Blockchains for digital payments (https://nadz.xyz)
Published 1 year, 1 month ago 29The nature of money is, and has always been, a topic of contention. It has certainly evolved over time. If we are to assume that money is credit (central bank and commercial bank debt), then it would be fair to say that money is primarily tracked digitally today. Cash is merely an IOU document that can't be redeemed for anything except itself, it solely represents this debt relationship. The diffe...

Perché ho abbandonato i social network (https://picnicparty.org)
Published 9 months, 1 week ago 5L'idea di cancellare tutti i social media non è nuova per me, e ha trovato sfogo già nei miei anni di liceo. All'epoca ero il paladino perfetto del software libero e open source, della privacy come diritto umano e di Big Tech come il male assoluto. Il mio eroe di riferimento era Edward Snowden e a volte mi sentivo come Cassandra a fare annunci di sventura a cui la maggior parte delle persone non ...

Playing Symbaroum with Cairn, an Introduction (https://growrot.bearblog.dev)

Playing Symbaroum with Cairn, Corruption (https://growrot.bearblog.dev)
