It's been fun to see how my dad suddenly got sucked up into cryptocurrency. I've only seen him like this 25 years ago when stocks suddenly drew his attention in a mad way. He's got Ethereum now and knows more about blockchains etc than I do. He feels so fucking cutting edge lol.

i am actually intrigued by what the kodak coin might lead to for people who produce images for a living:
In an official announcement, Kodak said the cryptocurrency would underpin "an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership for photographers." Kodak is working with a company called WENN Digital on the initiative.The idea is that photographers could use Kodak's forthcoming blockchain to register works, with "KODAKCoin" functioning as a medium of exchange on the platform. Users can receive payment in the cryptocurrency as well as pay for rights, according to the company.

I feel like the definition of the word 'currency' is a little more specific than the fashion in which it's being bandied about these days.
In other news, I'd like to introduce you all to my new cryptocurrency, Salsacoin. It's a robust yet mild salsa and it's just to die for.

if i can get in on salsacoin when it's still valued at .0000000000000001 BTC, we can buy an ILX yacht with the profits when it's valued at .000001 BTC

would be nice if someone or something that wasn't a big dying company would take the lead on it, though.

someone at work was making a case for blockchain-style auditing on scientific experiment data storage the other day and yeah, that's actually a good use case
― mh, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 21:43 (six years ago) link
Blockchain as an distributed asset register and tracking tool is legitimately a good use of the tech and there’s probably far more value in that use case in the long run than as a ‘currency’. The major downside of blockchain is that time to transact is almost always going to be slower Han with a centralised data store but for the asset management use case this isn’t necessarily that much of a downside.

one of the funniest 2017 bitcoin news things to me was that ppl who had lost money held on mtgox ended up resuing them because they had their bankruptcy claims settled in yen and the btc that mtgox still held ended up being worth way more than the yen settlements made in 201X, meaning that mtgox ended up much better off than their former account holders
kinda got sucked into crypto cuz some of my coworkers are super into and have been trading a little, bought a cool cold wallet, which is a cool name
