem with the cost either, but even one penny effectively makes this service pay-walled. "Free" is critical to mass adoption. I wish there was a way for me to run a node that could charge 0 gas, and put stuff on the blockchain for other people for free.

Reminds me of an ERC standard (823?) in development, that would allow you to sign up for subscription services without having to manually approve the regularly occurring transaction.
very interesting, i'll look into that.
we could probably just write it as an extension to metamask. have a list of saved contracts you trust + the amount you're willing to pay for gas.

Exactly. Read my next post. Delegation is key. Interesting: Value optimization curves for simple choice architectures. Aka Good Design.
exactly!
Replying to @RedBrown (0x5c5bec47cbdd0502bbba4ebac5f35416e4922507)
Interesting. I like it. Definitely an exciting future. But it needs less transactional interface.
yup. a contract autosigner needs to be written ASAP. dapps need to feel like normal apps.

Instantaneous Identity is about selectivity & choice. Selectivity provided by @Peepeth (Inputs). Choice provided by the individual (Compression). How can I choose my AI based on my beliefs & reputation? How can I use the same AI model (Outputs) that @naval or @jack uses?
while choice is fantastic, remember 99% of people in the world don't care/want to make these choices.
if we want to scale we must operate outside of cryptos libertarian hive mind.
devs should take heed from behavioral econ. maximize choice but have simple choice architectures.
if you want privacy put it on the chain

how does the network load of a decentralized social media site compare to a traditional one? interested in whether ISPs would be incentivized to get people to switch. perhaps providing free ETH gas like how there used to be AOL free trials to get people on the web.
just brainstorming private incentives for dAPPs that don't involve the convoluted tokenization that we're seeing in this space atm. obviously cozying up to ISPs isn't ideal.
