But you need xDai to do anything on Gnosis, including in my case claiming my CLNY and my profile on the "metacolony" that governs the Colony DAO software project. Fortunately the good folks at Colony sent me a few pennies worth of xDai, enough to cover my bootstrap needs.

Well, I signed up for Colony, got my CLNY, and made noble plans to set up a DAO there soon, but of course, first I wanted to do the base, degen thing and see what my CLNY was worth. Also my first plan to acquire some more xDai was to sell a bit of my newfound CLNY riches. BUT....

Turns out I didn't actually have enough xDai left after my bootstrapping to even pay for the trade... the Colony people had sent me 0.01 xDai (1c), and I'd spent about 0.0065 already, and I had 0.0035 xDai (~0.3c) left. Not enough xDai to sell CLNY to get more xDai 🤣

Anyhow that was a good excuse to learn all this fancy "bridge" technology. So now given that the average tx on xDai seems to be about 0.2c, and I have $50 worth, I am good for about 25,000 tx if I don't spend xDai on anything else.

Anyhow, now I'm all set up to try some adventures on Colony and other attractions in Gnosis land (recommendations welcome).

But an interesting realization here: microtransactions are real now! For a couple of decades now people have been fantasizing about being able to cheaply move pennies around, now you can! I'm gonna try and do a bunch of penny-scale transactions next just because I can.

Another really fun thing going on here is having the same address on multiple networks which feels very sci-fi. Like China Mieville's City and the City which I started reading but didn't finish (it is about 2 cities that somehow occupy the same space)

Are there any interesting consequences of having the same address on different networks, or is it more just coincidental, like for example registering the same domain name in 2 different TLDs doesn't really give you any special features?
