Are you on Discord, Telegram, or X? Send me a message on any of them - I have the same username as here. Or otherwise let me know if you prefer a different messaging platform.

RE: Intro From Your (next) Favorite Internet Yapper
Welcome! I also live outside Philly, am 42, and a dad! Let me know if you want to get together and grab lunch or something sometime. I'm also a part of a few Philly area crypto groups that meet and hang

RE: SPS Governance Proposal - Establish BASE LP
In addition to the points in the other replies, there is not currently any bridge option for SPS to Solana so that wouldn't be possible yet, while zkCross (the current bridging partner for SL) does currently

The biggest reason to avoid throwing something like Hive into a retirement account is that you're giving governance powers to a centralized entity. FYI you can hold HIVE (or any crypto) in a self-directed

RE: Surviving the Survival Mode?
Ahh ok, that makes sense. It's important to understand the underlying issues and address those rather than the symptoms of those issues. Perhaps we could put a time limit on rentals where they have to

I still don't understand why more people aren't doing what tryhard and dratek are doing. I don't know how much they are spending on the rentals, but they must be pulling in a good amount of profit per

RE: Surviving the Survival Mode?
The issue is really that we've been totally swamped with the CA release and the new player experience stuff we want to have ready for our marketing efforts that we haven't yet had much time to work on

RE: How Much is Enough?
This. HBD is a lot more risky than most ppl on here make it out to be, at least for positions of any meaningful size.

RE: SPS Governance Proposal - Reduce SPS to DEC Conversion Fee
I've been asked about my thoughts on this by a number of people so I figured it was best to post them here publicly. First, as many people have stated in the comments, I agree that it would be very helpful

RE: Of course I'm going big on Conclave Arcana
I'm already planning to spend at least double on CA what I've spent on any other pack release we've done to date, mostly just due to the new foil cards and the new collector-focused aspects. There will

RE: What are we putting into our blocks?
I am sure this number will go up as more validators come online and users get their nodes registered. Only a portion of the transactions will increase as more validators come online. It works similarly

RE: Thorchain is Insolvent: Bank Run Activated
I still don't know if I want to buy some at this $2 price or not. It's still a bit disillusioning... Yep, that's what makes these decisions difficult. If it wasn't disillusioning then the price wouldn't

RE: Thorchain is Insolvent: Bank Run Activated
Normally, I would just be like whatever, another crypto blow-up, but in this case I'm really bummed because I absolutely love Thorchain's core product. Decentralized cross-chain swaps are so important

RE: The Thorchain Death Spiral | Doomed or Diamond?
I also have quite a large RUNE bag (my only positions of size outside of BTC, ETH, and HIVE) so it's been quite disheartening to see this. The first thing I'll say is that I absolutely LOVE Thorchain's

RE: Introducing Splinterlands Survival Mode
Yep - it's very hard to predict exactly how this will all play out. Which is also pretty exciting in my opinion. I expect it might take many months before players arrive at optimal strategies.

I assure you that it was not "overlooked". We recognize that it might be an issue, but it is possible that it might not be, or might not be an issue in the way we think. As a result, the current

RE: Introducing Splinterlands Survival Mode
My current thought - and keep in mind this is just a thought - is that we make it so that only season rentals can be used in Survival Mode battles, and then we make it so that all cards come off cooldown

I don't intend to open up our reward pool for exploitation. This mode is quite different than the other game modes we have, and it's very difficult to predict what the possible exploits will be or how
