If you make yourself vulnerable, a competitor can exploit it.

Political correctness is used to persecute and bully people. I'm surprised that many don't see it.

Great thoughts.

Bitcoin Cash scales far better than Litecoin.

So true. Premature generality is a big problem.

Bitcoin Cash can easily scale. There never was a "scaling problem." The only problem is "people that don't want Bitcoin to scale." https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoincash/comments/7gmn8t&

This is all fixed with Bitcoin Cash.

Be careful of linking to the whitepaper on the bitcoin.org site, they have contemplated changing it in the past. Best to link to the one on bitcoin.com: https://www.bitcoin.com/bitcoin.pdf

I don't see any evidence that Bitcoin's being used for money laundering at any decent scale. Bitcoin's not anonymous and it's far easier to launder money using USD. Bitcoin can't be used for money laundering at larg

I think they're trying to get rid of cash too.

Do you have a problem with Ver helping to restore Bitcoin’s original functionality of making instant, practically free transactions? If you don’t like BCH then don’t use it, you can leave that to everyone else.

Data attributes seem like the right way to me.

After 15 years of software development, watching Casey's videos changed how I code. His approach feels right. He's amazing, I'm very grateful for his series.

Over time as tech gets better, Bitcoin can handle more than 20M users without layer 2 services.
76.
by curyous 9y ago
Layer 2 services are not needed at all.
77.
by curyous 9y ago
This article gets it completely wrong. Bitcoin can handle much more than 20M users without layer 2 services. Layer 2 services are a solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist.

What's an ADT?

This article is very skewed, it's annoying that she wrote things like "which he claimed was backed up by studies." rather than "which are backed up by studies."

Seriously? If you think that men and women don't differ by more than their genitals, then you have to ignore all modern science.

FYI, a network with 1000x more on-chain transactions, that everyone uses, is much more difficult to censor, than one that requires bank-like organisation with IOUs to the main chain.

by curyous 9y ago
Big blocks increase decentralization and censorship resistance by allowing many more transactions and many more users.

Not caring about what other people think is necessary for doing pioneering work.

Great in-depth analysis that goes beyond what's obvious on the surface.

Great to see this view, it meshes with my experience. Making your code testable does terrible things to the design.

Aren't these the people that failed to defend Aaron Swartz?

by curyous 10y ago
The whole premise of this article as espoused in the first sentence, seems rather divorced from reality, to me.

Why couldn't they have used "func" for functions, like so many languages do, instead of "fun"?

A JIT faster than C? I thought in theory it would always have to be slower because you have the overhead of the JITing. Also, isn't compiling C to native, the best you can hope for anyway? What could be faster than that, except for asm

It's not stealing, it's sharing. You're not depriving anyone of anything. It's not a lost sale. The TV and movie industries are making more money than they ever have, because of all the sharing.
