it's fun, but this is a disaster waiting to happen. I've never seen a worse attack surface than this https://www.moltbook.com/heartbeat.md

Isn't this what happens to your money when it's in your checking account? How is this different?

Regulations.

The main difference is that self generated private keys are the bank account.

Someone earning dollars in the US, can send libra to their folks in Ukraine, and they can spend them without conversion fees.

Remittances are a contentious issue. I'm a little ignorant of to what degree governing bodies will have oversight of the movement of money. Is allowing for more unregulated monetary trade a bug or a feature of this system?

That’s a good question. My US centric view:

The open market faction in the US would love to see those trade barriers lowered. Money is expensive to move.

From an ofac perspective, an immutable ledger would allow investigators to trace the funds. Small time criminals use venmo already.

USD as a world currency. I really can’t imagine libra being anything else but an extension of USD.

The issue comes in that financial regulations of the AML and OFAC variety are basically dependent on money only moving in significant amounts through institutions with a lot to lose by not playing ball, and the account creation process having as many controls as possible.

While the immutable ledger is nice, it isn't new, nor does it change the game at all. To be honest, the Libra thing wouldn't be much different at all given the right set of business processes being built around it.

The problem is who is doing it, and what they gain if they are actually allowed to implement those controls. Facebook would have an undisputed goldmine. Full data on every transaction you process through Libra, all your information as collected through integration with services like LexisNexis (which is bloody creepy by the way, even if it is based on public records) plus their already problematic information w.r.t their social network graph.

There is no way that much data collected in one place isn't a societal liability. Period. But no, we're getting reporting that regulators are worried about terrorists. Never mind that private currencies just make auditing and forensic accounting that much more difficult.

Couldn't they do the same If crypto code was on server?

when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Awesome project!

Few notes about the website:

Check the meta tags. "title" says "Template" and "description" says "Sample". I tried to share this with my friends and url preview said Template / Sample.

Currently your website title is "Home" it probably should be your apps name.

Good luck.

Thank you!

Ottoman empire lasted 624 years and it's not mentioned in this article. They mention 'Western Turk (70)' and I've no idea what that means.

Politically my guess is modern Turkey but 'Western turk' is legit term to distinguish, culturally, from Eastern turks such as Siberians, Kazahks, etc whom the Turkish language, spoken in Turkey, descends from

pure speculation but I would assume space around that black hole would act like a vortex, like water going down the drain. so anything get close will be dragged I guess.

Check the screen shot, it's not just an ad, they basically added a sponsored item to the baby registry without telling you. This almost guarantees the purchase of this item because it fools your friends to think you need it.

If this is not shady, I don't know what is.

They can easily create a section called "You friend might also like:" and show sponsored items there.

I think the thickness is because of a special cover on the phone to hide the final design. that's also the reason why they turned down the lights.
