That was quick, wasn't that feature just introduced earlier this year?
- Apparently, this was actually a thing for over a year; it's just that a lot of us didn't know it existed until recently, when Reddit's recent bad decisions brought this one to light.

I forgot this was a thing.

that was fast. sounds like a failure to plan to me

Scammers stop specific scam when exposed as scam and unable to profit, more at 11.

But.. but.. I taught blockchain could not be killed!?

Wow, it's almost as if using a blockchain to do mundane tasks is hideously inefficient and stupid, and is solely the result of tech bros groupthinking onto the latest buzzword driven bandwagon and high-fiving about line go up.
tldr; fuck crypto and fuck blockchains
