explodicle,

That was a lot more difficult before BIP39 seed phrases were invented. You could of course write down anything, but there would’ve been a lot of room for error.

explodicle,

You can’t space billionaires without space billionaires!

explodicle,

In that case, I’ll recreate the works of Shakespeare.

explodicle,

No, most candy bars are phallic symbols.

explodicle,

If capitalism didn’t eliminate copying, then my movie downloading experience would be much easier.

explodicle,

OMG I didn’t even notice your username until just now!

explodicle,

It would be like the Trans Pacific Partnership, strengthening IP and DRM.

I don’t 100% disagree with him. Like he said, it is an additional risk. Assuming no supply bugs, you can validate what is published.

I just disagree with him that it’s “near zero probability”. This already did happen with Bitcoin and we only caught it because we weren’t assuming zero supply bugs. Bugs happen and we’re talking about the future money supply for all humans.

Edit to add: and BTW it’s not just cryptography bugs (rare), but anything related to validation (like value overflow)

explodicle,

Onion routing (like Tor) is the default for the Lightning Network. Every crypto that supports it already has private payments, including Bitcoin.

There’s no way to validate the total supply of Monero. So if it ever has a supply bug (like Bitcoin’s value overflow incident), then it won’t be detected and patched.

explodicle,

Ok thanks for your contribution Dr. Science.

explodicle,

Those mentions are of systemic state-run murder. That doesn’t make every murder a crime against humanity, especially vigilante justice against literal slavers.

explodicle,

If the Fed can’t provide good monetary policy, then one of those value props isn’t dubious!

explodicle,

Understood, I’m just pointing out that this isn’t always the case.

explodicle,

Sometimes most people are wrong about something. That doesn’t make them assholes, or mean there’s anything wrong with OP. Our culture is imperfect.

explodicle,

Aliens see us as the water balloon planet.

explodicle,

When stuff starts happening:

“Whoah, where is all this coming from? Let’s sit down at the table and discuss.

Hey hey, wait, wait! We’re willing to compromise now! Wait!”

explodicle,

“Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other.”
