Take into account that alcohol comes in comparably big bottles and you need quite some of it to get drunk (if you are a professional of course). So, it is easier to control it's traffic than hunting for small pills which can be in ever

Everything is driven by incentives. Alcohol is cheaper for mass production and guaranteed to have good sales and huge consumer base. A state can't just allow to flow money away by legalizing a new drug which is, probably, mutually excl

Noticed how you added "large enough" restriction? Standards are changing, today it is not enough to buy just a house, it should be "large enough".

I think their parents got mortgages which they were paying off all their factory drone lives, not bought these houses.

It might be the hospital did an ICO and offers services for it's tokens now. Understandable then.

After reading the "The Three-Body Problem", I think it might be not that bad news after all.

Yup, but I think it's a good deal - to lose some points but have an interesting discussion.

Thank you, great comment, excellent points. I'm not discussing here nation-state certificate ledgers vs my small miserable blockchain, but instead an instance of a federated (say, XMPP) network server vs blockchain based solution. From

Thank you for providing an example. It's not a "bunch" but still. Could you explain why did you use word "regrettably", is it a bad thing these projects exists?
228.
by viach 8y ago
My original comment was a little bit sarcastic, but seriously - why not? I understand that a single blockchain will not handle global scale messaging. But a set of federated installations, could that work?

Interesting, why there is still no chat-on-blockchain thing. Sounds like an obvious idea for an ICO.

I don't have numbers, but my opinion is that the serious big/popular projects with some user base (contributors) will not bother, at least yet.

True, indeed it has all the features you mentioned. But do you think people stick to GitHub because these features are so hard to replicate?

by viach 8y ago
Why it's considered to be an alternative? Github is all about social networking for developers, not code hosting, or am I wrong?

You have used technical analysis for making an investment decision. Scientific method, skeptical approach, great. And the assumption is "the tech is broken, the price will fall because of it, won't buy". But, if we take on st

Right, I know, but it's still feels unusual, like adding some level of reality to these ancient times, making them seem closer. I'm not getting this impression seeing old latin, for example.
