One could be charitable and take this as a Futurama quote. Zapp Brannigan did say "without further adieu" (episode 1ACV10).

The current title says "Over 40% of all young men have been arrested in the USA". This can easily be interpreted as 40% of all young men in the whole world have been arrested in the USA. Instead, it should say "Over 40% of al

I'm pretty sure you're right about what she was talking about, but to be clear about terminology, all blocks are "mined". To quote the Bitcoin wiki, "Mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin&#x

I'm afraid it's already a thing people say, and has been for a while. But unlike "Web", Bitcoin may actually reach a version 2.0, and at that point, the confusion will probably be a constant source of amusement.

And what if you're interested in Norse mythology? Or people named Tor (a common name at least in Norway)? No, in the age of universal surveillance, it's best to conform to a narrow norm.

The "would you really read through the code" argument against open source is old and tired. There is no good reason to trust crypto-related software with secret source. You may not personally audit the code, but if there is no sou

I've found that the-whole-point-of-isms are almost always wrong. It's not the whole point of Bitcoin to be a decentralised payment system. It's part of the point, sure, but there are many other points, such as being an asse

Their wallet service can be used by anyone, anywhere. If you want to use their brokerage service to buy bitcoins, you need a U.S. bank account.

Personally I never saw what the big deal was. They allow you to put people into lists, which you could already do on Facebook and Twitter at the time. But because they called them "circles" and visualised them as such, suddenly it

I've always found this to be a strange duality in the Scala community. On the one hand they praise strong, static type checking in general Scala programming, and on the other hand they praise an almost untyped paradigm in the actor mod

The problem is that you can't just take an inherently centralised asset and sprinkle some blockchain on it to make it decentralized. If an asset is backed by a vault of gold bars, it is inherently centralised because the gold is in a c

In Norway, politicians have promised that they want to go ahead with data retention regardless of the legality of the EU directive. It has been postponed multiple times due to cost and technical issues, but we'll probably get it eventu

Seriously, this. They are being nonchalant about this whole thing, but it may be damaging their most valuable asset - the community's trust in them. Just don't ignore repeated attempts to contact your whitehat address.
