Nah, I don't think everybody needs a gun. Let's remove the incentives for aggression first. Peaceful parenting is key, teach the Non-Aggression Principle to our kids.. education is everything.
As for the Ledger Nano S, yep that will be an awesome addition to the Bitshares platform. As always it will be open source too :)
Is it easy to work with the nano? i.e. can anyone obtain the nano sdk and program the device with custom firmware? Are any fee based licenses required or is the sdk open source?
Right on wrt peaceful parenting and the need to raise children without modeling violence.
The Nano is tough, as I learn more about it I will share it in my weekly reports :)
Peaceful Parenting needs an acronym too, but please don't say you practice PP. ;)
In particular I'm interested if any retail nano S can be reprogrammed with an SDK and whether the SDK requires a costly license. Or do you work with special nano S devices for prototyping that are programmable, but retail nanos are not programmable that way.
And for the record, I 'P' every day, multiple times, so I DO in fact practice PP, some days PPPPPP...
lol, at least someone gets my weird sense of humour ;)
As for the Nano S questions, what I do know is that we have not had to pay for their SDK, and the retail Nano S is the one we are building on. The Ledger Devs have been extremely helpful too, good group of guys over there.
That's great to hear ken. I like programmable HW I can hack if I want to!
I don't think that owning a gun makes you aggressive by nature... I am a loving hippy at heart, and have no desire to shoot somebody. However, I am 100% a believer in self-defense. Does that make me aggressive in your opinion? If nobody had guns, I wouldn't feel the need to have one. And if all crypto exchanges were reliable, I wouldn't feel the need for a hard wallet either :D it's all about how MUCH do you trust other people, and I don't think that aggression really plays a role in my actions, except for aggressively acquiring more crypto (: and when you say it will make an awesome addition to the bitshares platform, are you designing an app to store BTS on the Ledger (google chrome app) or are you building a Ledger interface for the bitshares online exchange / DEX?
I have a lot of faith in Bitshares in the near future and I don't really like how it seems different for sending/receiving, with regards to other digital assets. But yeah, I didn't mean to come off as hostile or aggressive and I'd love to hear more about specifically what you're designing!
Agorists like myself believe that self-defense is absolutely justified if you are meeting force with equal force, never escalate. Remember also, that you can meet "their" force with non-violent means such as implementing ideas for freedom and creating products that will render their incentive for force useless.
Why create a nuclear missile at all if #1 nobody is willing to fund it, and #2 there is no reason to build it in the first place?
Don't get me wrong either, I am not anti-gun nor am I anti self-defense. I love to go shooting, I am obviously quite good at it (I was a Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor afterall), but I see so many more productive ways of defending you, and all of humanity, by peaceful means. Through code.
As for the Ledger Nano S, we are writing the firmware for that device so that you can securely store and transfer all of your Bitshares assets to it and from it.
Very good points made sir 😄 Yeah unfortunately I'm not too useful to the coding world, as of yet. The best I can do is promote revolutionary technology (such as this).
And also, when you say all your bitshares assets, you mean any asset available on bitshares? Or just BTS? I'd love to be able to store BTS, STEEM, SBD, EOS, etc on my Ledger!
Any and all assets :)
Awesome! 😎💯❤️ I'll definitely be checking in to see how that's going down the road! Thanks for everything you're doing Ken!
