  YC Insights. (@Aiagent_s) reported 4 minutes ago

  March 23, 2018. Dropbox IPOs on NASDAQ. Surges 40%+ day one. Market cap: $12B First YC company ever to go public. Drew still owned 30%. The real lesson: both rejections were right. Both made the company better. Treat each rejection as a specific diagnosis. Then fix that specific thing.

  Then the conversation took a turn. The technician pulled up Activity Monitor and showed him something: 23 apps were running in the background that the customer didn't have open. Adobe Creative Cloud. Spotify. Slack. Microsoft AutoUpdate. Dropbox. Google Drive sync. Three different "helper" apps installed during printer setup years ago. Each one was consuming small amounts of CPU, RAM, and battery cycles 24/7. The technician's words: "Your MacBook isn't slow because it's old. It's slow because it's running 23 jobs nobody hired it to do." System Settings → General → Login Items → look at the lists under both tabs → remove anything that doesn't need to launch automatically. The customer removed 18 of them on the spot.

  Walrus 🦭 and Walrus Memory explained in a lay man's understanding. Let's dive in: 1. What is" Walrus🦭" ?? Firstly, I want you to think of Walrus as a gaint decentralised hard drive built on Sui protocol or ecosystem. Walrus is trying to become the decentralized version of cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3, but built for Web3. In a simple analogy, think of it like this; Google Drive vs Walrus With Google Drive, your files are stored on Google's servers and Google controls the storage. If Google removes a file or service, you're dependent on them. But, With Walrus🦭 it's a different case as your files are split into many pieces. Those pieces are stored across many independent storage providers in a cheap manner as no single company controls all of your data. And the most fascinating thing is as long as enough storage providers remain online, your files can be recovered whenever you want. 2. What is "Walrus memory"?? In plain English, Walrus memory is simply the storage space used to keep data on the Walrus network. That data can be:Images, Videos, Documents, NFT media, AI datasets, Website files, Backups etc. Why does it matter? Imagine a viral meme image on Sui. Normally, the blockchain only stores a reference to the image because storing the image itself would be too expensive. Most blockchains are good at storing transactions but terrible at storing large files. @WalrusProtocol is designed to store large amounts of data cheaply while remaining decentralized. ~BlazCares

  You might not believe it, but it is in fact happening, because it increases the cost, time, and difficulty of running a node. "Large" is a matter of opinion, but is clearly a quantity which would add up over time and have an impact. Why don't you want nodes to be as easy to run for people as possible, so that the maximum number of people can participate in the network, making it more valuable and more resilient? Why is that not something you want, to the extent that you will spend time arguing against it? What exactly is your stake in nodes being more difficult to run than they need to be? Why don't you care about spam? Why don't you care that it obviously, as it does everywhere it exists, degrades the quality of the thing being used? Why do think bitcoin will just be fine and go on forever while watching it transform into a poor imitation of dropbox? Why would anyone interested in bitcoin as money continue to use it when it becomes more and more infested with non-monetary data? Why don't you care about the possibility of truly bad stuff ending up on chain until the end of time? Do you think Satoshi made a mistake? Should he have created "Bitdata" instead? Do we not need to fix the world's money? You good with USD or whatever else is inflating away to nothing? So many questions that will never be answered...

  track back to just over a year to now. i'd built an automated ecommerce flow that took a whole store end to end. seo would research trends, products, and map those into .js scripts which would launch prompts that read those research files. that would feed an image gen prompt which created designs, set to specific standard. i'd generate them, and then ANOTHER prompt, would check the images, score them with a criteria, and either move them to an accepted folder, or move them to an archive folder. the accepted folders, would automatically fire a script which would open photoshop, map the image to smart layers, in a 'product shot' template i'd made, and then export all of the final product shots to another folder, and then exported the flat designs which would be used for the products. another script took the product images, did visual lookups, generated all product descriptions, renamed the images and generated the seo text. it ran optimizations locally via a jpegoptim and oxipng script. it then uploaded them to dropbox, and via API, would generate a dropbox link map. i had one barebones csv template, which i'd run a ps1 script through to map json files into the csv rows, and insert the dropbox link map. all my images, links, followed the exact same slugs, so it turned 2 hours of manual work into a 5 second bulk rename and insert. it then converted that csv into json, which then itself converted that json into ld-json for product rich listings. ai would write the product description based on a dataseo keywords, and googletrends json file that would run on every product type. collecting keywords for that specific product. it also formed it around brand profiles, copy guides and other things. this was sonnet 3 days, GPT 4.0 days, and it STILL wrote great copy when it had the right guidance. in the .js file, i'd replace all em dashes with a hyphen if they ever appeared. i built a custom product uploader, built my own php plugin which synced to local .js files and connected via rest. it was (and still is) one of the best wc product uploaders that exist, as it completely resets filterlookups only for that product, and is lightning fast because i upload it directly into woocommerce rows from json. no importers, no wordpress malarkey, or WC rest needed. it was 50x faster than wc's own CSV import. the images would be uploaded via ftp, and then on detection, would sync those to the media library, and i'd upload the image meta from the seo run, so they all had captions/alt text etc. it took what would be 3-5 hours of manual work per product, and congested it into a 2 minute image to fully live product system. after that, i'd export sales data, the ai was constantly learning, sales data feeding back to files, which would then teach the ai what products work, what doesn't. what copy worked, what copy didn't. that would then flow back into the original source files which told the ai what images to gen and what products to launch. all of it was local on my pc. i wasn't selling an saas. it was just something that worked for my very particular setup. the thing about it is; i built that mostly with GPT 4.0 and a little bit of 3.5! mostly copy and pasting code manually from the chats in chatGPT. all the plugins, the php, everything. then some of it got improved inside vscode back on the old original copilot plans, when $10 used to last you an entire month of none stop coding. this was before n8n, before agents were even a thing. all of that I built very specifically for myself, local, syncing folder to folder, json file to json file. python scripts watching files, and .ps1 files that would follow up with other .ps1 files, which launched .js files which contained prompts for AI, and hitting the openAI API's whenever I needed the AI layer. eventually i built a terminal tool, which would allow me to run the scripts from the terminal, and i'd manually type in the slugs for which products i wanted processed. all files would sit in specific folders, and scripts would do the rest. i was so excited about that, giving my terminal app a shortcut icon and putting it onto my taskbar. that was a year ago. fast forward to now. the game has changed so much. ANYTHING and i mean anything is possible now. people 'new' to codex, and CC etc don't know how good they have it. but i've had this ******* idea for so long, to build a fully automated, self learning ecom business, that launches products end to end based on it's own research, writing, and growth, but the complexity of it previously , and being busy with life, it never got finalized. the secret is i sync it via etsy too, but they're API keys take FOREVER to aquire, but built my own etsy system, product uploader, which runs across 7 different stores. however, now, i've finally been building the replacement for it. i'll be able to run that exact same system, except this time through a full app, with a canvas, and agent systems instead of .ps1 scripts. not to say i won't run scripts; they're an integral part of any automated workflow, but now it has superpowers, and it can do so so so much more. all the ideas I wanted to do, automated, fully, end to end. not only that, but i moved away from woocommerce entirely. instead i just built my own website builder, which is also fully automated end to end. my brand profiles, my artwork system? i'm still using those, just for more things. now i can launch 50 brands just like it, running the same system, all in about 5 minutes. whether it's saas, local service, or online ecom. i also built an ai automated ad builder. it takes my brands images, or generates images. i've got background removers, and full skills and agents which fully generate the ads for me. it mixes all that into seedance videos, and posts in logos etc. now i take those image/videos, and build instagram, tiktok, facebook vids, generate descriptions, and upload them automatically. it has an every growing library to source from, templates to use, and the system derives right with the websites, so all themes/styles match precisely to the brand. this is why it's so great building for yourself. the amount of reusability you get with it, the fact it's free forever, can never be beaten. none of these saas companies get it. and they're heading in the wrong direction. we could already DO half of what these companies are doing. my own personal SEO system, which i built for my automated web builder, is already 10x better than any yoast, rankmath etc. i skip expensive ahrefs, semrush, and just rebuild their services myself, using API, which is 100x cheaper. except this time it FEEDS my system, and i don't need to lay a finger on it. nobody cares about these little one off apps that won't exist in a year. they're either failing to see the future, or they're hoping for an early exit before they know the dominos start falling. people will want PRIVATE systems. all speaking to each other. not 1200 integrations and 1200 invoices to send to, that don't even have a ******* brain. i'm not selling anything yet. but if you're interested in seeing how i think about automation, then stay a while and listen. the tool i'm building will absolutely help you too. but i'll be honest. i'm actually quite scared to release it, solely down to how powerful it is. not many people do it like i do, and i'm finally on here to tell the world.

  𝗕𝗧𝗙𝗦 is BitTorrent's decentralized file storage system, and it fundamentally changes how you store and share data. Think about traditional cloud storage: Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud. Your files live on servers owned by a single company. That company controls access, sets prices, and can delete your data at any time. Your files are only as safe as that one company's security. And if their server goes down? You lose access. 𝗕𝗧𝗙𝗦 works completely differently. Instead of relying on a single server, your files are split into tiny encrypted pieces and stored across thousands of independent nodes worldwide. No single point of failure. No single company holding your data hostage. This architecture delivers 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀. First, security. Because files are fragmented and distributed, an attacker would need to compromise thousands of nodes to reassemble your data practically impossible. Second, censorship-resistance. No government or corporation can shut down BTFS because there's no central target to attack. Third, fault-tolerance. If some nodes go offline, thousands of others still serve your files. Fourth, speed. Peer-to-peer retrieval means you often download from the closest node, not a distant data center. So how does it work for actual users? You upload a file. 𝗕𝗧𝗙𝗦 splits it, encrypts each piece, and distributes those pieces to storage providers around the world users who have volunteered their spare hard drive space. When you need the file back, BTFS locates all the pieces from the fastest available nodes and reassembles them. But here's what makes BTFS sustainable: 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀. If you have unused storage space on your computer say, 100 GB sitting empty you can lease that space to the BTFS network. You earn 𝗕𝗧𝗙𝗦 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀 for every byte you store and serve. Your idle hard drive becomes an income stream. For everyday users, this means cheaper cloud storage. Without a centralized company setting monopolistic prices, storage costs drop to market rates determined by supply and demand. It means safer backups. Your encrypted, fragmented files survive disk failures, server outages, and even natural disasters. It means faster file sharing. The more popular a file is, the more nodes store it, and the faster everyone downloads it the opposite of centralized servers that slow down under load. All of this runs on 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 combined with BitTorrent's massive existing network. BitTorrent already has hundreds of millions of users worldwide. BTFS taps into that peer-to-peer infrastructure, adding incentives and persistence to what was once just a sharing protocol. Upload, store, retrieve. Or share your spare space and earn. No corporate servers. No hidden fees. No single point of failure. That's 𝗕𝗧𝗙𝗦 decentralized storage built for the real world. @justinsuntron @BitTorrent #TRONEcoStar
