Is the blockchain an interesting innovation, aside from cryptocurrencies ?
  • A good start, but using crypto to just have a website seems overkill.

    I have built a shared hosting protocol (and implementation) where you use link-files instead of website+DNS (nor crypto). Simple and lightweight, but with my communication skills it isn't really taking off 😅

  • NFTs are scams
  • But why?

    And who's in charge of errors in this immutable ledger?

    I only feel it being shoehorned into some possible usefulness, conveniently forgetting everything that won't work.

    What is it trying to solve?

    Also linking physical objects, that's even worse, use it a bit and it's digitalisation will change lol. Also you want to sell your auto radio, but it's linked to your Car-NFT, it's Kafkaïenne lol!

  • Which Lemmy app would be best for former RIF user? And if there's no similar ones is anyone willing to implement similar features?
  • Tried a few, Jerboa is sort of good but there are things you just have to figure out. Like I'm a user on my own Lemmy, and I can't find my own instances? Does the search only search ... well what actually? Also as I have my super user, another user, a user on beehaw etc (not very rational maybe) but you don't know whith witch obe you are browsing.

    Guess it's just too, early so for now I'm sticking with Jerboa as it's the official app.

    Everything is great though, I'm just pointing out small inconveniences.

  • As fast as money talks, you'll be losing.

    IMO. We should make global random networks and base our connections on top of them instead of clinging onto the hope of niceties because someone have the site google.com for example.

  • Yo!

    You seems to know what you're talking about, have you heard of Juliana trees? Like trees based only on the keys, so searching for a key takes len(key) time.

    Bet there is an other name for it but I so remember like that and no web search says anything about it so I'm trying my luck here :-)

    Same for robin hood hash trees :-D

    Cheers

  • You forget that the blockchain is all about not trusting some middle-man/site, so you need to stock that blockchain yourself, everyone needs to stock that blockchain.

    So multiply not only the cost, but also the ecological impact just buying all those drives.

    And that's only for *US" housing (I didn't get the timeframe you used to calculate it, is it for like year 2050? Old data stays forever.).

    BTW found the guy buying 0.5TB Hard drives ;-)

  • NFTs are scams
  • That would only be like, who tagged this digital copy first.

    What would that use be in the real world? I mean it's not because you tagged my super invention paper before me that it has any legal ground.

    It's like using a cannon to kill a fly too IMO, just secure a server if you need to know when things happened for example.

    I'm interested in what scenario you think it could be useful (except fraud ofc).
