@ifixcoinops Sort of in the middle would be "do things that potentially scale." Global warming is very very big. We are small. What one person does is irrelevant, unless it's a seed or prototype for what thousands and then maybe millions will do later. Or maybe you're doing your bit as part of the avalanche? Early adopters are important too.

So, foodie fads like artificial meat or Soylent seem promising, even though they're not really necessary? Or so it looks from California.

@ifixcoinops I don't suppose I could interest you in building musical instrument keyboards? I should write this up more, but here's a project I was working on: https://github.com/skybrian/accordionsynth

@setthemfree I will worry about this if there's no preference to turn it off by the time it launches for real.

@tindall@cybre.space This probably doesn’t require all that much data. Banks have been doing this long before they had any fancy machine learning, just using stuff they ask for on the application form and a bit of financial history. (Age, zip. Oh, you have an income? So far, you pay the bill each month? From credit reports, you are using credit responsibly?) They don’t need much to bet on the averages.

“Employed techie” alone would probably go a long way since it makes income prospects look good.

@ifixcoinops I don’t know but Google’s image search has an option to look for Creative Commons licensed images, so that’s what I’d try.

The environmental damage from a proof-of-work cryptocurrency is based on market price, so to fix it you need to crash the price. Buying is bad since it bids the price up. Selling is good. Holding is neutral in itself since it doesn’t participate in setting the price, but if we want to make it crash sooner rather than later, then we want holders to sell. A 10% wealth tax on holding would convince legitimate businesses that pay their taxes to sell, so it should help?

@nfd @tindall@cybre.space I guess you get to choose what you want to believe and the Boeing story is more fun :)

@nfd @tindall@cybre.space made me look. Wikipedia claims that “Boeing” is only one of the things they’ve claimed that the B stands for over the years? Which is the real B?

@tindall@cybre.space did you see the history on the Wikipedia page?

@ifixcoinops @crasher35 if you have some QWERTY keyboards and some DVORAK and she has reason to use both then it seems like she would learn both and it would seem totally normal, like doesn't every house have two kinds of computer keyboards?

@tindall@cybre.space Doesn’t this allow duplication by transferring the NFT more than once? The role of the cryptocurrency is to enforce artificial scarcity.
