WithoutTheFezOn posted:Not direct fees, but there are plenty of places in the US where the merchant will charge more if you use a credit card. Gas stations in particular in my experience. But that's from the fee applied to the merchant, right? They are passing it along to the consumer? If what they mean is that it becomes a fee-free system for the merchant, then I suppose that's a one-up over CCs, but their wording makes it impossible to know what they are trying to say. Also, I don't know how the system stays afloat if they aren't taking a fee from someone in the transaction, but I'm not a student in The Wizarding World of Math Nerd

there are basic fees from the sidechain verification like with anything else on the blockchain. and they also charge a merchant fee on top of that. their argument is that it's less than current credit card fees charged to the merchant. as a customer, why would i even care about that unless it made the product cheaper for me. the burrito is still $X dollars regardless of what mechanism you use to pay for it so why not use a cc w/ points. why use crypto. they never really explain that part. like it's another step to buy or mine crypto. then additional apps, knowledge and time to figure out how all that works. that dude came in here and spouted off a whole bunch of poo poo no normal person would ever want to deal with.

pippy posted:Can someone explain what exactly he's proposing here? I read the abstract and it's basically say that Bitcoin and Crypto will made physical war obsolete because cyberwarfare will become so powerful. As usual, it completely sidesteps the fact this has already been proved false, as cyberwarfare has been a thing for a long time and hasn't done poo poo to stop physical war, and basically assumes Crypto is inventing cyberwar. Also it calls cyberwarfare "hardwar" and "softwar" and tries to meaningfully differentiate between the two which is just puzzling and pointless. Basically he wants the movie Robot Jox to be real but with blockchain instead of giant robots. Is it just me, or is it really sad that cryptobros can't even conceive of the idea of stopping war altogether, but instead champion the idea of just having a different KIND of war?

“Computers were a big invention that allowed programmers to create programs that output controlled electrical signals. This technology was so disruptive it caused society to classify hardware and software programming separately. This thesis presents a theory on the invention of non-physical tokens that require physical energy expenditure to create (such as bitcoin). This, the biggest invention ever, will enable conversion of physical war (and the cost of life) by humans into cyber warfare performed digitally. This could cause society to perceive physical warfare and cyber warfare as distinctly different. Software doesn't replace the need for hardware, but the emergence of software dramatically changed the profession of computer programming. By that same logic, cyber warfare doesn’t replace the need for physical war, but it could change the profession of “war”. The theory hypothesizes that creating non-physical tokens from real-world energy expenditure, and combing them with second-layer centralization (like the lightning network), and then adopting simple programs to facilitate payments and paywalls, will allow for software driven attacks based on who owns the most bitcoin. The physical cost of creating more bitcoin will make countering attacks from those who own the most bitcoin, untenable.” Very big brane man Edit: decided to do the whole thing Flowers for QAnon fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jun 7, 2022 |

"...capture brute-force physical power electronically rather than kinetically..." lmao, that's not a thing. i don't, i can't even, what the gently caress are they talking about ? it's more loving video game logic that does not apply to the real world. e: when i play classic COD 4 Remastered, because I'll be damned if I'm going to play any of the new ones, I am not actually firing a gun, or any kind of firearm; i am merely moving numbers around inside a computer system which then respond to other numbers based on decisions the computer is making sixty times a second. none of this is real or has any effect on anything in the real world. why do coiners not seem to understand this? e: lol, imagine real world policies decided on who wins a loving video game. tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jun 7, 2022 |

He makes a fundamental error in this statement: quote:The answer is deceptively simple: because they don’t trust the judge; because they don’t respect the judgement. This isn't correct. It isn't because people don't trust the judge - it's because they don't give a poo poo about the judge. War is not always about "I say I own this land, you say you own this land, let's fight to decide who gets the land". Sometimes the killing is the point and the end goal. Hell, not even sometimes. In the end, it's just another Bitcoiner who thinks he's solved all the world's problems by making up a fantasy world and assuming the real world is the same.
