it just occurred to me that if that chia poo poo takes off, people will probably find ways to exploit free file storage services like dropbox and we'll all end up having to pay for that poo poo. gently caress cryptocurrencies
On the plus side, a non-zero knowledge cloud provider can see that kind of activity and ban offenders. If chiabrains use something that piggybacks on their existing cloud accounts like Boxcryptor, they're still going to trip the same kinds of alarms that lead to Microsoft clamping down on people using OneDrive as a full backup system.

I pay for Microsoft 365 so I get 1TB of space, and an additional TB is $10/month. How does the cost curve for chia look on that kind of price plan, assuming coiners are smart enough to distance it from their real Microsoft account (new CC, phone number, VPN cut-out, etc)?

from what i can tell the ssd is only useful for generating the data in the first place, so if it becomes a thing the platter drives will probably see a larger percentage increase in cost, since you’re most interested in $/TB.

I don't know enough about it and I don't think there's a chia-to-dollars exchange rate yet - I don't believe any trading platforms support it. but mere lack of economy to their activities hasn't stopped cryptocurrency enthusiasts in the past

Why would the original NFT seller retain a 10% commission on every subsequent sale? They can't even do money-laundering by art right.


Also, I would really like to know what the New York Times defines as the "original". The credulity of these journalists never ceases to amaze

hang on a sec, is a chia blockchain even up and running and processing transactions, or are people already losing their minds and bidding up hard drive prices just because Andreesen Horowitz threw some money at a goddamn whitepaper?

sounds like if you agree with the founders/ceo political leanings that's "apolitical" but if you disagree then this is clearly a political/social matter not suitable for the workplace

i mean certain classes of people are just inherently political, for example...
  • the two races: white, and political
  • the two genders: (cis) male, and political
  • the two sexualities: straight, and political
  • the two classes: upper middle class, and political
  • the two politics: radical technocratic centrism, and political (extremist)
and so on

political people should not have their viewpoints brought up in the presence of a technoking (may his taxes ever be zero), lest the technoking (may he never glimpse a poor) be offendedly distracted from creating™ jobs™

buried deep in the list of things they're getting rid of to streamline and de-politicize the office was a diversity committee so I mean, yes

also this was all in response to the CEO getting owned in the company slack so hard he threw a massive public tantrum

in this case I believe the Political Race was "asians" which is at least a little change of pace i guess
