Crypto capitalism is super bad idea exactly because it’s uncontrollable, i.e. all the bad stuff of capitalist economy, uncaged.
It encourages money hoarding, which cripples the capitalist economy, it does not allow to control emission, which is actually bad because it’s essential to driving economy out of crises, it does not allow to block criminals’ access to money and transactions, it severely complicates taxation and other important economic actions.
Crypto capitalism has the potential to exacerbate inequality, and cause a giant slew of problems sending modern economy into chaos. But yes, your 500 ADA salary will be truly yours.
I’m pro-crypto, by the way. While posing new risks, crypto can be super helpful as means of unsanctioned money transfer, breaching artificial limitations, keeping governments in check by always being able to support protesters, etc. But making it the world go-to currency is a bad idea.
While Lightning doesn’t need you to open a channel for every new recipient and has smart routing through other participants, I still think it’s an inconvenient solution we don’t have to take.
We have Solana, a 300.000+ TPS Layer-1. We have much smarter Ethereum Layer-2’s that don’t require this bullshit. We have many ways to tackle this problem, it’s the hyperfocus on Bitcoin that, in my opinion, makes people go for Lightning network anyway.
Transactions per second
Mining is barely transactional in nature. Pretty much all of it is calculating hashes, which, on one hand, is super important as part of Proof-of-Work consensus, the most decentralized one we have, but on the other we have other reasonably secure options that waste two orders of magnitude less power.
Cool promising future that failed to currently deliver for most
Some could not be happier, though.
Honestly, Manjaro community differs from place to place as well.
Russian Manjaro community didn’t go much far from Arch one. English, though, is very decent.
The contrast is very strong with the Arch Wiki, which does a genuinely good job - for a set of short articles - at explaining how that whole machinery works. Yet, if you don’t understand something from there - good luck finding a person to explain what to do.
Written in a typical rude condescending hacker speak.
Let’s call it for what it is - it’s more of a frustration vent than a guide. And this approach will certainly not make these people read through.
There are always way more polite ways to put it, like:
“Most of the questions you face about software are replied to by unpaid volunteers taking spare time to help you - thereby, the more effort you’ll put into properly filing the issue, the quicker you’ll get a response. Here are main points that we may need in order to help with your problem, and a way to obtain all information required”
Great! Sail bravely, for we’re heading into the exciting waters of the future!
Rarr!
You also absolutely can put chihuahua meat in a microwave! That’s already just meat, you can’t be convicted on animal cruelty (probably)
I also assume that if we get some exotic state of matter through this process and learn to extract energy at least 100x more effectively, this could become practucal for some applications
Is it practical beyond confirming Einstein’s equation works both ways, with all of the theoretical implications?
Considering you need a ton of energy to produce even a milligram of matter (8,99*10^10 J, or 24,7 MWh, assuming 100% conversion).
There is a demand, and there is a supply. Decentralization trends lead more and more people to self-host, and you can’t get around it any other way.
But also self-hosted (the central server, i.e. “lighthouse”) and open-source
Well, it’s obviously dictated by hardware and the software that manufacturers release for it. I’m not calling enthusiasts to reverse engineer every single driver, that’s impossible.
The point is, there is a lot of proprietary blobs in everyone’s systems, and it’s not cool. If you ask me, we should obviously shift policies to force manufacturers to open source drivers and management systems.
Answered to another comment. In short: it’s very hard to make your PC run fully libre software, and no consumer-grade solution can do that.
Now you’re completely entitled to join the Minecraft piracy world
