There needs to be a fairer distribution of the tokens if they want this to succeed. This is because token holders become the ambassadors / evangelists for the project. There's probably a lot of disappointed people who missed the c

Would you say that this has limitations and it's not a silver bullet? Eg. What if your software added numbers, formal verification proved that your program was indeed correct because it added the numbers. However, it missed the require

True, no statistic tells to whole story and should be taken with a grain of salt. However, I think this metric has a lot of psychological value as it's easy to grasp and has been generally accepted by the bitcoiners when it was 80%. Do

Interesting to note that at the same time bitcoin's dominance in the cryptocurrency market is down to 55.5%, hugging historic lows. http://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage

I'm failing to see your point. I do not know why, nether don't care, why Alice wants to buy currency B. Maybe she just wanted to buy some coffee from Charlie, and she was comfortable that her transaction didn't burn thousands

Thanks for clarifying. Sorry, didn't mean to bring out the ASIC debate so strongly - my point was mainly that the research is not exclusive, and can be shared between projects, as in the litecoin using Segwit example.

It's not censorship - it's called consensus. Look back to the screenshot in my post. Censorship is when you conceal information. The screenshot clearly specifies a yes/no choice without leaning to any choice. (it specifies yo

Technically, no transactions were undone, but the fork agreed to new rules set in the future. The users of the new version also had a choice if they wanted to support the fork or not, the majority went with the fork. This is a screenshot of

You're right. Household CO2 emissions are nothing compared to commercial / transport. Just look at airlines. As a random example, Qantas Airlines, in the 2015 financial year, burned $3.9 billion AUD worth fuel! (About $3 billion i

Sounds drastic, but once there is runaway greenhouse effect, something drastic would need to be done to cool the Earth. Your idea of carpet bombing might just work, provided that the result would produce aerosols that have the similar effec

How about miner's fee, is that added to the transaction? In the About, they say that they make 2 undependable dust transactions. Would there be any incentive for miners to confirm these transactions and store them in the blockchain? If

With advanced tech, there is no need for them to build probes. Eg. use wormholes to peek in to any location in the universe, or some other teleportation system. Probably that's why you can't see them. Source: Sci-fi films.

Another great thing: gofmt - Go has no style guide, just this tool! Committed code ends up looking cleaner and you don't have to adapt to other's wacky standards. No more tabs vs spaces arguments or where to place that brace... brilliant.
