I get that. I was just trying to have a positive outlook

Right, and my original question was what does the technology solve? And so far the answer appears to be nothing

In tatters?

Mate up until I saw the election results, I associated myself with moderate conservatives. After the election, I’m trying to reconcile with the fact that my county, my state, and my government elected Trump again.

Like, the part of me that wants to claim conservative fully supports your right to vote whoever you think is right.

But we voted him out in 2020?

Like how do you vote for someone who incited an insurrection?

How do you vote for someone who nominated a judge to the Supreme Court and then tried to waive the background check? Pick someone else on the shortlist or let the process prove him innocent.

How do you vote for someone who nominated a judge wjth so little federal court experience to the Supreme Court?

How do you vote for someone who nominated someone who nominated Aileen Cannon? She has made a mockery of the legal system.

How do you nominate someone with so many scandals you can’t even remember all of them? And is guilty of at least some of those through a court of law?

How do you vote for someone with which there is picture proof of him being friendly on multiple occasions with a pedophile/sex trafficker?

And yes, I’ve never been a CHRISTIAN conservative because I’m not Christian. But what the fuck are they trying to conserve? Off the top of my head, he is trying to topple the rule of law, precedence, trying to bypass the senate confirmation process, already ignored the norm by not welcoming Biden in 2020? He tried to dismantle the post office ffs.

His choices directly led to Dobbs. If you are against abortion, don’t get one. It was that fucking simple. Now, I have others beliefs hoisted upon me. What happened to separation of church and state? What happened to the American value of freedom of religion?

Did they not take the same civics class I took in high school? Do they not have brains? Like what the fuck is going on here that I don’t understand. 47 already showed us what kind of disaster he was as 45. Does nobody remember how he handled COVID?

Like how can I be an independent conservative when so many of my “fellow” conservatives voted for the antithesis of the status quo?

Yes, I get that we shouldn’t be afraid to challenge the status quo where needed but there is almost literally no benefit to anyone by his decisions. Shouldn’t the government make the country better and not worse? Like he is taking us into the past with no improvement

No, they are right. What they are saying is that even though pretty much all NFTs contain a link to a picture on the blockchain, theoretically you could write a really, really small image in the space where you would normally write the URL. From a quick google, that’s 100 bytes. For a black and white image, that’s 100 pixels. For color, that’s around 30 pixels

What if the 51% have already completed the consensus process?

Is the network not considered a third party

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Is the recipients wallet a web socket somewhere? How does the transaction end up in the actual blockchain such that others can confirm that this transaction was plausible?

It’s not a picture though. It’s a link to a picture on a server somewhere. If the host goes down, you own nothing.

Are you saying that they “solve” that by never giving up more than 49% stake?

That… seems like a bad solution

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

You don’t need blockchain for that either. #theranos

What does blockchain solve that existing contracts don’t do? Blockchain has takeover possibility

That’s proof of work. Proof of stake is you just need more than everyone else, right?
