It's absolutely decentralized because consensus was achieved via hard fork. Changing the monetary policy is not a bad thing if everyone agrees that it's necessary to change, if people thought it would result in worse conditions they wouldn't follow the hard fork. The fact that Bitcoin does not...

What makes you think Bitcoin is any different? Every transaction is public, the government has already proven that blockchain analysis is totally viable and that they will steal your keys to take your Bitcoin away. Even the Monero ledger with its ring signatures are vulnerable to blockchain...

*Shrug* I clicked sign in and I got to sign in and see the WoW thread where Hamlet still posts in, I'm a simple man.

He still goes by Hamlet on AJ forums I JUST CHECKED so shove that up your ass!

Good thread on EIP-1559:

Yeah, seems like it came out of nowhere to me, but I haven't talked to him in years. Like with Jerle it was obvious he was always on the outer edge of the social circle and trying to figure out how to get in, but man wow, did not expect Hamlette to be sure.

Wow, didn't realize Hamlet did that, hung out with him a lot at Blizzcon, great guy and super smart.

EDIT: DOn't you guys like teh flower?

I did a 10x, pulled out initial + little profit. EDIT: Most of my stack still intact, USDC reflections are nice. Gonna get like 200 bucks today. EDIT2: Market cap is 4x higher than it actually is, so it's really around 1 million right now.

Case in point, it's now up almost 2x since my post. Pure luck, it's probably going down? Might still go up.

I will not touch anything on BSC. It's really got nothing I'm interested in, on a technical level it's centralized and vulnerable, its ecosystem is full of scams and rugs, and there's no novel development happening there. While scams on Ethereum exist, with a little bit of awareness they're...

Give em a few weeks, those are all legit projects, e.g. Floki I called the day it was created so it's still way up from that. F9 will go up again I'm sure, but I bought that on a whim right before bed and woke up to massive gains so it's hard not to share. Inubis just needs to figure out its...

This is what Bitcoin looks like to normal people, Flobee.

Obligatory daily meme moonshot: DEXTools.io 75% of the supply is burned, so that "Diluted Market Cap" is 4x bigger than it really is. Reflections are given out in USDC. Dev is super active in chat, they're getting the word out in what looks to be a market ripe for ETH/USDC reflections...

The vast majority of tokens also do not satisfy the Howey test, though there are a few (famously e.g. The DAO) that do. The meme coins are not securities, regulation isn't going to destroy the DeFi ecosystem, where Americans are in fact a minority participant. You are basically an easily...

You don't trust ETH's long term value because you're an idiot and using this as an excuse is a perfect example. Ethereum does not even come close to failing the Howey test, I don't know who told you that or why you believe it, but it's stupid.

London coming out tonight/tomorrow morning, other than that it's just criminally undervalued and eventually the market will realize this.

Wait, isn't Alexstrasza a Furor reference?

Not even close to true, but you don't have to spend very long looking through his front page updates on web.archive.org to know that if Furor had a rape gang it would be called Rapez0r Corp, and not the Cosby Crew.

Even Family Guy didn't make a Cosby rapist joke until after the Hannibal Buress set, that should tell you how underground it was if nothing else will.

I'll grant that certain localities were more aware of it than others, but there's no evidence Furor was even aware of Norristown, Pennsylvania, let alone a trial being held in it.

You linked an article describing exactly what I'm talking about: the public was not aware of Cosby as a rapist in 2010. Why do you think that would bolster your argument? Of course I'm saying that there's no chance Furor used Cosby as a subtle rape joke, it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

Wait, is the infrastructure bill a fucking meme now? A fundamental aspect to memes is that they are culture driven, not news driven. The Cosby meme prior to Hannibal Buress' set had nothing to do with rape.

And yet for some reason no one can link me to anything not pure news media briefly discussing it prior to the set, Secrets up there even thinks there's a trove of Cosby rapist YTMNDs just sitting around like yeah it was some big fuckin rapist in joke for decades or something.

I'm always pro-calling people delusional retards when they're being delusional retards, you should know this.

Go ahead and link one, the site still exists.

This is exactly why I call you people who think Furor was making rape joke with the Cosby picture easily confused idiots -- I've never not once even come close to making that argument. It's so far off base to what I've been saying consistently that I wonder how you manage to get your pants on...

It's literally the only explanation that makes sense so far, since we know that it was not a rape joke.

None of anything you wrote contradicts anything that I've been saying, and here (+ the WaPo article) you actually agree with me. It was not "common knowledge" that Bill Cosby drugged and raped women prior to 2015, and it's a huge stretch to assume that Furor went out of his way to find a subtle...

Which other discussion formats? Can you reference or link any? It just wasn't a thing in the public consciousness until very late in 2015, it's ludicrous to suggest otherwise.

Oh yeah, pointing out basic facts and reality surely means I'm white knighting a rapist, and it's not just the fact that anyone who thinks Furor made a rapist joke with a Cosby picture in 2013 is a delusional fuckwad with not even a basic grasp on events that happened prior to the last news cycle.

No, it was never a rape joke, either before or after 2015. You are only interpreting it as a rape joke because it is after 2015.

No, I mean surfaced. You can search the posts here for mentions of Cosby prior to 2015 for a good idea of what the public thought about him. Believe what you want, but everyone who knows Furor in just about any capacity can tell you that the Cosby picture is not and never was a rape joke.

No, he wasn't. And it's totally reasonable to assume that Furor did not know Cosby was a rapist in any sense of the word when making that association, especially because it looks like they stopped using it entirely after the Cosby allegations surfaced in the public consciousness.

You're seeing it incorrectly, then. It was never a rape joke, it's not like joking about bombing the WTC at all. The only justification you have for interpreting it as a rape joke is pure hindsight.

See Furor's brand of humor attached.

I mean, yes...it was not a rape related name until very late in 2015. There was no subtle undercurrent of toxic heteronormativity or what the fuck ever (no redline on heteronormativity what the fuck Google) driving the decision behind using the Cosby branding.

I don't believe I said that at all. In fact, I'm reasonably sure it's all true because he clearly was not focused on game design when coming up with total hackjob workarounds like badges and 10 man raids. The Cosby shit though is different, making rape jokes is just not his style from what I...

I disagree with this entirely, it just doesn't seem like the kind of joke he'd make. Dicks in exhaust pipes were his jam, not raping women.

Right? There's no way he meant Cosby in the rapey way, we all know this. Like didn't he make a news update once with a Cosby Jello ad and wasn't that a thing on the forums for a while?
