Whoever pays you for IT support, pays you way too much. That is the problem with kids who were born after Win95. They have NO IDEA what DOS is…no idea that Windows is not actually an OS. Windows is a GUI built on top of the DOS language. A .bat file is an executable SCRIPT (which is the same thing as saying program) compiled and run thru Windows by CMD.EXE because Windows is NOT an OS…it is a GUI. If you were at a DOS prompt (something you have probably never seen) you would see that you could EXECUTE a .bat file freely and totally separate from CMD.EXE

A batch file is a script file in DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows. It consists of a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter, stored in a plain text file. A batch file may contain any command the interpreter accepts interactively and use constructs that enable conditional branching and looping within the batch file, such as IF, FOR, and GOTO labels. The term "batch" is from batch processing, meaning "non-interactive execution", though a batch file might not process a batch of multiple data. Source: the fucking Google, learn how to use it

My first real computer experience was with a 186 was around 1988 I believe. I was in grade school. My friend had this older 186 and we typed into DOS and then ran phone dialer program. We called a local restaurant and then laughed when they picked up as we knew we had no microphone. After the person picked up to take our order and then hung up the phone I said to my friend "We just made a phone call from the computer why doesn't everyone just have a computer that's also a phone." I wasn't thinking of a cellphone or even a laptop, I was thinking about it replacing the home phone.

I would also argue that ETH like BTC has first movers advantage. It's one of the oldest shitcoins out there and has provided an extensive environment for app developers to pivot to. More people use it because it's been around for a while and that drawn more developers. The tech though is disappointing. It's slightly faster than BTC but much slower than other more modern chains like nano, lightening, avax, solana, kaspa, etc. I also am not a fan of having millions of L2 chains to fix what's broke on the main L1 ETH chain. It's adds unecessary complexity not just technical but financial as well. If gas becomes so expensive and only huge corporations can use ETH while the plebs are forced onto Polygon, Arbritum, Optimism, etc. Why not just use an L1 that already has those features? I would argue that crypto should fulfill the basic use cases of money first on its L1 then it's secondary financial functions like defi, etc and if it can't do those or if those functions are in direct competition against its its primary functions then move that off to a L2. OP has a point why should he transact in ETH and which shitcoins should crypto standardize on? It's the wild, wild west out there right now and things won't become good for the everyday regular and business users out there without some form of standardization. Just like how IBM standardized DOS/Windows on Intel chips for PCs or Apple introducing the touchscreen iPhone 1 or let's go back a few thousand years what set of weights to use for our city-state?

I am happy for you that you made tons of $$$, sincerely. But that is the problem of this society, having people like you help pump the price of a fundamentally broken chain at the tech level and hence fund a group of corrupt VCs and team. Things like Solana won't last forever, cause it is devoid of fundamentals. We are far from adoption in the crypto space as it barely represents less than 0.5% of global economy. For adoption to occur, many technology feat must occur as well as regulation. For adoption to occur, blockchains must reconcile its public transparency nature with privacy at the smart contract level. Research has progressed well at this level. And current research requires a specific architecture in order to work. Solana's architecture doesn't allow that, since it's using proof of history, a consensus that is deterministic and allows DOS attack. That's why Solana keeps having outages. As a matter of fact, it brands itself as being fast on the order of milliseconds for processing transactions. But it takes minutes for these transactions to be final. That means it's slightly only faster than Cardano and not even comparable to Algorand or Hedera, who have constant finality. As I said, I am happy for you that you made tons of money. But don't let Toly and the VCs (like a16z) dump on you ;)

And what’s wrong with less hash power? The motivation to “attack” bitcoin still needs to outweigh the reward + fees. As far as I know there are two options with an attack: double-spend which is impractical and useless DOS which is extremely expensive and time-sensitive. Even if you managed to mine empty blocks for a month.. then what? As soon as you stop bitcoin goes back to working. It may do serious damage to the adoption rate / price but it doesn’t “kill” bitcoin.

Yea, that's completely fair, but I think that's just a symptom of being 'early'.

Solana's network is now stable and able to survive on the DOS attacks the Eth developers used (looped smart contracts). Firedancer is on live testnet and will take SOL transactions up to 1 million/second. Firedancer will decrease block creation time to 300 milliseconds. Firedancer will be on main net early next year.

51% attack would be extremely expensive to launch and *sustain*. At worst it would result in delays and empty blocks. Like an annoying DOS attack that would eventually end due to the cost to sustain the attack. No double spending would be possible. In the end, the attacker would have spent enormous resources to gain nothing. If somebody - say some nation state with infinite resources - somehow managed to launch *and sustain indefinitely* such an attack, I think a consensus to make a hard-fork, bricking the attacker in their tracks, would be easy to reach and implement. Quantum computing it not, and will never be a threat unless somehow somebody built one in secret that was capable of breaking the cryptography used by BTC. Plenty of efforts are already underway to mitigate that. IF such a device were to materialize overnight having been developed by an attacker in complete secrecy, Bitcoin will be the last of your worries.

Not a perceived slight, just a reality check. It is ironic a group of people who have produced nothing are using a series of technologies that "old people" invented to insult old people. That was the point. Learning crypto is less about technology, it's about usefulness and access. Just like every new tech. Every new tech. People learned computers, internet, phones when 2 things happened : they became useful and they became easier. Cell phone use and computer use took off when it became easy and useful. Believe me, a cell phone was less useful and easy when it weighed a couple pounds and the battery lasted the length of a good shit. To put it a other way, before windows you needed to know DOS. Most people had no fucking clue how to use it other than egg heads and scientists. Most young people in the 80s couldn't use DOS. When I went to university maybe 5% of kids were proficient in DOS. When windows came, about 85% were proficient. Computers became accessible and useful. Crypto is exactly the same. It isn't useful. It isn't easy. Regardless of age.

Imho because "crypto gaming" shouldn't even be a thing. I've also been gaming since forever(when I was a kid I was playing Prince of Persia on DOS), and I've seen gaming evolve since then, but even if I'm in the crypto space this "crypto + whatever" craze should stop imho. Crypto doesn't work with everything, and "crypto gaming" is a dumb idea. Having a good game which IMPLEMENTS some crypto stuff for skins and such MIGHT turn out decent, but if anyone pitches a "crypto game" to me I'll already know from the get go that there's a 99% chance that, as you mentioned, it's either a scam, poorly created, both of these things and will most likely just be a way for devs to cash in with crypto... ...like if major triple-A publishers already didn't put out half-baked games with day 1 DLCs and shit like that which then takes months or years to fix. Gaming is a crowded space and it's in a very bad place right now, at least if you look at the major players in the industry(BG3 is an exception in an industry full of greed and bad management), and it's mostly indie games doing things how they should be done(complete games, fair prices, support and free updates after release and so on). I know we're in crypto sub so I hope this doesn't sound like a crypto hate message, as I mentioned I own some myself, but I've been a gamer my entire life and I still haven't found a single decent reason why "crypto gaming" should be a thing. Everyone hates games with poor real money implementations, pay to win mechanics and stuff like that: now imagine all of this with a dev that makes a game based on a currency that can go up 90% or down -300% in a matter of hours...that'll never lead to a good game.

No, it’s just that eth has to deal with magnitudes more volume (and more complicated transactions) then something like does. When you have a desirable and popular blockchain(eg Solana) with basically 0 gas fees, you end up being dos’d by competitors and trolls and it costs them nothing. Eth’s solution to this scalability problem is high gas fees; no one is going to DOS if it costs them millions. Algo doesn’t have a solution to this, because they have never had to. Look into scalability, it’s one of the most important things for a popular blockchain to think about.

When you plug in the Bitbox02 and enter the passcode it says something like "Use Bitbox App." Scanning on Sparrow would say "Logged in" and the button would say "Sign" I think that's how it's supposed to work. In this case, a couple times during the scanning process the Bitbox would go into the "Enter passcode" phase again, and the scanning would fail, I would enter the code again and it would just say "Bitbox02" I would rescan on Sparrow and it would fail. It felt like the old DOS days when you'd just try rebooting the computer to fix problems and it would work 90% of the time.

First Story: Before I moved to Kenya, I use to send my wife money every month via Western Union. For some bizarre unknown reason WU thought my wife was a terrorist and blocked me. They also reported me to some organization and I ended up on some highly inclusive ban list and was blocked EVERYWHERE that I could find to send money overseas. Several dozen companies. Eventually, WU unblocked me after I sent tons of proof that my wife was actually my wife. This took around six months. During this time, her only support from me was via crypto. There was no alternative. Second story: After I moved to Kenya, I wanted to buy a house. When I tried to wire the money, my bank said I had to come in person to sign the paperwork. This was during the height of the Covid panic and international flights weren't even available in many parts of the world. I tried using ATMs, PayPal transfers, and WU. However, my bank had a policy of only $10k in transfers per month. At this rate, it would have took around a year to get the money. It was crazy, I couldn't buy a home with my own money. After many futile attempts, I finally switched to cryptocurrency. Long story, but eventually I was able to sell some of crypto savings locally using hundreds of small transactions (mainly to be safe). This took under a month. I could have done it faster, but Mpesa only allows $3000 in transfers per day and I didn't want to carry large amounts of cash. Third story: I use to love making computer games, but never had a way to monetize it. Despite my games spreading through shareware to over a million people (mainly Atari ST and early PC DOS crowd), I never got a deal with a distributor. Setting up my own distribution network was beyond both my skill level and financial ability. Because of this, I lost hope in ever making games for a living. It occurred to me at some point that if I could make my games multiplayer, I could monetize them, but even setting up a debit/credit card system was still beyond both my financial and technical capabilities. Crypto makes the problem of monetization a hundred times easier. I made a multiplayer game that requires a server, so I can distribute the game client for free. It works with cryptocurrency. No need for Visa/Mastercard. At some point, once beta is complete, I could charge a small fee. Even that may not be necessary as I can just charge a small percentage of sales with the built in auction house. Admittedly, this last story is still ongoing. It is also a bit pointless, as I am already successful. I can make games without really worrying about making a profit on them. Plus, there is the Steam platform for solo developers now. Then again, that is a centralized solution to game publishing, so they could totally change their policy (like requiring a million dollars to publish a game) and cut off solo developers.

There’s also enough nodes with 8333 open already to facilitate IBD’s. More bandwidth never hurts, but we’re not in dire need for it. If anything, advertising your node on the open internet invites more privacy risks than most would deem worth it when all they want to do is view their own copy of the blockchain without killing their upload bandwidth speeds and/or cap. It also makes you a DOS target if someone were to attempt something like that against the entire network. I’ll probably still open it up one day, but maybe after I decide to pay the extra couple of dollars to just do it through my VPN.

Relays are still useful. Non-listening nodes relay blocks to the listening nodes they’re connected to. Those listening nodes can also talk to each other, but it’s always better to have a more diverse and interconnected network. DOS protection is a pretty big deal. If you can map all the node IP’s that are accepting incoming connections you could theoretically take them all down at the same time with a powerful enough exploit. That exploit would never make it to the non-listening nodes because the attacker can’t even connect to them.

How on earth can a coin protect against a DOS attack with transaction fees of zero? Transaction fees are for SECURITY. How can you have "instant" transactions on a heavily decentralized network? Fast transaction fees almost always mean centralization. Sounds like nano is right where it needs to be and we should instead be talking about people promoting coins that claim to solve the blockchain trilemma when that's impossible. They always do so at the expense of security and decentralization. SOL, anyone?

I've been just randomly buying BTC and ETH over the past 8+ months and ignoring all my shitcoins in the cosmos ecosystem... Just went to claim all my rewards, transferred them to osmosis, swapped into ATOM, send back to Keplr and staked. I forgot why I was so bullish on this ecosystem...maybe most of these tokens shit the bed and never recover but goddamn is the UX smooth as fuck...makes dealing with ETH and layer 2's seem like DOS compared to Windows.

Not to sound like a broken record, but we kind-of have to be because people don't get it. Gas fees on L1 are supposed to be high. THEY SHOULD BE HIGHER. High gas fees make DOS attacks expensive. Low gas fees mean attacking the blockchain is a bargain. All the other "eth killers" are lying to you. The blockchain trilemma cannot be solved. You can't have low gas fees, fast transaction finality, security, and decentralization all at one. Ethereum is the only blockchain that lays it all out on the table. L1 is all about security and decentralization, L2 is where the compromises can be made for fast transaction times and low fees. But make no mistake about it, they're compromises.

These levels of fees happen all the time during the bull runs and can occur without Ordinals at all, you must be new and thats okay, but you should know that Bitcoin has a defense mechanism from DOS. That defense mechanism is fees, and the more someone tries to DOS the network, the higher fees become to stop them. Sending a small amount of bitcoin si the same price now as when bitcoin is having a bullrun, natural competition for blockcpace during bulls creates the same fees as the "DOS" as you called it. People in El Salvador are not prevented form using bitcoin by Ordinals lol, you are kind of overreacting about fees. Some people even say that Bitcoin Ordinals have "saved" Bitcoin in the long run because now there is a reason for people to pay the miners after the rewards for blocks are gone. With a use case like ordinals, miners will always have a source of transfers on the blockchain even if Bitcoin becomes the "settlement layer" of a larger system as some refer to it.

Have you seen the mempool lately? The tech has no capacity for ordinals. It's not about terabytes lol. Either use it for what it's intended to be or forget about adoption. 10 minute block time and 1.5 mb blocks are already bad, why fill it with crap too? 303,624 Unconfirmed TXs right now with some transaction fees as high a $3000 How are people in El Salvador supposed to pay hundreds of dollars for fast transactions? I would compare ordinals to a DOS attack. Denial of service if you are not rich.

I didn't say if "suffer'ed, I called it a DOS. Clearly it's a denial of service, if someone who would make a transaction at $1-2 won't do so, because they won't pay $30. Look at how much news there has been recently about Bitcoin being in trouble. Clearly you can generate a load of FUD/bad press by spending some money spamming the network with transactions. You don't have to do it indefinitely, just enough to cause people to worry that it might continue. I have no opinion on whether it's good or bad, I'm just pointing out that it doesn't matter whether the transactions come from normal people or attackers, the effect is the same.

Nobody is being denied service in a technical sense. As long as you have fees you can make txs go. Nobody is intentionally doing this to make low fee txs not go through as far as we're aware, so it's not an attack. If Bitcoin saw greater adoption this tx volume and fee level would eventually happen so it's not as if it shouldn't be prepared for events like this. If this is a DOS attack Bitcoin's current infrastructure and setup is far too fragile to ever consider it as a global currency.

Self custody / on-chain interaction. Especially on layers with no CEX on-ramps requires learning. This type of mass adoption is not around the corner, but it does not remove any of the properties which provide an asset like ETH value. Either way, most of us under 70 years old now understand how to use Windows, browsers, smart appliances, the internet, smart phones, social media, etc. Most here don't remember or ever experienced the feeling of learning DOS or windows 3.1, as an adult, for the first time. Believe me, it wasn't easy. Couldn't be more alien. This all will require some educating, but it will get better with improved user experiences / UI. Will take years, and the younger you are the easier it'll be. Patience.

It is a genuine concern I totally agree, most fud usually has at least some kernel of truth If we only take the sequencers (ignoring for a moment the upgradable L1 contracts), then some concerns may be MEV extraction, DOS attacks on it, censorship to rob certain users from time sensitive opportunities (e.g. the sequencer might temporarily ignore some arbitrage trade transactions while executing others that the operator is pals with) So stuff like this will need to be addressed

Part of that has probably got to do with stability. When I was a kid, computers were constantly crashing and needed trouble shooting. I dug in deep and fixed all my own issues, often using DOS and figuring out all the commands. Now kids just take their iPad to a "genius" to do it for them.

If it becomes unprofitable the miners will go offline and the difficulty will drop until it finds an equilibrium where its profitable again. If mining becomes centralized the only attack they can do is DOS (censoring) which they can only do for so long as it still costs them to mine each block (POW). On a POS chain once someone gains 51% its game over. They will stay in control by virtue that their larger stack will get proportionately larger as they take a larger portion of the stake. Atleast with POW you can combat the attack through attrition or bringing more miners online (hashwar) as energy (work) is unlimited.

> If the pieces are already in place for crypto payment methods, than all the better. In what possible way do these services represent pieces being in place? If the merchant needs to accept crypto directly, these services will have done nothing to facilitate that. > The existence of a service that converts crypto to fiat simply helps crypto-users that want to use their coins for daily transactions. I'm not saying the service is invalid, I'm saying the service creates net negative demand for cryptocurrency. If you have a platform that has low demand (direct crypto payments), and make that platform seamlessly compatible with more popular systems (via services like this), what happens is that demand for your platform remains weak/shrinks. See for example the history of IBM OS/2 compatibility with DOS.

That’s because the ecosystem is still very early. At this point of crypto we’re still in “Alpha” development - retail are still interacting with raw code and limited UX improvement. But over time apps will integrate and build on each other to create seamless integration - like how on your IOS you can pay via credit card. Or how your phone can interact with your gmail. It’s like early 1990 computer users learning to operate in DOS whilst Windows 1 was just coming out - now no one uses DOS but it’s still the backbone of basic PC OS.

It's a DOS exploit against bitcoind. Someone has to execute it first, and you can get in serious trouble for launching DdoS attacks if you're caught. So yeah, Bitcoin is in trouble if anyone uses it. It won't go down completely, but hash rate could fall 80%. It's also very expensive to maintain DDoS attacks, so there's no point to execute it until you're ready to short BTC.

I like to make the analogy between blockchains and operating systems... Bitcoin is like a mainframe: slow but dependable, doesn't change much. Ethereum was like DOS/Basic: Functional, easy to develop, reliable enough, but bloated. Cardano is like UNIX: Reliable, fast, focused on core development. Cardano is building a toolset that can actually do the job required, by solving the blockchain trilemma in stages and unlocking new features as they go. This is a better architecture for a world-scale distributed system that can handle billions of users.

Yes, us boomers are frequently much maligned as ignorant and hopeless with current technology, despite the fact that much of the technology of bitcoin is boomer created. Hal Finney, the first bitcoiner, was a boomer. In my case, in my pioneering work in digital signal processing which helped lead to today's (yesterdays) music samplers, where I laboriously had to hard wire every IC buss connection in a dedicated computer and program it with machine code, so DOS was welcome, and the development of bitcoin was a revelation when I first started to hodl in 2016... but I digress. I can relate with you about your kids. Even my own university educated kids are mostly ignorant of bitcoin. At our recent Xmas dinner, not wanting to come across as too obviously into bitcoin, and as a way of testing their knowledge, I casually asked if anyone was 'orange-pilled?'... I was met with blank faces, with them probably thinking I was a Breaking Bad dad and drug-related LOL I quickly explained what I meant. We're all still early, and I like Satoshi's attitude '...if you don't know, I haven't got the time to explain it to you" but I got their attention fast when I laser-eyed them with my impressive percentage gain on my tiny investment.
