If someone on HN told me it uses a lot of energy

Is there a legal reason why the loans are only offered to businesses now?

Here's a website that has been tracking both since the fork: https://fork.lol

BCH also has <1% of the hashrate if you want to classify failure in that way versus price collapse: https://fork.lol/pow/hashrate

Can you define "accept it as a private person"? If my KYC'd address gets leaked I would go to jail if anyone sent bitcoin to it?

Calculators

Very cool, seems like anyone could issue tokens in-line with a synthetic USD position at Kollider or OKX/bitcoin beach to "collateralize" the token?

I got blocked by him for having laser eyes in my twitter profile pic...

Evidently his star did not continue to rise

Money is already digital, and bitcoin is the only one that is provably difficult to create.

I don't think the asset ID is sequential ie same as squatting on bitcoin addresses

The name probably isn't claimed/unique so you need to check it's the correct asset ID.

Yeah agreed, I guess I don't understand what other rationale they would have to ostracize customers like that.

Seems like they can only charge what they do because of under-utilization, where cryptocurrency usage can max out a VPS 24/7?

Is there some explanation to why they would do this? Incompatible with their pricing model?

Is it possible for this to be done within posts at some point?

"forward sats to: betweentwoasics@geyser.fund"

Definitely adds complexity vs moving "sats" around between internal users, but could be an interesting way to link back here in the transaction note.

I got some back then and that's exactly what happened... traded shitcoins/satoshidice/etc.

Definitely have a different perspective now...

At least I still have this mug

Fair enough, IMO that's a bit sterile and transactional compared to SN where the incentives balance out to make it a bit more fun and community-fostering. I'll definitely be checking back for updates though, good luck!

I think there is a use case for that, but you're potentially sacrificing the casual use case, which might be necessary to build up a userbase.

People on stack overflow already spend a lot of effort answering questions for little tangible personal gain already, why? Seems like that open model with tipping for upvotes like SN would be great by itself/maybe all you need to do.

I think that helps but it still feels like too much friction for me personally, as a casual viewer.

Maybe it's only an issue because I don't feel like I need an answer for any of the questions on there enough?
