Interesting, I don't understand how this should be worrisome - the receiver has to know what kind of transaction he is engaged in. Sending BTC which is not redeemable is the same as sending no money at all. It is exactly analogous to s

Anyone interested should study the script system and Namecoin. "Restricting transactions to such a simple form would restrict Bitcoin to exactly the possibilities traditional currencies had (though decentralized). However, Satoshi saw

I strongly believe you vastly underestimate the power that lies in this system. Scripts are in fact one of the most exciting features, although some things have to be figured out yet. How are transactions not "first-class citizens&quot

This is impossible. The network can never put a limit to its own value. The valuation must come from outside. How should a network possible describe what its worth? The money network should not predict demand. One could in theory have predi

I very much like this line of reasoning, because its only this comparison which points to the magnitude of the potential impact. We don't have even HTTP style protocols used yet, and very little understanding. I have 5 new ideas everyd

If you have serious money to transfer into BTC, this is not the way to go. Coinbase essentially is an intermediary, not a wallet. The whole point of Bitcoin is to get of intermediaries as are inefficient and make profits along the way. Bitc

Fascinating. Hofstadter should read Russell some time. Perhaps then he might understand just a little bit of logic. I would start with Russell's denoting phrases from 1905. Or Frege's concept script from 1879. Everyone likes to ta

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I was referring to the fact that the core Bitcoin dev, basically the guy in charge of the network, joined the board of one company in Silicon Valley. If I have a competing business, what do you t

The major news here is that Bitcoin is corrupting itself by affiliating with major corporate interest. Silicon Valley thinks they own Bitcoin - they will be proven wrong. a fork is becoming more and more likely. Gavin is not treating his re

here is my manifesto: react to everything and you're slave. create reactions and you're ruler. balance action and reaction and you're a master.

Well, I've studied under a pupil of Grothendieck, so, yes inaccessible cardinals are at the heart of his category theory. When you study this long enough, you will discover they essentially perform the function of what in computer sci

Thanks for that link. I very much agree. Meteor is going to be massive.

I'll side with Poincaré and there is not much to say other than that. "The objections to Cantor's work were occasionally fierce: Poincaré referred to his ideas as a "grave disease" infecting the discipline of mathem

puppet isn't how things are supposed to be. for starters the initial learning curve is steep. salt is more powerful and easier to get started.

Very unlikely. Much more likely explanation is that Satoshi was influenced by him and uses similar terms. AFAIK Szabo is a lawyer / historian.

I took the web dev course by the founder of Hipmunk and it was absolutely great! This was going from "best thing ever" to "lousy idea" in light speed. That is the downside of big ideas if they haven't been validated

Wonder how rich these guys are now. The exchange will not survive, because it is horribly architected.

No, it is my impression that 99.999% seem to believe the same. No upvotes on HN, and only dirty jokes about it (how original). Quite amazing given that this is one the major changes of the internet's naming infrastructure. Think about

I think I disagree. .com is mostly a historic artefact. how about my.startup?

No - if pizza is owned by one TLD registrar www.pizza and great.pizza would be two separate subdomains under that TLD. I'm not sure there are limitations to the subdomain under the TLD (to prevent collision with www). Someone can regis

good points. In terms of the semantics: in the end it's up to people using it. I'm more worried about profiteering than confusion. But it's for the market to figure it out. I don't think the traffic is significant. cachi
