This can be addressed. Protocols not platforms™. However, these protocols need to have spam mitigation mechanisms built it. We need "RPoW" tokens deployed ubiquitously.

Spam is the reason. Phone numbers are a costly resource to spammers. Having them permanently banned from Discord after spamming is a way to keep spam down quite a lot. I've been working on this exact problem for years, and have solved

C++'s compile times are caused by design issues. Dlang compiles nearly instantaneously (for example). Lack of modules, and abiguities in the syntax are roughly what causes it.

I've already built a fully working prototype of all of this, and am looking for funding to complete it. It also supports a number of other things such as pay-to-mail that have been talked about for years. https://web.stampch

Tipping is to incentivize personalized, special, service. The proliferation of it is because people forgot what it's for. Don't tip when you're a fungible customer.

What are you talking about? This works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_depolymerization The carbon without hydrogen produced CO, and it is burned to produce CO2, and that is used to actually heat the mixture.

My first floor flooded on NYE. I'm not looking forward to Wednesday -- will likely flood again. Going to be a lot of $$$ to repair and fix the drainage.

Bitcoin can do that many transactions fairly easily with the changes we made for eCash. All the quadratic performance bottlenecks were removed.

Agree with you. However, Stamp is federated only for encrypted direct messages. The twitter-ish feeds are shared everything, and anyone can spin up a node. Anyone can post anything. Good luck taking it down from all the nodes. That's t

Yup. The UX is going to be tricky. In the system I'm building there's a shared-everything KV store that your client publishes to similar to their system. I've got a system worked out for recovering your account in a decentral

This is a step in the right direction. Federated protocols that aren't moderated or controlled by private organizations is critical for free speech -- but I wonder how moderation will be handled on systems like this... It seems inevita

I've been working on an interesting concept precisely for this sort of thing. It's pay-to-post and DM authors in a decentralized and unmoderated way (moderation happens via the micropayments). I cross-posted this blog over there:

I would like to know what the Ozone impact these rockets will have is. It's my understanding that they burn quite a bit of the ozone up as they pass through; but my information could be wrong.

CBDCs will be an absolute disaster for personal privacy, and personal liberty. Piss off the wrong person in the right position and suddenly there's a "mistake" where you can't function at all in society. I highly recomme

I have been working on a decentralized social media platform that uses a token w/o cash value as a reputation and moderation system. The goal is to avoid needing a centralized content moderator. I'd love to chat about it if it sou

This is a common mistake w/r/t Proof of Work. It doesn't prevent Sybil attacks. The Bitcoin whitepaper performs slight of hand to say "instead of identities, we'll use CPUs" which are obviously what Sybil attac

This is caused by credit money. When you issue currency based on loans, there's always debt associated. For every dollar saved, more than a dollar of liabilities have to exist somewhere. Where's it go? People in debt (aka the poor

It's very likely that Pearl Harbor was intentional to get popular support for entering World War 2. There's evidence that the president had been briefed on the attack and they intentionally did not move the fleet.

It is a scam -- all current crypto is a scam for the same reason. One of the other things that people don't understand is that currency and government are inseparable. When you buy Eth (or any other crypto) you're buying into a ne
