Unless people really use bitcoin to pay for stuff. Then, whatever token can be exchanged for something of value is the one everyone wants, doesn't matter if the miners fork


Unfortunately bitcoin becomes steadily less useful for actually using and paying for stuff as time goes on. Back in the day, it could be used on amazon, buy a coffee etc. Now its just a bizzare experiment in markets without consumers.


One solution is to set up a free lastpass account, change all the passwords to something random and only use autofill. They have to go out of their way to enter the password into another domain

Sucks if they want to log in using a new or borrowed device


I've got my mom using an iPad which also reduces the attack surface, not to mention it's pretty hard for her to screw up the device on her own. I haven't had to help with anything computer related in about 4 years.


>I'd much prefer a policy where everyone gets to decide in advance how many drink tickets they want

Then you would get people like me, asking for lots of tickets as you can just discard those when you are done but you would not be able to ask for extra ones. At that point, you could just remove the ticket system as it doesn't work anymore


Sure but then if you over-indulge you're on record as someone who (1) requested way too many tickets and (2) wasn't capable of managing their own intake effectively or knowing their limits ahead of time.

The goal is to help responsible adults remain responsible adults after a couple drinks when parts of your brain tell you to drink more than you know you should.

The default of two drinks per night is a good starting point; my point is to let responsible adults decide for themselves ahead of time if more than two would be good for them.


honestly if you have a hard time sticking to two drinks at an event that could affect your livelihood, you probably just shouldn't drink.

we don't need some rube goldberg system of drink metering. we need people to handle their own shit. if they actually behave badly you can always fire them.


You could sell a better ad block list. The free ones are very good but could be improved providing bypasses for ad-blocking-blocking. A button to report a website showing ads to have somebody write new rules would be nice too
