That’s gaslighting. If it’s so obvious, then say it.

I’m legit curious about the specifics because I honestly see no benefit in either.

Everybody has been stealing each other’s nuclear secrets for decades.

AKA “fuck around”

We frequently build clear, robust laws around mandatory testing. Like that recent YouTube video where the Tesla crashed through a wall, but with crash test dummies.

I would assume everyone here would agree with that 😘

build, sell and drive

You two don’t seem to strongly disagree. The driver is liable but should then sue the builder/seller for “self driving” fraud.

Ok, maybe project managers are good for something.

Bro I’m colorblind too and if you’re not sure what color the light is, you have to stop. Don’t put that on the rest of us.

As an engineer, I strongly agree with requirements based on empirical results rather than requiring a specific technology. The latter never ages well. Thank you.

It can’t even perceive the depth of the lights?

They’ll be like Russian elections

The whole thing with supervisors is kafkaesque, too. In most situations, going over your supervisor’s head is a bad idea. In this situation, Walmart expected it!

The “Toupee Fallacy”

Two have so far!

from a functional perspective I don’t see how that’s different from just having it hardcoded in the genesis block

Having posted the code ahead of time, and making the Genesis block not spendable. Monero (not Bytecoin) had a similarly p2p launch, but we can’t measure how concentrated its wealth is.

It’s a problem, sure. If you want auditability at the expense of any guaranteed privacy, again, Ripple. It’s is totally transparent, assuming you keep a backup of all the old closed ledgers. And uses computing power more comparable to an old-fashioned bank account than to Bitcoin.

I got a ton of free Ripples for free when it launched because it was not p2p, but I agreed to test it. I ended up selling them for a considerable amount of virtually pure profit. Aren’t they still using centrally assigned Validators? With that much centralization, they could use virtually no computing power at all.

But it’s a reasonable point - guaranteed privacy or guaranteed auditability? For your network traffic, are you bouncing it through an onion route for which the peers aren’t required to save records - like Tor? I certainty don’t think Monero is centralized or a scam, FWIW. Breaches of privacy are internalized to the users, while a breached supply limit would end the coin.

thinking that cryptocurrencies are all p2p, and that Bitcoin dominates the market because they don’t know this one simple thing, are both telltale signs of a novice.

It’s never been my main squeeze, but I’ve dabbled since the early days. Do with that what you will.

Honestly I don’t recognize your username, but since you’re privacy focused I assume you just change it. It’s been a long time. ❤️

Half hydrogen! Or the rare molecule, puffy air.

If we had spent the time working on the real problems, this would have already been solved.

Now we just need to make more Lemmy posts that aren’t about them.
