wutXthree··on FragAttacks: new security vulnerabilities that affect wi-fi devices
Hunh? So you are saying that if I buy the DVD player at https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-dvd-player-with-hd-upconve... that I'm agreeing to an "EULA" that doesn't seem to exist on the site and that is apparently not mentioned at all before purchase?

Please tell me you're joking.

Bitcoin only represents about half of that "market cap" number though.

Bitcoin Cash and TRON, for instance, process more transactions than Bitcoin pretty regularly now. TRON even processes more transactions than Ethereum.

If you take TRON though, for instance, you are getting a claim on the nearly continuous new TRON production though.

Same for LOOM and quite a few other cryptos.
