Crypto projects tend to be the best in the entire world about paying out bug bounties. The connection to dollars is really obvious. In the last three months there have million dollar plus bounties paid out. Here's an article from today

I work for a crypto company. This is actually a solved problem. The solution is to use multi-sig wallets - at least for amounts that would be missed. A company might have a "5 of 8" multi-sig. This means that to move money, five o

Here is background on this for a developer-but-not-crypto-developer. The Ethereum blockchain has its own money that is built right into "OS" of the blockchain. It's called ETH. Any time one program calls another, the actual f

Every time I stumble on the codebase for DAI, I start crying with laughter. For reference, DAI is a leading crypto stablecoin, holding 9.3 billion dollars worth of assets. But the code philosophy believes that made up variable and method na

Most modern crypto projects are paying massively for users and attention - like UBER in the early days. But OpenSea is just pure cash cow - eighty million a month in revenue, off minimal expenses and no advertising. Regardless of whatever s

You were right that it was just AA for most of the war, due to the desire for secrecy, but starting at the battle of the Bulge in late 1944, proximity fuses were used by US artillery, on land. Otherwise, I strongly agree with you.
