I’m excited to announce @a16zcrypto is leading the $9M Series A round in /daylightenergy! 🔆 Daylight is building a decentralized protocol to fund & coordinate distributed energy resources. Daylight will initially sell distributed energy resource (DER) data to energy companies. It plans to enable anyone to build a virtual power plant, with access to info about DERs & the ability to control their deployment. Imagine a home with solar panels, an electric vehicle battery, & a smart thermostat. Daylight lets the homeowner capture & sell data from those devices to energy companies to better manage the grid. Co-founder & CEO @jasonbadeaux is a leading expert on decentralized network design for the physical world. Along with co-founders @powertrader and Udit Patel, they've built a crack team of energy grid operators, smart contract engineers, and domain experts. We’re thrilled to help Daylight build a better & more decentralized energy grid! https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/investing-in-daylight/

This sounds like something that has a lot of potential.

Don’t know for sure, I’m not speculating on that. I just had a couple cards from Bundesliga 2 bought at the end of the season for trading which went up a bit together with the early access cards.

Kobel at Dortmund went down a bit. No idea why, maybe overpriced to start with. Not really under the radar but should be a solid long-term pick. Could also be a small investment ahead of the Champions early access launch.

Zetterer is undisputed at Bremen and they were pretty solid in the second half of the season and didn’t have many changes now. Should be a solid midfield team with upside in a few games.

Isn’t that like asking what cloud service some web2 application is using?

It’s debatable whether you’d want them to be efficient though since they’d be up against half the country.

I don’t say there are no benefits, but I think it would be hard to convince potential users that those benefits are more than marginal. And few people would bother to switch from something that kind of works to something new for ‘almost the same, but a little better’.

Agreed with the sentiment, but the perception of 'crypto' is not exactly positive either. Neither are memecoins a particularly noteworthy use case that could convince non-crypto natives.

Sounds like a great idea in theory, but why would people switch from LinkedIn for something that may not have many benefits for the individual user? And by extension, how do you get to a network effect?

Yes!!! I love it! (Although Waka Flocka Flame was mentioned a bit too often in the most recent one. 😅 )

Is there any good reason why a driverless car has to look like a regular car? It's not like there needs to be a steering wheel for example.

Thanks! I got some 32-year-old midfielder from Austria in the box. Not quite what I can use in my gallery but a win's a win... 🙂

Had a look at the terms. It’s for completely new players. Wouldn’t have made much sense otherwise.

This one is really worth a try, great browser features which are very specific for web3 applications.
