Not really. I have 2 ledgers, but I hardly use them, just keep a bit of a stash there. I do worry about wallet security a lot, but don't do enough about it IMO :D. Also it's hard. Like ok I can only keep my PK on a piece of paper, but it's so easy to lose it. I have one of those etched metal plates with seed, but what if someone finds it in my apartement? Password managers are also not safe as we know from LastPass fiasco. So it takes a lot of effort to be safe sadly. The only things I do is I have like 6 - 7 wallets that I use for different things, and I keep my private keys on one of those Kingston encrypted usb drives

Thanks to a reddit post I've seen few weeks ago where someone got a web3 job offer with similar tool, also to help translating it in real time, and the guy's wallet got drained after he installed it

Stay safe out there. This "VC" tried to make us install some dodgy AI video conference app, presumably for translation, but this is definitely a wallet drainer

Deal. I'll message you when I get to it. We have few important releases to ship soon, so most likely won't be able to justify this very very soon, unless I get one of those night-coding sessions and flow state

Ok well if this is the case then huge respect to them. Also for making a profit and re-investing it into their following titles. A lot of web3 companies are more like startups though, just friends try to make something cool, and it's very fast moving and changing environment. If you move slow in this industry, by the time you have something decent to ship that you built in your spare time with no investment, the whole meta and trend will change 10 times. And if you did manage to build something relevant and well received on time, you can't sustain it without the dreaded "marketing" and community building, and this requires a lot of time, labour, luck and skill. It's possible to create good web3 game from grounds with no help, and there's some chance you can get to profitability before you burn out and get in debt, but the chance is very slim and investment would help. I think the bigger problem is the toxic VCs that don't care about your product, push you to launch token asap and then dump on you.

Hm, maybe not directly for wow, but I am guessing the hierarchy of who owns what etc was already quite complex with few layers of holding companies like Vivendi etc? I didn't read the book though so have very surface level pop-knowledge of it. But I am sure they were well founded and supported financially by that time, and definitely not a startup. You can't build anything with a team of 200 for 3 years without investments of some sort

You don't think Blizzard had VCs by that time? :D after years of well recieved games like diablo and warcraft 3...

Discovered edgeDB thanks to this post. Hmm sounds very intriguing indeed. So instead of an ORM layer on top of say postgesql, it's a database with all the modern QOL bells-and-whistles built in 🤔

I had been skeptical for a long time for various reasons, but once I reached the point where using a third-party service made sense, I gave it a try and was really impressed. Their customer support on Slack was a pivotal factor, I think. I was on the fence, essentially forcing myself to give it a shot and ready to abandon the idea if things didn’t go smoothly. However, the team at Privy was so helpful and friendly that it made the decision super easy from there.

This week I added bunch of improvements to /skybreach game on @base - Guest login (thanks @privy) - Demo Mode - Coinbase Commerce and Moonpay onramp when not enough funds to mint a character (thanks @privy again) - Created survey on Tally and embedded it on the game page to gather player feedback (we got 30 submissions which was very helpful to plan ahead) - Started replacing graphql with drizzle orm and trpc for direct postgresql queries (preparing for global leaderboard feature) - Testing new content (new enemies, new rooms etc - should go live in few days we think)

100% this. I don't know the ultimate solution to this, but have few ideas. 1: /ggquest, there are quite a lot of web3 gaming "quests as a service" solutions now, but I like ggquest because it focuses on the onchain data to validate achievements. This can work with any game as you offload the reward/incentive part to external service and the achievement-like system feels familiar to any gamer too 2: Leaderboard - this is what we did for /skybreach Dungeons. So the current game mode plays just like any traditional roguelike game. But at the end, if you finished the dungeon, you sign "finish" tx. This gives you your character NFT back + some rewards, but also stores your results on-chain (enemies killed, totalScore, time took to finish and some others). Then each dungeon has a leaderboard where at the end of the dungeon quest (7 days), anyone in top10 either by playTime or topScore can claim their rewards. If we add AA and gasless transactions here, then player don't even need to know that it's a web3 game

Sure. You are right, the ux issue I described is only an issue in particular slice of use cases. Still super cool feature, especially in cases where transactions are sent by the server, just need user to sign typed data to validate that it's him, but server's PK would send tx and pay for everything

Pretty egregious security vulnerability affecting Arc Browser. Be careful out there. https://x.com/xyz3va/status/1836903485469503657 https://kibty.town/blog/arc/
