The recent reporting on the crypto-rich getting robbed and extorted made me think of something funny. As we all know, crypto allows you to be BE YOUR OWN BANK. A bank with no security. But it's quite literal in that the bank is you as a physical person. The vault of gold is effectively in your personal possession at all times. Crypto's ownership model means you can never be safe. Having the private key grants absolute control of the vault and any actions taken once inside are irrevocable. You always need some way to have this direct control, or you don't own it, and so you are always an easy target ripe for juicing. It's yet another consequence of the poo poo ideology underlying crypto that rejects social and institutional solutions to problems, in favour of insane and ineffective technical ones that only consider individuals.

So does that mean in this scenario it is more than encouraged to literally shove thumbdrives of bitcoins and/or badly copy&pasted apes up your rear end?

They've mostly moved on from "Be your own bank!" because anyone who's spent two minutes thinking about it, like you Spatial, realizes that they don't want to be their own bank. Its a bad idea.

"I'm being discriminated against" is the go to of every rear end in a top hat who has never faced prejudice in their life facing consequences for their actions

We simply want to make money off of your intellectual property, why are you such dicks about it? It's exactly like 1984! Our 1984 NFT collection drops next week, by the way.

i tried to follow the white paper and from what i understood of it, it basically said "we are making a format where in addition to having the cards 'normally' you also have to buy nfts of those cards from us, and also we only are minting a limited number of those cards so better get in early! oh and also since this is a dao the early adopters and whales get to make all the decisions about the format" so in other words "what if magic was not just explicitly pay to win, but also you aren't allowed to pay to win after a certain point either"

Thank god this big brained entrepreneur figured out that he was being scammed or the future of VTOL/Air Taxis would certainly be doomed to failure! https://twitter.com/web3isgreat This seems to be a good twitter account that allocates all the stories of these dumbasses who get scammed.

Gutcruncher posted:“You can’t just use my intellectual property for your own business ventures, sir” Unfortunately, the response to telling an NFT fucker "you can't use this to make money, it does not actually belong to you" is usually "yeah, and?" I look forward to the smoking crater that the lawyers will leave.

Unrelated, has anyone heard anything going on with the VR app Neos? It's apparently some passion project by a furry/bunch of furries as a less jank more capable VRchat that was co-opted by a rich techbro who inserted himself as CEO and then immediately made a crypto currency integrated with it, and now there's a bunch of stuff coming out that apparently a bunch of the core developers never got paid, government provided investment funds and a patreon instead went to minting crypto, and the CEO harasses anyone who says 'h- hey can you maybe pay me'. https://twitter.com/Frooxius/status/1492657273109422080 edit: from the doc he posted, quote:– I had a place to live, food and some equipment, so my expenses were almost non-existent. This was considered “salary” a number of times by Karel, but with finances controlled by him (original VC funding, Patreon and other invoices go to Solirax CoreDev s.r.o.), I was dependent on him. ishikabibble fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Feb 13, 2022 |

Early stage open source VTOL/Air taxi company is a pretty obvious way of saying either we're a rugpull for blind cyberpunk enthusiasts OR a bunch of extremely naïve idiots who think this is possible but are too stupid to figure it out, so please join and do everything for us so we can take the credit ala the hiring but not paying of randos who join their discord who they trust to design their vehicles.

ishikabibble posted:i know it's the question you can ask about literally everything these idiots say but open source designing an entire air taxi system, including the airframe, the software, the business model, and everything you see, unlike companies which only let people with certain qualifications participate in building airplanes, this open model will ensure that anyone is able to help design the aircraft, regardless of whether they have knowledge or skills. this will help break personal air travel out of those corporate walled gardens and allow people to come up with technological innovations that no mere professional could ever conceive of also,
