what was the new name? PedoCon? look i can't feel too sorry for this guy, why would you produce these things in the first place without giving SOME pushback over the name "NonceFest" what the fuck does that even have to DO with crypto

omg thank you. they used a U in "colours" so I take it they're Canadian because this wouldn't have happened with Brits haha

oh my god i have in fact heard of this term i was assuming "crypto convention" meant crypto*currency,* not cryptographic *security* (i mean...they're technically related fields, i'm aware, but one brings to mind a very different sort of people than the other)

i actually have a book called "Crypto" which is about the history of cryptographic security; it was published easily decades before i'd ever heard the word "blockchain" fascinating read; i ought to go over it again the phrase "THE MAGIC WORDS ARE SQUEAMISH OSSIFRAGE" is burned into my memory

i mean there's absolutely an overlap between crypto bros and the kinds of people who will snap "it's EPHEBOPHILIA, you dullard!" at you but still i have almost a morbid curiosity as to what string of misunderstandings led to this guy deciding "nonce" was a laudatory term for a crypto bro
