How are those inside Greece supposed to get their hands on Bitcoin in order to start this process? Seems to require that someone is willing to pay Bitcoin in exchange for olives or cheese, or tuition, or surgery, or whatever you have to of

Hi, I work on Weave; it may well have been one of my commits that broke the protocol compatibility for you. We've changed things over time to improve performance and resilience. It should be fairly straightforward to deploy the same ve

The bank as a whole has thousands or millions of counterparties.

Weave Network works great on AWS, GCE, Azure, your laptop, ... Pretty much anywhere you can run a (privileged) container, you can run Weave. Here's some use-cases for each (and in one case both!): http://weaveblog.com/

Am I confusing something? That looks like Linux guest support on a Windows Server host, which is rather different to the Windows Container topic of this thread.

You may also like to look at Weave[1], which includes an open-source network for Docker and DNS service to find other containers. [1]: http://weave.works/ Note: I work on Weave.

Could we say it a bit stronger than that? Opening and closing connections from the same source to the same service is wasteful since you need multiple extra round-trips and it resets all the TCP dynamic tuning like CWND. I thought your tal

I think you mis-understand how banks work. There is no bank that will lend money speculatively to fund a new product. If you have collateral, they will lend against that, but that means they aren't taking a risk on the product. A bank

Docker doesn't wrap LXC any more; they re-implemented that stuff in libcontainer. Well, the code to call LXC is in there somewhere as a backwards-compatibility option, but you won't be using it unless you really try.
