But the Web2 subcultural fragmentation tlds were still kinda in harmony with .com. They typically signaled a vertical orientation, but still with "dot com" basic neoliberal capitalism values/ethos. I think Web3 is signaling a fuck-you to that at an axiomatic tld level.

Update, it's only a strict Coldie auction if you extend by 24h each late bid, because the intent is apparently global time-zone fairness. I guess the 15-minute extension model is a Coldie-like model but with other intentions (sniping defense etc)

@withFND does not use the Coldie Method. The auction function i invented extends the bidding 24 hours for each new bid. I did this so people across the world would have equal opportunity to bid no matter what time zone they are in

Own = still stock thinking, the flow equivalent might be “execute” (contracts, instructions, orders) so we get rwx on global computer 🤔 All Unix metaphors then apply. chmod, chown, pipes, redirects

I’m genuinely surprised by the number of people whose basic posture is “give me one real use case and convince me.” I can understand hostile rejection or just diving in to either explore or grift. But standing around like it’s somebody’s job to win you over? That is odd.

I'm on that side and I'm confused by your confusion. You've never heard about a thing socially but took a while to build up the activation energy to dive in and learn? You never wait for a "good reason" to start learning?

but like...I got off my ass and learned to code when I needed it for a math research project in college. I learned the basics of "how is computer made" when I needed it for work. lots of stuff like that, where there's a practical trigger for learning something.

social triggers are a thing too, like "my friend always talks about these movies/TV so I guess I need to watch them to bond with him", but if something looks hard to learn, I need more than Twitter-based social triggers to motivate me.
