I've been searching for the perfect word that encapsulates everything we do in the blockchain space and I guess "cryptoeconomics" is really the best fit. It talks about crypto but it also alludes to the motivations of partici

I never really got the appeal of Litecoin. It was basically just a copy and paste of Bitcoin with only minor alterations made to the source code (like changing the PoW for Script which never really defeated ASICs and a few other small chang

That's one thing that has always bothered me about grave yards: how little the people end up leaving behind. An entire life gets reduced to a few meaningless facts about a person that don't really tell us anything about who they w

Oh boy, this one brings me back. I can't tell you how many times I read this guide back in the day. Beej was the bomb when it came to network programming. Another great resource for network programming is http://www.madwizar

History lesson number one: the word "blockchain" isn't a pronoun. Seriously, if you don't even know that it tells me you joined the blockchain bandwagon some time in 2015 or later which is when journalists who also didn&

You also find the same problem on link sharing services (like this one) in that they're extremely easy to game. I have yet to see a paper that proposes a good solution for that kind of thing.

Something like it. Whether or not Docker will work best for this I have no idea.

Something I thought about is because you're representing vulnerability disclosures on the blockchain you can cryptographically prove when bugs were first brought up and when they were fixed. So re: forcing the vendor to patch software.

by Uptrenda 10y ago
That's true. The problem would be if you get attackers who have exploits to break out of virtual machines. What I can say in those regards is you might be able to design that out by creating a DSL for specific kinds of exploits and the

True. What I can imagine is that when the smart contract is being setup the vendor chooses a list of templates for the platforms / environments used to setup the virtual machines. If they're running their own software on their own

I'm currently working on something similar. It's a blockchain for verifiable exploits against open source software. The idea is that you can represent bug bounties as a series of smart contracts and have exploits run deterministic

This article is confusing and contradicting in so many ways. To start with, I was expecting some kind of trustless self-contained system whereby everything can be independently verified and concretely recorded in an autonomous system simila

A while ago I wrote about how AI might be trained on a data set and then used to form the basis of an alternative cryptocurrency for data mining. I.E. maybe you train the AI to recognize images of mountains and then use that as your proof-o

I like this. Very low tech way to solve the problem and at least raises the cost to an attacker.

I wouldn't recommend this. There are neural networks that can unblur many different algorithms with surprising accuracy.

I have a feeling this is the kind of guy who tells everyone to rewrite a million lines of production code in Go because its "more scalable." Not trying to be cynical but it does strike me as strange that a company would fire someo

Do you think a startup could legally implement this idea by acting as the trusted third-party to hold the photographs? Maybe the person uploading the photos could agree to a legal contract beforehand stating that the website can publish the

I think the biggest problem is photoshop. I can't imagine many people wanting that to happen to them.
