@feld love it, thanks! Just yesterday I was wondering whether I can rely on delta chat to receive alerts and send simple commands to my server.. #DeltaChatOps! :bash:

@rysiek Well Played 😛

@SallyStrange I won't say it's the obsession to eliminate humans, it's just the way technology works. No one lights up streetlights by hand, asks operators to place an international call or makes paperclips by hand. We're automating tasks away since it's more reliable, cheap and fast.
Personally, I would vote to automate banking and finance folks away over and over again. And politicians are next in line.

@healyn @SallyStrange Escrow without 3rd parties and free instant international transfers - out of the top of my head. Crypto is the first, but not the only or the best application of blockchain technology there is. My bets are in:
- supply chain management: track any product's entire journey and ensure authenticity
- digital identity management: share only what you want, like for age verification
- all kind of registries, (think land registry): permanent, tamper-proof records of ownership

@healyn @SallyStrange oh, and don't forget the voting systems - each vote would be immutably recorded, and voters could verify their vote was counted correctly without revealing their choice. Without intermediaries, in a public database, backed by solid math (it used to be respected.
But, as with every new technology, we need to allow it to prove itself useful. I'm just saying there's nothing inherently wrong with any of the innovations, it's the people who use and abuse it.
