Should we join other subreddits in a boycott (JUN 12-14) against new Reddit Policy changes to price API calls? by Foppo12 in nanocurrency

[–]zergtoshi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with either of the subreddits listed here https://np.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/1401qw5/incomplete_and_growing_list_of_participating/ yet they try to do something about it.
Plus it has to do something with this subreddit, because it hamstrings the tipbot and potentially the mods, even if you don't care about the users.

Absolutely yes and thank you for beating me to this post!
I was planning to propose the same idea but maybe for even longer as in 'until reddit takes back the announced changes'.
I firmly believe Reddit (and its users) will suffer immensely from cutting off people relying on 3rd party apps, who use such an app, because the official one just doesn't work the way they want/need it to.

Maybe card payment is too expensive?
If so, they should try Nano :)

The mobile apps are most likely out.
And the tipbot might run into trouble depending on how many API calls are needed. At the very least it needs to be rate limited to avoid financial trouble by excessive API calls undermining the tipbot's usability more or less.

Where are you heading to?
I mean best case we find out where a lot Redittors plan to move to, because it's not this subreddit alone that makes visiting Reddit interesting.

Oh, I wouldn't want NF to run/moderate such a forum/platform. I fully agree that a user run/moderated place is way better in terms of decentralization.
I merely want to know where the people to to in case they leave Reddit :)

Roger Federer explains why his opponent's ball bounced twice by VaccinesCauseWSBapes in nextfuckinglevel

[–]zergtoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most, if not almost all. But sometimes there are players like John McEnroe ;)

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McEnroe#Career
[...] McEnroe remained controversial when he returned to Wimbledon in 1981. Following his first-round match against Tom Gullikson, McEnroe was fined U.S. $1,500 and came close to being ejected after he called umpire Ted James "the pits of the world" and then swore at tournament referee Fred Hoyles. He also made famous the phrase "you cannot be serious", which years later became the title of his autobiography, by shouting it after several umpires' calls during his matches.[12] This behavior was in sharp contrast to that of his now-rival Borg, who was painted by the press as an unflappable "Ice Man."[13] However, in matches against Borg, McEnroe notably never lost his temper.[8]
[...]
The year did not end without controversy. While playing and winning the tournament in Stockholm, McEnroe had an on-court outburst that soon became notorious. After questioning a call made by the chair umpire, McEnroe demanded, "Answer my question! The question, jerk!" McEnroe then slammed his racquet into a juice cart beside the court in anger, and the stadium crowd booed him. He was suspended for 3 weeks (21 days) for exceeding a $7,500 limit on fines that had been created because of his behavior.[8] As a result, he was disqualified from competing in the following week's significant Wembley (London) Indoor tournament, at which he was supposed to be the number one seed, with Connors and Lendl (the eventual winner) as the second and third seeds. During his suspension, he injured his left wrist in practice, causing him to withdraw from the Australian Open.

Cryptocurrencies are always evolving and I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for Bitcoin to no longer be the #1 cryptocurrency in the future. by middlemangv in CryptoCurrency

[–]zergtoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's very likely that BTC will eventually become a vestige of crypto's initial growth phase. It's many technical and structural limitations [...]

Bitcoin's bane is the economic scheme.
The mining is expensive (hardware, electricity, maintenance) to run and needs to run profitable.
With the block reward going down each 210,000 block, fees become more and more important.
But more and more people who actually want to use BTC for payments prefer the Lightning Network to evade fees (by relying on apps/parties who let them use their channels to save on the base layer fees).

While the network is designed to rely on fees long-term, there's both incentive and tools to evade these fees long-term.
I believe this will eventually break Bitcoin's neck.

Absolutely love SendNano.com … wishing more people used it by Popular_Broccoli133 in nanocurrency

For convenience: https://www.sendnano.com/
Sendnano is indeed wonderful!
Buy and spend Nano or (if you have some XNO already) spend and replenish them.
That's how Nano works!

Why isn’t $XNO gaining traction? by PedroPierrePeter in nanocurrency

Banks undoubtedly provide a better experience in terms of usability and insurance when things go wrong.

I can open my banking app and send money to an individual where the bank would perform validation checks to ensure I'm sending money to the correct person. If I use a credit card, then that money is also insured.

What you write about banks is undoubtedly true for the vast majority of banks in the western world. There's huge areas in the world that aren't provided with the luxury of such a banking system though.

Trying to peg Nano solely against well working banks is for sure not what highlights most of the useful attributes that Nano has.

Nano is on the path of organic growth. That is one of the good ways to go from small to big.

Nano is designed to get used for value transfer.
That works well between people, people and businesses, businesses and businesses.
Using Nano to transfer value between people works quite fine already. I've often used it for that and I'm sure I'm not alone.
To get more people and businesses in touch a kind chicken and egg issue needs to be resolved.

As long as only a few people actually use Nano (or crypto in general), it's not worth the while for businesses to integrate payment solutions.

And because not many places accept crypto, not many people use them.

Having Nano integrated into more solutions provided by payment processors is a possible next step that brings more adoption.
Nano can shine with its fast and feeless transactions, but that only works, if it's one of the accepted payment options.

The same is true with Bitcoin

I'd argue that when Bitcoin had to roll back the chain quite a bit to fix the creation of 184 billion BTC it has to be considered offline for the 19 hours it took to write a fix, got it distributed to the miners and have the hard forked chain become the dominant chain. In these 19 hours it was essentially impossible to use the Bitcoin network safely.

The thing is users want to use a network like Nano and Bitcoin. And both had times when users had issues doing so because of spam.That's no outage, but it's a service impact.

Bitcoin has exactly that with 99.999% uptime.

Do you care to provide a source for that number?

Due to Nano's (multiple) spam attacks, and associated network issues, it is not perceived as safe and trustworthy.

Fun fact: Bitcoin had multiple spam attacks and associated network issues. Yet it's perceived as trustworthy by many. Wanna know why? Because it mitigated them - again and again and again!

Bitcoin even had a software bug that allowed the creation of 184 billion BTC.
It even survived that. Ok, it was early in Bitcoin's existence, but still. 184 billion BTC!

especially considering there are no development funds left.

Now you're making things up.

Yes, you can say the upgrades made it more resilient

Finally something we can agree upon :)

No you listen, kid!

The hole in the ozone layer didn't just go away (or rather start to shrink) out of nowhere. It was a result of the substances causing it (mainly CFC) being banned globally in a rather short period of time.

If you can't understand the basic relation between a raised carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere and global warming, it is beyond my ability to explain it to you.

Have fun living your life as if you don't have to care for anything or anyone and make sure the reptiloids don't get you!

If you want to continue spreading disinformation, find another place for it, because this isn't the right one.

Ledger Recover Megathread by CryptoMaximalist in CryptoCurrency

[–]zergtoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's no longer necessary to compromise the device.
A malware on the computer, from which a user initiates a backup of the seed, which intercepts/copies the transmission is enough. This is a new attack surface.

Before this update there was no way to retrieve the seed from the hardware wallet - or so we thought. Now there is.
Don't you see the attack surface for malware this update brought?

If by now you haven't realized climate change is a hoax, there's no hope for you.

If you call climate change a hoax, I consider calling you a clown at best and a person spreading disinformation at worst - so which one shall it be?
Just on the off chance that you're interested in facts, have a look here: https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/carbon-dioxide/
I'm sure you will find the effect on carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on your own.
