https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rASpieLvH7c A r/wsb idiot/incel found a bug in Robin Hoods trading platform that allowed him to take out absolutely stupid positions on margin, and then completely lost his rear end to the tune of $60,000. Dude put up $2000, and shorted Apple $60000 on margin before their earnings call based on nothing more than his firmly held belief that women can't exist in the business world. Not Bitcoin related but it reminded me of the thread title. The subject of the video is probably a future coiner or has been a coiner in the past.

It's only an ok rebuttal for a fun side project, not a project meant to launch a global currency sometime next year. Libra is supposed to launch fully functional in 2020.

timick posted:That actually seems like a pretty good rebuttal . Note carefully how all of the answers boil down to how in theory they have the tools to handle the problems raised but that they're theorizing on how they actually want to solve most of the problems and running basic tests on the tools that they intend to work with. This is for something the size of a major credit card company going live in months. Answers like how fast their blockchain is running right now are disingenuous because most of the overhead in transaction times takes place for things like fraud checks that they haven't even started to try to implement. Because they're testing their programming tools. Before implementation of pretty much all of the meaty bits. For a payment system intended to go live in months. This is the timeframe where they should be testing the finished system up, down, and sideways, double checking against their regulatory compliance, and oh yes testing their links with the rest of the global financial system. This is not the timeframe for an answer consisting of 'well, we have the tools to solve our current cornucopia of basic functionality problems but we're still working out how exactly we want to do that.' To draw a metaphor this is not the time to be drawing blueprints for the rocket, this is the time to be running down prelaunch checklists.

the most damning part of the rebutt isquote:Libra’s Move language is unsound "i know nothing about it but i think the blog man is wrong on this one."

Complications posted:
I feel like Facebook thought they could pull an Uber and break laws initially, fending off legal attacks, and then become ubiquitous enough that moronic politicians begin depend on them and start changing laws in their favour. Turns out more people care about international finance than taxi-driver suicides, thought. They have Uber's "hemorrhage larger amounts of money and squander public good will" strategy down pat thought.

i don't know - their first rebuttal is that, actually, in fact, libra is designed to run in permissioned or permissionless configurations so yes it does actually need byzantine tolerance when that isn't even the diehl's point. the point is why have they designed it to run in both of those configurations and therefore require byzantine tolerance and the associated performance costs when designing a system intended to be run only in permissioned systems. the answer, of course, is because otherwise it wouldn't be ~blockchain~

I realize this isn't Bitcoin, but this chart is far too  not to share:https://twitter.com/zebulgar/status/1192198379859636225 It's literally the first stage on that technical_analysis.jpg comic from a few weeks ago.

The big difference is that, unlike with cybersecurity, there’s unlikely to be much pay in bitcoins speaking/consulting a decade from now.
