    If it has crypto anywhere on it, or so much smells slightly of crypto, you make sure you’re paid in real money up front.

      Don’t spend your own money on a friend or family member’s pet project unless you’re willing to consider that money a gift if you need to.

      The ‘cousin’ part is the part that’s tripping him up here. Any other business venture telling you “I can only afford to pay you if you redo it” could be met with a retort of, “That isn’t the terms of our contract. If payment is not rendered according to our contract, I’ll be seeing you in court.”

    Probably unrelated to this, but ’nonce’ is a concept in cryptography (not the cryptocurrency-kind), a number used only once in a cryptographic operation.

    Apart from the colloquial British use, that is.

      Thank you for explaining, I only know nonce being used to refer to someone as a pedo so Noncefest certainly raised an eyebrow. I can only assume this guy was unaware of the meaning.

        The slang term for pedophile is only used in the UK, hence the Americans keep doing this.

      Am from the UK and my mom would call anyone she didnt like on TV a nonce (turns out she had a high accuratarcy rate) so i grew up thinking it just meant stupid, which resulted in me calling myself a nonce when making a mistake at work to peoples shock and amusment.

      cryptography (not the cryptocurrency-kind)

      This may be pedantic, but that is the cryptocurrency kind. The “crypto” in “cryptocurrency” literally comes from the term “cryptography”. It is currency that is secured by cryptographic functions.

      • Passerby6497@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Cryptocurrency is cryptography, but cryptography isn’t cryptocurrency.

        There’s a good reason to note that a term that most uninformed people might assume is unrelated to a shitty thing people hate. There’s a reason a lot of shit we used to call AI has to be clarified as non-llm because the llms have become the initial connotation to AI.

      • VibeSurgeon@piefed.social ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I’m well aware.

        Most cryptocurrency pushers are less interested in the underlying cryptographic fundamentals, however.

        Cryptography is undeniably cool. Cryptocurrency is undeniably not cool.

        Cryptocurrency uses cryptographics, the WEB uses cryptographics! Everone uses cryptographics.

      nonce did used to be an English word too meaning “of/at the moment” or “for one purpose” so Number used Once is actually a backronym

      It derived from Middle English was “tō þen naness” which is roughly “best item for a purpose” literally, but is used to mean “something” or “disposable/temporary” in context.

      I assume there is no written contract and if, would you be willing to sour the relationship?
      Definitely leaves a bad taste.

        Just because there was nothing in writing does not mean there was no contract, it just makes it harder to sue.

    Why would the “North American Marlon Brando Look-Alikes” want these wristbands?

  • Wispy2891@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    If it’s hundreds of bracelets then a 3d printer is not the right technique for this. With pad printing those would have costed 1/10th less in materials (the cheapest rubber bands from Alibaba) and be done in 1/100th of the time (5 seconds for each one instead of 1 or 2 hours each)

    source
    • Hoimo@ani.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It says “printed”, could be any printing technique. Is there something in the picture that points to 3D printer?

      • Wispy2891@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        1. It’s raised and on some black letters you can see there are lines on the surface with a different light reflection like the nozzle does on TPU.

        2. it’s printed on colors that are typically available on TPU (it’s not like pla that comes in every conceivable color)

        3. It has a weird drop shape when closed, like if it was designed to be printed flat

        4. He says “weeks to make them” when showing a dozen. With a week of production in pad printing you can do millions of units.

        5. With pad printing he could have used the traditional round rubber bands

    This is at least the second time American crypto bros have used that word to name something and regretted it lmao.
