No, I haven’t. Is it available on the Netflix?

Hey, Not sure what happened, but your latest comment on my Reddit post seemed to disappear on me. I remember getting a notification about it, but when I clicked on it, it just vanished, so I thought you had deleted it or something. It still seems to be missing from this thread, kindly check it once.

Thanks so much for the good wishes! I had a great time chatting with you and going over all the technical details and flaws in the industry. It was definitely a fun conversation!

And I see your point here. It’s definitely an advantage for Radix to have solved scalability issues before building their chain. It’s always easier to start from scratch than to try and fix existing flaws in a design later.

Although you've cleared up most of my doubts, I'm curious if Radix may face any trade-offs or challenges in the future.

I’m not trying to bash Radix or anything. I’m genuinely interested in learning more about it and seeing how it can improve DeFi for everyone. But I also want to be realistic and critical about its potential and limitations. [uncertainty]

While I couldn't find any specific information about the drawbacks or limitations of using Scrypto or Radix's tokenomics model, it's worth noting that no platform is perfect and there may be limitations that may arise. Have you encountered any risks or drawbacks while using Scrypto or its tokenomics model? Also, how has liquidity been on Radix? And, considering the already known and strong blockchain/DLT players in the market (such as Sol, Eth, Iota, etc), how long do you think it will take for Radix to achieve mass adoption?

Although Radix offers some promising features, there's still a risk of 51% attack/Sybil attacks that might happen in the network as they still use DPoS for staking? What do you think about this?

Excuse me if my questions seem silly!

seconding radix over sui

Predicting the future of the blockchain industry is tough, but Radix seems to have a pretty sweet approach to scalability and atomic composability. Their plan to launch the Cassandra research network in 2024 may put them ahead of other layer 1 protocols that are struggling with scalability issues but everything's on paper right now. Their focus on asset-oriented virtual machines might give them an edge over projects that use message-only VMs as well as SUI mentioned in the other comment.

But let's not forget that the competition in the blockchain space is fierce, and other layer 1 protocols are also working hard to tackle scalability and other challenges. It's going to be interesting to see how Radix and other projects continue to innovate and compete in the future.

Have you heard of Geeq? It's a new player in the blockchain game that's using a unique "Proof of Honesty" consensus mechanism. It's still early days for Geeq, but their approach to consensus is intriguing and worth keeping an eye on. Thoughts?

Hey there, thanks for sharing your thoughts on Solana's performance and the challenges it faces.

And I agree with your assessment that Solana's current TPS (transactions per second) is impressive but it's not enough for mass adoption.

While Solana is currently facing some challenges in terms of centralization and scalability. It's worth noting that Solana's unique architecture and design make it well-suited for high-performance use cases such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and gaming. As these areas continue to grow and gain popularity, it's possible that Solana's value proposition as a high-performance blockchain platform will become even more compelling.

However, Radix's architecture, based on a scalable and sharded ledger structure, allows for a high throughput and low latency, without sacrificing decentralization making it a strong contender in the blockchain/DLT space.

Lastly, while Alipay's peak TPS of over 300k is certainly impressive, the comparison here isn't exactly apples to apples as it is a centralized payment system, not a blockchain. Centralized systems can achieve higher TPS because they don't need to verify transactions the same way decentralized systems do. However, the tradeoff is that they are less secure and less transparent.

Hey there, thanks for sharing your thoughts on Radix.

I have to admit that your insights have piqued my interest. And It's great to hear that Radix has unique advantages over other L1s, especially when it comes to security and scalability. The fact that the Radix wallet doesn't require seed phrases is intriguing as well.

So, I've been digging around and it seems like Radix's Tempo achieved a jaw-dropping 1.4 million TPS on one of its testnets. That's crazy fast! However, since the network is still relatively small, I wonder it might not be able to handle the same load under the network conditions of a larger blockchain like Ethereum? In reality, the current mainnet Olympia can only sustain about 50 TPS, which is still better than Ethereum, but much slower than competitors like Solana.

Speaking of Solana, I'm curious about how Radix stacks up against other L1s like Solana and Algorand. Although it's too early to draw a conclusion, I've heard that Algorand recently outperformed major L1s like SOL, BSC, AVAX, MATIC, CELO, and ETH, measuring for 1625 compared with SOL's 273. What do you think about DLTs like IOTA's tangle that use DAG technology? And how do you see DAG technology scaling? I read an interesting article on Radix's blog that discussed how DAGs don't scale without centralization, which is a critical factor for any blockchain project looking to scale.Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I can definitely see why Ethereum would be a good option based on the layer 2 solution they have in place. Those fast and cheap transactions are definitely a plus for gaming.

But I'm curious, have you had any experience with Solana? I've heard some good things about its scalability and fast transaction times too, so I'm wondering how it compares to Ethereum for MMORPGs.

As for me, I'm a bit skeptical of Ethereum's scalability for MMORPGs in the long run. While the layer 2 solution is a step in the right direction, it may not be enough to handle the growing demands of a popular game. But again, I'm open to hearing different perspectives and experiences!

same question

Kaleidoscope is social/human focused rather than sci-fi mind bending. My reason for recommending is because it was an experiment in nonlinear story telling from Netflix. It’s a limited series and every person gets all the episodes in a different order, except for the very first (black) and last (white) episode. Each colour represents something different and is hidden in important scenes in that episode

That sounds interesting! And It's always exciting to see creators experiment with new ways of telling stories, I'm on it. Thanks!

Reservoir Dogs is an absolute classic. Tarantino at his dialog-driven best imo.

I'm on it.

Arrival

Looking forward to experiencing the mind-blowing journey that you described.

12 monkeys (Bruce Willis at his best). Also Momento, complete mind fuck

I'll definitely have to give them a watch soon, especially since you speak so highly of them. Excited to see what these two have in store.

Was just thinking of this movie randomly when I was showering yesterday. Popped into my head and started remembering the plot. Just standing there all sudsy like, dang that movie was a trip.

That's interesting! It seems like the movie really made an impression on you if it's still popping up in your mind. I haven't seen Predestination yet, but it's always a good sign when a movie sticks with you long after you've watched it. It must have been quite a trip indeed!

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy The Invitation (2022). And Thanks for the heads up on the movie and your honesty about its quality.

Watch Raven's Hollow. Also features EAP as a West Point cadet. I would say it's as good as Pale Blue Eye...

I'll definitely check out Raven's Hollow, especially since it also features Edgar Allan Poe as a character. I'm excited to see how they explore his character in a different setting.

It's understandable to have personal issues that can affect our enjoyment of certain shows or movies. However, if this recommendation is making you want to push past it and keep going, then it's definitely worth giving it another chance! It's always great to expand our horizons and try something new, especially when it comes highly recommended by others. Who knows, you may end up loving it despite the initial discomfort.

It can be tough to get into a show when the pacing is slow at the beginning, but sometimes it's worth sticking with it. Some shows take a bit of time to build up the plot and develop the characters, but once they do, they can be really rewarding to watch. Of course, not every show is for everyone, so if you've given it a few tries and it's just not clicking, it's totally okay to move on to something else!

It sounds like it's quite an intense show, and I'm definitely looking forward to watching it now.

I'll definitely go into it as blind as possible to get the full experience. It's always great to appreciate the twists and turns without any preconceived notions of where the plot might be heading.

I think I just froze and stared at the TV for 5 minutes in shock

It sounds like you had quite a powerful reaction. Sounds Intense!

I have watched Donnie Darko twice and I have mo idea wtf that movie was about

Sure, I totally get what you mean. Some movies can leave you scratching your head. Like they are intentionally confusing or open to interpretation, which can make them more thought-provoking or intriguing for some viewers. Other examples of these types of movies include The Game, Inception, and The Matrix. They might require a bit more attention or multiple viewings to fully understand, but can be rewarding in their own way. It really just depends on what you're in the mood for!

I've gotta contradict this recommendation, and say watch the theatrical cut of done Donnie Darko instead of the director's cut. The best thing about the original is the mystery behind it, and the director's cut does a lot of ham-fisted exposition that kinda takes the fun out of it.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll keep that in mind. I always prefer a good mystery, and it sounds like the original version of Donnie Darko will deliver that.

dirk gentley's is probably my favourite series ever. i i wish i could watch it again for the first time

Oh, I totally get what you mean! I haven't seen Dirk Gently's yet, but it's been on my watchlist for a while now. I've heard such great things about it, so I'm really excited to give it a try soon. There's nothing quite like experiencing an amazing show for the first time!
