  • would it be better to have two trump terms, back to back, or to make a biden sandwich and have a break between the terms?

    i worry that if trump comes back from the dead he might do crazier shit than if he was just re-elected and kept eating mcdonalds at the white house.

    no way to know for sure, unless whoever built the universe made two copies just to test this out















  • that’s… not how that works. all you can do with 51% is possibly double-spend whatever coins you already have. or undo some transactions.

    so you submit a transaction, then use your extra 1% of hash power to mine a new block that says you didn’t actually spend it. at the same time you need to trick somebody else into believing you actually did send the coins, and take their stuff you “paid for.” then after you have the stuff, you can submit the block that doesn’t have your transaction in it. Voila, free stuff and you didn’t spend your coins.

    it does not enable you to mess with other’s balances. other than possibly reversing some transactions. you would need the private keys to their wallets to take their money. and if you have those, you don’t need 51% of the hash power, you can just take the coins with 0% hash power.


  • I’m not sure if people here realize this, but the interest from $10m is approximately four to eight hundred thousand dollars per year.

    So, with ten million, one could instantly retire and never ever have to work again.

    That’s priceless freedom to me, and it wouldn’t require deleting almost all of my friends, relationships, experiences, and who I am.
