I mean everything they've launched works. Yes they don't have smart contracts live yet, but they do have sound tech[0] and some cool partnerships[1]. I'm no Cardano shill and would never buy at the current prices, but if I

You don't lose UBI by working. UBI should be intended to be the lowest possible amount of money to live. Life won't be fun/good if you're only relying on UBI. In that model I imagine plenty would prefer to keep their job

Any protocol change is, by definition, a fork. If everyone says the new PoS Bitcoin is the real Bitcoin, then it is so.

Yeah it does. It's a shame and hopefully the risks are made clearer over time.

They don't hand-pick miners at the end of the day- it's an on-chain vote (by token-holders and I'm sure they own a large sum so point taken). Maybe not the best example- I'm not too familiar with the structure and they d

I can be a market maker for an exchange with just $100... not sure how that isn't anything new. I can get a flash loan for $10,000,000 with zero credit to profit off of arbitrage opportunities. Yes, this is all focused on money but not

There's a weird insistence (especially here on HN) that if blockchain isn't doing something that can't be done in another way then it is useless. In reality just doing normal, established processes in a distributed way often

A random tweet about a concept not being "fundamentally ridiculous" is an awfully low bar to discredit intelligence. Have a look at his blog[0] and let me know if that reinforces your belief. Besides, if you read the whole thread

In theory there is some point in which the amount minted is lower than the amount lost (through losing keys/bad transactions/etc). In that case the inflationary currency is, in practice, deflationary.

Yeah they've had a strong display partnership for a long time.

In the US market it's much more dominant.

That's useful, but as someone with an unreliable memory having to recall specific commands under pressure doesn't sound too fun :)

I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't think anyone is suggesting suicide is no longer an issue- it most definitely is. However, anecdata is not a great metric for measuring large society-level changes.

Appreciate the response! Don't mean to make any claims about the legitimacy of the project- I'm sure your intentions are good. Think I'd recommend a different title next time better indicating the current state. That and mayb

Also configurable speed controls + skipping whitespace + easier to skip ads (Spotify podcasts break out the ads into their own streams so you can't skip them all in one go, though you can skip them individually).

Think they mean you can't easily swap out the code and iterate, as the current chain is the "value" so any update has to be widely accepted and heavily tested to not taint that value.
