DeFi

Haha, in February of 2020 I launched ponzi.finance, which had some people playing with it early on, but was mostly dead. Out of nowhere, about a month ago, someone dropped some 0.11 ETH in, presumably to try to extract the remaining funds sitting in it, and just now someone dropped over 10 ETH, presumably to extract the other funds 😄

Looks like the fun tug of war game that I envisioned all those years ago is finally happening. Some pretty crazy maneuvers are possible, and now with $25k in the pot, we'll see what happens.

this reminds me a bit of a game described in the paradigm fellowship application this year.

the paradigm game starts with a pot of 1000 eth and anyone can make a bid of 1 eth, which gets added to the pot. if no one bids for ten blocks, the last bidder wins.

very interested to hear your thoughts on how this game might play out
