That's something the free market actually can fix reasonably well.
But that's irrelevant if nobody can actually use it.

The big blockers were right that on-chain capacity matters, we've had basically 8 years of LARPing layer 2 nonsense. The problem is that the small blockers were absolutely correct that filling up the blockchain with small transactions is a waste of everyone's time/energy/storage/compute/etc.

It was never about spam, it's about the fact that a distributed ledger is the wrong tool for peer-to-peer digital cash, but to be fair to Satoshi, Bitcoin was actually about solving the problems with existing digital cash methods, and it's not reasonable to expect every potentiality to be foreseen. We ran it to it's useful limits, but now we have to search for answers elsewhere.

Spritely despite having no interest in making currencies, might actually yield more fruit in that direction. I was fascinated when @leo@social.synergetic-design.com introduced me to the G1, which might run better through on that system than over a blockchain.

Food for thought.

See! Nothing to worry about.

I'm trying to put together a resource that outlines the serious concerns related to mandated id-verification online.

The obvious ones that come to mind are:
1) The particular third-parties with access to information
2) General surveillance / profiling concerns
3) De-platforming (what happens if they turn off your online ID?)

Other than those main points, is there anything that strikes you as particularly concerning about state mandated online ID verification which is being proposed here in Canada

@lcamtuf@infosec.exchange
That I actually believe?

Encryption is broken by real-time mass surveillance. "They can get everything" is an understatement and they're private sector outfits working above the level of any nation.

The best criticism meets someone where they're at. Constructively explaining where someone is making a mistake without applying your own value judgements on them takes time and patience.

If you're hoping for change, taking time to understand and listen to others is a lot more important than learning talking points.

When people change their cartoon avatars my perception of their personality changes...
I try to remember the real them (the cutest avatar they've used to date).

Can you imagine a world without state-sponsored biowarfare on the public?

@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club
Sounds like everybody wins then.
No mandates because it's self-spreading.
No masks / lockdown insanity because spread is good now.
Zealots get to continue shaming people for arbitrary nonsense.
Elites can experiment on the population unimpeded by silly things like informed consent

What would be a better alternative?
