I mean, it’s got to do with the military industrial complex, so I can’t really say he’s wrong.

I think the reason for this implementation is more the theft prevention. This sounds very mich like certificates to me

I’m with you on that.

For the individual saving is something very good. For the economy, however, a money hoarder is dead weight. It’s why inflation won’t ever completely go away, because it discourages hoarding (investing/bringing it to the bank can counteract this, that’s why I didn’t call it saving the second and third time)

It really depends who the issuer of the certificates (wallets) is. The funds get automatically transferred and won’t be lost, it’s “just” a privacy problem (plus the issuer will probably be able to interfere).

So the idea isn’t that dystopian, but it very much depends on the implementation.

I think the idea was that you can’t hoard anything, and stealing or reusing is harder. But it does make the central management way more powerful than it should be. But it’s normal bank standard.

What do you mean with “dystopian statist money”?

Demons run when a good man goes to war
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a good man goes to war
Friendship dies and true love lies
Night will fall and the dark will rise
When a good man goes to war
Demon’s Run, but count the cost
The battle’s won but the child is lost

Nothing good happens when a good man goes to war

But I also like the saying “If you want peace prepare for war”. War is not the right choice, but it’s seldom yours.

Yeah, I think so too. It should replace bank transactions completely.

GNU Taler to the rescue!

The netherlands are already looking into it: https://www.ngi.eu/ngi-projects/ngi-taler/

The project could be used via paper trail, as far as I understand it.

*all of these

Stop that shit!

(Funny video, but I couldn’t not comment this)

By being shit
Then doing shit
Then becoming the shit.

Yeah

Better than most, privacy wise. Better than me, especially the pine phone (again, privacy wise). But still not solely your phone. The pine phone might be. You are on the right way though!

For anyone wondering what the crazy person on the internet (me) is hinting at, even with the pine phone.

Off topic, but it’s very funny to me that you think you have full access to your phone.

Okay, yeah, I’m wrong here. I thought the statement that the name calling lasted for a year meant that the ignored assignment was left unpunished. Don’t really know why I thought that, now that I read it again.

Palestinian journalist failed to find a peaceful solution in rubber bullet disagreement.

Let the weakness be washed away

Nonono, be more specific. If the cops do it, then yes. If other grand/mass surveillance things do this, then yes.

But this could just as easily be taken as “You had your phone with you and didn’t record during the time of the crime? Sucks to be you!”

This is the result of having too many “nothing to hide” idiots.

They are all meaning to say “not my problem”, but all they’re doing is create problems for themselves and their kids. They only notice, as always with privacy, when it’s entirely too late.
