@beardalaxy @graf I just got the database partially working. Actual file uploads aren't support yet and the logos are obviously placeholders. I'm going for a Wii Shop Channel inspired layout.
I'm actually feeling really guilty about this because this shows how much free time I actually have, but this is good resume experience and that's how I justify it.

the future of digital money

That's something the free market actually can fix reasonably well.
But that's irrelevant if nobody can actually use it.
The big blockers were right that on-chain capacity matters, we've had basically 8 years of LARPing layer 2 nonsense. The problem is that the small blockers were absolutely correct that filling up the blockchain with small transactions is a waste of everyone's time/energy/storage/compute/etc.
It was never about spam, it's about the fact that a distributed ledger is the wrong tool for peer-to-peer digital cash, but to be fair to Satoshi, Bitcoin was actually about solving the problems with existing digital cash methods, and it's not reasonable to expect every potentiality to be foreseen. We ran it to it's useful limits, but now we have to search for answers elsewhere.
Spritely despite having no interest in making currencies, might actually yield more fruit in that direction. I was fascinated when @leo@social.synergetic-design.com introduced me to the G1, which might run better through on that system than over a blockchain.
Food for thought.
someone's attempting a #pc98 port of quake for the 256 color 9821 machines

if i have enough money one day i hope i can just like, fund a mod/game website that is censorship resistant and the only way something gets taken down is via DMCA or if it's illegal (although in that case it would more likely just be denied verification or something).
it doesn't even seem like it's that hard to pull off something like that. just put up some content filters for people that don't want to see certain things. or, better yet, make the more spicy stuff opt-in specifically. that way everyone can still enjoy the site.
why the fuck hasn't someone like notch done this yet? the dude totally could and it's not like he could come under any more fire than he already has, as if it would even matter goddammit.
