That is ideal but not especially easy. Hashing as they are doing it requires several factors: what you need to compute is not handed out by a central authority, it is hard to compute, and is easily provable once computed. folding@home and o

I was actually playing around with this idea. You think it would get used? I'm also slightly torn on whether each upvote should just be equivalent to like $.01 in doge or let people tip whatever they want. I have a good idea of how to

There was this response by one of the devs: http://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1vh94e/dagger_upda... They seem to be moving away from Dagger: "We will switch our PoW from Dagger to a hybrid P

The real network goes live in a few months. The test network is either already up or should be soon.

There's been further discussion of Dagger. http://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1vh94e/dagger_upda... Not just in this link but in another that I cannot find, the devs seem to be leaning toward

I think this article is on to something really important. It is way too easy currently to get caught up in the frenzy over the specuation surrounding Bitcoin. This idea of the Bitcoin protocol as a decentralized, secure, and transparent sto

Geeks are excited about it because of that. Others either aren't aware of it or would rather play games on the Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, iPad, etc they already have. The PS1 was successful because it was put out in large numbers by Sony, not beca

I believe the game either has to be free to play or have a free demo. So that requirement is easily fulfilled.

Strange. I've had users sign-up, I've had someone say it works on the Google DNS, but you aren't the first with DNS errors. I'm hosting it on gandi's DNS, I wonder what I'm not doing right.

That's another issue I see with the project. Since these are recurring donations, you can never really count on them. I suppose you can't "count" on keeping a job either, but if you are expecting $60,000 a year to keep your lifestyle up an

I believe you when you and others say they don't expect specific results and no-strings attached, I just feel like it is human nature that when we give something of value, particularly money, we expect something in return. That's because mo

by aaron-lebo 14y ago
Notice that you conflate developer and project as well. You want to support "a particular developer", but you expect commitment to "the project". So is the donation with regards to the developer or a particular project? The developer doesn'

Do you mind explaining why it is a mess? I'm not doubting what you are saying is true, it is just that recently I used a Clojure library to connect to Facebook, Google, and github, and the code to do so is simple and more or less the same f

Thanks for your comment. I'm not shocked if I stated some inaccurate things; I'm still very new to the language, and how and even why some things work the way they do is not obvious to me. So the #() syntax is a reader macro I'm assuming? T

I've run across pubsubhubhub before (geez that's hard to write), and it seems like a really useful implementation. What I wasn't sure of is when he mentions polling is that instead of pshh or would that work with it?

by aaron-lebo 14y ago
Interesting. So does anyone have any suggestions, technical or otherwise, other than "twitter posts don't have titles" that he does it this way?
1793.
by aaron-lebo 14y ago
Was confused myself as to why he doesn't do this. He mentions not having titles being an issue in Google Reader, but the same issue is apparent if you try to add the rss feed of his linkblog in Firefox; you just get a bunch of links with no

It doesn't seem like Dave is advocating wrapping this up into something friendlier to end users. However, you certainly could have something powerful if you did. I agree that expecting people to muck around with DNS and even RSS wouldn't ga
