Kick an, da sind wa wieder... Wir, Ralf und Jan, reden über Bayern, Union und das Spiel gegen RedCow der Frauen. Uns hat das Spaß gemacht und ein bisschen Therapie war es auch.

In this article, we’ll explore the rich history and legends behind Akabeko, why it nods its head, and even its appearance in the popular game Rise of the Ronin.

RedCow: > relying on the legal system to compensate you **when** you get scammed is far superior to **preventing** scams in the first place through cryptography Right. The “legal system” is an effective deterrent: Their disclaimer (in the footer) is proof enough. RedCow: > you are basically complaining I’m not “complaining”. Their position that “price of cryptocurrencies is determined speculatively” ignores stablecoins? RedCow: > design is bad or a scam Don’t know about their design (is it public?), but their one-page excuse to sell _Community Vouchers_ comes off pretty bad, yeah.

RedCow: > What aspect of SimpleX Chat does this enshittify? I have yet to se an in-house crypto project that has any real utility. There are two major barriers: (1) nobody wants them so they hold little to no value and (2) if mainstream exchanges ever adopt them, it takes a while. Most are overt scams or at best they are just failed projects. It would be nice if I am proven wrong, but like others here, I doubt it will be useful for the stated purpose, which makes me suspicious as to whether there is some other hidden purpose. As I said, time will tell.

I think if you quote the _entire_ post you’re replying to, the system will remove it because you can just use the reply button, and take up much less space, and people will assume you’re replying to the entire post. The quotes are for replying to specific portions of a post. * * * RedCow: > enforce the completion of services before the payment is received I’m not totally convinced about how _necessary_ that is, but I suppose that does make sense

RedCow: > Did you read the article? It is a funding mechanism for servers, not the developers. It uses smart contracts to force the servers to provide what was purchased before they receive the payment. If you believe that just because they say that’s what it’s for that must be the actual reason behind it, then I have a bridge to sell you. You don’t need a crypto token to do this. Tor is a perfect example of a project that has already accomplished a wide array of community relays without one, and it is far more successful than any projects that do use “tokenomics”. RedCow: > These negative responses are so odd. The biggest thing SimpleX needs is a more diverse array of server providers, and this seems like an interesting attempt to incentivize that. Is this not beneficial to privacy? Just allow anyone to run community federated servers discoverable via DHT. Hell you can even provide a token-less POW where enrolling a server requires some complex work to be done first as an anti-spam mechanism. RedCow: > Not that anyone has provided any evidence of this being a scam. Have _you_ read the article? If the intentions are only to incentivize server operators why are they going to take a massive 40% cut out of that incentive? > they will be locked in a smart contract, and only released once servers have provided capacity to the users, with the funds shared between server operators and SimpleX network, with operators receiving up to 60%

RedCow: > AI art thumbnail. This indicates that the creator is low effort. Would you have preferred the cringey mouth open style thumbnail instead?
