real world use case for Algorand

Developer/Tech

Email < Gmail < FairInbox

typically, ppl do not publish their email address (gmail/dm) openly, as the incoming msgs would flood your inbox, rendering it almost useless

in a FairInbox, each msg comes with currency attached, making it a market driven inbox

just released: https://fairinbox.io

pls try!

send msgs to each other (using Algorand addresses) with coins attached

it uses Pera, which does *not work on mobile* (for webapps) ~ i have written them to solve this

I am doxxed:

grant receiver from the foundation: e.g. https://algoexplorer.io/tx/XBCARVWNPWKGHAFIN2ZOMNZJZAWLS5NNRWIMYZFHVBRWUNS7BK5A

speaker @ Decipher: https://youtu.be/NK_b5_ak9JY

another podcast: https://youtu.be/aHJuAPIYm4Q

src: https://github.com/1m1-github/FairInbox

theory white paper: https://github.com/1m1-github/FairMarket/blob/main/whitepaper/FairMarket.pdf

I also have a PR open that can super-power the AVM: https://github.com/algorandfoundation/specs/pull/79

**token: no token is traded for this dApp! (yet)**

I have put lots of effort into this ~ its a real world use case ~ in theory, everyone should publish their own Algorand address to be used with FairInbox ~ its an inbox that respects your time

mods: I sent you msgs asking to allow me to post this ~ pls do not take it down ~ else what is the point of me working and creating value if I cannot tell anyone about it

EDIT: try to send me a msg to 2I2IXTP67KSNJ5FQXHUJP5WZBX2JTFYEBVTBYFF3UUJ3SQKXSZ3QHZNNPY

generally / publish your own account address somewhere so people can send you msgs to your fairinbox.io

EDIT2: a demo: https://youtu.be/qu6TXRGHSr8

EDIT3: added a "(yet)" to the token ~ to not seem misleading ~ i have sofar never released a token for trading because i wanted to make it perfectly fair, which is only possible with a balancer.fi style treasury (i call it FairTreasury), which cannot exist on Algorand, unless the AVM is improved ~ perhaps i will go for a slightly less than perfect token trading launch, as all other projects have ~ reduce the burden of my perfectionism, so to speak

How does Algorand stand against the other L1 bockchains and why is it so far down on the list after so much time? Radix, a new blockchain, that hasn't even released smart contract capability is close to Algorand. Is it a marketing problem?

Whale buys 430m Algorand

News

Now I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but this is 4.3% of the total max supply of Algo, all accumulated this year.

https://twitter.com/Algofan1/status/1666118403898343426?s=20

We’re at or near the bottom, nearly at an all time low. We’ve spent the bear market building, state proofs, faster finality, 6000 true tps, Algo kit UX, one click nodes and London Bridge to ETH nearly complete…. We shouldn’t really see these prices. It’s the best tech out there.

It feels like a concerted effort has been made to push this coin low. SEC obviously making spurious claims which will never see court, the mysterious myAlgo hack that nobody can see a reason for.

I think some powerful people are up to something on Algo. I think we turn a corner soon and we turn it in a big way. Probably when xrp wins its case and secondary sales are deemed to not be securities- Algo will have every right to ask to be removed from the cases in Binance and bittrex- as I’m sure the plaintiffs will…

I’m buying more.

The current state of algorand

Megathread

The tech is superb - i will not waste time on explaining this and will instead focus on what I believe is the main problem.

The problem

I believe that if you want to have good marketing in a cryptocurrency space then your marketing needs to be vastly different than in other spaces. While for most marketing positions the most important thing is to sign a deal with a big company, in crypto this doesn't matter that much because the space is still in speculation phase (well it does if you already have a big community to take advantage of such deal and show other companies that the deal was good for that company). I believe that we don't necessarily need big companies using algorand, that can (and probably should) come later (otherwise other big companies will see that the ones who are using algorand have no traffic and will hesitate to decide to go with algorand) but instead need to grow the community first.

Improvement 1

To grow the community one needs interaction. People love listening and interacting with "leaders" of the project (cardano has Charles, solana has Anatoly etc). Algorand's most obvious "leader" is Silvio, he could take up this role (who doesn't love listening to him) but it doesn't seem like he wants to. He's relying on others to grow the community when he has the highest chance to do it and is risking that his project never gains traction among people. I'm afraid he underestimates the importance of having a true leader to bootstrap the community. To me it feels like algorand is fighting a war without a leader, and while it's theoretically possible to win it's unlikely, around 10^-18 - sorry, I had to. Having a leader to bootstrap the community is therefore essential, decentralization in that aspect comes naturally with time.

Improvement 2

People love periodic updates from their favorite leaders, algorand has none of that (at least not in a structured way). John should be making monthly progress update videos on what's going on with the tech in foundation (algokit, metamask etc), Jess should do the same for marketing. Algorand inc should ofc do the same for tech side. That way people would have a way to follow algorand's progress in a nice and quick way (nowadays you need to follow many twitter accounts, watch interviews etc), so similar to how cardano has their 360. There are several advantages of this:

it creates hype and periodic expectations
listener feels like an important part of the community (it simulates a 1 on 1 conversation so the listener feels like the information has been made for him, which is true, and it makes him feel great)
continuous stream of progress/news information
people gain trust and get more attached to the project

This would help algo way more than bicycles, drones, chess or similar things combined and for far less money.

Improvement 3

The AMA's need improvement. I'm following quite a bit of algorand people on Twitter and I always miss the time to ask questions (I'm guessing that either the message is not spread enough or the window for questions is too short). So far I've only seen reddit AMA's, which are fine, but video interaction is what creates bonds between algorand team and algorand community (explained above). To me it currently feels like algorand team and algorand community are two disconnected groups.

Improvement 4

Algorand Inc and Algorand Foundation should, from time to time, offer themselves to join a podcast/show of people who put the most amount of work and deliver quality material to the algorand community. This can be seen as a reward from the algorand team to algorand promoters (and community as a whole since the result is a public video) which would encourage them to continue delivering quality material and also build bonds and a feel of appreciation. I believe John did that once and I remember content creator really appreciating it (the viewers also appreciate such gestures).

I'm a tech person who loves algorand because to me it seems like it's the best smart contract platform, so I'll keep supporting it. The reality is that 99.9% of cryptocurrency community don't understand the basics of blockchain tech (they shouldn't have to!) and without offering them periodic structured videos of progress/goals they have no reason to join algorand and no bond is created for people to stay in it.

These are not facts, it's just my current view on what can be improved. I apologize if you think like reading this wall was a waste of your time.

Lastly, I think algorand community mostly consists of very nice people - probably because it's still small but who cares, kudos to all of you. Go Algorand!

Algorand Regret and Acceptance

General

Like many people here, I’m upset with the price. Algorand has been one of the worst cryptos the past few months. And yes, I do feel some regret buying it.

I tried to “do my own research” and picked one alt coin to invest in. I decided on Algorand because of the amazing tech, promising partnerships, and super smooth user experience. The problem is: none of that matters! All that matters is network effects/community and Big Money. And both of those are basically impossible to predict. We don’t know which alt coin or meme coin will gather a massive community and take off. And we don’t know which coin some billionaire will decide to back next. All we can do is speculate which coin could get support…and it is honestly gambling. Coins in the top 50 are likely much safer than micro cap coins in the top 500, but it’s still just guessing which one will do best.

Thankfully my largest positions are in BTC and ETH. Those already have network effects, Big Money, and community so there is no guessing required. But picking alt coins is simply a gamble at this point.

Will Algorand bounce back? Yeah probably if there is another bull run. Even mostly dead coins did a solid 2 or 3x last run. So many of us could break even if we hold. But we may not get any kind of moonshot like we would if we picked other alt coins.

I hope I’m wrong and algo takes off someday. I am sticking with algo for the rest of 2023 and I’m comfortable with that risk. But after that it’s btc and eth only for me.

Despite my regret of betting on the wrong horse, I’ve come to a level of acceptance though. I made a bet and it doesn’t appear to have worked out. Thankfully I haven’t lose more than I can afford to lose and it’s certainly been a learning experience.

Cheers all 🍻

Beta Launch of Metapost: decentralized news and discussion boards built on Algorand

General

Hello Algorand Community!

I hope everyone is doing well, despite the prolonged bear market :)

Recent events on Reddit have inspired me to resurrect a side project I've intermittently worked on for over a year: a 100% decentralized version of Reddit, running on the Algorand blockchain.

If you're familiar with platforms like Reddit or Hacker News, Metapost will feel very familiar to you. The key difference is that all data is stored on the blockchain, rendering it resistant to censorship and ensuring it will remain available to everyone forever. Metapost also supports comments, upvotes, user-created and moderated boards, and it rewards users for interacting with the platform by distributing a token. More features like mobile support, threaded comments, image posts and better moderation tools are on the roadmap.

While Algorand is an excellent platform for DeFi, its fast and cheap transactions make it an excellent choice for other types of decentralized apps as well. Metapost is very much an experiment in what Web3 could enable in the future.

I would be grateful if you could give it a try: https://metapost.io/

Please keep in mind that the website is still under active development. The user interface needs some polish, a lot of functionalities are yet to be added, and you may run into occasional bugs.
