Thanks, I tried Blender but had to do research to learn to use it properly or "get it". On the other hand I used OpenSCAD and being used to code it really fit my mindset, thank you! In a few hours I had what I had in mind in a STL

I'll focus on one thing that's fitting and haven't been mentioned. It's about Opendime ( https://opendime.com/ ) which brands itself as a Bitcoin credit stick. It's like a USB stick but it stores i

I remember there was similar noise with Ben a while back about a similar "outcry", but this time (along with the general IRL environment) it seems stronger. There has to be a general attitude of focusing on what matters and not im

Appreciate your work. In a sense it's similar to talking on the phone and being recorded by a security camera. If anyone thought that using Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency for purchases magically hides any side-channel privacy leaks, I w

This sounds a very Erdogan-ish thing to do. Sad times.

We need more dumb-pipe-like services. It's one to fight SOPA-PIPA for something that affects directly your users and your business and it's another to being "forced" by pressure on social matters that don't directly

Filecoin is a completely different beast than IPFS. Based on the Filecoin whitepaper, it requires the creation of 2 new proof mechanisms "Proof-of-Replication" and "Proof-of-Spacetime" which are not well-defined at all o

I've known the pains of debit cards even before Bitcoin, so I keep limited money there. Loading usually takes less than an hour.

Managing volatility is interesting. Some eliminate it by going fiat and keeping funds on exchanges. Even if it's the easiest way of handling it, I go a different way because I also see it as an long-term investment, so I'm happy t

Exactly, so many times I've seen BTC price reaches $X. A Github repo of the R files for a public review would be nice.

I can spend any amount I want without being restricting by anyone, that's pretty basic, but in some countries you just can't do that. I personally have found ways and can manage Bitcoin's volatility just fine (relatively pred

I guess that might be the majority of the situation, but for me personally it's been a lifesaver. Capital controls don't matter, I don't need a bank account, I pay whatever I can with bitcoin and if not possible I use my debi

He's probably the only one, it's a surprise they haven't ostracised him already. (Btw your response is close to step #3 on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14838148 :P ) At least Vitalik & Gavin Woods

Keep in mind, that there's an big amount of propaganda going on in the comments and a lot of selective arguments floating, so don't take a single comment for an absolute truth. (including this comment) One thing is for sure, that

You also forget Confidential Transactions. How can you do any kind of useful downstream or source analysis when you don't know the amounts and you have stealth addresses? Also you can have huge amount of mixins which use the total pool

How are Confidential Transactions in combination with Ring Signatures not way better than Bitcoin+CoinJoin? If you focus on the transactions after the RingCT merge and not older 0-mixins, it's seems pretty strong to me.

Got downvoted for some reason, I guess some people don't understand how crucial this is. BIP91 was signaled mostly with this node software. This node is what matters the most since it will show if miners get reorged.
