j/c but why are we still maxing out at 1gb ethernet connections? why have the speeds essentially not progressed in 20 years? you can get a 40gb connection by just using usb-c on modern machines. what's going on? (curious about why this is the case industry-wide, i think this project is really cool)
Can someone give me a good use case (even better if you're doing it yourself) for a smart contract?
What is anyone doing with them that they find really handy?
I've never been able to understand how it gets used / why you would use smart contracts. I've googled and read... still don't grok it.
I've seen so many "benefits" listed, but none make sense to me as far as the process you go through and how it works out in the end. Often it's described as a magic thing that eliminates the use of "intermediaries" and so on. I suppose that is true but you only get to that by going through all the complexity of from making sure someone writes a good contract / getting folks from the outside to review and validate it and so on. I'm not sure that saved a lot in the end.
Much like a most things blockchain I find these ideas (not bad ones) and then the practical usage ... much less than ideal.
Typically I like to read HN comments for insightful discourse focused on details of the topic at hand by relevant experts. It is a terrible failing of HN that this useless comment is promoted to the top.
It is like if there were a detailed blog post about rusts type system and I was to comment “Why would anyone use rust when they could use X instead?”
Please stop upvoting this comment.
For ETH they can sue Vitalik Buterin, the rest of the Ethereum Co-Founders, and the Ethereum foundation. They are the issuers and majority of the ETH supply is there since the beginning.
vitalik and the ethereum foundation hold less than 0.5% of the eth supply.

I once had a fender bender in a Tesla that cost 20k to fix (back in 2016). Downside of not having 3rd parties making the parts.
