This is super sad & bad for the space and for those of us that work in the industry and just want to build real stuff. $600m is a ton for anywhere, but especially for Vietnam! I hope there is an international manhunt ongoing.

Totally agree about making `internal` the default visibility for Solidity/EVM functions. Should also require visibility to be declared (right now just compiler warnings happen).

I'll never forget this pull request. Just having these two `internal` keywords there would have saved $150 million dollars. https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/6102/files#diff-8e... A lot of

In most centralized entities, interests are conflicted. With mining, the value of the income is directly determined by the price of the cryptocurrency.

Yes, it is common to basically ask for funding until the last minute. The fact that Fortress already gave them some funding, at arguably the "last minute" is evidence of this. Fortress, you will note, was probably more of a vultur

What is the "blockchain protocol"? I think we really need to pick A blockchain and criticize it specifically. And with applications: some will be more expensive, some won't be. Ethereum developers are already exploring ways

Having a huge mining pool is super lucrative. Why would you want to mess with your underlying cryptocurrency and threaten your income if you're a mining pool?

It adds an extra hurdle to developing dapps as well. So many users in gitter channels I frequent run into problems with gas. But one thing is amazing is that once your dapp is deployed your backend is fully permanent and replicated 19,000 t

Wow, the blockchain terminal one is so freaky. It's just two monitors. And yeah, like the article says, the demo screen is blank. Why do you need a whitepaper for a terminal anyways?!

Can't wait to support Althea Mesh some more in the future! We don't live in a great place right now with much human-density at all. If we ever live in a city though I will be the first to put up a system that can run Althea Mesh.

Yes, blockchains _have_ been overhyped thus far. But there is some promise to having distributed control over a database. For instance, you can build a company with [token|share]holders that no one controls -- a true cooperative. (full di

Wow, what would cause you to be IQ tested without knowing that in advance?

Doubtful you would care about theoretical physics in the first place if your IQ was 90.

Wow, really wanted a picture in this article. Will have to read it later to learn what it looks like.

RSS is crucial for me to get custom keyword alerts from various SEC filings feeds from companies I watch. InoReader makes a great assistant in this way. I'm not affiliated at all.

Yes, of course, and it was WebRTC. We ended up with a better solution (encoding the metadata we were storing in IPFS in a bytes32 stored in the Ethereum blockchain). There were extra scripts and setup. Overall moving off simplified our st

I'd love to read technical details about what they built with it and how they manage replication. Will look for some and repost if I find.

By good "replication properties" you mean "having to run many scripts/nodes yourself" to get widely replicated that is true. We found IPFS in general to be awesome software that just wasn't quite ready for prod
