I mean Grindr has a vastly uneven ratio of men to women, and they've done pretty well. Sounds like somebody just isn't thinking like a disruptor.

What was the story there again? It was "fixed" by a hard-fork early on right?
yeah, basically a new rev was released that fixed the overflow bug that produced the 184 billion butts and also rolled the blockchain back to the block before the exploit, undoing ~6 hours of "legit" mining in addition to the bug

had the misfortune to get into it with some little crypto freak and he came so close to having a realization. he perfectly describes git without knowing it.

quote:

Imagine if you had a Git repo that everyone could access and everyone could push commits to and hundreds of thousands of systems around the world all independently validated that every single commit was legit and that the chain as a whole was valid and that the whole timeline going back to inception was replayable commit to commit all the way till now. Now add in that it is redundantly stored in tens of thousands of places and would take shutting down all of them to disable it. That’s an immutable blockchain.

they used to put all sorts of people on money, not just presidents. i gave up on completely fixing this because the original is an absolute mess and i was just using them as printer tests, but william l. marcy (secretary of state, secretary of war, ny gov. etc) pops up a lot:

Real talk, the first looks to be a United States Note, which was a form of fiat currency during the gold standard era. The second is effectively a silver deposit certificate.

yeah, it's been theorized before that one way Tether issues USDT is by printing up a bunch of unbacked USDT and lending it to an affiliate or a crypto exchange (and then recording that loan balance as one of their reserve assets). if that theory was correct, then it's possible that what we're seeing here is borrowers returning their borrowed USDT to Tether in satisfaction of their loans, rather than Tether actually redeeming USDTs for cash.

you mean "Tether literally did precisely that thing and it's one of the things the CFTC busted them for"

The CFTC settlement with Tether posted:

At various times during the Relevant Period, Respondents also considered anticipated receivables and anticipated wire transfers as assets for purposes of calculating the Tether Reserves.

turns out they converted all the customer money into UST, and the part about spreading their holdings across multiple stablecoins was a lie

We're getting an enormous amount of emails from our customers who insist we should use their money to move to an island nation without any extradition agreements with the US and live a comfortably luxury until our deaths of old age. It's a strange request, but in this business we always listen to customers first and oblige their every whim.
