Here's a timelapse of the entire event: [this video] I found this whole thing to be incredibly fascinating. It's pretty amazing to see how everyone just sort of spontaneously banded together to create little works of art on the board which they could never have made on their own. Everytime I watch the timelapse I notice something new. It's also interesting to note that because the impact of any individual user on the board was pretty limited (you could only place one pixel every 5 minutes, and even then there was no guarantee the first pixel you placed wouldn't be overwritten by someone else before you were even allowed to place another), every significant piece of artwork on there had tens or ev

Did anyone note the similarity to playing Go / Weiqi? Watching [0] the blue corner expanded masssively and then getting eaten from within somehow reminds me of all of the complexities of playing go when someone can place stones anywhere in your territory. [0]: [this video]

At the moment, there's not much that is game like. I was thinking that if you had many people claiming tokens, then you might have factions that wanted to land grab from each other. (Similar to what happened when Reddit did something similar w/ /r/place: [this video] )

>Ethereum is a single core global virtual computer with much less power than a typical Raspberry Pi that is available to anyone with access to an internet All analogies are incomplete and imperfect but I'd say a more accurate mental model would be something like this: Ethereum is like a global database _with_ stored procedures . With this analogy, the database component would map to the blockchain : [LINK] The stored procedure language would map to the Ethereum programming language Solidity . Computers worldwide run stored procedures to decide how to write the next block(s) in the database. (Consensus.) Embedded in the above is the collective psychology and incentives that attract humans to

I remember when "place" happened. It was a collaborative art project where for 72 hours users could place a single colored "pixel" on a blank canvas then had to wait 5 minutes before they could place another. Communities formed plans, and battles for space on the canvas were fought. Given the freedom to create something unique and beautiful together what did reddit ultimately come up with? Mostly a collection of corporate logos and copyrighted characters along with memes and flags. (see [this video] ) "Hordes of fanboyism" seems fair.
