I have some possible evidence to this theory. At around x-mass / new year, Facebook flashed a message on my wall which said "in 2017, you received 0 birthday wishes". (Screenshot reported by others https://goo.gl&#

Perhaps you could try creating a struct with just the common properties, then embed the common struct in all your 'extended' structs. Eg. http://www.hydrogen18.com/blog/golang-embedding.html

No problem with that indenting here (personal opinion), I guess makes it easier to read if your editor doesn't have soft-wraps. However, generally, if the parameters list overflow to another line like that, it becomes a good candidate

I wasn't convinced about Stellar in that article. Some arguments given were strawman like, especially when attacking proof of work (PoW) or other things that are irrelevant because Stellar is something completely different. Besides, I

I think the opposite is happening thanks to tainted coins, non-tainted become more valuable as they become scarce. Eg. If you Google 'freshly mined bitcoin' you will see they are quite desirable.

After reading this, also checked my writing for Absolutist words, and also will try to consciously avoid them, would be very annoying to see someone replying with "Please seek professional help as soon as possible!" ;-)

Thanks for the explanation. Good point about staking, assuming if the validator is chosen before, then they are certain to get the chance to order the transactions in their favour. The article, as I understood, the caller predicts the outco

I guess it would be more responsible to report the bug to the contract author first. Perhaps they will let you take it as a reward, and you'll sleep better at night and won't have a moral dilemma ;-) Seriously though, nice find. W

Have you heard of Facebook's Aquila drone? Sounds like something you are describing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Aquila Also, Google's project loon comes to mind.

Here's an interesting metric which I think is behind all the support troubles at Coinbase: Take a look at Coinbase's Alexa ranking: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/coinbase.com 220 - up from around 3000 12 mon

Yes, that's what I meant by "demand for tethers go up". Although at present, there are only two exchanges that offer Tethers/USD market (Kraken & Bitfinex). Eventually, majority of those holding Tether will probably

> Holy Shit, are they just trying to print out tethers out of thin air right now to pump Bitcoin? That's the line I often see on Twitter / Reddit and usually gets a lot of upvotes, despite being irrational, with no proof to bac

In the video that you have posted, they do not seem to transfer XRP, but USD. In fact, XRP is not needed to use their products (Assuming the video was about 'Ripple Connect') Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/R

Thought experiment: Just say Citibank adds the Mexican pesos to their products, USA & international, side by side to all their USD products. If citibank bought pesos before the announcement, would they be engaging in insider trading? (P

Relax. Looking across the sea, Japan has been positive on cryptocurrencies. Japan is always Korea's main rival and influencer when it comes to technology and everything else. This rivalry is deeply embedded in the Korean psyche. Most l

yep, I was just using it as an example to make a general statement that I made in the third paragraph. Do you agree or not? Was wondering what are your thoughts on that

yes, but that's usually the accepted definition in the crypto-currency world (eg. see the source link I've posted where they use it in that context too). There are different definitions of inflation/deflation, but the price i

Note that at this time, bitcoin is still very much inflationary, with 1800 new bitcoins being generated every day. This puts the annual inflation rate at 4.01%. Source: http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/ Perhaps real deflatio

Some very good points. I recall that the mainnet once had a gas per block limit of 4.7 mil before it was increased. The increase is something that is voted on by the miners, and has been fluid over the years. (Btw, it is something very simi

citing reddit? I'm guessing you'd like to point out the commit history table. Nice. You might notice that the table (conveniently) starts from 2010, after a good chunk of coins already has been mined. 2011-2012 is when a lot of th

Oh, I was referring to bitpay, which probably will not last long unless it pivots into b2b or altcoins. It's also hard to tell if Bitcoin developers are all in or not. Note that developers can have different interests than holders (eg.

Both Brian & Jeff are still both heavily invested in businesses that rely on Bitcoin, they are not just speculators who simply buy and hold. Their business plans are ruined if Bitcoin fees get too high. Note that 'extremely low fee

That is not a very distinctive difference. Note that it's also not that easy, at least in the developed world, for a Reserve Bank to change the issuance because it has to make sure that the inflation is under control to ensure financia

Media coverage is negative only because that's what people like to click on. I think government regulation will only legitimize it and bring it to the masses.
