#[2] wrote two critiques of Jason Lowry’ book Softwar (both are good, first one has a bit of an intro for context)

Thanks for sharing. 🤷♂️
What do you think?
I think that boiled down, Lowry’s thesis basically says that you can help secure a computer system by requiring btc as payment, therefore raising the cost of trying to hack it. I think that’s solid.
Thanks for the zap!
I don’t think that’s what he’s saying, he’s making big arguments that BTC is hard to hack and BTC can store information other than financial transactions, and so if you wanted to make some information unhackable you could try to make it run on bitcoin, but @lopp pointed out why this isn’t practical.
This wasn’t the only claim Lowry was making either.
Also this is a quick, rough summary
Have you seen the LNBits extension that turns on relays when you send a lightning transaction?

That’s what I summarize Lowery’s entire book towards.
🥳 makes me want to drop everything and keep coding.
This is cool
