can someone explain to me how a sidechain is different from an altcoin running in parallel w/ bitcoin over the same sha256 miners like namecoin?

i mean apart from buzzwords

tia

cause I think they're hard-pegged to bitcoin and can't really challenge it for cryptocurrency supremacy since they're all coded on the same blockchain

or something

also it helps get around the 7 tx/s limit by using coins on a sidechain

that whole tinfoil theory also proves that people are ridiculously terrible with large numbers, there's this dissonance between gov't is printing infinimoney, gov't sees bitcoin as valuable but is doing these tiny ninja buys to keep the price low, and why doesn't the gov't just plop it's balls on the table menacingly and print infinimoney to buy out everyone?

the us gov't could swallow the entire bitcoin economy in one gulp aka the price of like a jet fighter if they put up 1000$ buys all around, a couple bil is literally fun money in the correct context

it's even easier than that. they just have to seize all the asic farms. since banksters control everything, China would obviously be on board. or poo poo, all they'd really need to do is secretly take control of a few big pools. nobody would even know, and they'd control 75% of the network with very little effort.

voting is fine and everything but it's seriously the laziest most basic form of political involvement. like if the level of political involvement were a job, voting would be like a part time gig at Walmart. at least it's something and it's certainly nothing to be ashamed of, but it's not the kind of thing you want to brag about either

I just went to my grandmas funeral and she's Mormon so they put her coffin within a giant gold coffin.

but my dad is orthodox Christian so after everyone left and before they closed the gold coffin and lowered it he sprinkled dirt on it. I thought it was kinda disrespectful. and at every opportunity he did that cross thing whee you tap your forehead, then abdomen and shoulders, which they don't do in Mormonism.

I hope you like my post

to clarify the dirt went in the gold coff

yes but my dad is a huge contrarian and I just know he neurotically has to stick it to his mum and family at every turn

still counts as closure. who the gently caress is he disrespectging. nobody knew and she dead

sometimes i miss being Catholic As gently caress. Atrocities aside, the culture and history is really enveloping and it makes you feel like you're part of a bigger thing.

oh also re: tipping in traffic

how will that work with no charge backs

if I'm in front of you and you give me a quarter to let you pass, I can always not let you pass and, knowing you're in a rush, extort you for more tips

alternately, if you're supposed to tip after I cede the lane, what recourse do I have if you just don't pay me, or if youre double spending your coins up and down the highway

I think the real problem with self driving cars is that either everyone will have to use them or nobody will use them, cause a computer isn't gonna be able to anticipate and improvise around the behavior of a bunch of idiot humans
