    We need widespread adoption and innovation in OPEN ARCHITECTURES like RISC-V. Anything else is just citizens and companies being used as pawns to do the dirty work for rivaling nation states that spy on and stifle the liberties of their own citizens.

    Intel has most likely hidden a back door in Intel chips and China has most likely hidden a back door into ARM, ESP8266, ESP32, and other chipsets. No one can ever prove this conclusively without violating NDA’s because these are closed architectures.

    I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Another way might be for a Lemmy instance to run a stake pool from the same machine. They could offer perks to users while also not requiring donations directly. Perhaps even reward users with the pool’s native tokens for every post they submit or something (this is a great place to bring up the drawbacks and very real issues that offering a perverse incentive can have: Cobra Effect).

    The tech chosen is a key decision(in this case Cardano would be my recommendation honestly because I prefer the tech and not because I have a bag of it) because that stake pool could mint native tokens and use those as a currency for use on their instance if we used Cardano. Native tokens on Cardano are cheaper and not subject to the same fees as other (ERC-20) chains to use and mint. So it would allow that instance to have its own native currency with very little overhead.

    Look at Kbin’s old code. There’s some mention of Cardano wallets on there so I’m guessing that the creator of that was interested in this idea.
