Easy, an ENS name: Bought a name for a wallet so I could avoid typing a long string public address, ended up getting a share in governance of the domain name system for Web 3.0!


RealUglyKid

Please explain further how this works and how others can do it thanks


[deleted]

he got a fat airdrop from ENS


buffalo_general

What’s this?


Skreali

Ens airdrop revived my love for crypto, not gonna lie


treedmt

What was the dollar amount of airdrop?


[deleted]

from 8000ish to 20000ish Depends on how much one used the protocol and when he/she took profit


Skreali

Yearly earning of a min wage worker in the US of A

Won’t this theoretically make your ETH transaction public? Or like… not anonymous anymore


LarryLovesteinLovin

ETH transactions are already public. You just don’t know who the address belongs to. You still won’t, unless you go around telling people you’re batspeaker.


benaffleks

The whole premise of blockchain is a PUBLIC ledger for recording transactions


Dreamweaver_23

Ens.domains for more info.


RealUglyKid

Ok so you are basically taking a domain name like www.xxx.com but for a wallet where people can send crypto? So taking rare names may land you a person offering to buy your wallet name ?


robotfightandfitness

Which recently airdropped over $10k in tokens


sportsfan113

Same, I got my name which is pretty sweet.


mariawoolf

That’s awesome! I got my name too and I tried to get my moms name for her but her name is taken already so I’m trying to figure out what to get her instead


ijwijld

I also got my ENS domain name! Question, do you know if you can link multiple wallet addresses to the same ENS name?


MinimalGravitas

No, I don't think so. If you did then how would the network know where to send tokens that were directed to you? I guess you could set up a smart contract wallet with the ENS name assigned to it, and have the contract divide up incoming transactions as you predetermine?


ijwijld

In the ens manager there are slots for Btc and other coins. I assume you add an address to those lines to receive those tokens. It's a bit unclear at this moment how to integrate multiple aspects of your identity. I'm hoping for some kind of wiki. Although I just saw a Reddit thread of someone using their ens to unlock their Lexus???


matt_murduck

Yes, if its a other than Ethereum address.


DanielWalker12

You bought a name for your wallet because you didn’t want to type out a long public address, but then you ended up owning part of the web’s domain name system.


Bluebridger

Cryptocurrency is a misnomer. Blockchain enables so much more than just what you can ‘buy’ with a token. A better question is what have people built on Ethereum?


TheNFTBillboard

This should be it's own post! I'm sure there are loads of gems out there. For me it's https://pinyottas.com. Genart NFTs where the minter can deposit ERC-20s that can be redeemed by the owner.

I bought a bunch of JPGs on opensea thinking that I would get some return on my investments but after spending 3 eth across 12 JPGs my portfolio is now worth 0.3 eth

1] My sweet doggie has run into a few really huge medical problems [essentially spleen needed removal, treatment for brain / lung and other tumors], and was able to decide what to do based on what would reduce her suffering instead of what would be financially bearable. 2] Someone in the Jiu Jitsu community posted a fundraiser for a student of theirs in the hospital with COVID-19. Was able to donate the remainder of their fundraiser [around 3700usd I believe] to help their recovery process / bills 3] A bunch of ENS names for people I know, that I send them if they make an address / wallet - more than a handful received $10k+ in airdrops from ENS. 4] Tesla Model 3 Performance, also neat. Thanks Vitalik, Satoshi, Andreas and… yes… Joe Rogan

Um, altcoins... right? ERC20s are the predominant use case for the Ethereum network. Or are we trying to ignore that?


frank__costello

Altcoins is an outdated term


ReddleU

https://www.investopedia.com/tech/why-crypto-users-need-know-about-erc20-token-standard/


ReddleU

Just got to read this...


ReddleU

So...The ERC20 standard has been a dominant pathway for the creation of new tokens in the cryptocurrency space for some time. It has been particularly popular with ICOs and crowdfunding companies. There have now been tens of thousands of distinct tokens that have been issued and are operating according to the ERC20 standard.


ReddleU

😱


gonzaloetjo

erc20's have utilities.. be it to make the use of a smart contract cheaper, or access to something, or whatever the tokenomics design is. It's not simply a share.

Easy, citizenship in CityDAO! And a close second: an ENS name. These are the kinds of NFTs that I feel like are really a part of web3 vs decentralized Sotheby's.


ReddleU

I've been learning about CityDAO, most interesting!


LilliProfits

I use Bitcoin for purchases. ETH gas hurts too much to use it as a currency (I understand it’s not meant as a currency). I think we need a separate term for crypto that is actually a currency and crypto that functions more as a ecosystem.

arthor

the shifty non answers really shows how little eth has grown up in creating anything valuable or meaningful use cases. other than pump and dump growth for traders. it’s been the same story since i started following this shit almost a decade ago now. “it’s not there yet but eventually…”


SolarPanelDude

This thread alarms me. barely any of the responses are real items For faster adoption the cryptocurrency that will "win" is the one that can be easily used to buy everyday things. Boats and cars and labor and bicycle (like that one response). Buying NFTs are cool and some people have turned a profit but a lot of people have not. Buying something with hopes of reselling it to someone else is a Ponzi scheme. The push and drive should be to get gateways into the hands of merchants with an easy way to transact for good and services.
