Capital is capital, be it in the form of money or hardware. Putting the onus on capital in a form of hardware is just making it harder for smaller guys. I can throw 32 ETH into staking. It's way beyond my capability to mine - wrong geo

Yes. Definitely. Absolute staggering majority of people writing books don't sell even one copy. And my bet is - they know what are the chances. EDIT1: More than that. People don't live of royalties. Publishers do. Can people creat

Why would any fan of someones work buy a knock-off copy? We can safely assume they are a fan, otherwise why would even buy it? Also, painting is a physical object. It's a one of a kind. EDIT: your objection and many many other question

Lots of people don't support copyright. It's a concept that should be abolished in it's current form. Right to attribution is OK. Ability to restrict other forms of use is not OK.

I've tried setup like this. I fall asleep immediately. It seems that I require some amount of discomfort to stay focused.

by exo762 5y ago
No, it can't. World uses single round of SHA-256. Bitcoin uses two rounds of SHA-256 for PoW. Since Bitcoin ASICs hardware is optimized really really hard, they are simply incapable of doing a single round SHA-256. IMHO this design dec

This is how you guarantee that only criminals have guns. What's the point of gun control in this circumstances?

Anyone interested in the subject should also look into https://zkga.me . It's an incomplete information p2p game (just as mental poker). They utilize zksnarks, among other crypto tools.

Ethereum is to transition to PoS late 2021 / early 2022. https://blog.ethereum.org/2021/05/18/country-power-no-more/ Rest of GPU-mining is likely small enough so that we will see lots of GPUs on sec

It protects you from negligence, not malice of your conversation partner. There is an obvious design trade-off since people might use this feature in a wrong setting.

Again, not a problem. ZCash allows one to cryptographically prove transactions.

You can use cryptocurrency which hides all of your transactions (like zcash) and pay your taxes as a law abiding citizen. There is no conflict here. Tax systems rely on citizens reporting anyway.

You can still trace the money by looking at the block explorer. All you did is thrown them in coinbase address. This is no different from coinjoin.

You are conflating cause and effect. Security budget of Bitcoin is defined by block reward. Miners just compete to get a larger piece of the pie. Bitcoin price (and thus security budget) are so high because Bitcoin is the default-go-to cryp

> I didn't say that. My point is that miners will decide which chain gets the bigger hashrate and that chain is likely to be adopted as the "real" chain by users, if it's the vast majority of the miners. Furthermore,

Why don't we setup a panel of PhDs who will vet all new contracts? Sounds fresh.

> Current implementation depends on the exchange rate No, it does not. You are staking ETH, not USD. Essentially, you are staking a percentage of all ETH, percentage capped from below.

It's actually way funnier than GOP presets to be. Flashloan must be paid back in the same transaction. Since whole thing happens in the same tx, it's atomic. So you can use smart-contract logic to determine if you are actually mak
