imo http://www.beepboopbitcoin.com is the most impressive thing that came out of those early years. sad that v3 never came out

dude showed up in this thread to talk about v3 a while back (cuz we stumbled on some of the same jokes he did by coincidence and he wanted to make sure he didn't come off as ripping us off :3:) and is apparently still making it

Remember PirateAt40? He had the largest bitcoin ponzi ever (with something like 10% of all active butts invested on it) and I just checked its numbers and they look so quaint today.

40 million in losses.

No models currently exist for how US cities can incorporate cryptocurrencies into their economies and government operations. But Stanley argues that MiamiCoin will be used for local business transactions, facilitate software development, and even one day furnish a source of a universal basic income for residents. Stacks is also running an accelerator program for CityCoins, and recently accepted 11 new companies to build gaming, educational, and financial apps for its cities.

Even as MiamiCoin’s price plummets, Stanley insists that it can and will have practical applications soon.

soon! there's gonna be a miami metaverse or something i bet! just you wait and see!!

quote:

In an interview, he acknowledged legitimate criticisms of cryptocurrencies, a space rife with scams, deceit, and puffery, but insisted CityCoins is an exception, a rare crypto product with transformative potential. “One type of person thinks that everything in crypto is a scam,” Stanley told Quartz. “Another type of person thinks ninety-nine percent of crypto is a scam but one percent is insanely important. I’m in that latter group. Bitcoin, Stacks, Ethereum, CityCoins. That all falls in that one percent of projects that are not only not scams, but incredibly important.”

there are two types of people in the world: those that think everything in crypto is a scam, and people about to be ripped off

Last August the SEC was saying that it needed congressional approval to regulate crypto. My impression is that they've wanted to act in that space for a long time but some of the rules were outdated and holding them back.

my impression was they took a long hard look at it, saw it was incredibly stupid and horrible but had a bunch of Real Actual Rich People Money in it now, and went "hooo boy... uh..." and chucked it over the fence to congress so they didn't have to deal with it

See, all you need to do is to get hundreds of students you went to the same Uni 20 years ago but never interacted with to confirm your degree is real. But also any rando can steal your degree that way.

The soul bound token is the latest example of cryptobros not understanding that you usually don't want an immutable database. There's all kinds of reasons that you'd want, or be legally required, to change information in a DB.

What happens if the SBT degree needs to be revoked due to cheating? What if the holder changes their legal name?

judging by how key recovery works, you just get a majority of your cluster peers to vote on it and agree to do it, easy peasy and not at all subject to abuse or bias
