finally understand the SOL thing now: when people say SOL is cheaper to use they are comparing gas to gas, NOT counting the SOL specific extra rent fees

unfair comparison imo and should come with a giant asterisk anytime someone says it

"But you get the money back when you delete your program!" (aka when you realize that the only thing Solana users want to do is trade tokens and realize your deployment of anything other than that was a waste of time and money)

i get the reasoning i just don’t like being told something is cheaper than base then being like “oh also it has a lot of extra fees we didn’t mention” sounds like a scam

the shared symmetric key for each crush pairing is posted in a new "PDA", apparently pre-deriving the addresses upfront would've made the crush being posted cost less, but also i don't really know what that means or what the implications would've been

deployment: 1.42700184 SOL spend + 0.00109 SOL fee
crush being posted: 0.001638 SOL
crush being reciprocated: 0.00001 SOL

total crushes posted was around 3k so ~= 5 SOL = 800 USD

how does the cost break down for the contract you put up? is this where the huge cost to deploy comes from?

if all you’re doing is sending or exchanging coins it’s cheaper than Base, if you are using any onchain data it is much more expensive per tx. think like user saving their high score onchain

For users it's basically the same though, right?

Currently: WhatsABI

- programmable smart contracts? as long as they don't decide account access at runtime
- verified blockchain? as long as you do it from a recent snapshot, not from genesis
- call other programs? as long as call depth is less than 4

everything comes with a giant asterisk:
- gas fees? don't look at the rent fees
- congestion fees and tx failures? works for me, just don't look at local hot spots
- provable blockchain? can't do state proofs because merkletrees were too slow

sol is cheaper when gas isnt expensive (it topped at like $2) rn it tops .01 but usually its like .00001

yeah the rent fees can be a burn, .002 a token, so if you are trenching 10 memcoins deep, thats .002 SOL, so yeah

its dope tho, i have a token

Base has the cheapest fee, from my experience

Do eth people not know most types of rent on solana is reclaimable?
