Lots of new Peeples up in here today. Welcome! Remember, the awesome thing about immutable first impressions is that you get to make as many as you want!... err, wait.. What happens on Peepeth, stays on Peepeth; literally, forever. ;) Take your time and think before you post.

I have no meaningful stuff to say that is really worth 2 cents...
Few do, let alone a dollar. This is why so few tips fly around on Peepeth.

This is my first Peep. It pretty much feels like writing my name on block #0. #hellofromitaly

I wrote this a bit ago but I feel like it still has some relevance to people new to the different types of cryptocurrency wallets. https://howtomine.co/2017/12/14/wallet-desktop-vs-hardware-vs-online-vs-paper-vs-exchange

I believe that it is a fallacy that the user will ever be able to be the only one in control of their own data. If you hand your unencrypted data to a third party, they now have it forever. It doesn't matter if it's blockchain based or not.
Some use cases will probably emerge that allow for that level of privacy, but for the most part, common use cases will never reach it.

I also need to do more research on Blockstack, but if the dapps control the data - rather than the users themselves - then it's not enough of a shift away from the current system for me.

Hello blockchain world!!

@bevan #bug? Something odd is going on here with the timestamps and ordering in the feed.

I had this great meme planned about the crash of cryptocurrencies but now they're rising again. smh
Your opportunity will come around again eventually.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the past few days. I started sort of collecting and organizing my thoughts here. Still unfinished. Comments welcome. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JUGZ-39pMJ9p_Udx9Myeua0GegsD9G7hihJ1UaVlPhQ/edit?usp=sharing
Should this be embedded like this? @bevan

Nice! Here's one from the Oakland hills, looking east at Mt Diablo.
Here is Grizzly Peak in the Berkeley Hills of California.

I ordered one dish too many. #vegan
That looks like good stuff. I'd say you ordered just right.

I'm a Libertarian and I support minimal government and taxation. I'm only saying that this story better describes the need for taxation specifically because of how rare men like Dashrath are. I'll explain...
This road through the mountain was needed. Dashrath's wife was not the only life lost. If the town had mounted a group effort, it could have been done much quicker. However, they did not act. This story is both that of strength and tragedy.
Replying to @Bryce (0xf54ea10ed1aa644a9ef2ce870e6122c35d19f4da)
This story isn't an everyday occurrence. But I do think that economic incentive is enough to get roads built. Whether business/communities decide that they need access to each other or a property developer realizes people like to live near roads. The market has done harder things

Replying to @Bryce (0xf54ea10ed1aa644a9ef2ce870e6122c35d19f4da)
But my high school economics teacher said that without taxes we would not have roads and that the fabric of society would tear like an angry kid with a napkin.
Based on this story, your teacher would have been right. This man's story is remarkable because of how rare his level of motivation is.
All day today in the crypto world...
"Dashrath Manjhi wanted his people to have access to doctors, jobs, education, and opportunities. Armed with only a hammer, chisel, and crowbar, he carved a road through the 300-foot mountain that isolated his village from the nearest town."
@bevan #suggestion When using MetaMask change text to 'Now click "Sign" in MetaMask'. The window that used to popup is now gone, and it's less intuitive for new users.

Roger has gotten much better at pushing his points. He completely destroyed Samson in that debate. I'll give him that.

Repeep if you think all humans deserve economic freedom. Keep scrolling if you hate babies.
I can't tell if this is meant as satire.

Same. This one guy told me he had thousands of Campbell's soup cans hidden in the desert. Turns out it was just a bunch of empty cans inside of slightly larger empty cans.
Why would he say that?
Replying to @shaddox (0xb912363361195f62c62787af076d6356170929a1)
This blockchain stuff is a total scam. Cryptocurrencies have no inherent value. A useful currency needs to have inherent value, like gold, fiat currency, or nonperishables like paintings of Campbell's soup cans.
Sounds like you've never tried to send a couple thousand dollars internationally. Cryptocurrency is a remarkably easier way to send money internationally. Even Bitcoin, with it's "outrageous" fees, is an order of magnitude less expensive than sending an international wire.

1. No more tipping until Peepeth.com is upfront and clear that it takes a 10% cut of the tip. It shouldn't be a hidden note. 2. Why are only integer tips allowed?
1. Yes
2. I think Bevan is going to allow smaller amounts eventually. I'd be making dozens of micro-tips if it was allowed.
Replying to @Alec (0x23677376bc1b7f48970b83a7ce0d0367395eac9e)
Pick one. Worse for BTC holders because nonody'll be buying/using BTC. Worse for the world because if LN is adopted worldwide, we're stuck using a centralized payment network. But at least we don't have to pay horrible BTC on-chain fees.
I think it's worse for BTC holders. This is a reduction of relational value compared to other currencies.
Does anyone know definitively if there is any way to run a Lightning Network node on top of the current stable release of Bitcoin Core?

Yes. I don't believe the randomness is great enough. Dfinity's Threshold Relay / Random Beacon consensus mechanism seems more in the direction / promising, but I've yet to do a full dive.
I'm not familiar with Dfinity. I'll have to read up on that one.

One concern of mine is that bitcoin's transaction fees may make it unsuitable for small transactions. Peep is many small transactions. Does ethereum (and peepeth) suffer the same problem? Or is it a problem at all? Am I being silly?
Ethereum is vulnerable to the same problems during high congestion periods. Their direction is to introduce sharding.

Bitcoin's high transaction fees are a problem, and will always be until they are successful with off-chain solutions. Bitcoin Cash raised their block size and has no such problem at the moment.

@kev is! He plays just about everything & builds guitars in his free time. Mandatory photo of his most recent purchase.
Why is he in the middle of the street wearing only socks?
Replying to @morgan (0x7c0a9f6769bff31ea7c308292f0415bc16327409)
Fruitful systems must incorporate both. Dynamic mechanism based systems that "flex" through randomness. Striking the right balance between exploration (i.e. things we don't know) and exploitation (i.e. things we do know from learning).
Familiar with the EOS delegate system? Nodes are selected randomly to participate in voting from a pool of nodes which have all passed through an application process.
Replying to @evanstucker (0xca5c66933149d95fba1050aaf7046b08a7f28ae5)
Yeah, that's why I suggested a lottery system. Disposable groups of strangers are probably less corruptible? But also probably more likely to troll or abstain from voting... We could add a reputation system to incentivize participation, but then Orwellian spiral...
I would have to argue that a lottery system is like our current jury selection system. Good in theory, but just embarrassing in practice.
Incentivized based systems have more potential, but are still vulnerable to the same corruption of power.
Replying to @evanstucker (0xca5c66933149d95fba1050aaf7046b08a7f28ae5)
But that still doesn't solve the GDPR issue. There has to be a way to permanently delete things for the purpose of privacy without succumbing to political censorship. Maybe a moderation group picked by lottery that validates that it's embarrasing, not political.
Groups that burden the task of filtration end up in a position of power where they are corruptible, or succumb to the desires of the people creating an echo chamber.

To answer my own question: "Your Peeps are currently saved to [...] and on Peepeth's servers, but are not indexed on the blockchain. Saving to the blockchain will make your Peeps available to anybody with access to the Ethereum network and IPFS." Peeps not on BlCh can be censored
I imagine that eventually there will be alternate interfaces which let you view the blockchain data uncensored. The reverse will also need to be implemented: The Peepeth servers will need to scrape the blockchain for new content added directly from other implementations.

Any other fans of the P90X series or 22MHC?
