Long story short, this guy was/is special enough to link the forums in his stuff. https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/

I only came back here today because of another sub, just wanted to check on some old friends but still trying to find the link for the chat room (about 4 years ago is the last time I used it, might be gone now).

Guess I owe him a thanks for reminding me about these forums existing.

It literally does not matter if any of us know anything about crypto, you haven't demonstrated at all why Flexa is equal to or better than a normal credit or debit card despite your walls of text

Yeah, I have. Faster, more secure, less fees for merchants, rewards on the back end for stakers (again, merchant fee >1% and entirely goes to the stakers), and solves the most fundamental problems of digital cash. But keep saying "BUT THEY DON'T PROTECT ME, I CAN'T CHARGEBACK!" like everyone else who has never had to do a chargeback.

Go type into your google machine "MIT 1996 Cryptocurrency". Pulls up a nice document that the NSA put out. Or just look around the CSAIL directory.

Basically the people who are actually intelligent have been working on solving the "payments problem" for 25 years now. Also look at the team of the MIT's Digital Currency Initiative or just type "MIT DCI Boston Federal Reserve".

Wasn’t the first legal business to accept bitcoins a burrito place? Is time repeating itself?

not sure if it was the very first but Meze Grill accepted them back in the old bruce days

that was back when the price of btc was a pretty stable 2-4 dollars and aside from that first bubble (to $31) generally didn't move a whole lot - btc getting hijacked by capitalist vultures made the price too unstable and they had to stop taking it, pretty ironic

lol, you are a very, very silly man and a terrible salesman. It doesn't take much to rattle you at all. That's probably something you should take a look at. The moment you lose your cool, you lose the upper hand.

Did you seriously not know that the NSA has been gathering data on Americans since 9/11? If it makes you feel better, you are just a drop in a very large bucket.

So let me get this straight, the fees are wired to stakers, who then produce trangs and blits and claim raffle prizes, and one of the prizes is a calculator, and then you enter the total number of trangs and blits, and that opens the secret door to bitcoin? I think I'm getting it now.

It is important to avoid confusion. This is the one that's okay to lick.


I mean, it's a decent scam. You're backing gift card payments with some money (which you require customers to supply, and don't allow them to extract) and then you try to convince merchants to receive payment in your proprietary coin, which they must redeem through you and only you. You can talk about lower transaction fees and such, probably incentivizing that with further discounts in early days.

As with all crypto, you either need to duplicate everything the established methods have (verification, charge backs, security) or fall prey to the same problems the established methods have already fixed.

It's still set up for a great rug pull, at minimum, so not a bad exit strategy when things go sideways for them.

If you assassinate a level 128 Orange Wizard of Petulance there is a 5% chance of him dropping an Immaculate Orb Of Brilliance, of which there are currently only 4 in existence.

e: lol, the quickest way is to give the CIA, FBI or NSA a call and ask them the exact same question you asked me, verbatim. They'll ask for your name, number and address and then add you to a list.

lol, i'm retired, but pretty much everyone in the US/Canada/UK/Australia/New Zealand are being tracked in some capacity; there's certainly more than enough data storage for that. Each country even monitors THEIR neighbor and then shares the data so that YOUR country can say with a straight face "no we are not doing this thing to OUR citizens."

I know you are joking, but you DO NOT want to become, I think the actual term is, 'associated'.

lol, there's a special term for coiners at the NSA but it's extremely rude.
