I've been touching computers professionally for almost a decade and I've never heard the term failed wedding before. Or is it just a metaphor for this one thing?

"failed wedding" sounds like such a desperate metaphor, like the us military calling getting their asses kicked "alternative objectives" or "strategic re-maneuvers"

I think a failed wedding is where the priest elopes with the bride. the best response is to thank him for the important life lesson and ask for maybe one of the rings back

The paypal thing got me thinking which is always a dangerous situation. Given my limited knowledge of financial regulations, why aren't bitcoin miners considered payment processors? They get paid to move money around, wether in transaction fees or magiking up a new bitcoin. Since cryptocurrency is just internet crime coins anyway it seems you could kneecap a lot of it by subjecting miners to aml/cya regulations for the transactions in the blocks they mine?

Alright. I was at the mall today and saw this bitcoin I knew from my highschool hanging out with some fly fiat and handling the fiat's rear end and all that poo poo. The bitcoin was walking with a swagger, trying to look all hard and everything. But the bitcoin was a LITTLE BITCH back in HS and wasn't hard at all, EVERYONE would pick on the bitcoin. So I walked up and told the fiat, "why are you loving with the bitcoin, the bitcoin's a god drat PUSSY and isn't hard at all." The moral of this story, well...there isn't one. But it gets me loving pissed when currencies who have no right to act hard are acting all hard.

vortmax posted:because if they stop pretending tether is real the whole game collapses yeah, so long as that value remains within that normal range, it's far easier to sell tether on the exchanges than try to get the money directly from tether itself. the exchanges and tether all know what the game is and no one's going to let a bank run on tether happen, since it's far more useful to them as a stable-ish way to transfer value between exchanges. it's kinda fascinating to watch in action.
