Air-gapped

An air-gapped wallet is a form of offline storage of your Bitcoin, similar to a cold storage hardware wallet. However, some subtle differences elevate the safety of air storage.

The main thing is that it is disconnected from all external networks, including the Internet, Bluetooth and NFC. Transactions are created and partially signed within the software, which generates a QR code or adds it to a microSD card.

This gap means that it is never directly connected to another device or network. In fact, there are no ports to connect them to anything else.

Have you guys considered making "freebie" a temporary state?

You could make it so zaps first go towards the fee and once it's paid the freebie status goes away.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 12 Jul freebie

~~Yes, this was one of @k00b's ideas~~

Reading it again, I think you're talking about something else. @k00b mentioned that you could pay for a freebie later iirc, like an upgrade.

But you mean that zaps would pay for the upgrade, right?

Yeah, you could do both, though. It seems like one way of preventing freebie abusing deadbeats from overwhelming SN.

If I had a trillion bucks I would buy Warren buffets conglomerate and drain the treasury down to $1 billion

I would give all of my employees the best incentives in the world Provide housing Pay for education Pay for child care

I would make it my goal to make those companies the best places to work on earth

Empower the people and communities not shareholders

50 sats \ 2 replies \ @kepford 11 Jul

I hear you, but here's what comes to mind for me.

That sounds nice but why not just pay them more? Let them decided how to use the resources? Maybe some have family that could use the money spend providing them x for something different.

Companies have done these things before and some do some of them today.

Why not make the employees shareholders? Shareholders are just people that are willing to risk their excess capital to an entrepreneur with the hopes of making a return.

Employees are willing to part with their time and energy on the promise of being compensated according to their agreement with the company ownership.

Enterprise, risk takers, and investors build communities and empower people. These are all amoral things. When you have evil people in these positions, especially in near absolute power (government) this invites cheating and tipping the scales towards the elite.

Buffet is one of these evil elites supporting the evil fiat money system. Honestly, I would be terrified to have Buffet's money and power. I would be terrified to have so many people depending on my management of companies they rely on for their families.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @BlokchainB 11 Jul

True increased compensation will be part of me draining the treasury down to $1B.

My argument is based upon corporate culture completely undermining their labor and expecting the government/society to pick up their slack. That is why pensions went dead from the corporation because it hurt the bottom line.

Libertarians think the free market solves all but often forget the opportunity cost to competition plus as financial markets became more deregulated (stock buy backs) the free market always tries to drive the cost of labor to zero while the top sit on their spoils and act as if they earned it all and deserve it all.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @kepford 11 Jul

Not trying to pick a fight. Its just an interesting thought experiment.

Companies have done these things before and some do some of them today.

In frontier lands in the past and even to this day companies provide what you describe. Many complain that a single source controlling so much of what a person needs (income, housing, education, and child care) invites abuse. Maybe not by the person at the top alone.

Basically you have created a monopoly over these services and in some ways have created a private government. After all, many governments provide this same list for those at the bottom of the income scale. Its full of possible problems.

Member of the Public

Member of the public means you are part now of a community controlled by the state; accept this and you’re trapped.

It gives a new meaning to Public Transport, Public Healthcare and Public School.

Opening your business to the public is not the same as becoming public. There are three basic levels to commerce.

You Become Public: This means you have registered your business with the government and are now fully responsible and liable for all government legislation and regulations, including taxation. The state owns your business.
Open to the Public: You are a private business with no connection with any government agency, so you have not agreed to follow any legislation; furthermore you are not contracted to any of them, including taxation. You can run your business how you see fit, but you are liable to the rights of anyone entering into business with you.
Private: Your business is 100% private, and not open to the public. The people you do business with must enter into a contract with you.
