  1. you get another mainboard to use as a sever or resell
  2. there's intel and they're not bad
  3. reminds me of n-gate
  4. But not intimate use of their AR platform
  5. Necroing this, but my general opinion is that anonymousity is more of a question of extent and the shape of anonymousity sets than a binary condition of anonymouse/public. But you are correct that we can never satisfy the binary condition.

    Given enough foresnsics, it's possible to link pseudoanonymouse identities to real identities. See chainalysis. I'm sure if you apply stylometry to either of our posts, you could uncover our identities. I think there was a post here doing just that.

    So my real problem with the pseudoanonymouse model is that when if fails, it generally favors centralized institutions in who are capable of the surveilance needed for correlation. It is asymmetric. People say that bitcoin's transparency is a feature, but the feature is only accessible to those with the metadata, like arkham or chainalysis. Reputation systems can be very useful though.

  6. It's more like a phone book
  7. the upgradability and interchangibility of parts in the framework ecosystem are needed to sustain a shelling point.

    As for the PC ecosystem, there are no good x86 cpus with good power effciciency. Maybe geohot would like https://metacomputing.io/products/metacomputing-arm-aipc ? Framework 13 does not have his specific touchpad complaint

  8. classifieds, directories, that sort of thing
  9. The transaction wasn't really anonymouse in the first place, but I agree that the UI should warn users more when working in "light wallet" mode.
  10. The current implementation of monero's tech is less advanced than zcash, but stealth addresses are as secure as ECC gets. The idea comes from ECDH.

    The weakness in monero's cryptography is dependence on ring signatures, which will be improved with the FCMP++ upgrade. In other words, it is an issue of sender privacy. Stealth addresses protect recipient privacy.

  11. I didn't find a major trust or cost issue. I just use kraken. Or you can use any other fiat-to-crypto exchange and then take it to a crypto-to-crypto exchange.

    I think the bigger obstacle to most people is just the idea that cryptocurrency is difficult, and the idea that buisnesses are trustworthy by default.

  12. Equities markets don't have to deal with "tainted" transactions, because every transaction is like a government-approved deed or title transfer.

    Bitcoin's transaction rate is artificially limited.

  13. It's developed naturally through reputation systems, escrow, etc.
  14. Cheating in whose game? We make our own luck.
  15. I do. I find the translation features useful
  16. what political and social pressures are squirrels under that trigger them to gather food for other animals?
  17. you're splitting hairs. Squirrels evolve to save more food for themselves, everything else is an accident
  18. That is interesting, because the chinese do care about in-groups
