Comment Antifragile (Score 1) 44

The protocols worth keeping around are antifragile and will become stronger because of this. Forcing tokens off exchanges to be staked directly by individuals will increase decentralization. If the protocol isnt capable of functioning in the face of bad regulation, it shouldnt exist at all. Ethereum gad made bad design decisions and they are paying the price. Other noncustodial staking protocols where you users can delegate to stake pools without ever losing custody will benefit after the fiat settles.

Comment Re: Where does the money come from? (Score 1) 44

Ignorance abound in slashdot. Rewards from staking generally are a combination of transaction fees and inflation. Many protocols have a set number of coins that will ever be minted and an emission curve defining the amount of inflation over what time period. Many layer ones initially find themselves with the base asset (eth,ada, etc) and will transition to be funded by transaction fees from side gains they provide security for.

Comment Re: SEC won't ban it (Score 1) 44

This isnâ(TM)t entirely true. Some PoS protocols were implemented with noncustodial staking. This clearly precludes the staking of coins from being deemed a security since a userâ(TM)s funds never leave their wallet and so canâ(TM)t be considered an investment. Additionally, some protocols are working on implementing Identification solutions to allow for compliance as required. Yes, their is a lot of grift, but there is real innovation that will stand the test of time.

Comment Properties of money (Score 1) 231

Money is a technology. Itâ(TM)s well known that a technology acting as a money needs to optimize a few properties. Specifically, durability, divisibility, recognizability, scarcity, and portability. Tell me a money in existence that optimizes for these better than Bitcoin. No one is saying btc is a currency. It isnâ(TM)t. It has been defined by us law as property and that makes it the de facto law of the world. But when it comes to storing value and transporting that value across space and time, there is no better mechanism in existence to do that. For all the people on here who donâ(TM)t understand this and think Bitcoin equals tulips, just consider those properties above. They are not even remotely the same thing. You are wrong. You have already been proven wrong. Please shut the fuck up and stop being so salty, you dinosaurs fucks.

Comment Seems easy to bypass (Score 1) 145

This model was trained using known hashes of existing child porn data sets. 1. The image of your child would never be flagged unless it was included in the training set. 2. This method of search seems easy to bypass. Literally change any pixel the image and the hash would be completely different. Itâ(TM)s possible that they do a random sampling of an image and check the hash of that but still, seems like there will be easy methods to avoid detection.
