    You know more about proof of stake than me? 🤣🤣🤣

    I’m a dApp developer who works on DApps that run on PoS chains and I’m also a stake pool operator. 🤣🤣🤣

    Did I ever assert that a decentralized solution was better for power consumption? Why would I say that? It’s not true. Decentralization adds overhead of course. I was asserting that Proof of Stake is VASTLY more energy efficient than Proof of Work.

    Your whole reply seems woefully uninformed about the mechanics (or even the existence) of digital identity and how even after a centralized entity exists doing on chain verifications, those verifications can live on as long as those wallets are functioning. It’s being talked about in regards to land deeds that can survive changes in power structures and authority. Identity and possession that can survive anything (as long as earth’s electronics aren’t wiped out by a EMP from the sun).

    I’m also very excited about the possibilities of homomorphic encryption when it comes to being able to operate on data that remains obfuscated. That has all kinds of applications for democracy but I digress. Subscribe to my community (https://infosec.pub/c/blockchainvoting) if you’re interested too.

    Agreed on all points. Thanks for speaking reasonably. I too think the technology is INCREDIBLY promising but also acknowledge that it is in its infancy…and will continue to be because of the hivemind.

    I think crypto technologies could work toward making a better democracy and other applications of a public ledger. I think it is currently the best solution to a decentralized, open source way to add incentive to the act of running public infrastucture. It’s actually my hope that perhaps it can be used to incentivize the act of running a lemmy/kbin instance (for instance).

    I absolutely despise the moonboi bullshit and am honestly only in it for the technology and its relevance to the realization of a truly borderless, open source, anarcho-syndicalist, cypherpunk way of life. I want to own my property and I want to help use technology to make corruption impossible…and NFT’s, as a technology, are currently a key part to one of the best solutions to many of these issues. They, like crypto, are misunderstood.

    To analogize my sentiment: it feels like the hivemind is espousing the benefits of for-profit healthcare that kills 70k people/year in the US while Single Payer stares them straight in the face around the world.
