       | That said, Web3 is not going great.
       | 
       | regarding "web3 is not going great", which links to a web site
       | showing exploits and problems in poorly run organizations, maybe
       | someone should just put up a parallel site that shows the ever
       | expanding group of projects and communities that have existed
       | without incident?
       | 
       | like construction sites that showcase "X days without incident",
       | maybe that industry started putting those signs up in the past
       | because people only saw negative headlines and conflated
       | construction with the entire concept of having office space, like
       | people do with crypto
       | 
       | if there are, for example, 5,000 projects at time of writing, and
       | 300 of them get funds stolen or exploited in some way, thats
       | still a headline of an exploit every single business day of the
       | year and none for the other 4,700 projects. that's pretty much
       | the state of crypto discord today, and its been that way for the
       | past 10 years.

           | I've been thinking about it, but there are already so many
           | telegram bots that show smart contract deployments and you
           | can look at the name of the smart contract and find the
           | corresponding community on discord, in some periods of time
           | they are deployments nearly every second
           | 
           | so it's like who is it for? its not really useful for "web3
           | skeptics", the goal post would just move to something even
           | further unrelated to not having negative incidents occurring
           | to people that interact with the contract
           | 
           | still mulling it over, since it takes time and effort with no
           | benefit
           | 
           | edit: actually, some of the grant programs would likely
           | support development and maintenance of this
