This reminds me of when I wrote got into ciphers in highschool and wrote a program that a bunch of crazy poo poo based on substitution cipher and thought it was uncrackable and gonna be worth millions, lol

i wrote an "encrypted" chat program in high school that added the ascii value of each character in the cypher text to each character in the message text, sequentially, and sent the result to the recipient.

this guy may or may not have a better grasp of encryption than i did at 16

is "bitcoin cash" somehow different from "bitcoin"?

yes, bitcoin cash has the word "cash" in the name for instance.

you should go read about all the incredible drama that surrounded the schism that formed bitcoin cash. idk where you'd find a good summary other than maybe divabot's site, but it was incredible watching it unfold in real time via the thread

hell, that probably got voted down by bitcoiners because they specifically mentioned bcash

it's always fascinating when people who've posted four times in a decade suddenly have opinions on bitcoin because you can never really be sure if their account got popped and sold to seraph or if they're really just weirdly passionate about the nature of trust

we're debating whether to offer the whole gamut of skin colour options for your virtual hand, just let people pick any color, or skip all that work and just make the hand shiny chrome. i figure the subsurface light scattering poo poo is critical for the visceral realism people crave when they waste $5 on nothing but maybe 90s environment maps are good enough?

you definitely want to save the chrome hand for the cyberpunk dlc pack

Any negative effects on the "usefulness" of bitcoin now that 20% or whatever of it's power usage has been removed?

blocks will be mined slower for a while, so transactions will take even longer to process (on chain) than they usually do. eventually the difficulty will reduce and the transaction time will go back to merely terrible, instead of abysmal. otherwise, not really.

it's not technically impossible, but it's not practical to do in any sense, if you had a way of supplying that much of the hashrate for any length of time there are tons of other ways you could completely gently caress with the blockchain.

frisbee on the roof was always a hypothetical that only worked if bitcoin was already dying and is very much the ron paul meme .gif in that it is never really happening

you'll note, this is actually good for bitcoin because...
