Bitcoin solved the problem of double spending in a distributed system. Cryptocurrencies without this specific feature have been around. Your paper avoids this issue: "In order to prevent multiple spending in off-line payments, we need

Personally, I don't believe in Bitcoin either, but one thing I was considering is that Bitcoin is usable as long as its value isn't 0 (though it might be incredibly difficult to use with fluctuations). So the question is will it c

Your ideas are interesting, I like that you kept your sales pitches 100% personal (rather than marketingish or professional) and that you business proposition really does focus on helping the customer, rather than tricking them into getting

You are right and here's why: Brainwallet inputs -> public keys are deterministic. It's true that the method of creating the key pair is as much of a password as the password, it's easy to select the most common methods (s

Doesn't that show your Bias? If you are a miner you have huge amounts of money invested in sha-256 specific ASICs. Perhaps ten of thousands of dollars worth. Also by inflating the value of btc you hope to gain more money per liquidatio

I'm not sure about shelve, but histedit, rebase, and mq are all history modifying extensions. Mercurial differs from git in that it prefers immutable history. The extensions are there if you really need them, not as something you shoul

I'm not sure which map you're looking at. Irwindale is located in LA county, one of the most populated areas of the US. Obviously if the smell didn't go very far it wouldn't be much of a problem.

Explicit is better than implicit. I think you think for is magical and could be modified like this, but really for just iterates over something. It's enumerate and items that are the magic. Enumerate zips a range onto a list, the ``ind

I agree that Bitcoin banks would need insurance to be successful. As it is, it's pretty much just giving them to a anonymous stranger over the internet.

Well you're making the assumption that people can protect their wallets better than a bank. I hope I'm not making a crazy statement to say that people in general aren't that great at security. Unless you have the wisdom to ke

There's a lot of luck, and a lot of factors beyond your control that is true. But it's based on Market Forces which drives value rather than 100% random (or corrupt) forces. However to say people should be payed based on the perce

Workers are paid based on supply/demand of the value they can provide. If they were legally required to be paid based on their output, some people would make 10x as much as others for the same amount of time and education. It would bas
