   Yeah they even link directly to PDF datasheets of PCB laminates and prepreg material (the core layers that the copper adheres to on a printed circuit board) that were used in an effort to show why they are having issues. Pretty specific. Go

   In btc1 there is not any replay protection right now, as the timeline didn't allow for development of this. It is an important feature request though, maybe follow along here: https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin/i

   If the exchanges trade 'segwit2x-coin' as Bitcoin, it will become 'Bitcoin', and the legacy coin, if it is possible to use at all, will have to be renamed.

   You can look at ETH vs ETH classic to see the effect. Initial huge drop while things get reorganized, then after a long time, with the legacy chain worth 10% of the main chain, with unknown extra value lost due to the split. This assumes en

   Until the hard fork 3 months down the road, then the blocks won't be accepted.

    Yes, it can. By watching the size and timing of flows with 'regular HTTPS' traffic vs 'VPN HTTPS' traffic, it can be distinguished.

    The Great Firewall blocks these no problem, not sure if you realize the scale of who and what you are dealing with. There are enough side channels leaked trying to proxy an Internet connection through an encrypted tunnel, this is picked up

    I think a bigger problem with the 'chips by the kg' mindset, is that there is zero incentive and zero funding to develop good software to go along with the hardware. Companies who are successful have spent way more time in ensurin

    1) Get a bunch of Eth. 2) Invest in the right ICO. Not the wrong one, where the value drops to zero.

    All the electricity produced gets mixed in. To incentivize renewable energy production, "Renewable Energy Credits" are used for the bookkeeping of what kinds of energy is being generated, and are created when energy is produced by

    It is not throwing the money away - electricity distributors are required to buy additional portions of renewables for delivery. This increases demand and available investment funds for new renewable projects. Here's a section of the T

    Just wondering if you looked into using GiN or GiST indexes on the JSON in the table?

    Depending on what you see as the value proposition for Bitcoin. Long term settlements = transaction fees for miners. Short term = Lightning or other providers. Personally, I think that mining only should not be a for-profit enterprise. Only

    For the record I support the "COOP" compromise. SegWit activation during the UASF timeline so that doesn't screw things up, with a locked-in HF to 2MB blocks. I agree that bigger blocks are needed to ease even non-witness&#x2
