You raise an interesting aspect of the issue which I had not yet considered.
It actually makes @Darthcoins stance even worse.
When someone with an attached wallet zaps someone who does not have an attached wallet what happens?
The sats are converted into CC shitcoins.
As @DarthCoin has pointed out, the only way for these CCs to be converted back into sats is for the holder to sell them to someone for sats, which @DarthCoin offers to do as he claims to have a stack of them he has arsemilked.
CCs are shitcoins. The SNs operators can create as many of them as they like at zero cost while pocketing the sats that were zapped to the recipient of the sats.
So actually the point you have raised makes @DarthCoins stance even worse as he is supporting the greater issuance of CC shitcoins within the ecosystem and supporting that greater issuance by offering to sell CCs for sats.
BTW in this dialogue I have not engaged in ad hominen arguments but focused on the issue which is his hypocrisy in claiming to be a Maxi living on the BTC standard when in reality he refuses to engage BTC wallets here on SNs. Any criticisms I have made of @DarthCoin have been to emphasise and highlight the argument, not to escape or divert from it as an ad hominen argument seeks to do.
To call him an arsemilking hypocrit in this context is not an ad hominen argument...it is to emphasise the point being made by my argument.
In fact the hominen attacks have been from @DarthCoin on me because he has largely refused to engage on the facts and issues raised and almost entirely attacked me with ad hominen diversionary nonsense..
Isn't there some chance the issue is not black-and-white?
I've not studied the new SN wallet mechanics in any great detail, although it does appear from looking at my own satistics page that CCs and sats get converted 1:1 by the new accounting mechanism, as necessary and invisibly unless you actually read the diagram for each zap. So while sats zapped to someone like Darth might temporarily be "trapped" in the site as CCs, as he keeps on commenting and zapping, they gradually get turned back into withdrawable sats as they accumulate in the accounts of people who want withdrawable sats.
All that aside, I'm not going to try outright dissuading you from your crusade, although I do wish you could include some more general educational links[1] in your comments, rather than only the ad hominem against Darth. This way, although you might not ever fully accomplish your main goal, there will still be a chance that people reading along for amusement might find useful and educational links and understand the site better.
I don't quite recommend the ones in the site footer, as they have drifted a little out of date by now; the two recent discussions that jumped out from a skim of ~meta were the announcement and this followup discusison. ↩
