Strange behavior on the Ropsten chat channel
from BlockchainGandalf Hosted by Keir Finlow-Bates
If this video title isn't the antithesis of clickbait, then I don't know what is. But the point of this video is wider than just to comment on some quirky behaviour on a geeky chat channel in the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Internet. There's a platform called Gitter, which designed as a place for software developers to go to chat. And there's a channel on that platform for the Ropsten Ethereum test network. Except the people on that platform don't chat. They post their wallet addresses. Endlessly. Even though this achieves nothing, and even though there are a couple of us there who point out regularly that it achieves nothing. In this video I discuss where this bizarre behaviour might be coming from, and at the end I talk about how similar things happen in other areas of life.
