Proof of Failure

Before Proof of Work, study Proof of Failure.

What it does

Proof of Failure is an innovative platform of the forensic database of failed Web3 startups, built to document how large-scale crypto projects collapsed, and why. To build a community-driven research platform where founders study real failure data before shipping ideas, turning collapse into foresight, not repetition. This tool is essential for developers, investors, and enthusiasts looking to understand the pitfalls of the crypto world and leverage these insights for future success.

    Hi guys, I've written the first proof-of-mistake crypto token on top of Ethereum. You can see it at http://www.lostethereum.com/ It's basically a proof-of-burn substitute for users who mistakenly sent to the wrong address. It requires a web3 enabled browser, i.e chome with MetaMask, Parity, Mist, etc. This let's the web interface seamlessly interact with the Ethereum network. Let me know what you guys think.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
