I saw this at my last company. Even worse breaking it into microservices allowed teams of 2 or 3 to start building entire realms where only they could commit and used it for internal politics. I witnessed someone that wanted to leverage the

Why do you believe that?

Yeah the first version looks like something that many people would try to 'optimize' but in reality it is extremely readable and should be very easy to change/extend.

In practice there is a time limit. Nodes will not relay blocks that are too far from their current clock.

That fails for the case that you have an appointment at 3pm in 30 days, and 15 days later the timezone's offset changed.

Could you point to a PoW based cryptocurrency that isn't vulnerable to a 51% attack?

As the space matures I'd love to see a company that offers double spend insurance for a given tx. For example changes could wait for 10 minutes worth of blocks then request a quote for double spend insurance. The company evaluates the

You won't really be able to process tx that low, you'll need to pay a tx fee proprtionate to the number of bytes. 1 satoshi per byte is a good rule of thumb for a very cheap tx. It takes more than 1 byte to describe one satoshi, s

Yeah in the next couple years I'd expect to start seeing smaller PoW chains wither away due to attacks like this and exchanges starting to have prohibitively high conf times as they'll need to protect them selves from attacks like

As someone that follows the space partially because it's a really cool story, I am amped about all of the attacks these days! It looks like there weren't any protocol failures or anything that made the attack easier. It's a s

This is pretty offtopic, but the amount of time it takes to download the block isn't the only factor, amount of time to process & verify the block is pretty important as well as the storage costs etc. That's all pretty moot at

My response seems to have upset you. I'm sorry that happened. In general I believe that number of lines of code is correlated with number of bugs, but I would hesitate to say that it is proportional to. Going in with the explicit goal

Huh I didn't know that fraud through email could be considered wire fraud. I also didn't anticipate that abusing a rewards system could lead to a wire fraud case. I am sorry to hear about this case, but I don't quite get how

Good point. You'd likely want to also encode something that opaque to who exactly has participated, only really show whether this is the last step and a way for individuals to tell if they have already added their secret. The really ba

There is a lot of hate for the trusted party set up of this, which seems reasonable. It seems like you could create a dead man's switch using arbitrary participants. You distribute a secret to every participant and then to attempt to a
