Its nonsense. For both SSD and HDD. Although HDD do have a tendency to fail shorty after reuse if they where not used for years. This is due to lubrication decomposing afaik.

The question you have could easy be answer by yourself if you just go to the official page and read for 5 minutes what they are doing and how. Coil primary uses ILP its not a blockchain its a protocol it can use fiat or "magic crypto c

You also miss the whole point. The Netflix example isn't something anyone tires to do now and it may never happen its just to show what the tech COULD do. Today web monetization and micropayment ideas are targeted at replacing ads. Ads

No it does not. It proves the point that people are willing to pay for content. But no one wants to be locked-in to patron. There is a high chance over the next years many patron competitors will emerge and its neither in the interest of cr

No one said they should. But they can offer something and get payed with one that's usually the use case of the token. And it does not require a new token.

You can still have fixed cost/flat rates whatever. The key point is that you can use any service you want and they have to actually compete with the price and content. This is not the case now. You are locked-in or you overpay if you h

That not what coil does. Coils is just payment provider for web monetization. You can use another (probably none exist so far) and more importantly you can use web monetization outside of coil owned platforms. The cam site thing maybe look

I think you didn't get the bigger picture. Its not for streaming a movie is for everything on the web. Why would you pay 50 for Netflix if you can just consume content wherever you want for 50 bucks instead. They can still offer you a

Well there can still be option to pay full at once. Not quite sure what you gain from this but if you can stream you can also stream all once.

No one will, that's the point. Imagine you would have to pay Netflix with Netflix token and on eBay you would have to pay with eBay token. The current financial system is already annoying, we re dont have to make it worse.

That's exactly what we dont need. 99% would use the token to move value (pay for something) and we really dont need a bazillion different tokens for that. Also most tokens are not stable and thus not very desirably for payment.

We can make trust-less stablecoins backed by crypto but we cant run a blockchain on a stablecoin. Its only stable if its backed or pegged to something and that we dont know how to do decentral.

Ah cool thx, BTW you can swap on the XRPL DEX too, however you can only swap "issued currencies" (IOUs) so you need to trust some counterpart (like gatehub or another exchange) to actually hold the asset behind it until you withdr

Take a look at Sologenic. Sologenic is a fronted for the DEX. AFAIK they have no legal obligation to limit who is using it at all. The DEX as as its name says is decentral, they can not control it. They just make software that lets users us

I dont think this is a downside at all. If you build on a existing blockchain you ofc need funding rather than "printing" you own funding. It may be harder but also less of a legal risk. BTW Coil.com pays content creators based on
