quote:Lol. Ever hear of a thing called lighting network? Bitcoin like all crypto is evolving code. Soon the transactions will have lower fees than any credit card and scale just the same. Get used to the words block chain because it's going to be the back end of several technologies in the future. "Get used to the words block chain" really cracks me up.

Alpha Mayo posted:What is innovative about blockchain? It literally is just a sequence of data blocks with a signature in the header of the previous header. Hash trees have been around for 40+ years. Blockchain is nothing databases/transaction systems haven't done better for decades. Seriously there's renewed interest in security schemes to try and ease outsiders into your walled garden. Like traditionally there's huge efficiencies if you can convince your suppliers or customers into your ERP totally but it's a hard sell when your security holds the one and only source of keys in or out. EDI interfaces are a good solution for the majority of relationships since you can hook together a couple ERPs or a ERP and a small sales offices manual book keeper with a mostly automated way. But there's some security schemes opportunities to make things like auditors happier about not having to get their access from your security department or getting real time inventory triggering replenishment orders without a layer of time through the EDI.

french lies posted:Lol you literally haven’t paid attention to anything I said have you. You’re arguing against your mental model of a “true believer”. I wrote what I wrote because I read what you've written. Most of your posts describe hypothetical benefits that either A) aren't possible with cryptocurrencies as they exist today due to technical limitations or B) are more easily achievable with other technologies that don't rely on cryptocurrencies. This leads to one conclusion: you don't understand the technical details. I haven't accused you of being a true believer, only of falling for empty promises.

What I don't get about Bitcoin is how all the true believers who have been there since the beginning keep yelling that hodl crap. I mean, I missed out, but if I have had a number of those coins for a long period of time I'd be more than happy to cash out now at 10k, like how greedy can you be to not be satisfied with a 1000%+ profit?

What ever happened to the bitcoin vaporizing trick where you could get someone to transfer their butts to a nonexistent wallet address, permanently destroying those coins in the process? I feel like that's still the most legitimate use of butts, to make libertarians cry (and of course the resulting lols.)

SEC and CFTC issued a joint statement today:quote:"When market participants engage in fraud under the guise of offering digital instruments – whether characterized as virtual currencies, coins, tokens, or the like – the SEC and the CFTC will look beyond form, examine the substance of the activity and prosecute violations of the federal securities and commodities laws. The Divisions of Enforcement for the SEC and CFTC will continue to address violations and bring actions to stop and prevent fraud in the offer and sale of digital instruments." hopefully they take a sledgehammer to bitconnect Uranium 235 fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Jan 19, 2018 |

Or the ones who are bound and determined that their funbux is going to net them private-island-level money. There are people out there who put $500 in and now it's worth $5000 or even $50000, but they think if they just keep waiting and everyone else does too then it'll turn into five million.

Holy poo poo. Holy poo poo. Holy poo poo. This is the striking gold version of "who invests in bitconnect" https://www.reddit.com/user/ElJefeDeykon Invested my company funds $125,000.00 (/r/BCC) quote:My company throw car show in Austin, TX in March n I invest our funds all of it so we can have more money for the event. It all gone now thanks to satish. I need to sell him my bcc back for dollars n I heard he was buying back for less money. How can I sell it for money to get some my company's funds back? Later on... [Texas] Invested my company money in ponzi and lost all of it. (/r/legaladvice) quote:I invest my companys funds in a ponzi and they run wit da money. I need money for March when we havin the car show. I gots to pay my workers and staff. Can I lawsuit the ponzi people for my money back? I need it by March. THX BUT WAIT, this is obviously a troll right? Nope, this guy actually hosted a "donk contest" in Austin last year.

So what is an actual commercial potential of blockchain? Can a company like IBM develop a business-to-business, enterprise solution and develop a consulting, installation, and support business around it? Is it at all applicable to data analysis or their Watson project? Where the gently caress is it useful besides scamming rubes out of their money?
