Approx 10-15k MAU deduplicated across 4 apps currently with virtually zero marketing spend. Trying to figure out product market fit for organic virality and adoption, both inside the IC ecosystem and outside
That’s right
Tamperproof smart contracts governed by a DAO. All data lives on canisters.
Server side frontend is stateless. Done for the speed benefits. Client side rendered frontend is drastically slower
Dynamically back up and evict inactive canisters to a cold storage beyond a certain threshold of inactivity. Restore them on user return.
Answered in the section you’ve quoted
Tamperproof unstoppable smart contracts with database like storage that costs comparably to traditional cloud completely governed by a DAO
Whenever the ICP price reaches $5 we get all this nonsense FUD. I don’t know if it’s people shorting ICP or it’s just investors getting overwhelmed. It’s getting ridiculous.
I’ll take a stab at explaining why it’s $5 - the entire crypto market is in a downtrend right now, which means ICP’s price has naturally followed suit and decreased as well.
Let me help you out here dude. Seems you are capable of using the forum search function to look up “good health”, that function can also be used to look up people’s forum names, fyi. Maybe if you tag them, they might actually pay attention to this unhinged thread. But let me save you the trouble, here yah go:
The entire market is heavily influenced by speculation. From a price perspective, the IC isn’t really any different from other platforms or the countless other tokens out there. If Bitcoin and Ethereum are going down, ICP follows the same pattern. It’s that simple. This won’t change until the crypto space gets more serious about fundamentals.
A handful of Node Providers that signed up between late August 2023 and December 2023, most of which used exactly the same boilerplate intro as George Bassadone in June 2023 now account for 59 out of the 158 machines in the six subnets that control the IC.
That’s with minimal digging. If we add in people who have shell companies, have provided nothing more than the first page of a bank statement as ID, then we’re probably closer to 80.
Now the same people are gaming the 70 → 42 max node reduction and taking servers away from legitimate providers and moving them to the same types of unknown shell companies.
If that doesn’t worry you then I guess you’re one of them.
Firstly, why would I target you, Adam? What have you done? You’ve never wronged me, and I have no reason to target you, or anyone else in the IC community.
With regards to allegation of my travels to Madrid being connected to the nodes, note that a person doesn’t need to be physically present where the nodes are located—everything can be managed remotely. As for the dates, I have no knowledge of the transfer of nodes from Madrid that you are referring to, but remember Madrid is a capital European city and home to over 3.5 million people. Once again, I have no relationship to NODAO or any node-providing link to any individual or company in Madrid or Miami.
While I do see brilliance in identifying a pattern, I see no brilliance in jumping to a conclusion and feeding a personal paranoia. If one does have concerns, the best course of action would be to investigate properly instead of launching a vicious attack.
How about reaching out to the other individuals and companies? We have some tagged above.
Do you also realise that your accusation undermines IC governance? Every node provider is required to submit real-world identification documents and other verification. Unverified suspicions leading to public accusations only harm the community and ultimately the ICP price.
If node providers, who invest time and resources into contributing, can be attacked without due diligence, who will want to help the ecosystem?
This is complete nonsense. As anyone can verify, they don’t even have that many nodes total to begin with, you are making stuff up that has no basis in reality and this is actually terrible for the IC community to have someone like you doing that with some sort of personal vendetta against someone you seem to actually know it seems. Makes me wonder about YOUR motives. Also, node providers don’t have any say in what subnets their nodes are put in and removed from. And yes, of course, anyone who doesn’t believe in your baseless conspiracy theory is of course one of the conspirators…
It doesn’t matter if you agree with @borovan stance, he is raising valid points, the possibility to collude is real even if people say they wouldn’t out of a moral standpoint.
This is why I’ve just voted to adopt the motion proposal. I’ve not had time to dig deep into the circumstantial evidence that has been put forward, but I’m very impressed by the initiative and attention to detail, and I agree that a full investigation should be launched, and some safeguards put in place to make sure sybil attacks are economically inconceivable, now and in the future.
I would however discourage any rash decisions being made before such an investigation is conducted and concluded though.
