important question guys
That doesn't require any new invention. The concept of authentication is decades old.
yes
indeed
RFC 1991
lol - let tim and his teeth alone
he's british,
leave him be
we need a kickstarter campaign to fix his teeth
have at - kickstarter would love that
So again everyone else is trying to talk about creating a lefty-proof payments system while you're talking about digital authentication.
his teeth are a reflection of american politics
"crooked" 😉
told you it was a pipedream Devpav 😛
So verifiability is critical, but blockchain (or potentially DAG) solutions have no role to play? How can you verify a datapoint without a persistent publicly verifiable record (which appears to be your bugbear with blockchain - and to be clear, I understand why you feel that way, I just think the tech itself is inevitable)?
carrier pigeon!
yes @devpav I am building the foundation while everyone else chases the cryptocurrency dream
i actually have more faith in what you explained than the crypto dream Paradigm
Wol, I think your comic summed up the situation pretty well. Without financial freedom we might as well fight a revolution.
well its the end point,
government controls all the doors, the only ones you can walk through are the ones they let you use
there will be a thousand payment solutions that present themselves
So what's the difference? I mean, it's a publicly verifiable record, but that's the problem you appear to have with blockchain...
And they won't be barter.
Thousands canm
's survive.
There will be only a handful which thrive.
blockchain is an audit trail of financial (and other) transactions
public verification of identity is entirely different
blockchain is surveillance tech
Not only.
But it could be used for surveillance.
not only, but almost always
And it will.
it will
I agree.
it most assuredly will
there will be billions invested to make that happen
That's why it needs to be in the hands of the public.
As much as possible.
