This is at least the second time American crypto bros have used that word to name something and regretted it lmao.
The last one was a company called nonce finance https://www.ft.com/content/43b00d73-8a76-494a-8b5f-87dcab406ea5

Paywalled, doesn't even allow to view a word but the title.
Haha I hope nobody tells them what it means until it’s too late 😂
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.
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.
As someone from the UK who works in software engineering, the combination of meanings is always hilarious
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.
We need to bring it to our own lexicon. It packs a punch. 😂
thank you i had to look up the british slang now, as I could only think of the cryptographic association
See, I never knew that. I wondered what kind of weird convention this is. 😂
Nonce means something different to us folks in tech.
Still should've gotten paid up front by a crypto-bro
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.
Best I can do is a handful of dogecoin.
"No but look bro! I'll give you a bit of Dogecoin, and if you wait bro, they're going to be worth millions in no time bro! Trust me bro, I'm giving you much more than just money bro, it's the future bro!"
Seriously just reach in this jar and grab a big old handful of doge as many as you can carry they're yours.
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."
Keep Your Cash In Cash and Your Money In Money
This is why the family rate is an added 25%
50% if they offer to help.
Nah, you give them the fuck off estimate.
and could only afford to pay me if
Me, a business genius: "I'm getting in on the ground floor!"
Also me, "There's not a lot of money on this floor. Seems they've been keeping that shit up at the top."
Politely but firmly tell them to pay up before you choke them to death.
On one level, it’s an epic cockup. On another, it’s a revelation of a deeper, more poetic truth.
~~Mildly~~ infuriating
Fitting for reddit.
