the monitor market is so deeply unserious

it's crazy to me that no one has ever made a good 5k screen outside of Apple (or LG, as forced to by apple)

Looking for some help being a telegram integration for our CRM, Attio. @bountybot Open to pitches for how much you want to charge:

Requirements:
- Allow user to auth telegram account
- Allow user to auth attio account
- Allow user to associate attio deal with a list of chats (usually 1 but up to 3)
- Every time there’s a new conversation in telegram, update it as an activity in attio.
- Ideally smart batch chats so not every new msg is an activity. e.g. can be a cron job that updates once every hour

Notes:
- UI can be simple
- Create your own test account for Attio for dev.
- We can take over hosting
My unpopular (at least in tech) opinion is that professional education is bad and liberal arts is gud actualy.

You can pick up job skills anytime anywhere, but you can realistically only sit deeply with history, philosphy, and the arts when you're under 20.
Super excited to have @mmazco on the @agora team! 🎉

Even before Agora, she’s been working on onchain communities as the cofounder of Crowdmuse

Couldn't be more hyped for what's ahead!

i love the energy around "built on Ethereum" but tbf users could not care less.

Just wrote up a quick list of all way the ways @haunventures (our lead) helped us out:

* Intros to key customer (5+)
* Intros to key partners (5+)
* PR for fundraise and our recent acquisition
* Help with marketing strategy & recruiting

Imo VCs get undue hate in this industry. They put in the work!!

Feels like crypto is trending heavily toward either “definite pessimism” (aka PvP nihilism) or “indefinite optimism” (“bring the world onchain”) according to the Thiel matrix.

We need more definite optimism.

One strange lesson I've learned as a founder is importance of distinguishing "good pain" from "dumb pain" – aka when to lean into hard things vs when to try something else.

Tier 0: run from all pain
Tier 1: ignore pain
Tier 2: embrace good pain, avoid dumb pain
crazy to see these three in the same room again! big coinbase 2019 vibes. congrats to all involved!!

We just welcomed the boardroom.info team to Agora!

These are some of the most OG builders in the space who've worked tirelessly to bring good governance to protocols for the last five years.

We're lucky to have them continue their mission at Agora!

The way to increase the price of Ethereum is to build and use apps on Ethereum.
Incredibly clear articulation of why we must drive for decentralization for crypto projects!

With the fight for crypto’s existence subsiding, it’s time to focus on crypto's purpose: decentralization.

Decentralization is at the heart of what makes crypto worthwhile. But if we don't properly incentivize and enshrine it in law, we'll lose it.

$10 USDC to whoever can find me a chart of miles of fiber optics cables in existing over the last 50 years.

Y axis: some measure of how much cable exists
X axis: time

What i'm trying to illustrate is the effect the dot com bubble had on infra build out
1st cycle: omg price go up!

2nd cycle: i'm too wise to care about price

3rd cycle: have a thesis on the opportunities that arise when price go up, and a plan to seize the moment

We realized early on at Agora that good governance starts with your airdrop set up. How you frame your token and how you seed the initial delegates has repercussions for years to come

That's why we're introducing 🪂 Airdrops with Agora 🪂

gm thanks for the doing the hard work of charting a path here! a few questions:

1. what kind of tax obligations should the DAO expect? would auction revenue be taxable? And will the DAO owe any back taxes?

2. how will sanctions checks work for bidders in practice? typically this involves KYC, but the post seems to suggest that the check can be done post hoc via chainalysis? If so, what happens if we find that a bidder was in fact a sanctioned entity?

3. have we considered removing the fork mechanism and NOT replacing it with a refund? the currently proposed refund mechanism means that the DAO is effectively extending downwards price protection to bidders
sales is good for the founder soul

i don't really understand the string of founder-only acquisitions that have been happening lately in the AI world.

isn't this basically the acquirer saying: 'hey here's a dumptruck full of cash for you to fuck over your investors and employees'
