The difficulty is according to the amount of miners, right? So it's supposed to not matter if China shuts down their pools. And local police? Complete speculation, my friend.

I think I get it. So 1) the computing power happens on hardware in China, but then 2) the message can, if need be, relay the message of, say, a new mined block to non-internet points that are able to escape The Great Firewall, then 3) outsi

Isn't calculateHash() creating a hash from the whole block, not just the data part of it? If not, how should that function calculate the hash so that it satisfies what it needs to to be a real blockchain?

Yeah you should do it. What a great return! Those guys must be very nice.

I think the people behind a project mean a heck of a lot to the validity an integrity of the project. So if Zooko Wilcox et al are indeed respected in the P2P and security community, then I am interested in this.

Yes untrained but more broad to mean people who don't understand the magic, people who are negligent, etc. I kind of got it from Einstein's quote, "Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds."

Sim City subways did nothing. I heard it from one of the developers. That said, if it's people that need to move around, let's make fast moving sidewalks high above the city streets. Or tram type of technology like the zoo, but wi

Nowadays we know banks get criminal legislation in their favor. That's pretty criminal. Bitcoin doesn't get much legislation, which is a good thing.

To know if it is still worth anything, check out how much people are willing to give cash for it. At the time of this writing, it is well over $600 for 1 bitcoin, which was worth less than a buck a few years ago. Is it worth anything? You t

What was that about "a friar... who is trying to understand Bitcoin encryption... from the perspective of the Catholics"?

Huge point you make that it can be done by non-scientists now. Now we can all play with fire. That much power in idle hands controlled by mediocre minds is like everyone being magical.

According to that wiki article, it is a BAD thing. People express themselves and then are imprisoned for it. That's bad. Here's Ai Weiwei's interpretation of the phrase, that was a temporary installation in Alcatraz recently

Or: Alice wants to host a party, so she invites Bob, Betty, and Boris, by sending them a smart contract between all of them containing 3 Bitcoin and she will only sign if they show up. And then they all split the amount in the address.

As Satoshi's whitepaper harps on, and, in my opinion, the biggest difference between fiat and BTC is that BTC doesn't answer to a government. That may have a premium or a discount attached to it. But if that's not an attracti

So awesome. I just wrote a note down two days ago to make this. Beat me to it.

Kind of pigeon holed yourself, dont you think? Maybe add a tariff to purchases w/ other currencies or the like, but outright only accept bitcoin? That is badass tho.

I am happy to join you in that. My main goal is to understand what the "mathematical puzzles" are when mining. It looks more like a guessing game to me.
