2018: somehow messaging companies find the only thing that could drive people back to skype as they consume all system resources just so they can have a blockchain
@Dex I couldn't really tell from that article (which I didn't have a lot of time to read), how much this decision is going to affect individual users. I don't think it's as specific as "use all connected devices to mine currency"?
@emanate this was primarily a joke, since yeah, the article doesn't give a great sense of what it means, just "why would i want that in my simple little chat app where i send cute stickers to people"
I'm more wary of the news causing a lot of folks I know to then abandon the platform, and like...dammit, I don't want to switch platforms /again/ or have yet another one to keep in touch on IMs.
