Andy Dufresne posted:I want to respond to a random comment from a page ago just because I've been thinking about it. The claim was that tether is operating as a fractional reserve bank, which is bad enough on itself because tether is issuing loans to entities which aren't credit worthy, but it's worse than that. Tether isn't loaning deposits, they are loaning tethers that have been printed for the purpose of issuing the loan. is this good for bitcoin

Stealthgerbil posted:Get ready for a run on hard drives and high end SSDs thanks to Chia coin. Chia was made by the dude who invented bit torrent and it uses a different consensus and farming method which they say is more green but we all know that's not true. If you give a person a 40amp breaker they will max it no matter what. Its like instead of brute forcing hashes every single time to crack the next block, you plot out your hashes using high end NVMe SSDs onto hard drives that sit mostly idle and then each block everyone presents their already made hashes and whoever matches gets the reward. A sata hard drive uses like 5-8w of power instead of like 300w for a video card. Its a cool concept but you know what is even cooler? Sending an ACH transfer. so again something that does pointless "work" and wastes resources / drives the price of hardware up for no reason, gotcha like seriously would it be so hard to build one of these proof of work or whatever systems to actually crunch meaningful numbers or would that offend the idiot libertarian children that pay for their child porn and research chems with it

wait why do you need an SSD for the hash generation thing, could you not do that in RAM, or at least with a RAM-disk? I mean 512 gigs of RAM is a lot if it just has to have that much, but you can get secondhand servers on craigslist that could accommodate that and the cost of RAM would probably be worth the increase in speed over SSD storage and not wrecking said drives so quickly like I bought an HP server for VM use that can take 512 gigs easily, it has like 128 gigs now and buying the rest would have to be cheaper and more resilient than going through a pile of high end SSDs

xtal posted:I can see why something would seem worthless when you put your fingers in your ears and ignore all the benefits of it Please explain the advantages that blockchain provides over a distributed series of SQL servers. Be specific. Putting on my project / program management hat, I cannot for the life of me imagine a scenario where a blockchain solution - and the immense amount of change management, between retraining the IT staff to administer it, the security and controls team to understand it, and retraining support and end users to work with it, would be worth it over a properly secured and distributed network of SQL servers to store, access and audit the data. Something my organization already uses at a huge scale, and we have an entire building of people who know that technology stack extremely well. Now I grant you that "properly secured" - with auditing, tight access controls and policies in place - is a lot to ask, but a blockchain solution would also be vulnerable to these same problems, would it not? Thinking of the 51% attack problem specifically. Surely blockchain would still be vulnerable to people with too much access, operating in environments without proper controls and auditing, perhaps not in the specific ways as a SQL environment would be, though. To say nothing for the fact that I can throw a rock and hit a dozen people who are senior level DBAs or software / security / admin guys who know SQL like the backs of their hands, whereas blockchain dorks are going to probably cost me a lot more due to the niche nature of it, and I assume they'll be harder to find (at least good, experienced ones, given how new this is). And I'm going to admit a little personal bias here, but I would not trust a single blockchain "consulting firm" to not be a giant ripoff, considering... well, how normal consulting firms have been that I've worked with, but then adding on the general feeling I get from every business involved in blockchain/crypto. What problem does blockchain solve that SQL or other industry standard solutions can't, that makes it worth the investment? e. I'm not trying to say with this that "old technology good! we should never change!" because that's dumb, I just can't understand what blockchain does so much better that would justify the costs. Perhaps I'm the wrong market anyway, coming from a well established international corporation and not a small tech startup that would have the flexibility to pick whatever it wants to use, without having existing systems to migrate, I dunno. Still not sure why you wouldn't just go with a more industry standard technology there too, though. Code Jockey fucked around with this message at 22:34 on May 23, 2021 |

ChronoBasher posted:I feel like audit and accounting could benift somehow from blockchain, but I can't really figure out how? Our finance system can enable change tracking and auditing for every single record / ledger / data point that it tracks, and show you who touched what, when, and what they did. Have we done this, though? No, but the option is there.  Again I have to ask if companies couldn't just rewrite history if they had enough access to that blockchain, AKA if someone gave the CFO top level admin on the blockchain machines or he paid off some IT nerds to do it or something. Again isn't that the whole idea of the 51% attack, that if you have enough control (which would be considerably easier in a private, smaller scale blockchain, I assume) you can do whatever you want anyway?
