  • Because the creator is clueless. Telegram with someone who encrypts their /home??? Telegram is hiding the encrypted chat from the average user. That is literally all the reason I need to avoid it.

    And they place bitcoin of all things in the tor network and full disk encryption tier… bitcoin… where everything is traceable and which is more mainstream than /home encryption.


  • You are misunderstanding my point.

    My point is that letting someone handle certain things and even listening to their advice is not hierarchical.

    So the person written the comment doesn’t need a hierarchy to let their coworker handle organisational tasks nor do they need it to listening to their coworker’s advice.

    So just because they like it that way, doesn’t mean they like the hierarchy nor that they want it, but rather that they like some tasks more than others and acknowledge expertise.

    I am not saying that there is no Hierarchy. I just don’t think they want it, just because they like other elements in their cooperation.


  • I just want to point out that trusting in someone’s competency and leaving certain work for them as you think they are better suited for the work… that is just no Hierarchy.

    Let’s say, we have a man and a woman. They have babies and the babies seem to be able to fall asleep better to the song of the man’s deeper voice. The woman decides that she will let her husband put the children to sleep if possible. Did the woman submit to the hierarchy and her husband, or is she just efficient?









  • Sorry my phrasing was bad and made it confusing. Let me explain it in detail.

    They correctly choose a unsigned int for the time but they based it on Unix time, and Unix time is signed. So they choose a system that would require an conversion from Unix time to Bitcoin time (or the other way around) anyway. But you don’t need to be able to have a timestamp for 1970, which their timestamp system supports, because instead of counting from 2008 (the invention of Bitcoin) they count from 1970. Wasting 38 years and as you know Unix time is hitting a limit in 2038, 68 years after its start, Bitcoin time is unsigned and so it gets to 2106. 2106-1970= 136 years. And they are wasting 38 years!!! Why? You need a conversion between both after 2038 anyway. And if they really care for cheap conversion, a signed 64bit value would be much better, because after 2038, that will probably be the standard. So they chose to waste 38 years for compatibility which will break after 2038, instead of choosing compatibility after 2038 for 292 billion years.

    And if size was the reason and 64bit timestamps would have been too big, just start counting from 2008 (or better 2009 when the network started) and get all those juicy 136 years instead of 98 years.

    It is stupid.


  • I was excited for Bitcoin but the more I learned and the more the public used it, the more I hated it.

    Bitcoins timestamp only supports dates up to 2106 because they decided on an UNSIGNED value. You don’t need negative values… You know when the network starts, that is 0. Without network, no Bitcoin.

    That is how bad it is engineered.

    And we are not even talking proof of work or whatever. Crypto is a scam because the creators made it very obvious that they didn’t really care about the project and the community is just gambling.
