You're gonna need google translate for this one but it's super funny. Some brazilian dude created a scam shitcoin, swindled a lot of people, one of them decided to kidnap his mother and sister in law

quote:

Kidnapper threatens to kill entrepreneur's mother if he doesn't get $ 8 million: 'A little homicide is little to me'

The businessman's old sister-in-law was caught in Anapolis and spent more than 10 hours under threat from criminals. They were rescued without injuries in rural MG.

Audios and videos released by the Civil Police show kidnapping threats to the business mother of Anápolis, 55 km from Goiânia. She and the victim's ex-sister-in-law were taken from the city and criminals asked for $ 8 million in bitcoins not to hurt women.

According to the investigations, the businessman has a company that works with cryptocurrency transactions that went into judicial recovery. The kidnapper would be one of the investors who felt aggrieved with the bankruptcy of the company and wanted to charge a part.

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
I checked on Ross the other day and he’s in Tucson, though the federal prisoner locator website is real bad, they should probably use a blockchain to track inmates for proof of incarceration.

i think that is very misleading. the exchanges have a very good chance of having your money stolen or lost before the exchange can exit scam themselves.

you'll be 0% surprised that this is 100% the usual bullshit

How it works:

quote:

Earlier this year, a Boeing 777-300 aircraft, bound for Los Angeles Airport (LAX) departing from Auckland (AKL), carried out a proof of concept centred around the simulation of a broken cabin part. Upon reaching cruising altitude, the crew radioed back to the Air New Zealand maintenance facility in Auckland to report a Business Premier bumper part - which sits between seat and monitor to ensure the seat isn’t damaged when the screen is pushed back to default position - needed replacing.

The maintenance team used its access to a digital catalogue of parts uploaded by Air New Zealand’s MRO provider, Singapore-based ST Engineering, and ordered a replacement component. ST Engineering identified the nearest certified 3D printing system to where the passenger plane was due to land and pushed the order through for Moog Aircraft Group to additively manufacture. This all happens at approximately 1am Pacific Time. By 7am, the mobile printer is deployed, printing the part ready for use well before the aircraft lands at 11am. Within 30 minutes of being on the tarmac, the part is replaced, and the plane can now complete its three more scheduled trips before returning to Auckland.

"but" you ask "this is just sending messages via computer. what does the blockchain bit do?"

quote:

Moog’s answer to this hypothetical, yet likely scenario is VeriPart, the programme which catalogued digital files of parts for Air New Zealand to access during the failed part simulation. This demonstration of the VeriPart programme validates Moog’s goal of creating a digital marketplace that is open to all part suppliers. VeriPart is a private permissioned environment, meaning the intellectual property of supplies is protected by encryption so only those with access can get information on parts. The need for physical inventory is taken away, parts can be requested on-demand, both in remote locations via mobile devices and with workstations on the shop floor. Meanwhile, Ethereum blockchain technology is ensuring traceability of every step of the process, from the design and production of parts, to the journey it takes from conception through to installation.

the only bit of the blockchain that does anything is: transactions are logged.
