The are trx fees for this exact reason. The network can continue to be profitable even without the mining of new bitcoins.

I wish I had 60 mbps :( That would be a big upgrade for a lot of people.

Well they're targeting paralyzed people to start with so they are giving themselves some room to grow.

With some form of hybernation or life extension Milky Way could be open for exploration even without ftl travel.

There are plenty of elon haters around. Some people just can't accept that someone can think outside the box and profit from it. I've seen the same mentality in crypto and other places.

Try using a deflationary currency for daily exchanges and see how it works out. Coins issued on top of a smart contract blockchain are a different story because they can be inflationary. The way it's goin, Ether will soon be just for g

Musicbee is the most natural music player I've ever used. Never understood clementine. Music players are subjective.

Building your own is probably the easiest of all the options presented.

And phone batteries are even more expensive. This is about grid tier batteries or cars where the volume constraints are less tight.

A bad implementation of something doesn't mean the fundamental idea doesn't work. Germany phased out nuclear not coal for political reasons. There are plenty of examples of grid tier battery projects that have worked wonders with

Real engineering reviewed a paper that claimed we have cheap enough renewables to do ~80% of electricity from them right now. For the rest 20% we would need massive price drops on the battery side but just that 80% alone would cause a prett

Spending on credit that you never pay is different. With a smart contract a government would have to release it's collateral. Now they can just keep the inflation up.

What if you just accept the one that's coming from the node with the most stake on it? Or a consensus across multiple nodes with high stake on them?

Assuming a simple PoS system of more stake=more blocks validated achieving a 51% attack is as capital intensive as it would be on a PoW system of the same size. So as far as the most basic notion of security is concerned there's no dif

This sounds really stupid. No bank allows it here. You get redirected to the bank's site and are asked to confirm the transaction with all the details including the amount of money, plus there's an OTP pin required. Maybe it'

A smaller currency would be at risk but the upside would also be smaller. Generally speaking there doesn't seem to be an incentive large enough to justify the enormous costs associated with a 51% attack.

At least you could try a quick googling before you write a comment.

You should look into the altcoin space where a lot of very smart people are trying a lot of different things. Now whether you put your money into them or not is an entirely different discussion.

Cardano is in many ways interesting.

Bitcoin is an asset, not a currency. Like any other assets, it carries it's own risk profile. Nano is more like a currency, but I feel that if we were to move to a blockchain-based solution it would be a huge waste to not include progr

Each NFT is separate. You can authenticate a digital game by owning the nft. The publisher can sell as many tokens as they wish, that's entirely different. The point is that they can't stop you from reselling, because it's on

That's up to you. It could easily replace steam for me. Or digital audio purchases.

by HeadsUpHigh 6y ago
We already have artificial scarcity. It's called steam. You buy a game in steam, you can't resell it. This allows you to resell the things you buy.

If the artist signs the NFT to you, then you can't track resales. It will always be signed as belonging to the original person who bought it. So basically this "alternative" to NFTs would be impossible to trade. It blows my m

It's peak virtue signaling and the low quality of communication of the internet. Maybe a bit of cultural effect from harry potter. The negative connotations of the word itself are only a portion of it. I'm sure once this fashion i

This must be a local( american?) issue. It's all voip here and there's only a minor difference in latency.

The value is in reselling the game when you are done with it. Instead of buying it on steam and then being stuck with it, you resell your token( which is the equivalent of having bought the game on steam) to the 2nd hand market. Same as you

You really don't understand the value proposition here. If a MP game goes defunct, as they do constantly the game will lose it's value, regardless if you bought it on steam or as a token on an NFT exchange. It doesn't matter.
