Python and Go are the only two options here imo

Honestly, NFTs are cool too. Liquidity positions are NFTs in many AMMs. And they're interesting primitives for things like licensure and protocol governance. It's the monkey pictures and gambling, specifically, that is dumb. Ppl get hung about what's effectively a row in a decentralized database

Similarly, I wish Ethereum dot org was on here, because right now the official face of the world's Ledger of Record on this app is @ethereum.bsky.social which is not only ~not~ official, but a token-shilling handle squatter @timbeiko.bsky.social

Two accounts that seem official but aren't using domain-verified handles in spite of having established websites - @signal.bsky.social - @wireddotcom.bsky.social

Feels like it should be a core BSky feature tbh

To be fair, Monero hasn't, and it's probably the most important from a civil rights perspective (for now), but the carbon footprint is negligible compared to Bitcoin

Selling your data, surely. Why else force accounts onto users

People can totally worry about bsky going bad! But actually do something about it. Bring your own username domain rather than borrowing bsky’s Get together with friends & run your own PDS. Use a different client if you like. Your data is yours even on the Bsky PDS and migration is built in.

To quote Bryan Newbold The only tokens atproto has are HTTP bearer tokens

I still feel like it's a stretch

If you're looking for some kind of token, don't hold your breath

Brother, a blockchain implies cryptoeconomic consensus. You're confusing the fact that there are blocks, and the word "ledger," with something very different

PLC actually stands for placeholder, and even with the emerging "Public Ledger of Credentials" name for the DID method, it's just a DID method and this has nothing to do with blockchain or even cryptoeconomics. Atproto could've used did:ethereum but chose not to.

Atproto does/will not use a blockchain

more than that — the AT Protocol works for storing other types of data too (up to the app developer), not just Bluesky posts here’s my data on the AT Protocol: atproto-browser.vercel.app/at/danabra.mov. note it includes Bluesky app data, but also data from smokesignal.events and from frontpage.fyi

everyone whos ever thought about building a social app but realised it is virtually impossible to do so because bootstrapping a new social graph is such a high barrier for users, suddenly get presented with a free social graph that they can build upon.

i love the design ideas in arc but the forced account requirement seems invasive

are you trying all the browsers or something

atproto is designed from its core to minimize "value capture", while maximizing "value creation". this is the exact opposite of what most VCs look for, and to me that implies that anyone investing in Bluesky genuinely believes in its potential for social good
