So, a seaplane then? SBF could presumably even afford to bring in a decent submarine, assuming he hadn't lost access to his money.

Why would the fishing vessel need to avoid a navy? You could also just switch to another boat at any time.

Do you not think that straight up robbing somebody requires a different level of commitment than fraud? The guy using a fake app to pretend that they didn't receive a wire transfer isn't going to end up in a fight, the guy robbing

How could that work? There's no way to tell if the sender or recipient is being dishonest. Another common scam involves the buyer using a fake bank app to pay for goods, seller sees the money transferred right in front of them but neve

The seller claims they don't see the transfer on their end, who keeps the car? Buying a car with a bank transfer is a great way to get scammed by someone selling the same car multiple times.

No, that would be too limiting. Instead they'll just meet their armed PMSC escorts in international waters.

Yes, but that is fundamentally incompatible with phones! It's an oxymoron, like a Windows 2000 phone. Marricks's comment simply does not make any sense if we're to use that definition of "Linux".

Well that's silly, the userspace you are talking about is strictly useless on phones. Every single attempt at building a reasonable mobile userspace for GNU/Linux has been a complete failure. What would that even look like? Almost

How do you mean? The "Android kernel" is not meaningfully different from the Linux kernel. 4.4BSD however was released in 1993, so iOS would've had decades to diverge from it.

Bitfinex doesn't offer any Ponzi-like features, their "staking" product for example is as conservative as can be.

Of course, but given that the lost money has now been recovered and has vastly increased in value since the theft (from $72 million to over two billion, out of which Bitfinex keeps at least 20%) it's not all that likely that Bitfinex

This isn't true. One party being in control of most of the validation can't do much beyond performing a DoS attack, but that's not going to make them any money. So what you actually need is a party who controls most of the va

This is a completely solved problem, Monero is primarily powered by hundreds if not thousands of separate botnets. Mining will always be profitable because electricity costs are paid by someone else.
