Chris Knight posted:The other primary function is support for Web3, aka blockchain-based decentralized internet, aka the buzzy new thing among crypto enthusiasts (and skeptics). On top of providing extra security via blockchain encryption, it allows users to access things like GameFi "where you can earn as you play your way through all sorts of metaverses," Opera notes. i really want to sit these people down and go "ok explain what the gently caress you think any of these words mean"

what makes it a "blockchain-based decentralized internet", what do you think an internet is also it's minor but i notice the fiat-to-crypto on-ramp doesn't have any corresponding off-ramp to get actual money back out, i'm sure that's just an oversight though

The original Opera team, making the pretty solid Vivaldi instead ever since their buyout years back, have been open for months about how they will never make this mistake and god, sometimes I wonder if a former coworker or two don't just share notes going "hey you know what dumb poo poo WE got asked to implement today?" at all of their desperate scraping.

quote:There are several advantages to using crypto: Afghans fleeing the Taliban can take their assets with them without risk. Humanitarian agencies seeking to bypass banks and discreetly avoid the Taliban can provide cash directly to those in need. Smugglers and intermediaries who may steal or try to resell aid packages can be circumvented if aid is given directly through a digital transaction. boy there's a lot of asterisks next to all of these statements, weird that they forgot to add them

quote:“We can’t get money through banks, but 88 percent of Afghan families have at least one smartphone,” said Kakar, who hopes to facilitate money transfers of afghanis, along with USDC, another stablecoin. He is in the process of setting up money-exchanging shops at which Afghans can obtain QR codes or trade crypto for hard currency. hey guess who controls the "money-exchanging shops"

like do these people think crypto is one weird trick the taliban don't know about and will just ignore, let alone use themselvesquote:Kakar explained that many steps are in place on his app to ensure that users are authenticated. HesabPay, Kakar’s company, is running commercials on Afghan television and radio stations to explain the product, which uses biometric technology (such as facial recognition) to identify users. lmao ok sure quote:Despite the steep learning curve and several barriers to entry, within Afghanistan using crypto is seen as an unqualified improvement on the status quo. Zafar recalled working in Afghanistan years ago, when militants would raid vans transporting cash around the country. Forough said that her sister’s bank account was seized by the Taliban after the U.S. withdrawal because of her work with Western groups. There are more and more new reports of banks closing. thank god they can't possibly do the exact same thing to crypto

Gazpacho posted:evading US sanctions by any means to feed the hungry is a noble effort is that what this is quote:With crypto, Forough’s tiny pocket of Afghanistan is surviving. “A group of our students just finished our academy scholarship, 77 of them,” said Forough. “Including, I believe, the very first female blockchain coders in Afghanistan. It’s very exciting even though the situation on the ground is not very pleasant.” cuz they talk a lot about humanitarian stuff and then weave in "oh by the way this person's business is training blockchain coders" or "oh by the way this person's business is some crypto app" which makes me real fuckin' skeptical about the entire rest of it

it helps people who want to send money into Afghanistan more than it helps people who need to use money in Afghanistan but that's still something i think
