Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

They're also (indirectly) competing with Umamusume: Pretty Derby, which offers zero P2E elements, but does offer horse waifus and actual entertainment value. Needless to say, we both know who's winning this particular fight for people's cash.
It'd arguably be helpful if the caregivers are helping themselves to the stash, but I doubt there's anything stopping then from BSing the blockchain, too.
Yeah that "they can just input bs" has always been the whole issue with those whole logging bit on the blockchain stuff. Esp considering the costs and risk of implementing a thing like this and the low costs of normal existing logging I dont see how this could ever become mainstream viable. (And that is ignoring the ease of use).
It's almost as if people don't want to spend money on bland low-poly 3D models of horses and would instead prefer waifu art with surprisingly intricate character design that I definitely do not know anything about*
*I actually do not, but for the bit, pretend that I do and am being defensive
I can honestly say that I have never played Umamusume Pretty Derby ^because^ ^on^ ^my^ ^PC^ ^the^ ^sound^ ^keeps^ ^cutting^ ^out^ ^and^ ^the^ ^cutscenes^ ^don't^ ^play^ ^which^ ^greatly^ ^disappointed^ ^me.^
