Every time you hear about cryptocurrencies that allow fee-less, immediate, eco-friendly transactions, it's worth to wonder why dominant cryptocurrencies still suffer from those issues. For example, one reason for the existence of trans

You're referring to the Terms of the website, not "Ethereum 2.0". It's like agreeing to the Terms of Use of a Bitcoin wallet. It doesn't mean that Bitcoin is a "centralized joke".

It's not my field, but I remember reading that your example doesn't represent entanglement because when put into envelopes, one marble is already red and another blue. In quantum entanglement they are both truly and really rando

This reminds me the bet in the bitcoin community [1]. If on average bitcoin blocks are produced every 10 minutes, and you learn that 5 minutes ago someone found a block, what is the average time you will wait for the next block? It turns ou

This is because running code on Ethereum VM and storing data is hugely expensive (rightly so, as it's being done on all nodes in the world). Therefore Solidity will try to compile into a VM code that uses the least numbers of cheapest

I think that many people miss the most important thing here: it is not important if a currency hard-forks or not - what is important is that it can . I have no confidence that Bitcoin or any other currency doesn't fork in the future,

This is a very one-sided discussion which makes it seem like it was written by a person who wants Monero's value to rise. It doesn't mention any drawbacks of Monero - like poor scalability - that blocks it's wide adoption. Th

Please check aiopg [1]. There's also an interesting list of packages for asyncio [2]. [1] https://aiopg.readthedocs.org/en/stable/ [2] http://asyncio.org/

Yes, it is a single process application. But to utilize all cores I use Gunicorn to spawn multiple processes. http://aiohttp.readthedocs.org/en/stable/gunicorn.html

Unfortunately the code is not open source - I'll try to open parts of it in the future. But please do check this simple gist I found some time ago that helped me understand how powerful asyncio is: https://gist.github.com&#x

We see people hyping all the time for NodeJS mainly because it can handle millions of concurrently open connections. Now we get a much cleaner (IMHO) way to achieve the same thing in python (of course python is slower) - i.e. see aiohttp as

I've been using the new async/await syntax to write beautiful asynchronous websockets server and I fell in love with it. It handles hundreds of thousands of concurrent connections (on top of aiohttp) and the code is so much cleane

It's not only a distraction but outright dangerous. People got used to accept every banner with word "cookie" in it. There were cases in Poland where scammers would add "and I subscribe to X and will pay Y monthly"

I thought so too, but saying "two most popular" actually makes it perfectly clear which one he refers to later.

What you are writing is exactly why I threw game theory into the mix. Game theory show strategies that given a certain set of rules are beneficial for the player or all players (for interesting example see Nash equilibrium). The example you

Since they're not sure if they found a security related error or not, I would rather make a disclosure to Bitcoin dev team fist before going public with it.

Please see my comment above. For all practical purposes, GHash pool owner controls the whole hashing power - he becomes the owner of each mined block and can do whatever he want's with it without users' consent.

I don't think you're right. The mining machines are pointed towards Ghash pool owner and he becomes the owner of the mined block - that's how he can distribute the BTC to everyone who contributed. So in practice, he controls

I think this may be the way for attackers to force price of BTC to fall down, then buy tons of them to sell when the price goes up again.
