Impromptu LA meetup with insomniasexx, randomuser, and thenewgreen last night!

Good times! A ridiculous amount of crypto talk.

We are doing a podcast radio interview thing here this morning. Then back to the mitten for me.

I'm getting serious about getting some exercise.

Awesome! Wish I could've been there. I've been staring at this screen for the last hour or two - I found a bit of time to dabble in Mist / Solidity. The hope is that a bit of smart contract literacy can give me a better sense of how dapps work and if they're worth their salt.

Maybe you should use that other crappy wallet that some weirdos made....what's its called? myetherwallet or some shit? 😉

I have to admit, I trusted Kraken for a long time, but made the switch to MEW recently. Awesome service you guys have made! 💪💪

(Only thing I found a bit confusing about the UX was the large amount of stuff you get and need to keep. Wasn't entirely clear what it was all for. Wallet files, pks, passwords... But I tried it out with a throwaway wallet before I did the real deal.)

Yeah we're streamlining next version...a LOT.

Biggest challenge has been trying to build a product for 50% power users / airgapped / security experts and 50% people who don't speak english and don't have any idea of what they are doing or even that they should maybe perhaps save something.

😩

Oh! Or you can beta our new product. I believe one of our new hires is going to be PRing a bunch in this weekend, but feel free to give it a go. It works on my computer. :)

You may need to send me your IP address so I can whitelist you. Not sure the status of our DDOS protection. It was a bit overprotective for a bit.

I think fluency in Solidity will become a very valuable asset.

    A ridiculous amount of crypto talk.

As in - "I know who killed Kennedy"?

mk  ·  2500 days ago  ·  link  ·  

No, cryptocurrency talk, as in - "Is GNT necessary for Golem, is it a security, and is it worth buying?"

If you know me well enough, you know well enough that I know about those things.

This was me making a joke about it.

I'll see myself out.
