Even if you consider all of this to be a huge Netflix and Adafruit commercial, you have to admit that it's a pretty nerdy project (cue "White and Nerdy").
And also the current system works because of the people mining are keeping the blockchain alive.
So if it's semi-private, it probably means regular people won't be able to mine, which means that corrupted banks will try to take over this new blockchain and all of our fiat money will be at risk.
Time to close down your bank accounts or at least never keep any money in them.
The fact that he's endangering his own life for the sake of his experiments, fine. But unless he's all alone on the road, I agree with the parent poster.
I've been wondering about the practicality of laying a planet-circling coil, superconducting would be nice too, for the purposes of covering the whole planet with a sufficient field. Would be easier to try on the Moon first.
Or maybe even try something similar on a spherical orbital station that only looks like a moon.
You are all A.I. cows. OpenAI would be more efficient with HOSTS files. systemD will integrate OpenAI in the next update. 3D-printed OpenAI is better. How can we run OpenAI on Arduino and Raspberry Pi?

Your outrage is negated by the link to the Adafruit website.

What? Still no FreeDOS, Amiga, Nintendo DSi or ATmega328P support?
What do you mean? Like a Toyota Prius or Chevrolet Volt?
So they want to recreate the blockchain but drop everything that makes it a blockchain. Great idea.
That's not what I said at all. You cut off the quote right before I wrote "take over this new blockchain".
I was saying that one crooked bank or a joint group of banks could try and take over this new bank-only blockchain.

It's the same kind of innovation that allows Apple to make thinner desktop computers*.
* for unknown reasons.
It's not the U.S.A. that's sinking, it's the water levels that are rising.
All we need is a few good X-men.

Fixed that for you.

That's why we should only send fat people, their mass will compensate.
I think he downloaded LibreOrifice by mistake.
Do you really want to associate malware vendors with these scumbags?
But at which level does A.I. can potentially become a problem, for us or something else?
We're already living in a world where toaster-dumb A.I. is being added to all sorts of IoT widgets and it's already causing a lot of headaches.

Alright, carry on with the real discussion now.
In the very near future, at NASA...
Okay, now I'll just move this part over here and... GODAMN LAG!
No, after I broke a vase by accident all she did was offer me some cookies.
Not if you take the time to read my real name.
AFAIK, in Canada, banks require five numbers. It's 25% more secure!
The woosh you're hearing is Spaceballs-1 passing over your head at ludicrous speed.
