so the talk literally went like this the problem with bartering is that there's too much random poo poo that people might not want so gold, then money are great to store the value now let's break those back up in to millions of other little things again creating the exact same problem as before

RubberJohnny posted:so can Butterfly Labs not just go "these are for mining crypto not BTC specifically, people could have made money on any of these things at any date with any cryptocurrency" almost no altcoins use the same algorithm as bitcoin because to do so nowadays is to get your coin stomped into the ground by one of the bitcoin devs (basically he'll point his pool at your coin and gently caress with it until it's useless); many altcoins use scrypt (which litecoin popularized) and you can't mine a scrypt coin with a bfl miner. i think namecoin uses the same algorithm as bitcoin, and most of the mining that happens with namecoin is called "merged mining" which means it happens in parallel with bicoin, so you get paid in both as you mine.

why does the Bitcoin dev do that? seems counter to open source. like make stuff open source then actively kill it's forks with guerrilla warfare until people are afraid to use it. also I thought it had to do with keeping things fair and massively inefficient.

Pyramid schemes built upon forks of the Bitcoin software ultimately discredit and harm Bitcoin's reputation. I hope CoiledCoin will be the last of such scams now that it is clear there are people (not just myself) willing to stand up to them. Namecoin alone demonstrates a legitimate, innovative use of Bitcoin technology, and while I don't personally agree with their ideals/goals, I see it as a good thing for Bitcoin and worth cooperating with.

"rhymes with" can be an idiom for "is similar to" if you think of it that way the joke makes sense but is still a bad joke

i have literally never understood the purpose of the skateboard in that scene or of almost any scene in the movie but especially that bit also complete side note a friend of mine went to vegas saw penn and teller and told penn jillette "you were great in Hackers", which appeared to visibly irritate him
