If only there was a fully public system of secure transactional payments where everything was open source and viewable by anyone.
Update: classic HN to downvote something like this
- graeme 3y agoBecause it’s impossible to tell if it’s in earnest or satire. If earnest: why anyone would want a public record of everyone’s transactions is beyond me. The opposite of privacy If in satire: people really do post comments like yours in earnest!

If the record existed it would obviously be a gold mine, many people, [foreign] governments and faceless corporations would be all over it, they would be uncovering all kinds of things we couldn't have imagined and most likely didn't want to share and/or have terrible implications.
