  - My googling says get your ios onto 14.8 -- nm - ty97 Sep 13, 13:01
- But I was lead to believe Apple was hack-proof? -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 12:38 4
  - It's slightly harder to hack, and simply rebooting the phone is usually enough to clear out anything that has succeeded -- nm* - Beryllium Sep 13, 12:58
  - Does anyone actually believe this? -- nm - ty97 Sep 13, 12:49 1
    - People that irrationally hate everything Apple do. -- nm - spamlet Sep 13, 12:57
  - but what if the apples themselves are hacking it? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 13, 12:42

- Several things about this - eag Sep 13, 12:53
Ooh, polywork's growth hacking team just reached out to me and offered to make me a custom invite code to replace "lickitongue". - Beryllium Sep 13, 12:25 4
- these are words -- nm - oblique Sep 13, 12:28 3
  - Do you want a polywork invite? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 12:30 2
    - *googles* Never heard of it. I'm guessing that isn't a good sign for my need for it :) -- nm - oblique Sep 13, 12:32 1

Here is the LiteCoin chart upon the distribution of the Wal-Mart news followed by the reveal that it was fake. -- (pic) - Tenetennbaron Sep 13, 12:06 [Attachment] 18
- How to exaggerate in graphs, exhibit 1. - Will Hunting Sep 13, 12:32 1
  - Default view. It sets the limits according to what it needs to display the data. - Tenetennbaron Sep 13, 12:37
- and people wonder why the SEC wants to crack down on crypto... -- nm - decline Sep 13, 12:11 15
  - Is this crypto's fault though? -- nm - ty97 Sep 13, 12:23 12
    - The better question is how did Globe Newswire end up publishing a fake press release from Walmart? -- nm - oblique Sep 13, 12:27
    - No. Crypto is volatile any day. Fault lies with news agencies and others who publicized a phony press release without verifying. -- nm - zunk xometimes Sep 13, 12:26 10
      - Why is it so volatile compared to traditional currency? Isn't that by design? -- nm - mara Sep 13, 12:31 9
        
        isn't the reality that it's not a currency, but a new form of security? -- nm - decline Sep 13, 12:34 8
        
        Can it be both? :) - oblique Sep 13, 12:42 1
        
        I mean, I guess. The same way that they could make Apple stock the legal tender of the country - decline Sep 13, 12:48
        
        Okay, so isn't it designed to be a highly volatile security? -- nm - mara Sep 13, 12:37 5
        
        design? probably not, but the speculation that has become an inherent part of the crypto markets makes it so - decline Sep 13, 12:51 2
        
        But it's unbacked by design, I assume. It offers no returns (coupons, dividends, interest, etc) by design. -- nm - mara Sep 13, 13:08 1
        
        true, but now we're moving into the theories behind the original design of blockchain - which is a bit tough since we still don't know who developed - decline Sep 13, 13:19
        
        no. I wouldn't say designed. It is very very new (relatively speaking) and it's volatility reflects that. T think others would argue that as it is - oblique Sep 13, 12:40 1
        
        Adoption and speculative hoarding are two different things. -- nm - znufrii Sep 13, 12:55
  - meanwhile EQXWF jumps from 0.048 to 0.097 and then back down to 0.045 today. :) -- nm - oblique Sep 13, 12:19 1
    - That's just typical pink sheet boiler room BS though -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 13, 12:32
