I get why one would flash OpenWrt on hardware that is no longer manufacturer supported but is there any indication that security is improved or at least equal before then?

An even more worrying account of data hoarding was when homosexuals were registered and later sent to concentration camps... (Yes, I've just invoked Godwin's law) In my opinion data should be regarded as a liability by default. W

Android servers - I've heard this idea before and I'm genuinely curious what it would take to make Android less painful for self-hosting. Currently automatic updates are an issue and remote management needs work. What else am I mi

No, the market isn't a zero-sum game. "A rising tide lifts all boats" Of course everyone cashing out at the same time would be akin to a bank-run. In practice this doesn't happen since people bought in at different times

Well exactly, had these single parents bought Bitcoin or Ethereum years ago they wouldn't be struggling now. One doesn't need to run a node to use the system but it is accessible to everyone, just as the code is there to be scruti

The same is true of the telephone, smartphones, the internet, etc. Metcalfe's law applies here as the utility of the network rises with the number of participants.

You're so close to an ad hominem that I can hardly be persuaded to reply but your confusion has taken the better of me. Proof of stake blockchains operate on the basis of more dollars = more votes, for this to be true for proof of work

According to newly announced regulations crypto transfers over 1000 Euros are to be scrutinized. How exactly this will be enforced is not clear to me. Also noteworthy, cash payments are limited to 10,000 Euros (1000 Euro in Spain)

Of course letting everyone print their own money is a farce and doesn't actually generate any value for society. In that sense Binance is guilty here with their BNB token, having also set the example for FTX' FTT token.

Cryptocurrency proponents have taken on an almost religious stance, I'll give you that. Then again fanatical users speaks to good product design somewhere

SEPA only works within the EU whereas what you are comparing is a global payments system. In Europe it is also necessary to report any transactions over 10,000 EUR which causes more friction than you imply. It is not transparent as to how m

This crypto and asset bubble was of their own making! Quantitative easing directly lead to inflated asset prices and inflation. Then VCs jumped on the bandwagon and pushed FTX to unsustainable heights. Now people all over the world are sudd

So the Russian and Iranian people who are not at fault for their governments misgivings are supposed to be shut out of the global financial system too? Thank Satoshi for true net neutrality.

How is it the responsibility of an offshore company to conform to some states regulatory framework - and which states anyways? If people want these products and they are regulated out of the market, offshore is where these companies will go

No, Tether and their banking partner Deltec have very little international backing, nor are they the same entity as Binance. Strange to call Tether and Binance, "weapons aimed at the West", when their implosion would surely do mor

It squeezes out and potentially causes a short-circuit as some pastes are electrically conductive.

There is also a related idea in engineering, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle "Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept" It seems to me this can defuse some communic
