I sort of doubt that, you would want to use the mining equipment as soon as you get it because more efficient equipment would/could come out between now and then making your profits a lot less or even your equipment obsolete

maybe not in software, but in hardware they certainly have a lot of reach

If we look at this purely from a 'what is the best option to attempt to ensure the continuation of the human race?', then we should be attempting to do this asap. Having 100% of humans exist on earth leaves us very vulnerable and

apart from saying that bitcoin isn't a security, no. Just yesterday this infuriatingly vague video came out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YtZJRUak8E But they refused to actually say if any specific coin was/was

Goes into oblivion. How would you send funds to a newly created address if that wasn't the case? The bitcoin network doesnt know which addresses are ready to be used on the network and which aren't since there isn't any setup

Yes but its still in beta on the mainnet so its not ready for daily use yet. You can see all the nodes here https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/

a lot of exchanges don't support USD conversion due to increased hassle of dealing with the dollar/us gov regulations. its easier to be a crypto only exchange than a crypto/fiat exchange

Some data to back up differing MCAT score acceptance rates by race https://www.aamc.org/data/facts/applicantmatriculant/157998/...

by cdiddy2 9y ago
That doesn't mean that having quotas for different races is the right way to solve that though
224.
by cdiddy2 9y ago
Good, there shouldn't be any systemic race based acceptance criteria. It only increases racism and skepticism. Imagine you have a Hispanic doctor, but you know that the MCAT score for a Hispanic to get into med school is lower than the

The only coin really trying to tackle this governance problem is Cardano in my opinion. Charles Hoskinson does a great job explaining their goals with this. https://youtu.be/Ja9D0kpksxw?t=33m39s https://youtu.be&

as far as I know Bosch is a private company. A lot less for them to gain from PRs with 'blockchain' in them. From the AMA Bosch did[1] it certainly seems like its more than just a blockchain PR and that they are actually putting r

partially its the 4x increase in transaction throughput, but also a lot less people use litecoin than bitcoin

also, if you dont like te way bitcoin is being run then just fork it, bitcoin cash did just that because groups couldnt agree on if they wanted small blocks or large blocks.

"relatively-transparent Federal Reserve" - thats crap. All bitcoin are open to see and track and all the code is open source and you can start mining if you want to, albeit at a loss. The federal reserve is the opposite of transpa

Its hard to see the value of bitcoin from the point of view of a decently well off westerner which most of us are here. We have access to currencies that are relatively stable even with inflation and access to banking which allows us to sto
