Re:Why hasn't there been a new major sports league? on Saturday November 08, 2025 @10:16AM (#45857186)
Indoor football (soccer) leagues like the Kings League and Baller League have significant potential to become major players.

They are reported to generate between 50 and 100 million in revenue per season already.

I'm using DNS66 on Android to block ads at the DNS level. I wouldn't browse on mobile without it.

While I agree with the notion of the article, please stop calling gifted, driven, and non-conforming people "weird nerds." Both terms have negative connotations.

Posterous introduced this 'Post by Email' concept. Really loved the simplicity of it.

ChatGPT and Discord communities replaced SO for me. It's way faster to get answers.
I once reported an API bug to LinkedIn.

Received an email that I initially thought was a thank you note, but it turned out to be about my avatar (a stylized animal picture) being removed.

Darknet Diaries is my favorite podcast. (darknetdiaries.com)
I would appreciate an archive of hicetnunc.xyz OG NFTs as well.

Re:Ask HN: What's the best Linux distro for fullstack development? on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @04:50PM (#28462883)
I'm pretty happy with Ubuntu for developing. It's a much better experience than Windows 10.
ReactOS https://reactos.org "Imagine running your favorite Windows applications and drivers in an open-source environment you can trust. That's the mission of ReactOS!"
Did you try to contact the platform yet? They should be able to take it down.

Congrats on the launch! Is the code open source?
Re:The NFT market bubble has popped? on Thursday June 03, 2021 @06:47AM (#27379346)
At least on hicetnunc (art focus) it is. You can set your royalties to 10-25 percent of future sales.
Re:The NFT market bubble has popped? on Thursday June 03, 2021 @06:43AM (#27379322)
Interesting, please share your sources.
Re:The NFT market bubble has popped? on Thursday June 03, 2021 @06:23AM (#27379222)
Exactly. The media is all about the money aspect of NFTs. There is much more to it. At least in the art world.
Re:The NFT market bubble has popped? on Thursday June 03, 2021 @06:17AM (#27379193)
Artist share their work on Instagram, Tumblr, and tons of other social networks for free. Why do they do this? That doesn't make any more sense either.

About your question: hicetnunc.xyz is basically like Instagram but with an easy option to support the artist by buying their creations directly from them as a NFT. They can showcase their creations, get discovered, and make some money on top.

Re:The NFT market bubble has popped? on Thursday June 03, 2021 @05:37AM (#27378933)
I'm an artist and collector on hicetnunc.xyz. The culture is totally different there and most artists aren't there to make a quick buck.
Re:The NFT market bubble has popped? on Thursday June 03, 2021 @05:34AM (#27378908)
One reasons could be that Ethereum gas fees for minting a piece are extremely high at the moment.

Tezos ($xtz) based platforms such as https://www.hicetnunc.xyz are thriving. The fees are next to nothing - especially compared to current alternatives.

Mobile internet in Germany.
I'm wondering how they got the initial mentors from the well known companies on board. Is it good connections or some "quid pro quo" deal?
Re:Ask HN: Best way for SEO to publish blog posts on Thursday May 13, 2021 @02:05PM (#27145242)
In most cases /blog is a lot easier and flexible to setup and manage.

You could also forward your root (example.com) to example.com/blog if you don't need one.
