It's the system, but not the system of laws. If leaders and elites constantly shit on laws because they think their status allows them to – then the laws won't make people honest. Because there are thousands of ways for dishonest

Yes, I'm mathematician and I love the idea that everyone can have an independent and consistent sense of truth. But the real world is far from this idealistic picture, unfortunately.

That's how free speech works in the modern world. You have to waste your time, energy, nerves to refute a total nonsense that zombie-like mob find useful in supporting. An egocentric profit heavily overweights truth and sense.

On the other hand, if your boss thinks he can do your job (and do it even better than you), while in fact he can't – you will get the worst nightmare.

And what is Bitcoin value without it being used as a currency?

You are not required to trust exchanges. But in reality, it's them who rule the Bitcoin's world. And they are much worse than governments and banks.

Butcoin takes trust away from governments and bankers and puts it in the hands of crypto exchanges, that print fake dollars (Tether) to buy Bitcoin and raise its price. Nice transition.

Also, why we consider a single human as living organism, but not a society? Single human without society is a pitiful and helpless chunk of meat, who unable to replicate btw.

"krai" also means area, territory, not just border. The meaning "borderland" is a Russian derogatory narrative, very hypocritical btw.

Russian chauvinists also like to call Ukrainian language as fake. So this looks like a bad Russian joke.

Dude, you're just re-translating what Russian propaganda says on every channel they control 24/7 for years. But you can't overcome the truth no matter how loud you scream. It's the Russia who ruin everything around them

It looks like the idea of money got completely detached from a useful value. Probably due to the world scale corruption. This is not going to end well.

Do numbers exist? I mean really big numbers. How about algorithms? Those that are not yet implemented. I believe consciousness is some kind of algorithm. But consciousness alone doesn't define who we are, inherently.

You assume that the proxy and the search provider follow these rules and do not cooperate in a different way (e.g. the proxy can send a query with an IP). But can you actually prove it? The search provider isn't disclosed, we don'

Yes, you can do it if you put the hash of a message INTO the chain as a transaction (I think they do something of this kind). But in this way you will share the limits of the Bitcoin network. They claim they do it in some efficient way, tho

EDIT: To be honest, knowledge of the hash of a block can be used as a proof that something has happened AFTER a particular event (similarly to a picture of a hostage with the newspaper). But you can't prove that something has happened

Bitcoin network is constantly readjusting mining complexity, so that every new block will be mined in approximately 10 minutes. Then, they substitute the notion of time with the sequence of Bitcoin blocks. Yeah, well done! Bitcoin proponent

I'm not fully following your logic, but to resolve that problem you need another consensus algorithm over the votes of representatives. And I don't know how we can effectively use the fact, that a probability of harmful representa

If you know the sequence number ahead of time then you can attach any transaction to it, including two conflicting. The point of hardware counter is that you (your device, actually) sings a counter along with a transaction. You couple them

According to this [1], keypairs are generated randomly on a registration request. To sign such keypairs root private key must be somewhere on the device. But I don't see a mention of this in the docs. [1] https://developers.

The hardware signing is not enough for transaction to be accepted. User signing is also required. You need two signatures, that are linked to each other. As for IDs, this is the right question :) You are not allowed to have gaps in transact
