but... the contracts are smart!

smart contracts are awesome because they're basically "contracts that google for specific things to have happened"

then you enter a death pool that Bill Clinton will be the next president to die and CNN runs a headline that says "new bill by Josh Clinton dies on Wyoming senate floor" and congrats you're a winner

however they perfectly encapsulate the bitcoin founding principles of paranoia technofetishism and naivety

You'd only become their legal fiction, they could still refuse to create joinder by simply not touching your face.

i like to think it was taken on an old school sony digital camera with the 3.5 floppy disks. i used to think parents who used that into the late 2000s "because how do you get the pictures off without a floppy?" were dumb as all hell, but now i realize it's a cute kind of dumb now that i am older and have seen more aggressive and mean-hearted forms of dumb. the world needs more :3: kind of dumb.

uhh using any of the like 10 flash standards available at the time or even better special proprietary serial/parallel connections to get photos off non-removable memory really was a pain in the rear end then. nothing stupid about the floppies at all.

widespread usb solved the real problems, but that took quite a bit.

tldr; the thread is going to pick a thread participant and hopefully crowdsource making them rich. the way you participate is post a comment to enter, then vote in the "how you want to be paid" poll.

SURPRISE two of the methods are bitcoin, and only other one is paypal....

stealing this from the grey thread:

http://www.startupsmart.com.au/fina...4112413685.html

tl;dr SALES TAXES ON BITCOIN ARE BAD BECAUSE WHY WOULD THE INTERNET IS NOT A FAX MACHINE something something

but then:

quote:

“For example, a car could use the blockchain to identify its owner,” he says.

“So instead of being presented with a physical key, you can present it with a key that’s a mobile wallet, for example, which proves ownership to your car every time you step inside, over Bluetooth with your mobile wallet. The interesting thing here is you could sell your car to someone, and transfer that total in a bitcoin transaction. We create a transaction that has two parts. One part has $10,000 and the other part of the transaction transfers the key token from my car (to the new owner).

“As soon as that transaction is recognised on the blockchain, the car can validate that transaction itself. The car says this transaction says I have a new owner, this transaction has proof of work behind it, and has been included in the block, therefore I believe it because it’s on the blockchain.

“I basically not just sold the title and transferred it, but I also transferred electronic control of the car.

“The internet of things, combined with the internet of money, you have this incredible potential for creating tokens that transfer ownership, for anything you can imagine. And that’s a really exciting thing.”

so how do you start the car then? even those fancy pants keyless entry/startup cars need a fob. so what, post a signed tx to start it?

tbf that part wouldn't need to go through the blockchain, it's just normal public key crypto

the only way in which bitcoin could be said to be "innovating" in this usecase is that in theory you could have the buyer sending the money and the seller sending ownership in the same transaction, signed by both parties so it doesn't go ahead without both agreeing. but that's totally useless if you happen to live in the real world instead of a beep boop byzantine generals ancap dystopia with no chargebacks

who cares if some shitlord's space heater calculated some numbers if the request is fraudulent to begin with? bitcoiners very easily conflate "proof of work" with "true" all that car poo poo would only make it fantastically easy for someone to steal your car, because the wallet with your car key in it certainly isn't going to be on an air gapped laptop in your masturbatorium
