Honestly, they are pretty well funded and don't need the money. I just redirected my money to SciHub and Lemmy now.

Again, price volatility had nothing to with Wikipedia stopping crypto donations.

You can hate all you want, crypto is the only way I have to pay for a lot of things and it has definitely helped me more than reactionary moralists from the West living large in their oppression funded country.

I didn't call them woke. Hell, people would probably call me woke if they asked about my political preferences. Being woke and being a reactionary pawn are two different things.

Except it was complaints from reactionaries which made them delete the option to donate through crypto after accepting it for years!

So, they were worried that an asset that has consistently gone up in the long term was too unstable to receive payments in? Your arguments make no sense.

I used to, but then they removed crypto because of propaganda efforts by reactionary idiots masquerading as progressives. Now, I have no way to donate to them.

Yeah killing millions of people was totally worth getting one man!

Now let's bomb Washington DC to rubble and kill your family so we can get to Bush, the even bigger war criminal.

What are bottle episodes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm from India and it's about ₹120 ~ $1.4.

I think there's a setting to bring back the buttons, if you want that.

Settings -> System -> Gestures -> System navigation

That's not what was said. You said even if the coins are transferred to another wallet, it could be tracked to a new reddit account. It can't.

Idc about the value of Ether itself. If it maintains a healthy valuation in real world terms, that's all that is needed to secure Ethereum. I don't need to trust validators to know they are doing their job, that's how the system is designed. Validators should make sure that state integrity is preserved and that's about it. If they don't, their stake gets reduced and can even go to zero. This is exactly what it means to be trustless. The valuation of Ether is only relevant to the point that it retains enough value that attacking the network becomes prohibitively expensive.

Market manipulation is a function of people and non-transparent dealings. If anything, fully onchain finance would allow information asymmetry to be reduced so that regular people can beware of such frauds.

Are there con artists? Of course. Why would that make me not try to build a better system than "regulated finance" which is the same, if not worse, deal but where I am not allowed to participate by regulators who act as gatekeepers.

Ether by itself is useless, its value is determined by how much demand blockspace on Ethereum has. This is a better system than my government imposing capital controls and taxing the shit out of me without even giving me a good bus to ride on to work.

Anyway, like it was said, if you don't get it, it's not really my job to convince you, but I hope you don't go around spreading misinformation like you are doing right now.

No, they can't. How would an EOA created in any standard wallet be linked to a Reddit vault?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Yes, but they can't be linked to a reddit account, which was your whole point.
