A great theory but in practice in this specific case the legal system will be forced to capitulate. Either a country has to ban all crypto mining or not enforce GDPR on chain nodes. Seems obvious which way it will land in the long run.
- remexre 5y agodidn't china already ban mining lmao
- not2b 5y agoUnless much more energy-efficient methods are developed, it seems in the long term crypto mining is going to be banned almost everywhere. The alternative would be cooking the planet. Perhaps this problem can be solved somehow, but the alternatives have their problems.
- gls2ro 5y agoI really don't think a legal argument can be made in case of GDPR breach saying "we cannot enforce GDPR because our tech does not support this" I think if you are a business you should choose technology that allows you to be compliant with the law.
- CryptoPunk 5y ago>>I think if you are a business you should choose technology that allows you to be compliant with the law. Unless the law violates personal liberty, which GDPR does.
- gls2ro 5y agoHow does GDPR violate personal liberty? I am very curious if you can pinpoint what exactly from it violates personal libery.
- CryptoPunk 5y agoIt violates the right to offer a service in exchange for permanent access to the private data the user discloses to you. It's a cookie cutter rule that restricts contract liberty to create more regimented social interaction.
- malermeister 5y agoIt also seems obvious to me, but I don't think we came to the same "obvious" conclusion.
