I hate it so much that you've outlined a very viable use of a blockchain.

  The obvious question would be why do you hate it so much. I can't recall the viability of any piece of technology affecting me so negatively. We create technology to solve problems. Even if you can't think of a reason why some technology should exist, I can't imagine why it should elicit such strong emotions.

        So bitcoin has moved to proof of stake?

          Bitcoin doesn’t even have smart contracts. How is it relevant?

            Is it not a blockchain technology?
            • LudwigNagasena 4y ago
              It is, however, not the blockchain technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy

                And yet it causes more climate change than Scotland.

          The entire thread is about Ethereum...

        I doubt it, they just hid the dirty little secret that everyone putting up the stake will now mine it on another chain

      (Pssst, you're supposed to move the goalposts to "inequality")

  Now think about whether anything at all would be amiss if "the blockchain" were to be replaced by a good old trusted database.

    What happens when someone turns off the database?
