>sama gets a lot of shit, but I have to admit at least he used to work on the UBI problem, orb and all.

The Orb was never ever ever meant to ever fix anything about UBI or even help it happen.

It was always about creating a hyped enough cryptocoin he could use as an ATM to fund himself and other things. That's what all these assholes got into crypto for, like, demonstrably. It was always about taking investment from fools who could not punish you for screwing them over, and then taking your bag and going home to play.

The orb was a sales and marketing gimmick. There's nothing it could do that couldn't be done by commodity fingerprint scanners.
