This is similar to what I went through over the last few months. I did land an offer, but it took over 70 applications. The only other time I had this much trouble was in 01 after the dotcom crash. I do think ageism plays a role. There was

I'm certainly not well educated in finance - but having had my business crushed by the events of 08/09, I started paying a lot more attention to economics than I had previously. From what I can gather, I think part of what is happ

There's this unfortunate mixing up of the technology, the community, and the bad actors within the community. Ultimately, more crime gets committed with USD than with cryptocurrencies, yet we don't blame the dollars for those crim

This is why Bitcoin is money. Bitcoin creates an incentive to participate in running the network. Mastodon does not have such an incentive. Mastodon server admins have to either pay out of pocket or come up with a scheme to charge users. Em

Hacker news is one of those places I love to visit because of the insightful and informative perspectives on issues of technology and culture... that is, until the topic has anything to do with Bitcoin.

Also worth considering: Proof of Transfer consensus mechanisms like Stacks allow entire networks to run in paralleled with Bitcoin by piggybacking on Bitcoin's consensus mechanism. That's a whole big pile of transactions happening

It's Orbiter 8, but we're not on any main nets yet. Still just on test nets. We did release a new demo of our work in Febuarary so if you just want to get the gist of it, it's on our website Orbiter8.com and easy to access wi
