Samsung Evo drives have a built in hardware error, where the read speeds diminish with age. The firmware hides the read-speed decrease, or prolongs the detection of it, by shuffling data around in the background. Poor choice of SSDs, Id go

'abort' as word is more offensive/triggering than the joke.

Hey HackerNews I remember back in 2009, 2010, Facebook was the cool still startup, still no IPO, tech company. Revolution. The social network. Social everything. There was people like me, even in 2007, warning about this. We said, how Obama

That is so, which is why I see Russia no more evil than USA. In fact, less so, given the historial record. Funding revolutions, killing 100 000 civilians in another country on other side of the planet from them, was not on Russias list of d

Yes I did get the memo. This is 2018, now Russia takes the place of "axis of evil" Iraq and Taleban. A greater axis of evil. Much feared bear.

I created an app back in 2009, to grant myself access and look around. Saw too much information about friends, realized some friends began "using" my app, just because it was made by me. Realized all the quizzes and dumb polls are

That is the point indeed. Google and Facebook, will stab you in the back without blinking, to them you area nothing but a number, and sell out your data faster than your friend will. Even further, Google and Facebook, will drown you in ads

Change is upon us, join patchwork at secure scuttlebutt. The social network is the network, no central services, federation or global anything.

We have gittorrent already. Much better alternatives than bittorrent, from privacy and censorship-resistence aspect is, git-ssb which is git on secue scuttlebot aka SSB. Bittorrent can be censored, the DHT can/is monitored and can be e

You are not protected when the bank robs you. Accounts frozen, inflation, using your money for dubious corruption and money laundering schemes - see Nordea.

The only good scaling/high throughput consensus algorithm is Byteball. The block-chain does not scale, DAG coins suffer form various issues, the only DAG-coin with semi-trustless distributed "consensus" is Byteball. The imple

Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency, and not all cryptocurrencies are based on a blockchain data-structure. There are other currencies which are not-inflationary, trustless and decentralized, and many more currencies with various levels

Byteball is not PoW or PoS, but has no energy waste for consensus.

Still vaporware.

Even with Byteball the witnesses cant steal funds or generate new ones without the other full nodes noticing and rejecting the same way as other bitcoin full nodes can reject if a miner generates a 10000 coinbase reward to itself.

Byteball is such a cryptocurrency. There is no Proof-of-Work, or Proof-of-Stake.

by antocv 9y ago
You would be interested in Byteball. See https://byteball.org/ Secure distributed ledger, without PoW, without PoS. The bad side? Not 100% trust-less like blockchains, instead (number chosen by no real reason) only has to

Gavin, a bitcoin developer, Satoshi Nakamoto himself gave commit access rights to Gavin. They have not been ignoring this issue, they have been firing salvos and censorship left and right. Fighting the original bitcoin with all they had.

There is 2 bitcoins now. Bitcoin Core with feature of segregated witness (segwit). And Bitcoin Cash with increased block size limit.

Can you mention some of the salvos fired by your side?

The other genius part was doing this today, when the small-blockers and segwit proponents already had marketed this day for their supposed "USAF" - the anti-miner consensus-by-amount-of-nodes change. Had this fork been done months

by antocv 9y ago
Yes. You get free segwit bitcoins. The bitcoin cash resembles the original bitcoin as described in whitepaper the most. If you sell your bitcoin segwit today for bitcoin cash at an exchange, the rates are around 0.08-0.12, it is like inflat
