This is the best topic ever created here on Memo.
Wrong. That would be Capitalism.
Seriously, describe to me how you'd steal a coffee with a doublespend and why it'd be worth it to even try. Spell out the economics and odds of success.
Same way they're doing it now. Best case it works and I get free coffee. Worst case it doesn't. If you had a 10%+ chance of getting free stuff wouldn't you take it?
Require a reasonable miner fee to accept zero conf and they'll have less than a second to try their double spend.
You mean like the 1sat/byte everyone here keeps touting? Or are you advocating we pay 10+ sat/byte to uphold the zero-conf narrative?
It's only stolen if you get away with goods.
"Yeah, my doublespend detector just lit up!, gonna chase that guy and his half empty coffee and get him to pay up!" -No One, Ever.
People constantly want to "fix" Bitcoin. There's no indication that 0-conf transactions are unsafe for the size/type of transactions they're useful for.
Except for doublespend.cash that shows how often successful double spends actually occur and how much money is stolen.
In here you can buy a passport and ID for 500USD hehe
How much does it cost you to leave Venezuela?
The beginning of the flippening?
Spoiler: It isn't.
Everytime LR uses buzzwords like brutal exploitation in his arguments.
Shapeshift is not a mixer. It's an exchange.
Y'all keep talking about txstreet and txhighway, I'm just over here waiting for
https://satoshis.place/ using Bitcoin Cash.
It's everyone's individual choice what they tip for posts they enjoy, but personally my default is 10,000 satoshi. I just don't feel right making a like without a tip. I'm already spending the network fee :)
hmm, using it to keep gov accountable sounds like a ring of power argument. aka some power we can wield to keep gov in check when in reality it will be turned against the general pop
Exactly.
Definitely. Shift card sucks at restaurants and gas stations. Direct adoption would be 100x better.
Did you order with the instant 5% or the additional discount? The 5% ones are usually processed instantly. Above that and you have to wait for an earner.
You'd definitely need a hard fork. And everyone would have to agree on it. Which isn't the case. Some prefer the transparent blockchain, as it supposedly make gov accountable.
People prefer transparent blockchains for that, and because tracability makes crime fighting and business auditing easier. But all of this is at the expense of privacy, and freedom.
And tbh, anything better than mixers at this point, is better than sticking with the status quo of mixers and blockchain analysis cat-mouse.
mixers are definitely a hack solution.
my worry too. but I'm so far from understanding the math that makes all this work so idk maybe its possible? 🤔

Pretty sure that kid got serious radiation exposure and was arrested. Maybe if we had an legalized, supervised environment for these kids to practice... Would've been different.
The real kicker is your mandated BY LAW to go through this. If you want a better education, parents have to pony up the cash and research the school type etc.
Which i believe is a complete waste, considering just how many years the school systems could have used to develop them.
Bottom line is, every student that comes out of public education leaves with abolutely 0 marketable skills.
We need education that threads students along career/specialization paths of their ability/choosing. Not throwing them on their ass when the diploma prints.
For most kids, public education teaches them to appease authority and do work they don't enjoy doing, or will never end up doing at all in adulthood.
