chinese mining pools controlled over half the network hashrate combined, so this is decentralization, you see

actually, and I might be misremembering this, if a clearing member goes down the other clearing members are obliged to take on the positions to ensure they can be closed out. that's easy for physical positions,a bit less so for dumbass leveraged ones but you can reasonably assume that you might get aggressively closed out or margin called into oblivions if your internet comedy gold position is moved from clownshoes broker to idk ICE or whoever.

this was in the tweet, too, and I just can't get my head around how it made it to the final version

like, this isn't even standard bitcoin-dumb. this is grammatically unparseable. less secure than what? it's like they had a glimmer of awareness that they couldn't claim it was insecure, so they took a page from the rubber bullet pr handbook without considering how absolutely insane it sounds on first reading

the entire article is also complete nonsense combining completely unsupported assertions about the nature of cyber crime, its relationship to internet protocols, and fundamental misunderstandings of literally every topic mentioned

Yeah...but on the other hand if I was playing a game and it looked like someone had read a page of jokes on a web forum and just copied each and every one of them I'd think the game designer was a shithead. And I don't want to be a shithead. Well. Not that kind of shithead.

I got to the emptygox thing from the idea of having the game taking place in a town that's gradually going to poo poo due to bitcoin. I got the idea of "Decentralia mine fire" and that got me to Silent Hill and that became Empty Gox. This was like multiple major releases of blender and THREE.js ago, and back when I was first trying to implement this poo poo they didn't really play well together and I shelved everything because I had to wait through several releases until poo poo like skeletal animations were actually working. And I remember worrying at the time oh poo poo what if someone else gets the idea of implementing a bitcoin parody inside of a Silent Hill parody...and then thinking what the gently caress don't be stupid, who would think of that.
