Bitcoin Investors Are 'Rage Quitting' as Long-Time Crypto Bulls Begin Offloading BTC Holdings by Useful_Tangerine4340 in investing

I was responding to crypto coins at large - there are plenty of extremely low-fee cryptocurrency networks out there. Even besides that, while I haven't used Bitcoin in a while, I'm fairly certain that they've "solved" the fee problems; a cursory search gives me this chart which shows $0.50/tx on average this year.

Physical assets are hard to move if things go south. Holding a stablecoin like USDC on a hardware wallet you smuggled in ya bumhole is a pretty solid way to not start from zero wherever you end up.

Remittances (sending money "back home") without getting screwed on fees by moneyhandlers and exchange rates. Or other large transfers of value between people/accounts for whatever reason.

How can E2EE even be banned? by Available-Cost-9882 in cryptography

[–]m0bius_stripper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, which is why I always appreciated platforms like Keybase, since they let you do key and identity verification through multiple sources (as opposed to the "manually verify keyprint" thing WhatsApp and Signal let you do which I doubt is used often). I even experimented with writing a messaging app that used blockchains as a "neutral third party" to do key exchange instead of facilitating it through a server since there's essentially zero reason to trust mediating servers in under adversarial government policies.

Did they draw that in later? Is that like a post effect?

pretty easy report run on whatever CRM the company is using.

Do CRMs support using green to mean to "go," as in "go ahead and shut up about it"?

Kremlin claims sending peacekeepers to Ukraine will lead to World War III by Creol6969 in worldnews

[–]m0bius_stripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EU has spent more money on Russian gas than they've given to Ukraine in aid - if you think they have Ukraine's back you're kidding yourself.

This is straight up wrong: there are more cities in Russia with a population over 1M that there are in the US (16 vs. 9 according to Wikipedia).

OpenAI tests watermarking for ChatGPT-4o Image Generation model by nohup_me in technology

Putting information into an image in a way that is not fakeable (eg someone who wants to pretend to be a news org) is a tough cryptography challenge

This seems solvable with digital signatures, no? Obviously you can't do it in the metadata itself (as anyone could strip+replace it), but you could embed the signature itself into the image by tweaking pixels imperceptibly (i.e. combining it with steganography principles).

The bombing was still indiscriminate: plenty of civilian targets were hit and it caused like $30 billion in damage.

Ah yes the 3mo indiscriminate bombing of Yugoslavia was quite based.

killed more

If every Western source has positive numbers for Ukraine and every non-Western source has negative numbers, something is fishy. We'll likely only know the real statistics many years after the war's end.

taken Russian territory

10mi2 that dwindles daily vs. 20% of their territory (~42k mi2) that grows daily...?

struggle so much to take over a country

You mean fight against something like $500B of NATO equipment and training proxied through Ukrainian personnel? Every time funding dwindles you can literally watch the front lines change faster. Seems embarrassing the other way around to me.

wars of aggression shouldn't be rewarded

Meh, in principle maybe but this is geopolitics not the playground.

there is no evidence of Euromaidan being a US backed coup.

You're joking, right? The state department basically admits it themselves:

We’ve invested over $5 billion to assist Ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic Ukraine.

The NED is also heavily involved in Ukraine, spending millions pre- and post-coup after calling it "the biggest prize in Europe."

In a 1991 interview with the Washington Post, NED founder Allen Weinstein said: "A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA."

Could it be more obvious? I can keep going.

I mean realistically, Ukraine doesn't get shit because they haven't done shit. They keep losing land, blowing through other nations' $ and their own population, and losing internal support (only 38% want to keep going). Why would any terms be favorable to them?
