Has anyone read any good analysis of the Yuga Labs OtherSide Deeds NFT market? My Koda deed and another deed with v rare mineral in it have started to attract unsolicited high bids and I'm noticing high floors for them. Wondering if that's a sign I should hold or if I should get out?

mnemonichq.com - what's "best" depends on what you really need. At Mnemonic we've worked really hard to have perhaps the highest coverage of data, aiming for full 'ground truth'. The growing ML insights are especially unique based on the team's ML background. If you are building something I'd love to know more!

I'm being pedantic here, but in any e2e communication there are 2 (or more) users involved and only the user running Beeper is informed. If I'm chatting with you Eric via Signal I'm assuming you're receiving the comms e2e down to the native app on your device. I have no way of knowing you're using Beeper, and it's not

I get it and if you want to provide the functionality you want to offer then there has to be some compromise. Personally I'm a huge proponent of e2e, even if I'm chatting with my wife to check what groceries we need from the store. And the integrity of that encrypted path breaks with this model. I'm sure others are ok

The issue is that it breaks e2e because they host the receiving endpoints and federate them through to the local app. That frustrates me not only because it's not obvious to non-technical users but I, on the other side of the e2e messaging interaction, wrongly assume our communication is protected.

Many of us use Android, so while you only have an iOS mobile app that would have locked a lot of people out. I'm not normal but I prefer to use social media on laptop, mostly because I hate typing on phones.

NFT utility has a problem: discovery. How can I keep track of my NFT's utility?

Crypto wallets are going to look VERY different in 2 years time than they do today. It's pretty clear these will become customer engagement platforms rather than just lightweight raw utility driven apps that they are today. Who is working on this? Love to chat/invest!

Less than 24hrs on FC and I'm surprised at the amount of non-Web3 content on here. Longterm this will only win if there's broad content but early on I just assumed folks would be hyper-focused on the shared interest that got us all on here in the first place.
