The cost is, with 8MB blocks, 95% of nodes that validate consensus will be excluded (unable to keep up or become too costly to run) within 6 months - as per BitFury's (heavily invested Bitcoin mining company) research on bigger blocks:

Not only was there a backlog, but Ethereum users were paying almost $2000(!) in transaction fees to be included in a block. http://www.livebitcoinnews.com/ico-investor-pays-us1500-wort... https://etherscan.io&#x2

Ethereum has the same issue practically all current blockchains have. In order to scale, payment channels need to be used. This is why Ethereum has run into backlogs lately and has its own version of Lightning on its roadmap. Bitcoin alread

If you treat Bitcoin mining as a lottery, with your hardware generating multitudes of tickets for every ~10 minute (on average) block, then you can just fire up any old CPU, GPU, or ASIC and wait. If you treat Bitcoin mining with a short te

I support open protocols and not proprietary products that make you pay to simply keep chat history (Slack deletes messages after +10,000 messages). To be against IRC is to be against e-mail. IRC has been around at least since the 80s.

You realize logging IRC and distributing said logs can be completely automatic, right? Anyone can set that up. It's honestly kind of humorous that you find this to be such a mountain to climb.

"most people miss any conversations that don't happen in their business hours. This has huge effects on collaboration." Why don't you send them logs of the conversations?

What's the phrase? "If you assume, you make an ass out of you and me"? In reply (because of reply functionality, instead of stealthy edits), you should know I run an unmasked ck-sources kernel because rice (and BFS/BFQ).

vanilla-sources is not supported by the Gentoo kernel team, so I would expect it to not be. hardened-sources, however, is supported. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Overview#vanilla-sources
