:morshupls: me explaining how gaming, crypto, and ugly pictures of monkeys are actually a stable way forward for humanity and justify burning down the amazon rain forest.
Americans are so allergic to any kind of centralized planning that they trigger the climate apocalypse instead.
Americans love central planning as long as it's by private corporations. This is evidenced by the support for nominally decentralized cryptos that are effectively controlled by a small number of centralized exchanges and mining pools.
It can be used to securely verify data you've put into a data pool. So checking to see if your vote is counted in an election would be possible.
This is the only use case of the Blockchain I can think of and any country willing to implement such a thing probably isn't actively attempting to suppress vote in the first place, it'd just be a QOL thing for voters. Not a big game changer or anything
This also has nothing to do with the currencies and shit, it's not something that drains a lot of power or whatever.
I'm afraid voting is not a good application for Blockchain. For people's votes to be secure, they need to be able to keep their keys safe, and end users are extremely bad at key management (and computer security in general), so some people's keys are inevitably going to be compromised. Given that, you then also need a system for verifying people's identities so that they can get their compromised keys replaced. And since identity is a social construct, that requires humans. So any Blockchain voting system would need to be backed by a ton of real-world infrastructure, and could potentially be so thoroughly compromised (as by e.g. a nasty computer worm) as to ultimately invalidate the results of an entire election.
All computer security experts recommend paper ballots for maximum election security; electronic voting is not a popular idea in the computer security field.
Edit: also, it's Blockchain itself that uses so much power (if using proof of work verification), not just the currency application of it
Oh no, I wasn't suggesting voting be done solely by it. I mean it as a way to view a record of your vote after it was done, you'd still need polls.
As far as I know there's less power consuming proof systems that can be used, but I don't really think any of it is necessary.
I'm just providing a limited use case of being able to view your data in an otherwise opaque process is a thing it could do, but its not really solving anything, just is a feature that it can provide.
I'm not arguing for it in the slightest and I agree with you here

how do i do a crypto rugpull
-
what 3 letter agency comes after me for doing a crypto rug pull
-
which countries do not extradite to the us? im assuming all the cool ones
Crypto rugpulls are probably perfectly legal cuz those shits aren't property.
"HELP ME MISTER KKKOP, I payed a dude to write my name on a ledger but he deleted that ledger, no I don't have any receipt of ever paying him and I actually payed him with monopoly money I bought with real money"
government plz stay out of my financial transactions unless somebody takes my digital pictures i payed to have my name written down on a ledger ive never seen
With Squid Coin, the "rug pull" was clearly spelled out in the contract that everyone who bought the coin agreed to. It's just that none of them read it.
Unfortunately the "developers" behind it have absconded and the website has gone down, but I distinctly remember that the coin came with a clause saying that you weren't allowed to resell it for three years after buying it, so after the initial massive rise people realized they couldn't sell and it crashed to zero.

New idea for a UBI: everyone sets up their own NFTs and all rugpull each other
""'""""""""" big daddy ape club""'""""""""" GOD DAMMIT THESE PEOPLE SHOULD JUST PAY FURRY ARTIST FOR COMMISIONS AT THIS POINT COME ON GUYS
Furry porn and furry character model sheets are the way real working artists make a living today anyway.
yeah but if you look at historical art it was always mainly porn.
art is pretty much just an excuse to draw or sculpt some hot bod like art has been horny since the primitive times
I’m making an NFT of the most updooted Reddit comments on porn Subreddits as spoken by picrews.
This will be the most popular NFT, and I definitely will not rugpull.
Unless I feel like it.
But trust me.
so, is this shit ripping through the petit bourgeois and turning them into proles?
A lot of this grift works by building up reputation within the community and then exploiting it.
You only hear about these grifts because they're flashy and successful. There are dozens - probably hundreds or even thousands - of hard working grifters who never land the big payday.
Just remember that Grift Work Is Work and these hustlers are as routinely underpaid as their service sector comrades.
Grift Work Is Work
immediately imagined GWERF, grift work exclusionary radical feminists.
no such thing, they'd lose their most prominent theorists
fascist infighting is a song as old as time. It's like leftists versus fascists. or leftists versus liberals. or leftists versus leftists.
I'd be very suspicious of this project. The artstyle is nowhere near as hideous and jarring as real NFTs.
2002: For me once, shame on ... you can't get fooled again
2022: scam me daddy
rugpull
imagine needing to invent a new word to describe your kulak community

Yeah, kulaks produced something with real use value. Shit, even essential oil MLM weirdos at least trick you into buying an actual physical product. The NFT grift is some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Tulip futures make more sense than this.
Tulips do be nice to look at, and NFT dickheads aren't exactly hoarding their "production"
love libertarians finding out why government regulation can actually be a good thing
I always wonder how much of this money is just capital they've put in as a part of the grift?
