I am rather certain that guys consumed less-legal substances while drafting their whitepapers. That is my top reason not to consider their business "legitimate".

Filecoin? Consider Bit Torrent seeding/bandwidth. It is too cheap to count for at least 10 years. Even tit-for-tat is no longer necessary since LEDBAT was rolled out (circa 2010). The stuff they are going to count "on the blockcha

My comment was intended as a joke mostly, but then I recalled this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salami_tactics > The term Salami tactics (Hungarian: szalámitaktika) was coined in the late 1940s by the orthodox c

Well, at least a storage-backed crypto currency can offer some intrinsic value. That's much less stupid than burning electricity purposelessly. On the technical side, I find it doable. Unless they actually try to implement it "on

That's sick. Kotlin is an island. The fortress is named Kronstadt.

Sounds like they adapted LEDBAT delay measuring tricks.

Virtually every db works like that under the hood. They expose it differently, though. Kafka has nothing but log, for example.

Some CRDTs employ vector clocks. CRDT is a veeeeery broad family of algorithms and data structures.

An-object-graph-as-a-CRDT is a really interesting concept. So far, I am not aware of any literature formalizing/studying it. I can only recall the recent CRDT JSON paper by Kleppmann et al, which is significantly less ambitious. Is yo

That only gives you academic critique and follow-ups. Sometimes, some practitioner is pissed to the degree he/she posts an opinion online. That is extremely valuable, but never gets into the citation graph. For example... http:&#x2F

Git has crypto for a reason. Every package manager must have it too.

My point is: banks are not driving around trucks full of gold bars (like some other commenter suggested). These days, it is mostly electrons moving. They also minimize the number of people involved. I believe, the remaining people are doing

Turnover: the amount of business transacted during a given period of time. How much BitCoins change hands in a month, for example. Actually, plotting that in dollars is even more correct, as electricity costs are not paid with BitCoins. Ult

I just had some issues with my Dutch bank because they totally switch to the model of "mobile client + internet + paper letter once a year". They deprecate walk-in procedures. They close branches. I did not visit them for 5 years

You are focusing on a single scenario of an individual double-spender. Why don't you consider some other scenario, e.g. a hacker getting control of a major BitCoin mining facility to disrupt things just for a laugh? I've seen a lo

Well, things work much better in crypto (not proof-of-work, but the "real" one).

I believe that most of money consumed by the financial system actually goes back into the economy. Some bankers buy sushis, then sushi chefs buy gasoline, then oil drillers... and so on. BitCoin tends to waste energy irrecoverably. Apples-t

Another option is to hack 51% of the hashrate. The third one is to own it from the very beginning.

by gritzko 11y ago
No, no, no. The amount of power wasted by BitCoin indirectly depends on the monetary turnover of the system. Because if somebody can spend $1mln to perform 51% attack and move around $1bln, that will likely be done. Hence, the power wasted

by gritzko 11y ago
A real bad thing here is the asymmetry. To prevent 51%, the network has to burn enormous amounts of energy 24x7 forever while the attacker only needs his energy for the duration of the attack.

From the document model standpoint, Prosemirror has a tree of nodes, while Trix has an array of blocks with a stack of block-level formatting. Mathematically equivalent, practically not so much.

I wrote some collaborative editors and I fully agree on those points. In my opinion, contentEditable is a codebase way too big to replicate in JavaScript (unless you're Google).

by gritzko 11y ago
CRDT is heavy on metadata and thus requires some compression and garbage collection techniques. In this implementation, every letter is a JavaScript object. Performance was not an objective, I guess.

Back in 2008 I was studying P2P networks. I've made a BitTorrent crawler by duct taping v8 and libevent (there was no node.js at the time). It took about 5 minutes to scan a fresh Dexter swarm of about 100K peers. Then, I had all the I
