Alpha Mayo posted:And part of the reason for chips is they aren't skimmable, eventually the magnetic stripes will be phased out. They effectively are in some places. When going overseas a couple of years ago we got a travel credit card that could have credit loaded onto it (either Visa or Mastercard, can't remember which, but one of the big brands). In the UK I had the card refused in a couple of places because it didn't have a chip in it.

Uhh if this is true this is huge & hosed up: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.bad4eab7ea6e quote:German researchers have found about 1,600 files of non-financial data, some of which link to or contain child pornography and other objectionable material, on the system that stores bitcoin transactions.

It just so happens that I went to mine the crypto discord for meltdown content due to the price drop since yesterday but they were talking about this instead. So you can see how they interpret the news. (it was hard to find what set off such a huge argument. One guy mentioning it drove them mental. I assume they are getting defensive about people mentioning it) quote:Batman - Today at 10:29 AM That's just some highlights but one person tried to make the case for why the public might want to distance themselves from bitcoins and how the price could be hurt by this which caused this argument where true believers just go nuts to try and make people stop talking about it. Rational "investing" as always since they don't want to talk about something that can have a huge impact on the public perception and amount of new money coming in to the market.

bobfather posted:Yeah, they do matter. When I moved to Miami within the first 6 months two different credit cards of mine had been skimmed. I spent probably 1 hour on the phone disputing charges and 3-5 days of waiting for new cards to come in the mail. To get 5 seconds saved I guess you'd basically be comparing my local pizza joint with a dialup POS to a grocery store using Apple Pay on fiber. My local grocery stores and convenience stores all use chip readers exclusively now, and it's usually barking at my to remove my card before I've even had a chance to grab my phone and keys from the basket. It's definitely not 5 seconds and there's no time spent waiting on it. And that's ignoring the fact that 98% of the time spent in a Wal Mart transaction doesn't involve payment at all.

Isn't Kenya a shithole or something? lol I've had a card skimmed, but only once or twice in 20 years of business travel. So maybe you shop at sketchy places? But once they switched to chip cards I haven't had anything.

https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/20/cryptokitties-blockchain-sensation-raises-12-million/ CryptoKitties blockchain sensation raises $12 million CryptoKitties became a sensation after it debuted in November as a collectible game built on top of a blockchain and the Ethereum cryptocurrency. Now the Axiom Zen game studio is spinning it out as a separate company, and it has raised $12 million funding for this endeavor. The idea behind CryptoKitties is to make blockchain technology accessible and relevant to everyday consumers. Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures led the round. CryptoKitties don’t come with a cryptocurrency themselves. Rather, the company calls them cryptocollectibles, which use blockchain technology to authenticate ownership of a particular CryptoKittie character. Players can buy and sell those characters, and some of them are rare. You can think of CryptoKitties as a kind of Pokémon for the age of blockchain. Since its launch, CryptoKitties has gained more than 1.5 million users. This doesn’t sound like a lot, but the studio says fans have conducted more than $40 million in transactions. And some of the game’s most popular cats have sold for the equivalent of more than $200,000. CryptoKitties got so popular that they accounted for as much as 30 percent of the volume of trading in Ethereum, one of the more popular cryptocurrencies. Angel investors include Fred Ehrsam (former founder of Coinbase); Naval Ravikant (CEO and founder of AngelList); Mark Pincus (cofounder of Zynga); Bill Tai (board member of BitFury); William Mougayar (founder of Token Summit); Avichal Garg (partner at Y Combinator); Jeff Morris (head of revenue at Tinder); Balaji Srinavasian (founder of Earn.com) Josh Stech (vice president of business at Lending Home); Joshua Naussbaum (founder of Compound VC)j; and Tyler Gaffney (CEO of Entrepid). Above: CryptoKitties will soon have a more Asian flavor. Image Credit: Axiom Zen Seed funds investors also include CAA Ventures, Digital Currency Group, YesVC, and Version One. CryptoKitties isn’t much when it comes to gameplay. You can buy a kitten (with Ethereum) and hold on to it. You can breed kittens, which have different visual features, dubbed traits. Some of the traits are rarer than others. There are thousands of kittens in the game. Some of them breed fast, and others are slower. CryptoKittydex keeps track of trains and how common or rare they are. In January, Axiom Zen partnered with Garfield developer Animoca Brands to publish CryptoKitties on mobile in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The company is launching in China with localized web site and support. Axiom Zen is also launching an iOS beta app in the region, limited to just 5,000 users. It might be odd for China to ban cryptocurrencies but to permit trading to happen for cryptocollectibles. But Axiom Zen sees CryptoKitties as one more sign that games are always at the forefront of emerging technologies and platforms. The company said that “digital scarcity and true ownership unlock billions of dollars of value and put power in the hands of creators and their fans.” China has banned cryptocurrency trading, but Canada-based Axiom Zen said that regulators are OK with the game thanks to the distinction that it is dubbed a cryptocollectible. In an email, CryptoKitties cofounder Bryce Bladon said earlier, “CryptoKitties are not cryptocurrency, and local regulators have confirmed that they are not classified as a security.”
