Encryption protocols? ECMAscript?
Internet protocols are maintained as a public good. The Bitcoin developers are certainly not trying to extract profits, they are trying to deliver the world an open source monetary system.
- kibibu 4y agoPerhaps that's the core developers' goal. What they are trying to deliver and what they are actually delivering are two wildly different things. They've built a platform that destroys the environment faster than the entire banking sector, enables scams and ponzi schemes at unprecedented scale and anonymity, meanwhile delivering a whopping transaction throughput of around 20/s - enough to support a few moderately busy supermarkets in a single small city.
- drcongo 4y ago> What they are trying to deliver and what they are actually delivering are two wildly different things That's precisely the point of the article isn't it?
- randomhodler84 4y agoWith all due respect none of those things are true. I understand that you passionately believe them, but they are not true. You should try to understand how this works and why people would be interested.
- kibibu 4y agoIt's very easy for you to check the TPS and power consumption of Bitcoin. If anything I've overestimated the transaction rate.
