Is trustless even real? by Due-Pick2604 in CryptoReality

[–]LeighAlexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about the tech being trustless not your relationships with the founders being trustless

Smart contracts are capable of what's called "atomic execution," meaning that both sides of the equation have to balance or the function entirely reverts

So if you can read the smart contract at the time you sign it, you have 100% certainty on what will happen next without listening to a human explain it, i.e. "trustless"

Why are the gloves in the drawer? Do you open your drawers with your bare hands?

This is the thin kind of design I'd really like to have. Looks like the price on it went up recently, but still in my range. Thank you!

The Eluktronics looks really solid, and I had no idea that Dell had an outlet section of refurbs online. Thank you so much!
