ethereum scamcoins?
proof of stake is literally plutocracy.
prof of stake means everyone who is already rich gets freshly printed money.

distribution is concentrated and core folks ate firk believer in Futacracy, including Vitalik Buterin who said this is his religion.

Countless people were and are still being scammed.

It is a shadow government authoritarian structure with large companies like microsoft and investors like peter thiel in their core.

Consensys is a core org

@vegafjord @aral ...and working actively towards a network state.

it creates scammers on all fronts.

you spit on bitcoin, but distribution is much better. energy prices empower mainly leveraging more solar ...and payments are cheaper and scale better with lightning.

also - it does not include a money printer for the rich.

@vegafjord @aral

oh btw.
you were really spitting on ethereum during your live presentation during wizardamigos in the past. i think you had strong points back then. what made you change your mind?

how much money did they offer?

@narF
1. cqpitalism = markets with moneyprinters

=> stop all money printers

2. end capitalism means means of production owned by people, by all, by workers...

=> end all employment. employment means you dont own means of production.

So whatever ends capitalism needs:
1. no emplomeny
2. no money printers

that constrains the search for options.
it means also we have to get a lot more collaborative, pay each other, higher each other, have networks of self employed. pool resources, etc...

Today I stumbled upon a very intersting (but also lengthy) blog post discussing currencies (crypto and fiat).

Thought provoking.
I definitely recommend reading it.
If anyone has any opinions on what is being said I'd be interested to hear them.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of the article, but points out a lot of interesting things which might be very relevant now that trump was elected.

@powersource

I agree that this is a rather funny comparison.

The main idea for it - i assume - is that there is no central issuer, it is decentralized and limited in supply. That has never been achieved in history, even if you wanted, nobody could create such a mechanism.

I think it could end capitalism

@powersource

hm.
you said number zero, fire, etc... meaning some sort of "fundamental thingy".

All rulwrs and opressors throughout history has money printers and called it capitalism or whatever.

i love p2p and permissionless world, open source and no access restrictions.

i dont think it doesnt just end with permissionless sharing data, but pwrmissionlessly live in all its aspect.

no gatekeepers. no intermediaries.
anarchism and community.

no billionaires ruling over us

@powersource

bitcoins main proposition is to make currency open source with fixed supply of at most 21 million.

making everyone equal. no more money print8ng for VCs and the billionaires

@zens

that is why the only answer is peer to peer.

https://docs.pears.com

if you know nodejs, all it takes is

`npx pear run pear://runtime` to get started.

no servers. no cloud.
this is the only way out of the mess

@nblr @mhoye @mntmn
and also, we will all suffer the consequences for decades to come. yay 🫠

@nblr @mhoye @mntmn

great, but that can always be said about every working system i guess.

i would argue trchnical debt is killing us on all fronts. ...it's how oil and coal were holdomg things together for so long and even old timers still work ... yay

@aral

yes, @dat_ecosystem 🙂

https://docs.pears.com

or just run

`npx pear run pear://runtime` to learn more

it's on npm

@aral how about you give the pear runtime a try and maybe some peer to peer integration? 🙂

@jwildeboer
But even if you had a strong standard.
Isnt the point that https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main still collaborates with W3C?

Hope it stays independent enough and will be able to protect against these kinds of attacks 🙂

@jwildeboer

yes and it will happen.
the big tech standard bodies are theirs anyway and it is what fediverse embraces.

if an instqnce doesnt, it left the generally accepted consensus mechanism i suppose.

whata your take on defending against this?

@aral @laura @marcthiele

would love to see ppenty of events in the future who focus specifically on small tech

@aral @zmicier

constructor ({x = 1, y = 2} = {})

solves it

@bhaugen @liaizon @cryptix

just use a seed phrase like in true peer to peer systems.

keet uses 24 words and is a p2p messenger app. wallets use the same approach.

any p2p social network could do it as well and they exist for a long time, longer than mastodon and the fediverse.

mastodon was initially released 2016

By that time ssb and dat and others existed already and so did wallets

@aral i love the module.
one question i have is, why is it needed.

isnt localhost supposed to be a secure origin and also, dont all features work as they are on localhost already?
