Ok that sounds pretty good! What's the model number?

The ledger being public doesn't prevent illicit use, like darknet markets. They use mixers or onion routed payments.

In the context of this thread, the centralized exchange is Taler Operations AG.

Taler offers anonymity for consumers but not for merchants. Every transaction everywhere - including Taler - has a sender and receiver.

Sorry if this is rude, but you are spreading misinformation, not knowledge.

I'm not condemning Bitcoin. I prefer to make falsifiable claims over unfalsifiable claims. Which claim(s) are incorrect?

I absolutely tear through headphones. When they're wired, the wire breaks where it meets the earpiece. When they're wireless, the battery last like two hours. The USB port on my phone is long dead, and they don't sell phones with the old headphone jack that didn't break.

But I still refuse to be that guy playing music on the bus.

How'd you get rid of it for the game, while still having it now?

Bitcoin allows the seller to evade taxes, lacks a central exchange, and has no distinction between Merchants and Consumers.

Nah everyone should get infinity holidays. That just shouldn't make you rich.

If corporate social media can be used to fuck up the world so horribly, then imagine what we can build now that we have p2p social media. Everybody is mad and should be mad. But we're easy to manipulate. We need to adapt how humans obtain and process information, and numerous p2p apps have demonstrated limits to corporate power.

New ways to communicate and coordinate are a really big deal. We're a tremendously productive species whose time is mostly being wasted. With what might seem like minor tweaks to our society, we can build this picture.

For all we know it was a kid or someone off his meds.

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."
