i just can’t tell if these comments are in good faith or not anymore. every thread on HN that even brushes up against crypto has about a million comments explaining what problems these things solve. you can disagree with the solutions, you can find it hard to relate to the problems being solved, but don’t play the “i’ve never gotten an answer to <x>“ game here, because you absolutely have.
- acdha 5y ago> every thread on HN that even brushes up against crypto has about a million comments explaining what problems these things solve. More accurately, they have plenty of people with a financial stake saying that the technology can solve a particular problem. It’s exceedingly rare that they can discuss the problem at a level of detail demonstrating real understanding of the problem, the systems currently being used, or, especially, non-hypothetical ways to deal with the limitations of the proposed system.
