fair enough

My advice to people curious about cryptocurrencies would be to read, read read read... When you feel like you've read enough and you see future value in these distributed ledger networks known as blockchains, then find yourself cash you're willing to throw away, and find a price entry point. No one knows where these values are going to go, NO ONE. All predictions fail, no economists can predict these things. Think of it as throwing throw-away cash at an uncertain but potentially much more free future.

blockchain seems like a neat idea even outside of crypto

It's not separable though. You have to have a reward for the people doing the auditing.

Whatever blockchain network someone sets up, there must be a reward for the "miners" the people doing the auditing of the network, and that must be a token/currency.

Oh I'm not saying entirely divorced from it, I just mean that people are attempting to use it as a medium for other systems

pure P2P messaging and such

@Jeremy-Retard I've thought about it but I'm not to sure about getting into it

Well, discord is p2p/torrent messaging is it not?

servers are not "servers" any more, they're distributed records, aren't they?

I've never got into crypto, but the service writer told me to my face that Bitcoin should be outlawed because the government can't control it

Like they do with the dollar

I informed him that the federal reserve is a private bank and he had it backwards

Service writer?

The government should have no power over the dollar especially with an organization such as the FED that has zero oversight

I was under the impression that Discord runs on remote cloud servers

with admins having access to logs but promising not to use them, pinkie swear, and all that

But anyone can start a server with a client command. This tells me that discord doesn't have centralized servers, that instead any peer invited to a "server" is merely another auditor on the network that maintains the chat record and distribution.

Ah, that makes more sense Edgar

Hey, can I pose a question to everyone??

Go for it

I'm in

I'd like to see what your thoughts are on arming teachers. I got into a hot debate over it last night and I want some further input

if they go through the training and consent to it yes

I'm all for it however I'm with Robert on this I would like to see extensive training and prep for the teachers and it would in my mind be a volunteer thing

However I don't want to see in the case of a school shooter a bunch of teacher running around the halls hunting the shooter

But all in all I'm not opposed to it

I don't think I've ever seen anyone that believes in arming teachers suggest that they should go hunting the shooter.

The idea for me is that the teachers suddenly become able to defend their class in some way other than standing in front and taking the bullets.

The idea for me is that I want a shooter to be forced to wonder who's going to shoot back. Someone in a different server pointed out that a school resource officer is a giant billboard that says "shoot this guy first and you're home free". Which i hadn't even thought about

That is a really good point. I hadn't thought of it either.

It makes schools less of a soft target.

CCW

?

Concealed carried weapon

Yes

I just didn't know if you called it something different

Damn. I'm just catching upnin the chat and so far Inser that it wnt from opinions about currencies, to crypto, and to something about p2p/torrent messaging. Then goes into so.ething about discord running on remot servers. And then we are to arming teachers lol

Okay, so to get my opinion in. I want to make it a personal opinion rather than a general one (sorry not sorry about this). I would love for my kids to grow up in an all white community and I would homeschool, but if they went to public school, mynchildren would only gonto school where their teachers carried.
