What good does immutability truly do you? What are the pros and cons? It is not obvious to me the pros outweigh the cons.

Next decade's winners can't change the way history was recorded.

That's a pro. Very good! Now how about you exercise some intellectual honesty and provide some cons as well?

You're doing an excellent job on your own, cupcake.

"Very good", take off.

somebody's grump they couldn't con another sucker into the grift industry :'(

I'll only engage with the parts of your comments that are in good faith, few as they may be.

If you know of any alternative proposals for creating an incentive structure to store an unadulterated log of...whatever it may be that random humans may want to share with future humans, please share.

It seems like a valuable goal.

That's not an application. It's a technological result. It may or may not be applied for productive work (I'd say on the whole the negative results have outweighed the positive so far, especially looking at the ecosystem as a whole)

Were you also a critic of the first computing devices themselves, by chance?

they also weren't applications, if that's what you're implying. But they quickly found quite a lot of highly valuable ones.

Let's save each other some time:

What's more likely?

You convince the Internet connected world not to adopt a proof of consensus mechanism via HN comment and related butterfly effects,

or something just like the posted app/service not only exists but thrives in under 5 years?

I don't think I need to convince them because they're not adopting it. So no, I don't expect this to have actual users in 6 months, let alone 5 years.

Users aren't adopting Ethereum?

Now I know for certain we can call it here.

Sorry we didn't get further, reader.
