  1. sorry for late reply. thank you for this details. do you really think risc-v has a shot at taking down the big guys? intel/arm/amd?
  2. also one thing to note: that inwin case i have is an updated version of the d frame mini which allows me to have mount a micro atx board in there but i have to give up the hard drive mounts but it doesnt really matter because i am using a nvme ssd so i wont be having a harddrive that i need to mount. Also, i have to go and buy motherboard mounting screws because they only give you 5 when you need more for micro atx
  3. finally filled out everything that i got. the total is about $800 which exceeds my budget but thats alright. once the parts start coming in ill show some pictures.
  4. Simple build for myself because my last computer blew up lol, i no longer game so i am not going to be spending money on a new graphics card. i mainly program so i am going to be using linux mint for this rig. The parts i am going to be using is: Motherboard:Asus TUF B450M-Plus Case: Inwin D Frame Mini CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz C16 DDR4 DRAM GPU: gtx 660ti PSU: EVGA 110-BQ-0500-K1, 500 Bq, 80+ Bronze 500W, Semi Modular, Storage Device: Samsung 970 EVO SSD 500GB Budget: 500-700 USD
  5. This is my 2nd post about Blockchain, still curious as to what you guys think about it. DeFi, DCC, and other Dapps? what is yall opinion on it all? which projects is exciting? non fungible tokens? interesting games like cryptokitties and gods unchained?
  6. i was just like you, but start with linux mint. eventually you get use to using the terminal and slowly you will start to think linux is better
  7. just like the title says, Intel and AMD all have a backdoor in them which are potential vulnerabilities. my question is does a raspberry pi have one? obviously their are different chips for different rasberry pis but in general do they? thank you very much
  8. i had a small misconception that the blockchain becomes the computational resource provider. this is not true. the decentralized computing i should have been referring to is ran off chain. but a marketplace that allows computational resource providers is decentralized. this is a github project that is working on that as we speak. https://github.com/iExecBlockchainComputing/iexec-sdk what i think is happening and correct me if i am wrong, is that the blockchain becomes the middleman between applications seeking for computational resources and the providers.
  9. im sorry. the technology is way too immature. people dont take is serious yet and they have good reason not too. its falls behind due to scalability issues and will fall short from being useful if we tried using it today at the scale i want it to be used. but i am a firm believer that this technology is revolutionary and i still hold my stance about how it will affectedly cripple these big tech companies. I have to accept that this is decade long bet. ultimately, the probability if this technology taking off and becoming successful is very favorable and i am willing to bet everything i have on it. blood, sweat, tears, money, passion, everything. i wanted to spark a good conversation and discuss this topic with people who might also be interested on this forum (maybe find a partner to work on a project with) but i dont think thats gonna happen. but i encourage you guys to look into it. its not a fad, its not hot air, its actually pretty concrete shit. so thanks guys!
  10. bro i am not here to sell shit. i promise. what the fuck would i want to sell? if u want to know my motive then ill tell you. i want the industry to progress because our system is fuckt right now. and im refering to both big tech and our financial system. The only way to fix it IMO is to give the people back their control. why would i want big tech to know every fucking thing about me? why would i be okay with big banks printing away our money? to address ur stupid statement, open source has literally changed everything. do u see people walking around with a windows phone or an android? is the majority of web dev being ran on windows or linux servers? sure gimp hasn't taken over photoshop buts it sure has been a thorn in their side. their are thousands of open source projects that are taking over the industry. to address ur other stupid statement, open source isnt the driving force of blockchain adoption. its the technologies usecase and reliability.
  11. and we dont have 2 sides here? i think its great you think its dumb!
  12. i know many things about the blockchain enough to understand how its gonna be big but not enough about 1 thing on the blockchain. this is the reason why i started this post
  13. i dont mind you being a skeptic. in fact its good that you are. how else would people question idiots like me who bring up very controversial topics?
  14. so you bring up a good point. why would they want to give up the data? to them its gold right? but the thing is, they have no choice. the beauty of blockchain projects is that they are open source! its not 1 company giving up the data. in fact the network itself is not a company the company just contributes to that open source code that runs on the network. idk exactly how they make money but they are not the owner of the blockchain. WE are the owners of the blockchain. its a democratic system. they are only contributor to the project they created. what they might get is the increase in value of the tokens they own.
