Hey I actually created something like this when I was once curious. Its called nanotimestamps

I found it when I realized that nano had 0 fees and I realized that by using a nano vanity address generator, I can embed data into a series of transactions and then basically embed data into the chain (for free) since there is 0 gas fees

Now I created it as a way of getting timestamps of any data onto the chain but you can embed any information and create c2c's on top of that

There is also a way that I vibe coded once to embed data directly into the vanity address and so you can lose 10^-32 nano or basically negligble which is more efficient as well

If you have any questions, I'd love to answer (also even if I like the tech, I think that crypto's fundamentally really really volatile and I prefer things like index funds being honest)

Cool! I wasn't aware of nano; your point about the gas fees is really compelling, as there's a lot of stuff I've wanted to try building on Ethereum et al that I just haven't done because I can't get over the hurdle of paying transaction costs lol.

At the risk of derailing the thread, I agree. However, I think "tokenization" is probably crypto's killer app if the messy problem of legal finality rectifying assets on the blockchain with their real-world counterparts can be solved. I touched upon this in a separate post on my blog.

Oh yeah another point, see my other comment as well but if you need to start with nano, all you need is a faucet which you can get for literally free and that's all you need for you to experiment with my project.

You really don't need to spend any money at all and that's actually how I built it. I recommend you to contact me if you wish to run it locally for experiments purposes as it requires bao and nano-vanity-generator, you can take the look at the code

Also I would like to disclose that the code is AI generated. I have no expertise in this field but I found this idea fascinating and saw nobody doing it so did it. But still, I am just proud of my idea and I get good reception whenever I mention this idea (which is quite a lot, tbh I am proud of it a little) so yeah, I love talking about this project's idea fascinating as well and I have expanded upon this work privately to even build ways of creating ones own tokens on top of nano etc. but creating wallet etc. and more abstractions felt wrong and I just wanted to prove it was possible

To be honest, you creating a c2 server on hinge was similar to this feeling of "proving" as well.

To me, its just that if I can prove something, then I can figure out the practical uses of it later (like discussing it right now) etc.

I guess we both are similar in the "proving" way reading your article which is nice to hear, Let me know if you have any questions as I would love to answer!

No its not, I have the domain nanotimestamps.org but its not really doing much (its called laziness from my side)

Here you go! (the video starts as a gif but there is also a .mp4)

Ended up finding that the best way to upload videos is probably github wiki pages

https://github.com/SerJaimeLannister/nanotimestamp/wiki

So let me know how you like this project, Y'know making this project had to make me build some abstractions which you might be interested to look at as well and could be used for multiple purposes.

Create an issue in my github repo if you want to talk to me if you have any questions as well and I would love to answer there and here as well if you wish! Glad my project could be of interest to ya! If you have any use cases for my project, then let me know as well

have a nice day! Looking forward to talk to ya

If you want the Ethereum VM but with lower tx costs, try one of the L2s.

[mattwiese]

Any L2 you'd recommend? The last time I dipped my toe in that world I only bothered with L1s like Ethereum, Solana, etc.

[ryanjshaw]

Have a look at L2BEAT - any L2 EVM in the top 10 is fine (disclosure: I work for an L2). Check their native token price to understand gas price and onboarding complexity. Some L2s use ETH bridged from Ethereum rather than a native token.

[Imustaskforhelp]

If you are interested in cheap L1's which aren't restricted like nano, I can recommend stellar, (sei?) etc. although these are L1's

If you are interested in L2's, polygon's cheap as well fwiw

[qingcharles]

+1 for Polygon. Very cheap.
