RE: Child Pornography Found in Bitcoin's Blockchain? Let's Discuss Steem Witness Liability (again)!

in #news6 years ago

Well this really sucks. To enter and exit the crypto currency market many of us use BTC. I run the Armory Wallet which requires a copy of Bitcoin core on my hard drive and it's bad enough that it occupies some 150 to 160 GB of space as it is. Now I have to worry about smut being included? What are we supposed to do every time we want to cash out some steem? Download the block chain before a transaction, which can take some 22 hrs, and completely wipe the drive after? How are we supposed to know what is included anyway if the info is encrypted?

Sort:  

I don't think the idea of downloading the entire blockchain just to have a wallet is very practical anyway - future solutions will not require this, I am sure. In short, the legislation is lacking - as usual.. However, Steem wasn't exactly created with legislation in mind!

Nor did they consider copyright law. There is still a guy out there who is uploading Hollywood film productions on a regular basis, without an explanation why he is not getting hit with a lawsuit nor getting flagged for plagiarizing what is clearly not his work. I just wonder when Hollywood will take action.

There are no original ideas in a species of mimics. Intellectual property, patents etc et al is a farce at best, and a tool of civilisational enslavement at worst.
Plagiarism is summarily the highest form of affection.

That may or may not be true, but won't help us when a Court issues a cease and desist order and sends the boys in blue to confiscate server hard drives. Greetings.

Such banal fear-mongering.
Do you remember when you signed your sovereignity away? Salutations.

Saying "Pot kills you" is banal fear mongering; stating that a flying Bullet could kill you is not.

You stated no such thing.
You spoke of monkey-terms such as "courts" and "blue-clad boys" as if such precarious notions mean anything beyond the terrorism they're meant to wield over the inoculated herds' witless head.

for steem you don't have to download the blockchain you can rely on third party API servers to provide you with a connection to the blockchain and push your signed transaction for Steem sending into the chain.

You are ignoring the fact that there is no exchange that trades SBD/Steem to Euro directly.
The problem: Steem - exchange - BTC - exchange - Dollar - exchange - bank - Dollar - bankexch. - Euro.
Who is getting paid here?

My solution: Steem - exchange - BTC hardware wallet.
Now I have to worry about illegal smut ending up in Bitcoin Core 15.1? How would I know??
So where can I buy EOS with SBD/Steem?? Greetings!
