My `daily` backup is actually nightly, at 2AM which happens to coincide nicely with when my ISP's network is quiet enough that my upload is higher (still a paltry 4mbit). Amusingly, for the initial backup of my my home desktops I actua

What's more confusing for a beginner/my mom, telling them to enter their gmail and password or having them log into AWS, create a new bucket, selecting the appropriate region, copy that super long unreadable ID and key, and take i

For most people S3/Glacier hybrid zones are probably still cheaper. But gDrive is definitely more "noob" (or your mom and dad) friendly than AWS. Anything under 1TB is less expensive.

How is namecoin any different? Its a pay to play system too. Decentralized CA's are nice and all but what happens when a state actor gains more than 50% of the hash power and can then make their own certs at will? DNSChain is also no

That's because Google is a intermediary CA[1], pretty much all large institutions that use certificates for authentication are. For example, a good number universities use internet2 as a backbone and issue themselves certs under an umb

Are you really arguing that a pitiful increase of 20K over a year, in a system where every single change in any holdings causes a transaction to occur, is significant for this system? I shudder to think of the reality distortion field you l

No, I didn't fail at reading anything. The increase is both within the noise of the data and insignificant. 20K transactions is nothing, hell given the number of BTC that are "washed" through pools, one person could easily ac

I feel like merchant adoption is being done for the sake of "looking cool" not because they really care or their users really want it. Actual adoption of bitcoin by consumers has remained relatively flat
