I dare say “why the long face?”

Yes, why not?

Satisfactory. It’s so fun automatizing stuff for 4 hours that could have been done manually in 30 minutes. I like looking at all of my work in the game and thinking “how, this is impressive”.

If you like building I guess Minecraft is an epic choice. I have sunk hundreds of hours into the game, easily

No, I just didn’t check if something named “gregtech” exists before registering my domain name lol

Signal still has that PII tho

Proof of Stake only shines compared to Proof of Work. There’s no consensus algorithm that isn’t blown out of the water by conventional database tech performance-wise and there never will be because of the network character of blockchain tech.

Why do you use Lemmy, which is far less efficient than a centralized system, because of its network character?

Its business model and not requiring a phone number

Yes, but it has ads, for which you have to pay to get rid of. I can’t stand ads so I’d pay, and so would most people.

Why did you post this in !worldnews@lemmy.ml?

Yes, my cat is very similar to this one too. I, too, thought it was her for a second

Object storage is indeed insanely cheap

Nice Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger

Okay, you have won at Lemmy. You may retire now

OwO

The 2nd Slovenian in this thread, stuff is getting interesting.

You beat me to it. Also, we meet again!

Lol, all of these words sound fake but are real

I agree that a lot of cryptocurrencies are scams, but if you’re worried about inefficiency, you can use proof of stake crypto, such as Polkadot. It uses as much energy as 5 households iirc. Even if everyone can see transactions, no one can take that money away from you, which banks can easily do.

Blockchain tech never was meant for privacy (how could it with the ledger being public?)

Stuff like Monero can hide that. And even bitcoin is better than banks. You don’t have to link your identity to a Bitcoin wallet, meanwhile some banks even want a sample of your voice.

Not really. You can use crypto to make non-criminal transactions too. You sound exactly like EU politicians, “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear”. Are you saying that you don’t need privacy with your transactions? If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy. And it’s the same with crypto.
