Here for eg… yes I’m making a bit of money, but notice I’m putting 14 years of accumulated Web2 reputation at risk, with poll suggesting I could lose ~23% of it right now AND an indeterminate fraction of the undecideds, in 3 of 4 scenarios here. Not trivial.

Aside, far more interesting than the hostility from genpop is the hostility from Bitcoin maxis (Bitcoin maximalists — people who believe Bitcoin is the One True Coin), since Web3 is based entirely on post-Bitcoin tech. For the record I think they’re wrong.

Okay, the WRITE token race is live. Please vote if you'd like to see the get on mirror (you need the metamask extension to vote, and anybody can cast 10 votes).

You have ~2 more hours to vote in the WRITE race. And the Foundation auction ends in 50 minutes...unless someone bids in last 15 minutes in which case it gets extended another 15 minutes (who came up with this sniper-action design pattern? is it common?) foundation.app/@vgr/~/106332

Foundation auction closed at 0.69E. Fees were a bit ruinous, but still a tidy profit. Best part of this was being able to divert a nice slice to ... she's an amazing artist. Check out her stuff linktr.ee/gracewitherell
Also sent a slice of the pie to EFF

I *think* we made it? Says we came in at #2 in the current round of voting and the rules say top 10 get in. But don't yet see a way to verify. I'll wait to confirm, but looks like yakcollective will be on mirror shortly, and that's like halfway to being a DAO right?

Feels like this is the end of Phase 1, Random Acts of Web3ing
Phase 2 calls for some Cunning Acts of Strategery I think

Thanks to all who voted for us in the WRITE race. If you're wondering why so many voters have 100s or 1000+ votes, it's because existing Mirror DAO members get 1000 votes when they get in and it increases slowly as they participate more. Outsiders get 10. It's an ingroupocracy!

Everything about Web3 seems to be driven by an underground warren-like Signal/Telegram/Discord-based network. In a 2019 post, I had an area marked "Cryptoweb" under the Cozyweb region... well, it's kinda nearing completion and this is it.

I've been meaning to ask... what's with these single initial subdomains? is that like a cultural convention among early mirror members?
Replying to
There isn't any convention! A $WRITE burner can pick any available subdomain. Some core members picked single characters (g.mirror, d.mirror, p.mirror, etc). But there's also j.mirror, belonging to , and other counter-examples like veronica.mirror - .
