How does that proof of coverage work exactly? https://docs.helium.com/blockchain/proof-of-coverage/ It has nowhere close to the density for this to work, and there's nothing to stop the Beaconer and Witness f

I'm not saying that the Helium idea of having this network of access points is bad. That's actually great, I wish there were such a thing. What doesn't work is their token. Instead of having that they could have used a whitel

Helium is a terrible use case for cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is for money, only for money, and not for any other purpose.

Yeah, the commie housing blocks were actually practical, unlike building something so tall.

Exactly. They totally suck, and the tokens don't add value. The "metaverse" in the context of crypto is bullshit and I believe it will ultimately be a market fail. Those promoting this crap are only interested in selling the

They are not, to my knowledge, being sought for arrest at this time, I don't see any reason why they have to make their physical locations known. Their lawyers are clearly available to be served documents.

Clandestine phone/computer break-ins are the new wiretaps, and I'm just fine with wiretapping by law enforcement with oversight, and with a cost significant enough to require targeted use. I'm not okay with ubiquitous surveil

I don't see any other practical way, and since the 0 day is rare it makes sense to choose to protect it rather than prosecute every crime revealed through its use or use it against too many targets. As long as they get warrants that&#x

That's kind of what's going on here already. If the company is able to resume withdrawals then everyone is going to withdraw and it's over. If the company is not able to do so then it's ultimately going to be liquidated,

Yes, true, there could have been some old hardware that was worth using at very high prices, and is now unprofitable so it's off. For certain there is some of that. Still, I'm surprised the drop isn't more pronounced... like

How could the hash rate remain high while consuming less power? The only way that can happen is more power efficient hardware has come online at scale without fanfare. If existing hardware had to be physically moved I would expect a far mor

Why does something like this need to have an account at all?

Maybe Kilcher can use this to train his next model to generate virtue signalling and grand standing.

As long as you aren't running a scam you have nothing to worry about. Most people don't care about crypto one way or the other, all the noise comes from a small group of boosters and haters.

Really? If I were living in the US and I pay a guy to pull the weeds in my garden it's "job fraud"? I'm not a lawyer, but that's not a crime in any country I've lived in. Which countries is that a crime in?

I'm not trying to advocate for some absolute freedom of action here. I'm saying it is, in my view, unreasonable that anyone who pays someone else a grand to do something suddenly has an obligation to report that to the government.
321.
by Canada 4y ago
I'm not suggesting it's necessary to pay any person you associate with. It just seems a really intrusive restriction to legally report on anyone you pay. To me, it seems as absurd as having to file a report with the government on

How much is that worth if you aren't legally allowed to give anyone any money?

by Canada 4y ago
How ridiculous is this? Do you really have a right to free association if you have to file a report if you pay someone $600 to do something for you?

The buyer of your labor could pay your health insurance directly, or reimburse you for it. For the purposes of anything official, you are unemployed. You would not get any retirement options. Your earnings would not be reported to the IRS.

Compression techniques have vastly improved improved since those days. Encoding requires fast processing to be done in realtime. I didn't check their math, but we sure weren't streaming audio with our 2400 or 9600 baud modems back

Without passing judgement on the merits of this one way or the other, I think anything that has a 10+ year deadline is virtually meaningless. It's not in the power of the government that passed this to see it through.

Can this be applied usefully to non-public datasets? Would it be feasible to add some other zero knowledge proof to this that would confirm a user has paid a subscription for access? For example, if this were a news site, the user would hav

Is it one document? Many documents? Does the article mention it? What about all of the pictures? Do you happen to have a link to the document in question, or a title I could use to search for it?
