I think if the goal of the currency is not to convert to fiat or make money overall then crypto is pretty anarchist by itself as it allow to create parallel markets. I like the spin of SolarCoin but in the end it falls in the pit of other coins because its value is measured in fiat. Nano in my opinions has a couple of issues. The community can be a bit crazy at times, at the end of the crypto craziness I ended up leaving the nano sub on reddit about it because people there were a bit intense. Also, I think it needed more developer involvement at least at the time I last interacted with them. I don't think there is anything wrong with proof of work, it's a matter of power sources. Problem is that most currencies don't care about energy sources.

I used to think like that. As times passes I'm increasingly starting to agree with what you are saying. Sadly I do still think that is a matter of choice. There are poorly valued college educations and not all off them are philosophy and literature. I don't see anything wrong with them existing like you said, they teach people critical thinking and improve people overall. But like you said the lie that education exists to give us jobs exists and there are people going to college to learn not very lucrative things and expecting to make a living out them and coming out with dept and can't find an occupation that provides for them. Honestly I think the only way to go around that problem is to make University universal and free. That way you can always go back for something more lucrative or later in life to learn something that makes you grow.
Very cool
Nice and informed comment. Completely agree, specially with the part about software being the domain most advanced in terms of post capitalistic post scarcity.
Interesting... what made you think The dispossessed has solarpunk elements? Obviously anarchist but I feel like it doesn't have much focus on balance with the natural world, just in how the inhabitants of Anarres feel like the people on Urras have an actual planet and treat it like shit while they have a deserted planet and try as hard as they can to be In balance with it.
Oh that makes sense. The sad thing is that I feel like most people would find signal less cluttered than Whatsapp
I'm with you on that. I feel like open source is the best possible way to security audit and test issues. As any issue will be out there to see, most proprietary code ends ups being years of duct tape which wouldn't fly if a large community of different backgrounds took a look at the code
Damn you know some cultured people. I can't get anyone to leave Whatsapp for it. Even when I mention how ugly it is and how shady it is for it to be owned by Facebook

Thank you for that, I wasn't aware that was a thing! I'll bookmark that to read later as it seems a bit long! I didn't even know melting currencies were a thing
If there was ever a good reason for pre sales I think that's that. The problem I see with start up hubs college based is that they are limited in terms of help and mostly lead to companies falling into VCs hands. At least in my country. I think the most "anarchist" way of doing it may be just crowdsourcing mostly because it's the potential clients that actually fund the venture. I think it's probably a pain mostly because it turns into a marketing campaign but at least the funding is honest. No VCs, no angel investment, no quarterly projections. A company could actually aim to be sustainable instead of infinite growth based.
I'm actually in the the part of XR in my region most likely to do stuff like that but since XR in my country has very few people doesn't look like I'm going to divert many to do different things but I see what you mean. I'm having an in person event soon so I may try to network in that direction.
