>Just saying that it’s not terrifying If you think China's social credit system isn't terrifying, then I guess I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't find this terrifying.

Yes, that's a feature or bug, however you see it, that's universal in capitalism, even communism or socialism what implementations I've read about. I guess if one isn't happy with those that have power in one system, a p

It doesn't exist within its own ecosystem, as I mentioned. Stake is derived from work and work itself is a security, ie, your work is secured by prior works. Everything that built it needed prior work and everything to secure it needs

And Stake is derived from Work. Some of you assume PoS exists within its own ecosystem. Even in PoW, the work is derived from previous works, ie, the work required to buy and build the hardware and pay for electricity, etc.

Yes, that's the problem with validation through concensus which is universal in currency. With enough power (nodes) you can delegitimize other stake holders.

Centralization meaning those who have more gain more? I'd love to hear about any currency that doesn't have this feature/bug. Those who gain power tend to be able to acquire more by bootstrapping from prior power; it's p

Currency and local government can be completely divorced and I think crypto will prove this in the future. I don't think governments will begin to care one way or another as long as they get theirs and taxes are paid. If you can score

PoS still encourages using more powerful hardware and faster internet because it equates to more transactions. That said, I've seen people use Pi's as stakers. But you can still test the current draw per transaction much the same

You're assuming that PoS is divorced from competition and innovation. Those who innovate tend to earn capital, be it fiat, or let's say Ethereum here. You're assuming those that have Ethereum didn't innovate in some wa

Are you saying it's not fair in comparison to individuals? Is it any more than individuals pay (see graph) [0]? Because I see so many complaints here about poor businesses and the taxes they do (don't) pay. Don't forget that

Couldn't the same also be said at the human scale? Workers have to eat, sleep, often put back some money and gain some assets to grow and be more productive for their families and loved ones. Workers may use some of their money for res

Probably. But I'm sure it's very short range. You can already theoretically snoop on someone, albeit usually with the resources of a nation state or maybe less, via display RF noise, keyboard noise (both RF and audible), powerline

I can already see the repair-ability of electric cars getting as bad as some Apple hardware. Maybe someone should create an open design of a barebones electric car complete with RPi-based ECM or other open hardware/software. Or have a

Most food either comes canned or in plastic containers. Even the "fresh" foods will likely have pesticide residue so I guess grow our own garden? Of course that's probably out of the question in urban environments due to many

I wouldn't go so far as self-righteously telling someone what their purpose in life is. Besides that, if you want to go down that road, being in a support class and being a productive, supporting member of society in other ways is an e

I'm going to guess you'd have more software complexity to account for more dynamic conditions, as OP's link alludes to, along with more redundancy in safety. I'm pretty sure most 4 motor drones can function fine with jus

It seems it would be contradictory for the "Qnuts" to buy bitcoin. Cryptocoins do more to enable and perpetuate a global economy than standard localized currency. If not soon enough, I can see those types finally realizing the bea

I agree with OP as well with hosting rights so I don't see why not. Otherwise it's a kind of enforced slavery. People shouldn't have to do work for people they refuse to do work for. Force a man to do such a thing and his wil

Dosbox also runs on Xbox One via Retroarch. So in essence the Xbox can be a retro Windows gaming machine as well. PCem also has a very primitive core. If only Dosbox-X had a core we could run Windows on Xbox which is still possible, I think

I'm not sure I can recommend it. I went from an Antec 900 to a BeQuiet PureBase 500 and although it's a good case for a good price, I'm disappointed in noise and thermals. Turns out, as many reviewers have pointed out and oth
