That guy trying to find his HDD in the dump is going to experience karma in the fiercest way when he actually finds it but it is irreparably damaged.

ilmucche posted:how much does it cost to "mint" an nft? enough to toss it on some blockchain somewhere? Well because crypto likes fees: it's a somewhat expensive transaction on it's own, but to then mint an nft can have whatever additional fee people want to charge (or 0) Bonus: say you wanted 10 of a cheap nft? you get to pay for 10 transactions. There's literally no way to handle "I would like 10 of these, please" that actually becomes even vaguely more efficient (like only paying for 1 transaction + mint fees).

So when bitcoin was $50k+, was this HDD actually worth a billion? Took him long enough to start searching.

That guy's been in the process of trying to find it since BTC was worth like $1000 or something and when it went to $20K he started trying to get the city to allow him to dig. It's been like seven years of this. There's another guy in the US who threw out a USB drive and has been doing the same thing for years.

I was actually wanting to disable that but never got around yet to figuring out how.

lol. just lol: New Yorker posted:I said that surely there was an easier way. The whole point of bitcoin was that it was immaterial. It was the eight thousand bitcoins that he was after, and they were the product of a computer algorithm. It was a matter of public record that someone owned them. Why not just run the system backward to the day that Howells mined his coins, and let him re-mine them? ELTON JOHN posted:just treat the hard drive like a rai stone and continue trading it

I think a lot about how waaaay back in the day I had the opportunity to buy 200 bitcoins for $20. I am positive I would have ended up like that guy having lost the hard drive. Alternatively I would have sold it at $50 and still been kicking myself to this day

is USD actual fiat money or is that also another crypto? I can't even tell anymore. These people would be the worst to try and sell a car to. Show me cash, no not monopoly money, or home printed money, no no, I have to walk your rear end to a bank..oh you don't actually have money in the bank? of loving course, why did you even try and buy the car? You think I'm gonna give you a car for gamer dollars?

USD is the generally accepted abbreviation for US Dollar so it's the money you can fold and spend at countless locations. There's USDC (whence the confusion and likely not a coincidence) which is Circle's coin which is going as well as could be expected.

LifeSunDeath posted:is USD actual fiat money or is that also another crypto? now traditionally, USD = "United States dollars", so one might make the mistake of assuming that that is actual money. BUT! Many (most? all?) crypto exchanges (including Coinbase now) tell you that you're transacting in "USD" and holding "USD" in your account, when behind the scenes it may actually be a "dollar-backed stablecoin" such as "USDC", which is very much not actual money, but is instead a crypto-based IOU from an extremely shady company that is busy dodging banking and securities laws. so if we're talking about "USD" on exchanges like Coinbase, the real, honest-to-god answer is: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Biff Rockgroin posted:Was there ever an official explanation for how Bitcoin was supposed to be superior to USD when it's only worth anything because you can trade it for USD? From what I remember the whole idea is that once you are into the BTC space you would exchange BTC like it was real money based on what both people agreed was fair. It's not a flaw in the system that exchanges didn't exist until some guy in New Jersey decided to repurpose a Magic The Gathering card exchange site that had failed to do anything into a BTC exchange (this guy would then sell the site knowing there were basic flaws in it, notified the buyer who didn't do anything about it either and then Mt. Gox became the first major crypto exchange to get hacked). Before that you needed to work directly with another person to exchange goods/services for BTC which led to some hilarious cases where people got robbed in Wal-Mart parking lots for at the time $100 in BTC which would now be "worth" like a million. The rise of exchanges and then lenders changed BTC from being a parallel currency into a store of value/investment asset. That and the pathetic transaction rate that the exchanges worked around by just keeping everything in their wallets and tracking who owns what on a database that isn't on a blockchain.
