   I don't dream in words. If tell someone about a conversation I had in my dreams, I have to "translate" my dream into English.

   Why is that a problem more than any other? "network partitioning risk" is an aspect of many issues, such as the Sybil attack. Just because the Sybil attack exists in the Bitcoin ecosystem doesn't mean it's a game stoppe

   I know nothing about "feminine products". If you are referring to "maxis", it obviously means "Bitcoin maximalists." A google search of "maxis" over a vpn returns "Maxis is an American video game

   I am unaware of any limit on transaction size in relation to staking.

   Any why is this not a trivial problem to solve? Mind you, Bitcoin had the same issues and they solved it with hard coded checkpoints. There's no reason this can't be solved with timestamps and some sort of checkpoint mechanism. M

   Nothing at stake is never truly nothing at stake, but I've always considered "nothing at stake" not really a problem that's unfixable.

   A billion in dollar value? There's only about 110 million eth.

    The total entropy of all the stars, 10^82, is 2^270 I love this, because the useful 256 bit string (2^256) is only 43 characters long in base64, and to get to 2^270, it is only 45 base64 characters. I was just playing with this on Thursday,

    Doesn't that just drive you nuts? Cabbages just sneak up on you like that. I've had plenty of genuinely unique questions marked as "duplicate".

    I had no intention of bring up "blockchain", only that cryptographic hashes must play an important part of any archival scheme intended to last generations. Otherwise you must trust that an archiver hasn't changed history. W

    Isn't the obvious missing technical component cryptographic hashes? A hash can represent any resource. IPFS, or something like it, is the missing component for long term retrieval. EDIT: or something like https://github.com&

    The first comment from 11 months ago is wrong. >JWTs are useful, but there are a few things that are not immediately obvious. >1) They are signed not encrypted. This is not true. JWT's can be encrypted, signed, or both (nested).

    JOSE and COSE fill a void not filled by anything else on the market. Sure, Branca may compare to just a JWT, but it doesn't compare to a JWS let alone JOSE. If all you need is stateless auth tokens, use Branca or a good JWT library. IM

    The minimum stake of 32 eth is probably going to require something like a laptop to run. Those with larger stakes are going to need to devote more computer resources to the network.

    Afraid of a little competition? This is the paradox of the bitcoin maximalist: The 'free market' is good but don't try to compete with my 'one true asset'! I heard about Bitcoin in 2010 a few days before MagicalTux

    "Cryptographic obfuscation" Wouldn't this be a subcategory of homomorphic encryption?

    There's no date on this, or other contextual information. Wayback machine seems to suggest this is newly published. This seems to reuse a lot of material from the "Internet Citizen Bill of Rights" started sometime around Jan

    This article is silly. I honestly think a minor tweaked version of JSON will be the future for config files. Probably JSON5 which adds trailing commas and comments.

    I 100% disagree. I rave about JSON. I don't understand the rants with config files, but I could bet $20 that they _always_ begin with "but my comments!". In the past I've promptly replied with (copied from my Reddit pos

    I read that and I don't see an alternative presented, just criticism.
