Agree 100%. I want to be able to see how many actions it took me. And it would be good if it were possible to see how well I'm doing compared to other humans, i.e. what is my percentile.

EXACTLY! We want insiders to participate in prediction markets and profit!

I'm willing to help fund this if the creator is interested. I sent him an email.

Have you considered making probabilistic Chess or Go? One way to do it is before each move a coin is flipped to decide who’s turn it is.

Ethereum is not controlled by Vitalik. Have you actually looked in to how decisions in Ethereum are made?

Yes, it’s all about the consensus of majority of the nodes! Not miners.

The way I think about it is imagine the circle in the middle is very tiny compared to the circle that rolls.

It does if the government is not involved.

The second elevator goes to floor 1, then the first goes to floor 2. Task accomplished, no?

In the scenario where they are shot that you described, it is still better to switch!

What we are currently doing by using links is essentially saying “go to the library, 4th floor, 10th shelf, 5th book from the left” when sending a link. What we should be doing is saying “go to the library and the find the Lord of the Rings book”

Ethereum is a better choice because no impact on climate change and it’s more secure. Also smart contracts make it more convenient to store information. You can build a contract that allows anyone to publish a hash in 5 minutes. You could have a map from address to an append only list of hashes. Anyone who calls the publish(bytes32 hash) function just adds to their own list.

Links in general are bad. We need to switch to using content based addresses. Something like IPFS (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-addressable_storage)

There’s a pretty cool trinity audio bot that converts any Twitter thread into audio: https://twitter.com/trinityaudiobot/status/16131660716907970...

Vitalik recently wrote a great article about this here: https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/12/05/excited.html

The mechanism should also include the possibility of figuring out the optimal venue size in advance. I’m not sure what’s the right way to modify it in order to accomplish this goal.

Also, if the artist doesn’t want to maximize their profits through this auction mechanism, the extra money received should be donated to charity.

The process needs to be modified slightly. Everyone should end up paying the same amount for the ticket in the end. Those who bought early should not be penalized. When the the last ticket is sold, everyone should pay the same price as the last ticket. So when you buy early, you are just indicating the Maximum price you are willing to pay.

There should also be an option to automatically place a bid once the price reaches a certain level.

That’s the most fair way to auction off a bunch of identical things.

Another modification I would add to this is that let’s say 20% of the tickets should be sold for very cheap using a lottery system. So that not only the richest people could go to the concert.
