iiuc he contracted a reputable company to build it for him

yes, but you don’t set it from your phone.

no, you can’t

so you can set alarms on you phone. And have the vibrator vibrate on time. duh!

cue the "one of our devs slipped and fell on a keyboard, completely coincidentally hitting all the right keys in the right order to code this. Completely coincidentally! "

i don’t have to choose to sacrifice my life to survive!

the consensus algorithm is the only thing that contributes to the network’s security. That, and because it’s trying to solve an impossible problem, it also needs the psychological element exploiting humans’ greed (and therefore want to hoard currency).

they are objectively, mathematically weaker.

Joining ethereum now implies trusting a complete stranger to get you up to speed. It is objectively subjective.

because problems in the bank’s software are the bank’s responsibility. If they lose my money, it’s their responsibility to get it back. Cryptocurrencies are the exact opposite, by design. If you’re fucked, you’ee fucked. unless of course half the participants decide to fork, half don’t and you end up with two “currencies” out of thin air.

and the “solutions” are all objectively worse security wise. And by thinking blockchains need proof of anything, you too misunderstand what a blockchain even is. Proof of whatever is needed by the concensus algorithm, not the blockchain.

Simple, it’s not. If it were, they’d have been using them for decades (blockchains were invented in the 70s).

The consensus algorithm, which is not the blockchain itself, was invented later. But banks don’t need to reach concensus with themselves. They all maintain their own data, and heavily guard it. So the only bad actor they could have is themselves. And they banks all keep watch each other.

so I put my trust in software instead. And by extension its developers. You’re saying of all people, we should trust some programmers above all else. You know, the “move fast and break things” guys.

As a programmer myself, this thought is both terrifying and hilarious.

blockchains do not do jack shit with reconciliating records.

it’s comments like these that get people killed.

the sound one makes while using them

so they build the thing that pretty much everyone is running at a loss…
