It might not solve a real problem that you have, but it does solve the following real problem:
How do you create a shared transaction ledger without a central point of failure and control?
- fauxpause_ 3y agoThat is a question, not a problem.
- sethd 3y ago> How do you create a shared transaction ledger without a central point of failure and control? How is this not exactly what I was referring to? (solving an academic problem rather than a real world problem)
- kelseyfrog 3y agoI'm walking through my last 30 years on thus planet and that thought hasn't ever entered my mind. What were you doing in your life that prompted that desire to express itself?
- darkerside 3y agoHow many people thought a centralized VCS was just fine, and why would you even need distributed features?
- kelseyfrog 3y agoThat would be a good argument, except this is a thread about crypto and doing a Humpty Dumptyism that we're actually talking about VCS doesn't really make the point. I'm not getting baited into a discussion about how crypto-currencies and DVCS are abstractly the same thing and should be treated as such.
