Interesting that you pick that, it would be more meaningful if TLS/SSL was not vulnerable to man in the middle and certificate spoofing (respectively). The security is useful, but is it sufficient? Sure searching for hash collisions pr

Honestly, I have yet to see a "meta-coin" that seemed viable. While ideas like creating virtual stocks and property ownership in a block chain are cool they all hinge on actually trusting the person backing those currencies/c

Namecoin is a good start, but it has scaling issues. We can use it as a authentication back-end for something a bit more scalable.

Verification and validation. Bitcoin gives us a way to change and extend the trusted third party system Cryptography has been built on since the 80s. Those schemes worked great in theory, but it turns out there are no trusted third parties

We are based in Atlanta, which would make things interesting. I'll talk to my co-founders.

I think the point here is more that perceived hostility is not about intent. Perception is reality when you are not there in the user experience to give more information about your intent. Another good argument here is that gendered languag

I've read the paper. The title is alarmist. "selfish" mining seems to work, pools should implement it as fast as possible. When a majority of them do, the problem cancels out. The given solution suggest propagating all chains

About time. The fact this can be done with "relative" safety needs to be publicized. It wont get safer or smaller until people make statements that there is a demand for such technology. And as to all the people going on about how

Sometimes I wonder if I still count as a developer because I don't do web tech.

Aha! My only use of firebase was writing a chat application for fun back at their launch marketing push. This is good to see, and I think I might go play with it more.

well, you are exposing the database at the javascript level. If it is javascript then you can mess with it in your browser via the developer console. So if you are using firebase via javascript your application is fundamentally insecure. Yo

Yup. You can set your score to a string and it just puts the latest as highest. You can also manually rename yourself. Are all firebase apps this vulnerable? edit* I left a message in the high score box for anybody looking for something pro

If they are going to pull their 32 million, then I think we are in for some reposts and re-hitting the front page.

And that is my fault. I left out a letter. Now that you have displayed interest and I feel less awkward about directly approaching you I just went ahead and emailed you. Thanks!

I've been working on a similar project for about a year now. Interested in exchanging notes? We are basing ours on a Chord DHT for better robustness. benshoof@cs.gsu.edu

You are right, that there is no "winning" only fighting to stay in the game. A few years ago I was researching diseases that could be causing my type of pain. Neuropathy was something I knew I did not have, but reading about it gave me a bi

My pain is not linked to anything except stress and barometric pressure. I have been diagnosed chronic migraines (a diagnosis I do not really agree with) and chronic sinusitis. When I was 16 a classmate with whom I had a disagreement with s

I know I am addicted to programming. I have rather nasty chronic pain, and I have found programming to be one of the best coping mechanisms so far. The whole "spacing in"/hyper-focus/computer-zen-trance thing results in me not noticing the
