And of course, the dollar, and Wall St. use no electricity whatsoever!

Also, your comment demonstrates your lack of knowledge on even the basics on this topic.

Of course! You have access to actual evidence and not articles directly or indirectly funded by those who would be harmed by moving away from the current system. And of course you’ve considered it without bias or influence from that group. You are not being propagandized to, no way.

IMO, blockchain technology is good for one use case: illegal transactions.

YES!!!

The only thing you’re not getting quite right is what it means to be “illegal” and whether the groups making this decision have anyone’s interest in mind except their own.

When doing right is or becomes illegal because our country is run by a fascist, that “illegal” money will save lives.

Imagine if you will… the dollar (cash) was invented today, up until now all there was was long-established crypto currency.

Suddenly there’s all sorts of scams where crooks trick people out of their dollars. Others are getting straight robbed and have no recourse to get their cash back. Cops often don’t believe you as you have little evidence of the $1000 you just had. Yet others are getting scammed by “banks” that disappear soon after accepting deposits as there is no state regulation.

What you’re seeing is not a problem inherent in crypto-currency or blockchains, it’s a new tool. Many new tools are used most effectively by “the bad guys” first. Even look at Mp3s, the first 5 years of their existence their purpose was basically to rob record companies. Are mp3s a scam?

Don’t let banks and authorities convince you that one of the most effective weapons against them is a scam against you. You don’t think the banks are telling you the truth… this time… right?

An NFT is a deed. Do you see any uses for a deed that is not in control of a central authority?

but a bank’s opinion, that’s fact

it’s almost certainly not

Consensus algorithms lie at the foundation for a great many of the backend systems our internet depends on, massive scaling would be a near impossibility without them. – me, a 25 year backed engineer

It makes absolute sense that a massively scalable trustless system involving money would use a consensus algorithm with a large number of nodes.

Ya, I brandished my weapon and 100 million people said “whoa there partner!”.

This reduces the threat of failure capitalists depend on for effective exploitation.

Ideally, but shits crazy. I’m a transgender woman and like a third of this country proudly wants me dead and some of them are willing to make it happen.

Idk I need to get insurance for my car because it might hurt someone. I think this makes sense and is a good step. You have a right to own guns but no one said it would be cheap.

This brings up a whole other tangent that I’ll ignore for now (the necessity of needing a car and it not being a right, and having to pay for it) – but a dangerous item/toy etc and a gun, i.e. a fundamantal means of self defense, should be treated differently by law in a country that claims to be free.

Disarm the poors! Only our oppressors should have the option of lethal self-defense!

pro forced birth even

Just throwing some thoughts out there

• fdisk shows /dev/sdc1 and mount doesn’t see it – did you perhaps unplug it and replug it causing potential renumeration?

• Use the dmesg command to watch Linux detect the device

• Use cat /proc/partitions to see the kernels view of storage devices

• Check out the /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-uuid, /dev/disk/by-partlabel etc and see how the point to each other

e.g.

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 25 19:46 /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root -> ../../sda2

You’re making Rudy look bad, he was sober for years! (prior to 1953 I hear).

Breaf – it’s what’s for dinner

Aww man! I have a big picture of Penzias and Wilson and their antenna in my living room. I always loved their story.
