RE: The Ego and Incentive Engineering of a Cryptocurrency
the problem with too many of these coins is that they have “blindly copied” Satoshi’s implementation as if it is perfect.
Exactly, it’s a basic “DNA” string, Like living tissue. Take humans for example, in our DNA we use, what 4 out a possible 20 different algorithms that we are pre-programmed with, I think it’s 20 different amino acids or whatever it is? Biology isn’t my forte, but I digress.
It needs to evolve, just like an amoeba to a human, the amoeba can be improved, nature’s proved that already (although in some cases I remain sceptical!), there is nothing we can do that doesn’t already exist, it’s nothing more than a tool, we can refine it, we can reshape it, we can do whatever we want to it so long as the basic principle remains the same.
Yes Chris, “ego” is very important, if you’re out to make money.
Some of us are not in it to become “rich” though, we are in this world, because we want to change reality, for the better (idealist BS I know but meh) I am one of them.
It’s a indisputable fact that the guys who made the most in the gold rush, made the most money. Why does that principle apply to crypto, Chris, I know you’re not a great fan of the monetary system, am I correct?
So, stop looking at it as money, look around you, see what jobs could be made easier by making the blockchains think, do some actual work, after all, isn’t it merely the shovel to move things around? We are already selling the picks, all of us when we start mining.
The potential I saw in the “worlds biggest social experiment” isn’t about ego, it isn’t about getting rich, you can’t value crypto against dying economies, the value of their currencies are flawed. Sure, we have means to transfer “money” but why is no one creating ideas that hash out major algorithms for companies yet? why not rent a blockchain to solve complex mathematical equations?
It’s open source, it’s malleable, changeable, thanks to society, our thinking is much slower to catch up!
Theorizing and discussion is all well and good, but for now, Feathercoin is but a mere currency, priorty jobs, require priority time

RE: [Dev] OpenFeathercoinATM
I love the ATM, I’m jealous tbh :D
But is there any way you can add a credit card reader and net access?
You know, so when you combine one of those in a town centre with https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7206-dev-introducing-featherpay-point-of-sales-device/ (sorry, forgot the html command to shorten it :P )
Would there be any reason for a business not to seriously consider taking FTC as a method of payment?
Thoughts?

RE: NASA claims a collapse of industrial civilisation is likely.
I don’t think much of it. These are the kinds of papers that use computational models to state the obvious, just to support what common sense gives to every sane thinker. But it is good that NASA subscribed to the alarm bell that was earlier already sounded by Oxford FHI.

The is only one sane reply…
