Blurry Gray Thing posted:If you own controlling shares in the book itself, you don't have to do the grunt work. You get to make the author write your ideas. Everyone knows Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the literary world's most popular zombie mod. But how much better would it be if the original creator was involved? I think it's probably a good idea that the book that explores what it means to be British doesn't include their response to an Orcish Invasion.

Doesnt Costco famously sell its goods more or less at cost and make a significant amount of profit from annual memberships? More customers and less memberships would be lighting their business model on fire

it's all so handwavy too. "sublease your costco card" sounds great for the person buying the costco card and then "giving" it to another person to use. except uhh, would costco want to do that? and if so, what point does blockchain make it easier to handle all this? we certainly don't need blockchain for any kind of validation... and having it on a blockchain would actually just be slower as your appending data for each "update" where a different address owns the costco card and then has to return it back to the original owner's address. why not just skip the lovely blockchain and let costco create their own system they can customize and make instantaneous rather than at the speed of blockchain? what i'm saying is i've already thought of it more than these dweebs have... here's a better idea. if you don't have a membership to costco but need to shop there... get a costco gift card. they'll let you shop at costco if you're paying with their gift card. there's some obstacles: only costco members can buy gift cards. but like that seems way better than converting your fiat money into $COSTCOCOIN tokens

Also even aside from the stupidity of this costco plan, WHY is the blockchain the solution for that? Surely they could easily implement something using a system you login to and it keeps your information in a database. Why something like the blockchain in this case? What benefit does it provide better than that? none

What benefit does it provide better than that? If you think that's stupid, there are already $hundreds of millions involved in multiple ventures trying to put people's house ownership onto a blockchain. "Whoops while you were sleeping the blockchain got hacked so you're homeless now, tough luck. You have 3 days notice to vacate the premises, because SlutApe775 owns this property now according to his bithouse wallet". These folks typically have little to no understanding of tech and even LESS understanding of the industry they're trying to revolutionize. Doesn't stop them from constantly "X but with bitcoin"ing random industries and then thinking they're the next Nikola Tesla. You don't even need an interesting or creative scam whitepaper. Just take something that already exists, propose doing it with a blockchain, and get some dumb folks to invest. Rad Russian fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Jul 26, 2022 |

It’s so funny because you can slap a bunch of hypotheticals on top of it to try to tilt the scales in the crypto favour but it STILL makes no sense. Like if all the following are magically true: - it’s totally secure - it’s not massively harmful in terms of resources - it’s easy to use There still isn’t a great argument as to why it’s the better option than what already exists and is used in hundreds of thousands of places. It’s true though they have no idea about tech stuff and it is a weird cargo culting of what they think is some kind of revolutionary game changer because they watched a couple youtubes.

It’s so hilarious that the ridiculous ”rent out your Costco membership” example keeps coming up. These people are touting revolution, but their thinking is so mired in consumer capitalism that the best they can come up with is ideas for realizing surplus value from consumption. The “rent out your home computer for a distributed data center” idea is just as stupid. Data locality is one of the most important problems in distributed computing, just as inventory and routing are in warehousing.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Hard Mode: come up with a non-dystopian use case for blockchain. I've put a lot of thought into this personally and with a lot of folks down at the bureaucracy factory where I work. The only credible use case for blockchain (not even Bitcoin, blockchain in general) is for establishing a paper trail between peer countries that don't come under a common judicial framework. The peer countries part is important because otherwise the larger country will just say "gently caress you, you're using my system" and the judicial framework is relevant because they could just use existing cryptographic solutions for non-repudiation and go to court if they need to. In fact, blockchain is a hinderence here because if a judge orders you to delete or modify a record you've bought yourself a trip to paintown. Even then, it's only as useful as the integrity of the parties involved because we can look at recent grain related agreements in Ukraine to see how agreements don't actually stop someone who willfully signs an agreement in bad faith and then immediately breaks it.

Even in a perfect scenario where all of this technology makes sense and there’s massive global adoption, why would anyone want a public ledger of all of their transactions? Like, if you somehow don’t care about the horrific universal privacy concerns and are just thinking about yourself, do you really want a timestamped permanent record of you buying poo poo at the weed store while you were on the clock at work or whatever?
