Crypto is more and more centralised because the hardware to run your own node is now thousands of dollars. That is without even getting into miners...It is kinda failing.
This chart is kind of dated and misleading at the moment.
1) You don't need an archive node to fully verify the current state of the chain. A full geth node in full sync mode (about 600gb) will process every transaction of every block and get you the current state. You only need an archive node if you want the history of each account and contract separately indexed.
2) Folks that do want an archive node can now use much more space efficient clients then geth such as erigon (1.4tb) or besu (1.2 tb) if they want to run a block explorer or query the state of an account in the past.
1) you need an archive node to get historical events which is the only way to do lots of things. E.g. scrape all NFTs
2) Erigon has horrible bugs and is missing data. I filled a ticket against one such issue and they "fixed" it by making the exception go away and returning null. Their lack of attention to detail made me abandon the project.
If you know someone in the project I can produce MANY examples and would be willing to do so because running an archive geth node sucks.
I don't know any of them directly. But they do have an email on their github readme that you can send a request to for an invite to their discord. And if they don't respond on that, you can reach many of them in the Eth R&D discord.
Or the other trick is to microwave the uncooked sandwich slightly (10-20 seconds) so that the cheese starts to melt and then toast it so bread and cheese both get toasty without burning.
I still maintain a product with a few $100K/year revenue written in meteor. We long ago ditched the backed/DB layer but the frontend has aged fairly well. It is still fast and responsive. I will never create another product in meteor but I don't regret using meteor for that product. Coffee script on the other hand.... :P
My account was effected. I contacted support and they said it would remain open. Today I got an email saying it will be closed. I transferred my 10K cash balance out. I still don't know if my account will remain open. I used to recommend Brex heavily but their communication has been horrible.
Also, A one month notice to change all payments is insane. Brex should not be trusted.
Yea, if the account requirements are changeable with 60 days notice, they sure as heck can do it again, not sure I’d want my startup banking with them.
(Full Disclosure: They are kicking me off and I am very annoyed…)
But, see, your analysis doesn't inspire confidence in the economy which is bad for the economy. We need a different explanation. Ya know like "transitory inflation". Dam, used that, I guess Ukraine.
You sure you were not just out of the loop? Engineers are often not included because they would object. You were only there a few years so I doubt you were privy to much of the politics.
2nd this. I saw lots of packet loss on my gig connection when scraping a few TBs over IPFS. Turned off garbage collection which just deletes the whole cache when you go over a threshold?
Open seas contract code is not open AFAIK (binary is obviously available but I have not seen source other than decompile) Many contracts can be updated by leveraging proxy contracts. They can delete your nft if you mint with their contact.
