Infrastructure is hand-waving friendly?
The revolution will not be Pringle-can-ized.
Is this how bad it's getting for bitcoin? People are trying to invent dependencies based on flying currencies?
Let me get this straight...
You want me to leave my darknet router on and running to help route all that traffic from all that blockchain crap related to bitcoin transactions? And my incentive is to get infinitesimally small amounts of this stuff (which then requires more blockchain network overhead)??? What is the likely ratio of blockchain noise to real data signal?
I enter the coffee shop and then we bucket brigade my order to the counter. Anyone standing between me and the barista will have to shake hands, exchange pleasantries, trade 1 hundred-millionth of a bitcoin, check some blockchains, express their love of the community that makes the ordering of coffee possible, then pass my order through letter-by-letter. Once complete, the same process occurs in reverse, except the coffee will now be passed drop by drop from mouth to mouth of everybody between the barista and myself (swished around to ensure proper encryption).
Let's not also forget that I'm bootstrapping a fiber optic network through my neighbors' back yards, because if I stick my router behind my Comcast modem... uh, yeah. Wifi? pshaw. My neighbors can't change a default password on their router. Now they're my decentralized network engineers that "love the community"??
Good lord, the bitbug miners are trying to take their electricity wasting exercise and make it a network wasting exercise as well.
