For nation-states, nuclear weapons are not hard to do, they are 1940's technology after all. Once a source of uranium is available, the only obstacles are international treaties and countries that enforce them. Iran and Iraq's geo

If there is a hardfork and you're staking then I'd imagine you'll also be automatically staking on both chains, nothing to do. Hardfork only matter if you're transacting at the time of the fork, your transaction could be

Why all this morality police? It's just humorous, and to understand the double meaning, it requires quite a bit of imagination. To be fair, I think it's more common for security projects to take on more aloof names. Who could forg

Sure, I can see your point. It's a problem for computer scientists, and good to know as an anecdote. I'm talking about it in practice - when using TypeScript the 'halting problem' has never been an issue. I was joking ab

Aha! I had a look to confirm, and you are right! In essence, html + css is not. However if we have a human hitting tabs and spaces for a long enough time, then for all intents and purposes, perhaps it is? Anyhow, it's still very impres

Turing complete means that it's a simulation of a Turing machine, but not actually one. A TM is something purely abstract that was invented to prove the halting problem, and infinity of the tape is arguably the most crucial concept. Co

There wasn't any competition to mine it for a long time, so post-mining would have been just as effective as pre-mining. We know that Satoshi ended up mining a lot of Bitcoin. Of course, all well deserved. Further reading on this topic

Wow, amazing. That's a lot. Is there any reason or incentive why so many names despite not many use it? Btw, full ENS stats here https://ens.codetract.io

I too bought, about $800, at the bottom right, to place the words "Million Dollar Script". The script cost $50 a pop, and allowed you to make a self-hosted copycat site. I was quite busy for the next few months as orders kept rush

Again, I think this is where we differ - you're thinking in terms of stocks and shareholders, but there are no shareholders here. There are no shares that represent ownership of anything, and the most important distinction here is that

tbf, the bug was triggered not only because of theDao's code, but because of a combination of other conditions, including the way the virtual machine executed the code. The meat of the exploit was executed in the attacker's contra

The classic chain is still there, anyone can use it if they like. That's probably the best thing that happened, both groups had their own way and went their own way. You can't satisfy everyone and keep them on the same chain. Tech

Unlike bitcoin which was originally intended to be used by the consumer for paying for real-world things, ETH is mostly intended to be used for paying for 'gas' in order to execute code in the virtual machine. The good thing is th

Type system is pretty cool in go. Particularly how the interfaces work, you don't have to explicitly declare that your object /type implements an interface, it automatically figures it out. Lack of genetics makes the code easier t

Hmm, not sure about cycles too. It sounds more like CPU clock cycles, may be confusing to those who see it that way? Note that there is also one more limit, the max gas per block limit.. Personally, I quite like gas, not too hard for a casu

by flashmob 9y ago
No, gas is a synonym for fee. However, gas is its own unit, separate from ETH. Each op code in the EVM has a gas price, depending on the complexity of the instruction. Eg. A store op costs more gas than a comparison op. When you do a transa
