Curious then that this safety regulation should apply only to browsers on iOS and not every other type of app distributed.

Cryptocurrencies are not like other forms of money. They don't have intrinsic value. Cryptocurrencies are only valuable insofar as they are well distributed. What did the banks win? The nerds of the world sold them fool's gold.

Bitcoin isn't a particularly well-designed cryptocurrency, even in terms of security. You could use pretty much any blockchain for the timestamp application.

This is the same attitude I have. There's no regret in not predicting the powerball numbers. When you consider the actual price you would have bought in and the actual price you would have liquidated, those theoretical 10x-100x gains s

There are cryptocurrencies like dogecoin and monero that have an infinite supply and a constant production of new coins, and they still see use. So I'm not certain that scarcity is the only motivating factor. In fact, I would think tha

Any nation that implements a carbon tax will be at an competitive disadvantage, since you're compensating to reduce a global externality. It's a tragedy of the commons.

cities are made of concrete and steel, both of which emit carbon in their production. nearly everything from pharmaceuticals to clothes to computers is made with petrochemicals. It's not just a matter of civil design, and we don't

Oh wow, that is a competitive rate vs fastmail!

Fastmail. They are cheap enough, and featureful. They allow you to use your own domain, and support IMAP and calendars. I would like to say protonmail, which is cheaper and has a more secure email setup (which involves encrypting incoming e

If there were no laws, then there would be no evolutionary pressure to pacify the ghenghis khans of the world. And it's not so much the rules on paper, but the organization of power that enforces the rules. It's not weird it'

I disagree. While it's true that early cryptocurrencies were based on well established cryptography, a lot of the modern (post 2017-ish) cryptocurrency tech involves cutting-edge cryptography. Especially with respect to post-quantum se

Think bigger. Very little risk if the NSA knows your MyNoise history, very great risk if the government knows all of your history. SSL added and removed here :)

Physical systems are different from information systems. You can make an impenetrable information system, but not an impenetrable physical system. Physical systems are inherently safe due to their locality, and can benefit from security-by-

I have read about drivechain and all of sztorc's half-baked ideas extensively. Sidechains are inferior to altcoins in all respects. The numbers you have included are just arbitrary prices you are guessing. The price of bitcoin fees is

the person in somalia likely has a different cost/effectiveness preference vs the american, which is expressed through the lack of regulation.

Usually I would consider such a large truck to be wasteful, but because it's electric you aren't really burning up a ton of extra fuel.

Yes, but there will be far greater total demand for transactions because the costs will no longer be prohibitive to certain types of commerce (which has network effects). Drivechain is an idiotic proposal to just give total control of the n

The problem isn't pools but manufacturers. Competitive ASIC miners are manufactured by only a few companies. It's not inconceivable that they could use TC to lock them to specific pools or simply refuse to sell ASICs to the genera
