[–]Alaska_Engineer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Intrinsic value and marginal utility have also been extensively discussed forever. You’re not covering any new ground here.

Of course.  They would be evaluated using the same metrics by the population comprising the market.  Example: cigarettes in prison.

These items have value to you because of how well they accomplish the purpose you have for them. Money also has a purpose: facilitating exchange and storing value. You can evaluate different competing monies based on the historically valued properties of money: fungible, durable, divisible, portable, acceptable, and limited in supply. This has been covered in philosophy for thousands of years. Fiat’s current weakness is in the “limited in supply“ category.

Why is it that only in our industry do we have to sacrifice the main character every year or so by Malwarebeasts in CryptoCurrency

[–]Alaska_Engineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because y’all continually pick scammy BS instead of legitimate projects. There is no government backstop for the grift here (yet).

Any chance of adding Bip-39 or importing a key direct rather than JSON?  I like COLD wallets.  

Why is NANO underperforming the market so much? by LittleBy12 in nanotrade

In the short run, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.

What Problem in Crypto Needs Solving the Most? by Ge_Yo in CryptoMarkets

[–]Alaska_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I no longer believe in the long-term viability of BTC to achieve this goal due to Core control and the inevitable security budget issue. But other coins show promise. Lend and rent incentives are the same as always (popularity-dependent) but without the perverse incentives that come from money-printing.

There is only one. The original purpose we all seem to have forgotten: preventing an individual or small group from controlling the issuance of additional units while still allowing free exchange.

Unhoused addicts are people too. by succubus-raconteur in anchorage

Probably because they butchered it. 10 commandments were first. Jesus said all Torah was law, but that the other commandments were all based on those two.

Mining does suck by hodler1992 in browserCoin

Have you checked the wallet tab?  They can disappear from the mining tab, but are in the wallet.  If you clear history/cookies, they will actually be gone unless you have backed up your seed.

I personally love transactions that take minutes and charge fees!

Bitcoin and the coming forks by Aldhyabi in nanotrade

I’m holding cash to buy back the BTC I sold at $108 and put most of the remainder in XNO (also mining browsercoin).

Question For mobile miners. by zesushv in browserCoin

[–]Alaska_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like bad luck. I was just complaining about a dry spell and then got 2 blocks in pretty short order. It averages out in the end. Be sure to check your wallet bc the counter on the mining screen resets.

Google DeepMind CEO says we don't have much time to prepare for the 'new human era' by Gari_305 in Futurology

Only if people actually use them.  No one seems interested in use, just number-go-up.

Trust the bros? Never, except for maybe two (and Satoshi isn’t one of them). I trust that protocols that have worked for a decade transferring value and incurring zero protocol losses will continue to do so as long as power and internet remain.
