@alcinnz Seems like we should reverse engineer the Mill CPU architecture either without violating their patents or by somehow protecting it from patent litigation. :blobshrug:

@qwazix Right. I see a lot of projects trying to recreate internet money without first understanding what problems were solved when, why, how, and what solutions didn't work and why. It's really lazy to ignore history, and imo, bigoted to disregard technology simply because of some ilk surrounding it.Thanks for your input.

"AI," deep learning, machine learning, and other statistical data techniques can be used for good if we wrest control of it from the tyrants.

@rick_777 good question! seems that the #cyberpunk literature mostly focuses on commando-style warfare.

@bob 😄 it's needed for the air of legitimacy. At least it's not as creepy as the DEA seals.

@leip4Ier Of course they won't solve everything like blockchains purportedly will. That is just sensationalism design to make people lots of money.Smart contracts have some interesting applications nevertheless and are worth exploring, but without cutting corners on security. The DAO is worth another try, just not on Ethereum.I hoped they would have learned their lesson but when I asked the speaker at DWebSummit about formal verification, I was disappointed by his answer.

@leip4Ier The hype would have been impossible to prevent. It is an entirely new technology with very interesting applications, and we will just have to let people fail and waste people's money.

@espectalll Are they trying to get around the Free Software aspects of AGPLv3? Not sure I understand what's going on here.

@lattera I hope you won't let them get to you. They are behind the times. This topic was already covered in the last DEF CON Ethics Village, where the participants had already been using other terms for years. #infosec

@espectalll Hmm, yes.. They really know how to couch it.Seems like they are just butthurt for not knowing how to do business with the big dogs. They are a for-profit publicly-traded business, after all, but they are behaving like they don't get paid for their development of the software.The quote you posted just now spelled it out plainly.

I had forgotten that I had basically given up trying to convince people of things. Best thing I can do right now is study and write for myself. After all, people who don't want to be helped won't be helped. Sad truth...

@R10T @leip4Ier FWIW, you can get your paycheck auto-converted to bitcoin using BitWage, and then spend it just like fiat using a Shift debit card.

@TheGibson that's pretty awesome! I don't think anyone in my family ever did anything awesome, unless you count my grandfather who was in the Navy in WW2. I'll have to ask my dad who has all the geneology worked out.Here's hoping I do something awesome with my life.
