Google has made it a requirement to use hardware keys internally since early 2017 and has noted there have been zero successful phishing attempts since. Twitter would have done the same if they had competent security staff.

You can get paid for using the browser by being shown replacement non-targeted ads. Although it's a trivial amount.

ERC-20 transactions are much less compute intensive than the CryptoKitties contracts. At ~10-15 transactions/second this should be enough in the near term to support these community coins. Longer term Ethereum 2.0 will bring a much hig

They also encourage users to store private keys on reddit's servers, user password encrypted.

It's not correct. A layer 2 network is bottlenecked by the throughput from layer 1. Higher throughput on layer 1 is very relevant.

Tone is very tribalistic and low level. "If it's not Bitcoin it's not crypto". Irrational dismissiveness of innovation because their investment is at risk from competition. Like the saying goes "It is difficult to g

To clarify on the title; There will be a separate ERC-20 token per subreddit and it's opt-in. Each token be freely tradable on the Ethereum blockchain.

No I just said you can use it for saving and borrowing which have nothing to do with speculation or money laundering. Also it’s impossible to tell what percentage of transactions are related to money laundering in crypto and you can’t outri

Maker and Compound both support interest and borrowing which are what you'd find in a traditional bank (at much worse rates). The money laundering argument could be applied to anything that can't be controlled by governments. Unfo

Whether you agree with the use cases or traction they're gaining doesn't negate that there's a lot of others that do find them useful.

Decentralised Finance (Defi) apps are starting to gain traction on Ethereum. Theres about half a billion in funds currently making use of them. https://defipulse.com

The reasoning is that somewhere down the line introducing an ice age may lead to a contentious hard fork. Better to include it upfront so that expectations are set that PoW on Ethereum is not a long term thing.

Last commit August 2016. Doesn't look like it's being maintained and I remember having issues that last time I used it.

The infrastructure to carry out that attack against BCH would cost around a billion dollars in mining equipment and power. Not exactly what you would call a small miner. BCH also has rolling 10 block checkpoints so max you could reorg would

There are instructions on how to route all operating system DNS requests through DoH here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-https/clo... . One advantage that DoH has over DNSCurve is that it is mu

Meant to say TOTP or SMS 2FA.

by flarex 7y ago
2FA does not fully protect you against phishing. The attacker can just passthrough all credentials including your 2FA code. It limits the attack to a time window and any further security sensitive changes that require 2FA may be protected u

It would be more just if people losing access to their accounts were those that lost their credentials rather than anyone that has a SMS number tied to their account. Other approaches to account recovery could be explored but none of them s

Why doesn't Google get rid of SMS recovery completely? It's a huge security flaw that can be easily exploited.

The argument that because encryption can be used for nefarious purposes it should not be offered by DNS providers at all does not add up. ISPs can block, redirect and sell DNS traffic and many are already doing some or all of these.

His main argument seems to be that the network operator should have control over DNS requests for safety reasons. Control and monitoring. This is the antithesis of privacy and encryption. I wouldn't be surprised if he was pro http over

I'd be more likely to believe what you're saying if you provided some backup for what you're claiming.

They've publically stated that they do not drop traffic for any plans (at least as of 2017) no matter the size. So whatever you have seen is likely no longer the case. Unless you have sources that they are still doing this?

All Cloudflare plans have unmetered DDoS protection. Where did you get the idea that they would cut you off if you were on the free tier?
