The discussion revolves around “coining content” on the Base L2 blockchain and its implications for creators and brands. While there’s excitement about enabling ownership of content, concerns arise over the actual financial benefits to creators versus the profits of platforms like Zora. The idea of using NFTs for true ownership is proposed as a potentially better solution.

Gnosis Safe – safe missing and can not connect
Gnosis recently migrated their URLs from https://gnosis-safe.io -> https://safe.global/, and the main app is now https://app.safe.global When I was trying to access this through my home ASUS AC1900 router it wasn’t recognising either safe I was connected to, and refused to let me connect my wallet at all. Looking at the network tab I could… Continue reading Gnosis Safe – safe missing and can not connect
Graph Indexer “Store error: database unavailable”
Recently I started to see this error appear randomly when hitting out Graph Indexer directly, which in turn would have been impacting any requests coming through the Graph decentralised Gateway service. Looking at the query_node_0 logs I could see that the outages coincided with the following logs Thankfull Marc-André from Ellipfra and Payne from StakeSquid… Continue reading Graph Indexer “Store error: database unavailable”
df -h hanging on Ubuntu
During a migration from one server to another I used nfs to mount the remote older server to the new server to rsync content across faster. After the process was completed I deleted the older server, but didn’t unmount the drive before hand. Because of this, every time that I tried to ls on the… Continue reading df -h hanging on Ubuntu

Running out of disk space with Docker
I’m running a small cloud based server as a redundency server for The Graph indexing. When setting it up I initially under estimated the amount of diskspace that would be required to maintain an index of four different subgraphs, and ended up running out of room. To fix the issue, I purchased another volume for… Continue reading Running out of disk space with Docker
Running matchstick for testing The Graph on Mac M1

Specifically I was getting the following error: Thankfully the Graph Discord is an incredibly helpful resource and learned that you need to rebuild the docker environment using the –platform linux/x86_64 flag. See below…. Now that is built, you… Continue reading Running matchstick for testing The Graph on Mac M1
Setting up a full archive Ethereum node with GETH
In a previous article I started building out the Erigon ETH node. After reading a little bit about Erigon and some issues that were being reported when using the full archive node of Erigon with Graph Indexes I decided to switch to the “slower-to-index” archive using GETH instead. Here are the steps I went through.… Continue reading Setting up a full archive Ethereum node with GETH
Setting up a Full Erigon Ethereum Node
While it is certainly possibly to use tools like Infura and Alchemy to make requests against the blockchain, sometimes you want to have your own Ethereum Archive Node to query. This is the case for The Graph endpoint that we are putting togethr to power the NFTX front end. While we have an enterprise account… Continue reading Setting up a Full Erigon Ethereum Node
