This happened before in Iran's revolution, School Deans, and even Hospital Directors were replaced by pro-revolution islamists regardless of education or qualifications. We might see Turkey transform itself into what Iran became. After

It's not since Mist (and Metamask) injects the web3 object into the page, no jSON-API is used. It also displays a confirmation dialog each time a transaction is generated. If setting up Mist too much trouble to try this, you can always

Nice post. It looks like a potential issue for someone specifically running geth with that config, but ok for an end-user using Mist or Metamask.

"your blockchain"?.. This is not a football team or a clan, there is no "my"/"your"... Decentralized systems work by consensus and by choice, for the DAO the consensus of the community is to stop the theft

Actually cheaper bandwidth and storage only make these type of systems more accessible and the micro transactions cost even more negligible. It is migrating from an illusory free web to a truly free one in both senses of the word. Not all a

The key difference though is the decentralization part. The backend cluster can have downtime or be shutdown, with Ethereum it wouldn't have downtime ever and can't be shutdown either. It is 'pay-to-play', but the cost i

That may be so, but I'll take The Lancet over thefreethoughtproject.com, natural news and random conspiracy internet websites any day.

> This person is Vitalik Buterin, right? That address is Gavin Wood, who is not even part of the foundation. > I get the impression that Etherium is really Vitalik Buterin, and the other names are window dressing. Is that correct? No.

In terms of control the contract can as centralized or as decentralized as you code it to be, with the difference that it runs on a truly decentralized platform. It does goes both ways as well, if you can contact your provider to get your s

By pre-mine you mean crowdfunded to fund development ofc... If there is a way to do something like Ethereum or Maidsafe WITHOUT the freaking money I would LOVE to hear about it. It would be nice if we could work on this type of technology w

You can implement safeguards in the contract to revert transactions for instance. A contract can be as centralised in the control sense as traditional software (while living in a decentralised system though), or as decentralised and out of

by heliumcraft 10y ago
ALL general purpose programming languages (C++, Java, etc..) are Turing Complete and this is an essential feature for creating decentralised applications (or any software really).

Well that's the same with any software and service isn't.. If I put my company precious data on AWS, there is a chance it will get hacked, it's a matter of taking precautions and trade offs. We need to think of better tools

It's not about the money, it certainly is with Bitcoin, but Ethereum goes beyond that. There are tons of possible applications (decentralized DNS, decentralized forums, marketplaces, etc..) that do not involve money in the same way a D

Ethereum is a platform for decentralised applications, it has far more pratical use than a simple blockchain like Bitcoin, but far more risks as well. Give it a chance, it's just starting, there is a lot more development to do, don&#x2

It's like saying the WEB and HTTP protocol have nothing do with a SQL injection on some website.

I dont think I would consider Ethereum a "concurrent system" in the same sense. This functionality is there because it allows contracts to interact with each other. This allows a million different type of applications, e.g you cou

Essentially this is the equivalent of a dev mistakely using an eval in the wrong place in a nodejs code. But all these articles are making it sound like the Ethereum team created the DAO and this issues affect Ethrereum as whole, which just

by heliumcraft 10y ago
It's a code mistake by who did the DAO code. (DAO != Ethereum) It's more the equivalent of using eval in your nodejs code to evaluate some parameter received from a user. It's a stupid code mistake, but you wouldn't say

The Ethereum Foundation had nothing to do with the creation of the DAO.

you are looking at a page listing boards and advisors, of course those wouldn't be the technical people. Look at the core teams behind the different tools (too many to list here quickly), as well as the devs working in companies in the

"This impacts all contracts on Ethereum, not just the DAO. This is an issue with Ethereum’s JavaScript-like programming language (Solidity)." No it doesn't, no it's not. It affects contracts that use this functionality w

If your goal is a calculator, then a computer is a poor design indeed. Ethereum is meant to be a platform and goes far beyond what Bitcoin can do.

Based on a poor design? according to who? It's the most advanced blockchain out there by far and wide! This was a single contract with a flaw, it's like saying the whole internet is doomed because some website got a SQL injection.
