SegWit is controversial because it is a key part of Core's off-chain scaling roadmap, as opposed to alternative, on chain scaling. It's pure politics: If SegWit "wins", we go down a certain route of scaling and cement Co

As a Tox user, I'd love to see some of these cryptographers calling it out actually contribute lines of code. Tox fills a niche. It might not be perfectly secure, but there is also far more to software than the crypto. UI stuff takes a

Most people in the Bitcoin community have a pretty shrewd idea who is responsible for the DDoSing. But no proof, of course. (Hint: Certain libertarian leaning early adopters who want Bitcoin to remain as a government-proof store of value, v

That's interesting - I have chronic congestion. How much sugar did you eat before you quit? What did "quitting" mean to you? (Just no sweets/cakes/biscuits, or did you go more extreme - no chinese food!?)

In case you are still watching this and want more feedback, let me quote someone else here: > it's like airbnb but with less privacy? A lot of these "nomad" ventures have a huge focus on networking, socialising... I'd

It's worth bearing in mind their adversary is not "spooks", but rather the MPAA. Is the anonymity good enough to prevent the user getting nasty letters from their ISP?

Oh, it's that guy that hates everything. ChangeTip is cool . It is a Bitcoin killer app. Like it or not, giving tips, even to people who don't need them, is fun. And for every person who is tipped who may not want or need it, I

I really hope so. I'm someone who is scared of flying, but would happily go on board an airship for some reason.

If you believe strongly in internet freedom and that drugs should be decriminalised / the drugs war is a terrible abomination, you probably think he's more or less a good guy. I think there's simply a large overlap in these

It reads like a character assassination. A very negative interpretation for no particular reason, and a highly incredulous and begrudging perspective of the extreme introverted or loner character. A truly awful article.

> It doesn't just kill physical pain like ibuprofen, it also kills psychological pain, emotional pain and the pain caused by social phobias. Huh. I've tried quite a few different meds in the search for a chemical cure for socia

> CloudFlare does not actively block visitors who use the Tor network... ...Yet all visitors who use the Tor network are blocked. There's a certain contradiction here. (Yes, I know what they mean, but the end result remains the same

No, it is not. If I thought the owner of said body had no value other than their body, you would be correct. You can appreciate a persons body, you can appreciate a persons personality. Doing the former doesn't magically invalidate the

I vaguely hinted at supporting GamerGate, and this was enough for you to slander me as "trying to justify some pretty terrible actions". At no point did I attempt to justify any violent threats; quite the opposite, I simply pointe

> Any non-misogynist Gamergaters (are there any?) Yes, there are. The majority, in fact. And there are a fair few women in the movement too, but I suppose you think they are poor deluded fools who are oppressing themselves and need the g

Irrespective of whether they are indeed a part of a given side, they are one-sidedly being described in the media as such.

I said there is a legitimate argument, and you've certainly demonstrated there is an argument! I disagree with you, but I'd better shut up now.

They are excluded by omission. The words "come under attack from online trolls" link to a further article that paints all GGs as the very devils themselves.

It's the bias in the media. GamerGate supporters are painted uniformly as misogynists. There is a legitimate argument about press ethics, freedom of speech, and whether appreciating an attractive body is the same as objectification. &g
