This can be addressed. Protocols not platforms™. However, these protocols need to have spam mitigation mechanisms built it. We need "RPoW" tokens deployed ubiquitously.

Spam is the reason. Phone numbers are a costly resource to spammers. Having them permanently banned from Discord after spamming is a way to keep spam down quite a lot. I've been wo…

C++'s compile times are caused by design issues. Dlang compiles nearly instantaneously (for example). Lack of modules, and abiguities in the syntax are roughly what causes it.

I've already built a fully working prototype of all of this, and am looking for funding to complete it. It also supports a number of other things such as pay-to-mail that have been…

Tipping is to incentivize personalized, special, service. The proliferation of it is because people forgot what it's for. Don't tip when you're a fungible customer.

What are you talking about? This works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_depolymerization The carbon without hydrogen produced CO, and it is burned to produce CO2, and that is…

They're shortsighted fools.

My first floor flooded on NYE. I'm not looking forward to Wednesday -- will likely flood again. Going to be a lot of $$$ to repair and fix the drainage.

Bitcoin can do that many transactions fairly easily with the changes we made for eCash. All the quadratic performance bottlenecks were removed.

Agree with you. However, Stamp is federated only for encrypted direct messages. The twitter-ish feeds are shared everything, and anyone can spin up a node. Anyone can post anything…

Yup. The UX is going to be tricky. In the system I'm building there's a shared-everything KV store that your client publishes to similar to their system. I've got a system worked o…

This is a step in the right direction. Federated protocols that aren't moderated or controlled by private organizations is critical for free speech -- but I wonder how moderation w…

I've been working on an interesting concept precisely for this sort of thing. It's pay-to-post and DM authors in a decentralized and unmoderated way (moderation happens via the mic…

I am more concerned about the Ozone damage. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/147776209027688...

And that book has literally nothing to do with what is being discussed.

I would like to know what the Ozone impact these rockets will have is. It's my understanding that they burn quite a bit of the ozone up as they pass through; but my information cou…

CBDCs will be an absolute disaster for personal privacy, and personal liberty. Piss off the wrong person in the right position and suddenly there's a "mistake" where you can't func…

I have been working on a decentralized social media platform that uses a token w/o cash value as a reputation and moderation system. The goal is to avoid needing a centralized cont…

> At least I had a role in electing the government and can change my vote based on their performance. The real crux. You want control over what other people do.

This is a common mistake w/r/t Proof of Work. It doesn't prevent Sybil attacks. The Bitcoin whitepaper performs slight of hand to say "instead of identities, we'll use CPUs" which …

If this is a topic you (reader) care deeply about, I have been building an open source project to avoid having a centralized authority on messaging while also keeping out the endle…

This is a paper I wrote on this topic and a proposed solution based on the work of Hal Finney. You might find it interesting: https://www.stampchat.io/whitepaper.pdf

Except that basic income is a flat amount, and taxes are progressive and %. Thus, there's an equilibrium point. It doesn't cause some runaway inflation. It would also allow removin…

This is caused by credit money. When you issue currency based on loans, there's always debt associated. For every dollar saved, more than a dollar of liabilities have to exist some…

It's very likely that Pearl Harbor was intentional to get popular support for entering World War 2. There's evidence that the president had been briefed on the attack and they inte…
