I think if people want to donate money to the creators of content they should install the Autotip browser extension. It works the same way as Brave, except it sends the tip on-chain. If you read Brave's documentation, the architecture

The dev-mailing list is very censored, I can verify this based on my personal experience. Many of my posts strengthening on-chain scaling points have been deleted from the dev-mailing list.

This isn't correct either. All miners pretty much agree with a 2MB limit, but it has to come from core. Chinese miners don't want to switch to alternate clients because of cultural reasons. If the core developers issue a raise to

> who pays for this whole network in 30 years? Why pays to seed torrents? Who pays to run NTP servers? Who pays for running game servers? Its is wrong to assume that something has to be profitable in order for it to exist.

Mining does not need to be profitable. People always make the mistake in thinking that if mining ceases to be profitable that mining would suddenly stop. That is simply not how it works. It is more economical to buy tomatoes at the grocery

I still think the best way to interview a programmer is to just talk to them. Ask them about their experiences. I've known a bunch of programmers in my time, and I feel I can tell if someone is the real deal within a few minutes of the

This is a total nitpick, but I was actually Homejoy's first engineer. I was fired after 4 days, and then they hired Dan to replace me. This has no relevance whatsoever, I just thought I'd clarify that one bit :)

There is no law that says you have to record every transaction. On your tax form, there is a field where you put in the total amount gained or lost over the entire year. For 2014 I lost money, so in my tax form, I didn't put anything.

You are getting downvoted (you and the other green username) because hacker news is not a community that values posts that are purely personal insults. Try posting some ideas next time.

Usually when a marker "runs out" it just has all the ink drained to the back of the pen. If you hold the pen with the tip facing down, it'll drain the ink back to the tip and it will write again.

The Lightning network solves the wrong problem. The whole idea behind the lightning network is to reduce the growth of the blockchain. The blockchain growing is not going to be a factor that effects the operation of the network. Instead I&#

It costs 80 million dollars to buy all the hardware to mine a single block. It will probably costs 800 million dollars to amass enough computing power to mine 10 blocks. It only makes sense to double spend a transaction with a VERY larg

its because bitcoin is irreversible. If a traditional bank gets hacked, they just rollback the database to before the attack. With bitcoin, there is no rolling back. All security lessons are learned the hard way.

I disagree with his last point. There was once a time when I was obsessive about not copying pasting code. Over time I eventually learned that sometimes it better to just copy+paste a code snippet a few places than being dogmatic by making
