- pixl97 3y agoHey, but I can sell you a 21st century e-hammer with AuthentiCode licensing. Swing power savings of up to 2% can be achieved. (Requires constant internet connection).
- malux85 3y agoSell?! Where’s your recurring? It’s a subscription model (paid yearly up front), with mandatory upgrades and a brutal depreciation policy

- hotnfresh 3y agoCan we get letters of marque as NFTs? C'mon, anything to make the cyberpunk future less lame than it's turned out to be.
- jowea 3y agoI honestly feel like the attackers operating out of Russia are 21st century privateers.
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoLetters of marque aren't transferable, so making them NFTs is kinda silly. Their entire purpose is that the state has entrusted you, captain of the ship, to abide by certain rules (don't plunder our ships, take prisoners when possible). That said, cyber-privateering is actually a good idea. Cyberwarfare is in the same space as naval warfare was in the 17th century: it's not really an overt act of war, it's mostly committed by criminal organizations with the occasional big news state actor action, and there's a lot of money to be made.

- bee_rider 3y agoThere have also been centuries of advancement on the idea of a hammer. The US and friendly countries have just a hammer, in the same way that a forge with a power hammer has just a hammer, or a wrecking ball could be seen as a complicated sledgehammer.
