InternetJunky posted:On a personal level, as someone who just had to move a large sum of money for my mom from Holland to Canada, being able to buy bitcoin in Euro and cash out in Canadian without being subjected to the banking system's awesome exchange rate bullshit would be one use I'd love to see. On the one hand, I bet this was a PITA. On the other hand, it should be a PITA because that's how Holland and Canada make sure your mom paid taxes and isn't laundering money for criminals and so on. What you are saying is "My family has a large enough amount of money that dealing with it takes some effort." Booo hooo. If it was enough money to care about exchange rates and whatnot, you're ahead of the vast majority of everyone else in this world. ohnobugs posted:I wouldn't mind divabot posting a little more about his books. I didn't notice he had a second one out until about six months after it was published. Real life hosed up the second book, because facebook abandoned the whole thing before the book was out. The first book is the story of a 50 car pileup on the freeway, where every car was driven by an rear end in a top hat that sucked and you wanted to see wrecked. The second book is the story of zuckerberg ripping a really wet nasty fart in public and having a brief "oops did I poo poo myself" look on his robo face. But then the narrator has to tell you that no, he didn't poo poo himself, oh well.

I can't believe that people get paid for writing books about history either!! All they do is just read a bunch of poo poo that other people said about what happened at the time and then try and condense them and make a coherent and hopefully correct narrative out of them? like, get a job jospehus

xtal posted:The key difference is Byzantine fault tolerance and censorship resistance. If you don't need that, then of course you'd use a more simple solution. The use case for blockchains is extremely narrow, and a corporation using a blockchain is contradictory. (Blockchains are trustless, but corporations are built on trusting the state already.) This is the single most coherent thing I've ever seen you post.

Not even sure how to respond to you to be honest. I'm sorry my mom's brother died and left her part of the proceeds from the sale of his house? I didn't realise that this makes my point about banks taking huge amounts of money due to poo poo currency exchange rates on money transfers invalid. By the way, none of that exchange rate bullshit has anything to do with anti-money laundering provisions. It's pure grift from the banks.

ChronoBasher posted:I feel like audit and accounting could benift somehow from blockchain, but I can't really figure out how? It doesn't really solve anything as others have said. Audit trails are already features of most ledgers. It would make transactional processing an object of abject terror because if you make a mistake, the only way to fix it is manual journal entries. This would quickly become a mess and cause more problems than it solves in understanding what in the hell is going on.

Good on you for admitting you dont understand blockchain. Comparing blockchain to SQL databases shows where you are going wrong in your thinking. It's like saying "why use BitTorrent when you can just use a fileserver?" Think about that and maybe you'll have the light bulb moment that millions of other people have had. Cheers.

Transferwise. Although it's just called Wise now, because I guess that sounds more techy and exciting. I've moved a fair bit of cash around with it and it is much cheaper than using a bank. It's also legal, recorded and there's not human trafficking or money laundering involved. Plus if you gently caress up some numbers moving your money around it's not just gone forever and you have some recourse.

Somfin posted:Why do you think it's a "pretty good comparison?" For one, wallet addresses look a lot like magnet URIs. Really though, the reason they look the same is because they are content addressed storage. For something to be decentralized and secure, it can't have a human readable name (Zooko's triangle.) In contrast, a file server or SQL database trades off decentralization for human readable names. When they are distributed (such as a sharded SQL database) they aren't resistant to Byzantine faults. Out of all the examples, blockchains and bittorrent are the two that choose secure and decentralized but not human readable.
