Good questions.

Solana is the largest of the cheap/fast networks - I’ve worked in Solana for a year - but Aptos and Sui also have solid tech.

You use Safari on your iPhone and unlock your wallet with FaceID.

Right now physical stores that take USDC are generally luxury goods marketplaces, physical art galleries, and PC hardware marketplaces.

No you can’t cancel transactions after you’ve made them, however there are escrow services that provide similar facilities for a small fee.

No it’s proof of stake so the environment is fine.




This sounds promising, I'll get back to you in 10 years.


A completely reasonable reply. There’s a lot of good tech around, it’s definitely better than HN’s 2017-era crypto knowledge, but it’s not evenly distributed at all. I agree the proof will be in a decade.

Personally I jumped into Linux when it was a joke and everyone used Solaris, Python when it was a joke and everyone used Perl, and virtualisation when nobody would ever use it outside testing. I know I’m early in crypto. I hope it will work out but there’s no guarantees on anything.


> There’s a lot of good tech around

You mean Solana which has to take its network offline every two weeks or so [1] because it can't cope with yet another error/ddos/misconfiguration/what not?

[1] exaggeration.


Oops, during your transfer the value of the currency is now 80% of what it was!
