  • That’s not a perfect use case for it. That’s a central authority (venue) selling tickets to anyone who wants to buy them. But instead of using a local database and approving transfers from person to person and losing the ability to reverse transactions due to fraud, it’s hosted in the wild west of crypto.

    There’s nothing stopping a venue from offering your perfect use case in a centralized system, but they outsource it to Ticketmaster (namely because Ticketmaster owns like 80% of music venues or something) so they don’t have to deal with it.

    Your scenario outsources it to the block chain, who will charge gas for the transactions instead of ticketmaster charging fees.


  • I don’t know the value in a decentralized IP rights system. If the key holder gets phished, you can lose your rights to a TV series you’ve been working on. (Like Seth Greene)

    He wouldn’t have lost it and had to pay back the ransom in a traditional contract. Having a contract centralized and enforced by the legal system has many perks and I can’t ever see how a decentralized rights platform can enforce itself.




  • Im planning on giving it a try. Thought I would try dual booting pop os.

    Windows wants me to update to 11, but my processor is too old. So if I’m going to update my processor, I’ll need to update the motherboard. But the OEM license is tied to the motherboard. So I’ll have to buy a new copy of windows just to get on 11.

    So just gonna see if all the things I like to play work on pop os.

    I think the biggest thing is that I use c# for hobby programming, and I know .net core should run on Linux, but not sure about the IDE.





  • Yeah, if we could not be 2016 election deniers, that be great.

    Electoral college won’t change until Dems flip states like Texas or something to where the presidential seat is guaranteed every year.

    If the DNC didn’t want Trump to win, they shouldn’t have put up Hillary. If the repubs didn’t want Biden to win, they shouldn’t have put up Trump.

    Sadly, I think the DNC made a mistake in not setting up a replacement for Biden and letting him try for two terms.

    If they weren’t ambiguous, then you wouldn’t see them getting popular. The difference of opinion drives engagement which means it’s more likely to show in your feed because that’s how most social media algorithms work.

    Things that everyone agrees on don’t get engagement, so they don’t bubble up to the top.
