As an ex Besu team member, the whole eth cilent-diversity debacle has finally given me hope. I used advocate for client diversity and no one really cared. I even wrote a bot (nodeshare) to shed some light on the subject. But now people are caring- and the spotlight is on topic.
Remember that day years ago when Ethereum clicked, and you finally understood its advantage over Bitcoin? Wall street hasn't had that day yet. You're early.
I am the biggest critic of Ethereum, but I'm also its biggest fan. Ethereum changed my life and its original core mission still resonates highly with me. I'll always criticize eth, in order to help it improve and mature into what I saw in it in 2015.
@cdixon.eth, since you're on the board of autograph.io: those guys scared us out of our startup idea back in 2022, when they launched the same idea we had won 'NFTHack' with earlier that year. We were a bootstrapped team with about $5000 of hackathon money and hadn't raised money yet, and learned they had 8 million in funding and fucking Tom Brady on their team so we noped out with our tails between our legs. ...and now they've pivoted to a sports news app?! After not even launching the actual autograph app that would've been a banger if launched quickly during the NFT craze. (1 of 1 autographs were, IMO, one of the only real, practical use cases for NFTS). Shit, I would've known they were gonna throw in the towel and I'dve continued developing our app, Ink. Not trying to make a point or anything- if anything, I feel dumb for giving up, but just wanted to share since its baffling to me what a missed opportunity this was.
