Powershift posted:Well, Visa processes around 60 billion transactions per year. If they were to use the same amount of electricity per transaction as bitcoin did at it's peak, it would use 32.76 trillion KWH per year This is actually good for bitcoin, because increasing worldwide use of bitcoin will drive the development of fusion power plants.

Youtube still probably has like $70 from a video I made because they won't cut a check until it hits $100 or something like that. That was annoying bullshit, and I was aware it was happening! I'd be pretty loving mad if somebody was "collecting donations" on my behalf without my knowledge, especially if they don't pay out until it hits $100.

Motronic posted:I just don't see how this could be permitted in the US or Canada based on current amateur radio regulations. So, just another day for crypto. As long as the traffic is signed but not encrypted, and they're doing it as a proof of concept, they're probably fine. I would think as soon as you actually start doing regular transactions to actually pay for poo poo over ham radio you're gonna run into trouble. A proof of concept for a system that could never actually be deployed. So, just another day for crypto.

Motronic posted:Perhaps in a very generous interpretation. But sending a payment, whether for a proof of concept or not, immediately fails the pecuniary value test of the regulators on both sides of this transaction. Now it's got media behind it. I'm hoping to see two licensees getting sanctioned. I think it's going to need a letter from the FCC to clarify things, because I can't think of an existing technology that allowed you to literally send money securely over the air. I guess you could give the info for a wire transfer, but even that involves an out-of-band operation. If I was going to argue that you shouldn't throw the book at these guys, I'd go something like this: quote:An amateur operator may notify other amateur operators of the availability for sale or trade of apparatus normally used in an amateur station, provided that such activity is not conducted on a regular basis. Suppose you hop on a net and mention you're selling an antenna. That's ok as per the above. Somebody says he wants it. You say ok, mail a check to my license address and I'll mail you the antenna. I would assume that's ok. Suppose instead of saying mail me a check, you said switch over to <freq> and send me the money with this Lightning bullshit. The money is being transferred as part of the sale of amateur radio apparatus (allowed), via unencrypted transmissions (allowed), presumably via some sort of digital mode (allowed). Edit: if it's been established that actually arranging for the sale of your radio equipment on the air isn't ok, then the above argument is meaningless so gently caress 'em I don't want buttcoiners sending butts over the airwaves, but I think there may be gaps in the rules because it's not something you could do up until recently. I think the FCC and their Canadian counterparts should tell people not to do it, and I think the rules should be updated as soon as possible to explicitly disallow it. Of course, most hams being 130 years old, it would probably never be used much in any case, and as soon as someone mentions the word "crypto" on qrz.com there'll be a great harrumphing and many posts in ALL CAPS ABOUT HOW BAD IT IS - 73S BILL

isndl posted:Even assuming this wasn't already in violation of FCC regulations, they'd have to devise some sort of means to prevent crosstalk as the number of participants goes up. Eventually they'll recreate cellular communications, except they'll have implemented it poorly and thrashed the public spectrums into uselessness while doing so. Par for the course with crypto. Yeah I mean if you really want to sell your radio gear over the air AND you find someone else in the Venn diagram intersection of "ham licensee" and "buttcoin enthusiast" you could just tell the guy to send butts to such-and-such a wallet address, right? You can't make the usual ham argument that it's a good thing to have in case of catastrophe, because why do you need to send fake Internet money from Canada to the US right now during a disaster which has apparently knocked out all Internet service?

I mean that sounds pretty cyberpunky. This is basically how all small electronics projects are done in China already. It's also how they're done in the US, in that the US company sends a guy to China to find all the other people needed.

divabot posted:It sort of does: the UUCP email network common in the 1980s. This is when we didn't have DNS, so instead of sending email to bob@example.com, you'd need to map out the complete path to bob by hand, e.g. somemachine!ucbvax!kremlin!thefrigginmoon!portal!well!example!bob - "bang-path" email. Pathalias (https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/papers/pathalias.paper.pdf) and the UUCP Mapping Project eventually helped make this less painful. Still required too much coordination and manual mapping.
