Good luck with having your hopes for anything on Ethereum.

It makes sense, what I was wondering though was about the difference if any of the raw DNA (SNP) data they provide.

It's already functional and live in production for many business today. It will just keep getting better, e.x. enabling LN payments without an invoice from the person accepting the payment.

Kinda saturated of the so called "censorship-free"-Patreon solutions if you follow the space, but the whole point is to not have to trust that someone won't block you. So a solution is not yet another platform but everyone (t

Too bad the whole thing was/is shadowed by the split of founders and foundation. As always with pretty much any cryptocurrency over-promises that fell short (launch was supposedly scheduled for end of last year) and greed. Cherry on-to

- You could say that for cash and internet as well, but I hate it too that currently the majority of the space is overrun by scammers & useless ICOs. - As for wallet bugs: if you're talking about Ethereum or low-quality software pr

Try checking memory of a cryptocurrency exchange. A couple gigs after some hours of activity. I would imagine that there's a memory leak, but it's weird that this performance is consistent across all 3-4 exchanges I've been u

I fail to see how this moves the discussion forward, we're talking about how effective LN could be regarding helping with scaling. Also, note the core idea of LN (updatable non-broadcasted Bitcoin TXs with incentive-based security and

I was talking about Lightning Network nodes, not Bitcoin. Bitcoin at one point was at this stage but through iterations and continuous improvement it evolved to being able to secure all those funds. The point is that it's disingenuous

Wow, I guess it's dead then /s It's an evolving software still in pre-alpha state. But the core idea is solid and if you follow the development you'll see the strides of progress that is being done on all fronts. To your

Pretty underwhelming to have the top challenges outsourced to bounty-based RFPs. With the money they got any kind of centralization because of overpromises is a huge failure in my book. Really disappointed by the greed that ICOs have brough

People will see what they want to see. Like one could see Internet as pretty much the sole thing that enables child pornography and causes immeasurable damage. Also, pretty sure Cash and Banking trumps Bitcoin in all of the following: terro

They screwed it up badly. If you checked BTC/BCH, there were open orders buying 1 BCH for 3 BTC, which is totally ridiculous. Obviously there was some effort on pumping it a lot. Coinbase basically did one of the most basic mistakes fo

I'm talking about the full-node mode, not the fast-sync mode that doesn't fully verify the blockchain.

Vitalik keeps on endorsing ICOs while he promised he would stop due to the abuse of the schemes. He keeps promising things while the existing software keeps on failing due to bad design and not strict rules or guidelines. It takes weeks for

Neither am I, just in this case I know some context that lead me to this question. SegWit being pretty much the most important update to Bitcoin so far with a lot of advantages, I would expect that CB would give top priority on supporting i

Indeed, my suggestion was merely about an approachable secure way for everyday people. Business etc. have do as you say and have more sophisticated setups.

Also I wonder how it compares to the carbon footprint of the mining industry of gold.

by kbody 9y ago
Btw, do you have any engineers capable of working to upgrade the platform to use SegWit? I find it weird that Brian advertises open positions like there's nobody there capable of doing it.

Your tone showcases your emotions. I can send bitcoins to anyone that wants to accept them, anytime. I can send my USD only if my bank permits me to do so and depending on their schedule. That's one of the core values for me, however I

There's a very simple solution if you care about security. Buy a hardware wallet (e.g. Trezor in my example) note down the 24 words that are basically your privatekey. But enable the passphrase (25th word/phrase) which you type yo

Talking about clean-energy yet failing to compare CO2 emissions but merely refer to GWhrs is totally missing the point. Several big Bitcoin miners are setup near or just being powered by hydroelectric dams or other renewable energy sources.

Interesting project. I was wondering if you think they are any privacy issues around Certificate Transparency, like grouping ownership of domains through the timings.

Indeed, it would be nice to actually test the censorship resistance of these platforms. Although it will have to get quite big for Nintendo etc. to care. Then you have the side-channel attacks or rather entry attacks, where it would be easi

Is this a joke? It's presented a bit as a joke, but not sure.

Slight gripe: I'm pretty sure they own a lot of validating nodes.

I am mostly commenting on a big amount of comments deeming Bitcoin a failure or similar. The Bitcoin of ~a month ago is not the same as today, that's a big power, to have upgradable decentralized money. Certainly Bitcoin is not perfect
