  • The keyword is “private.” The redundant system all the banks maintain can be reduced to a private, permissioned blockchain, creating a network for the banking system to handle their own transactions in addition to a seamless inter-bank communication.

    I doubt a network for just one bank can be that useful compared to the current situation.

    Also, I’d say that every bank has (had?) a team researching the blockchain.


  • The PoS option was to highlight that power consumption doesn’t have to be an issue. Of course, PoS has its own issues.

    The network can use any other type of proof, like Proof of Authority where only a buch of validators owned by the banking system can process the transactions. The network can be even tokenless, no profit or incentives from it, just the secure architecture.


  • Yes, but if we are talking about a private permissioned blockchain, there’s no need to obtain returns from staking. It can be even a Proof of Authority tokenless network for what banking care.

    Banks are already paying for servers to process and store information. A few validators or collators (quite cheap for a private network) provided by several banks would cost a fraction of what they pay now and they’ll keep owning the data, they could reverse transactions, be covered by several layers of public encryption, guard the user’s wallet/login, etc.

    Don’t mix blockchain with the speculative world built on top of it. That’s only an unfortunate use of the technology.

    Actually, there seems to be a bit of a mix-up. Let me clarify.

    In an anarchist group, enforcing anything goes against its fundamental principles.

    If personal gain is the motive, one isn’t truly aligned with the group’s social contract and isn’t considered part of it.

    Decisions are made collectively, without hierarchy. Voting or delegating organisational tasks to sub-groups is the norm.

    I won’t go into words like “attacking,” “defense,” or “threats” as they are military terms, far from the anarchist ethos.

    And I won’t call you “bro” or make you read theory. I feel you won’t.

    Anarchy is not by nature disorganized. Lack of hierarchy doesn’t mean lack of organization. Probably a well-functioning anarchist organization is better organized than most hierarchical ones.

    If friends are not there to defend the group of three, mutual aid is missing. That’s why it failed.

    Unions are not just for getting higher wages. They’re not even just for when conditions start to get worse. Unions should be there for the best as well as the worst working conditions. Unions serve to maintain good and improve bad conditions, it’s not about going against the “boss”, it’s about actively or passively defending the workers’ conditions.

    Would you trust your boss’ lawyer saying “the trial will be fair, you won’t need a lawyer”?

    Your definition of “hate speech” is childish. Hate speech promotes a specific belief filled with prejudiced meanings, leading to disrespect to a certain group of people’s dignity. It is defined by objective standards and has negative impacts on society. This kind of behavior can harm our community as a whole. Strongly in favor of defederating any server that cannot differentiate between “hate speech” and “free speech”
