Daimo Pay. Build once, distribute everywhere

The closest Ethereum's had to downtime is some large gas spikes, but that's:
1. unavoidable in a permissionless protocol
2. still way better than even 10m of hard downtime, let alone 4h+
3. mitigated by upcoming L1 scaling

Users treat exuberant fees as a defacto liveness failure. To those users Ethereum was down for all of 2021.  Ethereum fees were so bad that 99.5% reliability but guaranteed low cost was better, and thats how solana managed to get pmf.

Anyone working on a fee predictor for solana defi txs.  What’s the optimal priority fee vs slippage setting?

The app chain thesis: every app will build a general purpose app chain/L2

Ideas fade, but founder stress is forever.

I bet the way to increase the NC is to do the counter-intuitive thing.  Let the top 1/3 by stake capture half of the rewards, but split the rewards equally.

The theory of democracy is that politicians want to stay in power more than they want to be wrong.

Just spend 10% of the burn on upgrading all the home stakers to fiber. If the software you are writing doesn’t end up changing the physical world what are you even doing here.  🙄🙄🙄

Every founders dream is to hire a bunch of sales people.  It means the product is so simple to sell that a lacrosse bro can cold call someone and convince them of the value prop.

wtf is mood eng? Mood engine? Mood engineering?

I think a cool end state for L1 foundations is a futarchy market for underwriting the risk of putting together the L1 ecosystem conference

This was an awesome breakpoint.  The best one yet.  If you all want the same great vibes next year, you need to build great profitable businesses.  Find the customers that love your product, iterate, iterate and iterate.

Best thing about this breakpoint are the hundreds unique hyper realistic cardboard cutouts of me for people to take selfies with.  Collect them all!
