It just occurred to me that I could quit my job and lie around reading books all day and pretty much be in the same place as Bill Gates.

Battery life keeps me from buying a successor to my pebble. The Samsung Gear watches are alluring except for daily charging.

I'm be curious, but it seems broken in mobile. The Brave Android browser isn't recognized.

Yes, I went through that process and it was pretty painless. I recommend going the extra step and getting a secure wallet to store them in. Ledger ( https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-s ) has an app for St

Is that an analogy for stock trading or cryptocurrency trading?

Will evidence only be acceptable from devices that cryptographically sign their content close to the CCD (or whatever technology turns analog to digital)?

Easy peasy! Seriously, I've been skeptical of LN's success for its complexity. But reading your and others' comments here I can see that many people understand it clearly. It turns out I've been biased by my own ignoranc

I'm surprised Amazon isn't behind this; I assumed this was their warehouse fulfillment algorithm applied to supermarket retail, for everyone to witness firsthand.

Absolutely. If the algorithm were perfect, shelves would be empty moments before the restock arrives. But I wonder how the endless bounty effect of fully stocked shelve affects customers' shopping habits. For example, I might not buy t

Amen. Because it would be terrifying to admit that very few of the people who inform the world actually know what they're talking about.

I'm disappointed that Detroit isn't on the list. My money is on Nashville or Denver. Hm... I wonder if how hard it would be to set up a decentralized blockchain pool to wager on the winner...

That's a great question, as are many others around taxing cryptocurrency transactions. A quick googling indicates that, in the US, gambling with anything of value constitutes gambling. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode

> There is no claim on productive enterprise involved That's not true. Many coins offer practical solutions to real world problems. Whether they are adopted at scale is the gamble. Very similar to betting on companies with stock.

It's frustrating, and a bit strange, that there's no (easy to find) video of it in flight.

I like this site very much. As a hoarder, it's a pleasure to read the ideas that others have had, and abandoned. It makes me want to finally let go of some of my domains, so that they may be memorialized.

I could imagine that if I made a lot of money with this software and subscribed to FOSS philosophy, I would feel good about setting it free.

Well, if you predict every possible outcome, you will be right at least once.

I wanted to make a small Bcoin transaction a couple weeks ago to test a wallet and the fee was over $20. That doesn't seem like a good fee compared to Visa. Is this something that could be fixed now with a block size increase?

Bitcoin has "died" hundreds of times. Here's an article discussing its doom when it dropped 50% (down to $108) back in 2013: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/06/bitcoin-sees-th...

You can use US dollars to wallpaper your bathroom, for example.

Coinomi supports a surprising number of coins, and I have used it as an intermediary. I'm not sure that I would use it for long-term storage without knowing more about the company. The Ledger Nano S supports "apps" that can p

I think you're being disingenuous. "bcash" has become a derogatory term and your use of it belies your bias. Do you also rail against Bitcoin Gold, BitcoinDark, Bitcoin Plus, eBitcoin, BitcoinZ, Bitcoin Red, Bitcoin Scrypt...
