Hello! Does anybody know any nice blogpost that contains a summary of the current development of crypto and dapps? Any opinion on ICOs and their underlying value? Thanks :)
I was thinking about doing an ask HN - asking if anyone knows of some ways to:
have a way for site visitors to donate crypto (and maybe other eg paypal, etc) - to a bucket..
and have that bucket setup with some if then rules to do things like auto-send money every month to a hosting company, if at-end-of-month - bucket has over 1k - send %30 to x charity, send 30% to whatever coin address..
I did some searches via the big engines and was fining mainly the big players that have interest in doling out info outside the desired silos it seemed.
I don't know of any service but if you were to implement it, it's a cool small side/learning project. You can execute this logic either on-chain (smart contract) or off-chain (any programming language) or both. Here are some pointers:
Crypto (on-chain): This is pretty straightforward with a smart contract. The only thing is that you have to call your contract at the end of every month (that can be setup with a cron off-chain). The alternative is to offer a bounty for someone to make that call for you but you must find a way to advertise this bounty.
Non-crypto (off-chain): use PayPal/whatever api on a cron
Non-crypto (on-chain): You need to look for Paypal/whatever oracles (if there are any) or create your own
Crypto (off-chain): use a blockchain api and connect to a hosted node (eg infura) or run your own
Forgive me, but this question sounds anachronistic. E.g. ICO is hardly a thing anymore. There are many ways to look at this: cryptography, engineering, financial, social, legal. Each one of these areas is so rich with new developments and subtleties that no one person can draw even an accurate high-level picture of the whole field.
