money has to be backed by the state so if bitcoiners really want bitcoin to be used in everyday transactions, i would suggest running for President and replacing U.S. Dollar with Bitcoin for tax payments/legal tender.

how will the state obtain Bitcoins? by building massive resource wasting mining farms which itll have to issue bitcoin bonds to build, making the state subservient to the private bond markets and interest rate it demands, Greek style.

there is massive plague and the economy has collapsed? what will the state do? cant give people money or increase healthcare spending because the capacity of the state to mobilize resources is now limited by what the private sector is willing to give it or how much it can mine. oops mass death.

bitcoiners have to be dumbest creatures alive. these people can’t imagine a pro-Worker Government so they have to come up with convoluted ways to tie the hands of the state so it cant give capitalists free money.

Sole legal tender.

Edit: I dare them to pay all Government employees in Bitcoin, demand taxes be paid in Bitcoin. It would be a funny experiment if it weren’t for mass unemployment and deaths that arise out of a recession.

It would be funny trade wise too. No other country is going to accept Bitcoin as payment for real goods and services. So, the country will have to convert Bitcoin to USD at market price (which can swing wildly) and also hope the market has enough liquidity to handle it.

OK, two cryptocurrencies as legal tender. My point still stands. If you give people a choice between crypto and fiat they will use fiat, even if it’s a foreign currency like the Dollar in El Salvador.

The solution for El Salvador or any other country using a foreign currency isn’t to go with another foreign “currency” like Bitcoin but building their own currency.

El Salvador had their own currency until they gave it up because their leader back then was a US Puppet.

Yea and why cryptocurrency isn’t money with its exchange rate being determined by how much fiat currencies are entering and exiting.

Adblockers can still mute and stop the user from seeing the ads with black screen (or fast forward). Advertisers will still be mad.

Yes ik they disable the video controls but the video is still served just like before, just that they inject ads into it.

FuckyWucky,

Could be a power issue. 2.5" hard drives do require some power. Some external drives have two USB one for data and other for extra power.

Maybe one of your laptops isn’t supplying enough power or the port is dirty causing resistance and voltage drop. Or it could be something else entirely.

Isn’t it better and more accessible to mod existing roms to work with software emulators instead of doing the FPGA thing? It’ll help you preserve the game just the same way and won’t be as difficult as learning FPGA shit.

The route most normal people think when some code is buggy is to modify the code instead of making a whole new CPU. The ROMs aren’t going to vanish just because there are no more CPUs which can run the same ROM.

I think what the society society would benefit from is a centralized ROM Marketplace (Donation based) where you upload modded ROMs for obsolete consoles but of course because of how intellectual property works under capitalism this isn’t possible.

As mentioned, FPGAs are super expensive, not very efficient and require a lot of knowledge of the underlying ICs.

Also there are no FPGAs for PS2 and other modern consoles

FuckyWucky, (edited )

Why would you use FPGAs instead of either trying to make the emulation better or fixing the code to work on new instructions.

And yea modding roms is more difficult but not as difficult as a. Trying to learn how the cpu on these old consoles function b. Learning how FPGAs work c. Programming these fpgas to worn like old consoles.

Alternative is to look at the ROM in which case you would only have to modify the assembly to fix the quirks. Heck if it were a higher level language even a dumbass like me making dogshit on github might be able to do it.

Modern CPUs are so much more powerful, even look at lower power more efficient ones like the one on steam deck that FPGAs feel wasteful. Obviously there might use cases for FPGAs while developing software emulators (I’ve seen it being used to capture video from memory to bypass DRM) especially as the old consoles themselves break.

FPGAs get more and more accessible and cheaper every day. So for the future it will be way easier, cheaper and more accessible.

And so are general purpose CPUs at a much faster rate.

I’m more inclined to agree with the commentor on the other thread.

“Software emulators: are free, run on everything from your PC, phone, your old PSP and probably twenty other things you have in your room right now, putting new life into old otherwise useless hardware FGPA: one-purpose landfill trash that consoomers buy because they can’t imagine investing time in something that doesn’t involve spending large amounts of money, getting dumb plastic shit to fill up your home”

FPGAs get more and more accessible and cheaper every day. So for the future it will be way easier, cheaper and more accessible.

Yea and that’s why speed runners and consoomers are losers who should be deprived of FPGAs.

nineteeneightyfour You will be forced to use software emulators and you will be forced to enjoy it.
