You just don’t realize Gizmodo is a minority with such a negative opinion on crypto, so it’s hard to see from your little exposure and only the point of view from inside your bubble. John Oliver did a bit on it and he’s actually really objective on the subject tells the good with the bad. Gizmodo only reports the…

Sorry, I’m going to need more proof of how smart your are, what’s your full name and social?

Look if you’re legit interested in the topic there are places to discuss it, it’s usually not going to be a website that only posts negative news on that subject. Well thought out comments aren’t going to be upvoted here, only the popular-conformist-morons comments will be seen.

lol... will do, I like how you used “plexus” instead of “nerve” to prove how smart you are... good job. Tech and medicine aren’t the same. Just because it’s not interesting to your or you don’t understand it doesn’t mean much. Take care.

Sorry, not gonna yell into a empty room.

All blockchain based solutions that have a capacity to store user defined data fields and comments are affected and potentially susceptible. However, if the data is not encrypted (a comment field would not be), then it may be possible to overwrite the data with a blanking comment - effectively eliminating the illegal…

This isn’t a definite yes. “Storing” bitcoin doesn’t technically involve having the entire blockchain on your machine, or any device.

All miners, yes. A wallet just contains your coins, not the whole block chain, so no.

Such obvious false flagging by bankers to undermine crypto.

This sort of thing could happen with literally any blockchain technology that keeps a permanent record.

These people have always been there, they were just quiet until Trump came around.

“I wonder when it’s just better for people to abstain from alcohol entirely.”

I don’t think I’ve used a mail app since Outlook Express a decade ago.

Nah, that just means I also stop using the Mail app.

They should just pay more per watt period.

Shouldn’t the rates be progressive to avoid this issue. If you use X watts its at the lower rate but once you exceed some threshold it should be at the higher rate
