We need a FOSS & decentralized alternative to steam.

    This pressure is coming from the payment providers without whom no storefront can operate. We need alternatives to Visa and Mastercard.

    This is literally the kind of thing crypto was invented for, but the useful idiots on the internet are too stupid to see the value of it.

    Good job being morons. You are all being herded like sheep.

    I honestly don't understand how to “do” crypto. Here’s my brain’s interpretation and questions. You will probably see why I, and many others, don’t use it or dabble in it:

    It’s got to be mined to obtain (power hog and time)

    You can buy it but it is traded like stock which may inflate it to be more expensive to obtain

    Who really owns or has responsibility over what you purchase when it comes to the cryptocurrency?

    Where is it “stored” (locally, on a cloud somewhere)?

    What coin type do you choose and how do you know it’s safe?

    Do you just make your own coin and use a program that does everything needed to package it as “money”?

    How does someone verify that you actually have the money behind the coin(s)?

    We need a...decentralized alternative to steam.

    Customer protections would suuuuuuuck if everyone was running different variations of, what is essentially, a store. Not to mention shovelware would be even more rampant.

    Seems like a weekend hack to set up a fediverse-backed categorized market that, when you want to buy something- forwards to a "buy our download" link of the seller's choice. Rabid moralists would have to challenge each producer/indie developer individually to take things down.

    The real crux is to build a nice user interface on top of it so people would actually use it.
