The thing is - how will your blockchain-based mortgage be enforced? What happens if I start squatting on your blockchain-property? At the end of the day, the answer is "people with guns" - we agree that contracts have legal weight, and there are legal structures (and ultimately law enforcement and their threat of force) that keep you on your land and me out of it. And if we already have to involve all that, what good is blockchain doing that "a database" can't do?

Yeah it's definitely an HN clone, and that's much-needed because the orange site is a hellhole. I like their invite-tree system, and need to finish tracking down an invite.

  • Software side projects, including a serious crack at a game I've been noodling with in my head

  • Hardware side projects, starting with smart home stuff

  • The physical house-construction part of smart home stuff, and some other diy projects too

  • Mini painting and board gaming, especially trying to pull together some overlapping friend groups

  • And yeah, some time no-lifing a game or two

Something I've always found funny is the fact that there's a big chunk of people who have only ever encountered a scramble-pad for typing their bank PIN in Runescape

I desperately want to be using more of the whitespace on either side of the comment column.
