Signalling and node software are not coupled. The point of this is to see how each node software behaves, there are miners that don't run Segwit2x/BTC1 but rather Segsignal.

You should add SEGSIGNAL/BIP91 https://github.com/segsignal/bitcoin which is at the moment the lead for starting the activation.

Clearly there's an association to Bitcoin and there are certain expectations by people when mentioning blockchain. It's justified since blockchain on its own is a relatively simple data structure which on itself is not that signif

You still would need just 1 participant, it's the computation part that would be open to any number participants in order to reduce the possibility of collusion.

I appreciate the research of zcash, but trusted-setup is still just a very sophisticated security theater. The least they should have done is have constructed an open participation.

Just like on the tweets mentions but zooko didn't reply to; what about just having a zaddr cleaning those coins? KYC/AML already exists on (most) exchanges.

In the past 2 jobs even though it was just small startups with less than 5 devs, we used them in relatively critical or complex cases, but it wasn't anything formal (e.g. for every major component introduced do this). I personally like

Not if you include all the puppeteering done by Joe Lubin and Consensys on Ethereum "Foundation" and organized bumping with ICOs coordination. Business aside, the tech is full of shortcuts and snakeoil. So far they haven't do

That was before the PBoC jumped in and added heavy KYC. Korea was/is big on the ETH/ETC/ICO bubble. But the true height of the bubble was caused by the west with all the Facebook/Youtube/Twitter shilling for big ric

I'm quite surprised by the answers. The truth is that Ethereum's success comes from the seemingly ease of the Solidity. It made it possible to have a crazy amount of developer jump in. As a Node.js developer, it was effortless to

So ironic to read "decentralized (no one controls them)" coming from the leader of ETH that made the decision to fork ETH and revert transactions related to the DAO hack.

I was using "2X" to take the least ridiculous scenario as an example.

by kbody 9y ago
One issue is that not even the devs[1] working on these challenges dare to make claims like "2x scaling". Because it's a ridiculous statement since "scaling" is not just TPS and it's a more complicated topic. T

I have hard time believing that a knowledgeable person would have numbers on the scaling improvement column on the scaling efforts list. "3-10x" for ditching EVM for WASM which is at a concept phase, "2-8x" for parallel

Exactly, I think one reason why this trend hasn't stopped while most of the fellow devs I know are sick of it, is that JS attracts a lot of new devs. Being new they start developing on JS/React, but they don't have the painfu

This is a common argument, but the state is quite different. Ethereum has supposedly 34k nodes, which includes light-nodes which merely hold the last state of the blockchain, that is not a full-node and heavily reduces the trustlessness and

There's Ethereum Classic with is the original chain that survived the hard fork without the "reversion", which has $2B market-cap if that matters. But more than that it has fans that believe in Ethereum but know the value of

This case feels so closely to the very interesting case of Aviva France[1], where a not "well-futureproofed" life insurance contract is making a person very rich by the day. Unfortunately for Aviva, their contracts are actually la

There's a big difference between being and actually making use of such anti-patterns. Especially on such a scale.

Same here, until the recent weeks. Suddenly it started having issues where messages don't show up until I restart the client, while they show up fine on my mobile. It's certainly a business move to make Linux experience worse, I d

Last time I checked none of the coins were ever moved and in general ransomware earnings are not moved. They're just waiting for fungibility on Bitcoin.

It's easy to find out the total. There's even a twitter bot[1] reporting it. At the moment the total is 44.98BTC = $80,925. I'd argue ofc it's more because there are some variations of the worm that's not being acco

I can only comment about `getInitialProps()`. Of course it's should be on client-side as well, that's the whole point of universal rendering. In combination with isomorphic-fetch you can use your (Rest) API and have nothing to cha

Also, beware that the marketcap figures are not quite true [1]. They calculate based on the total supply rather than the circulated supply and on some (scam)cases like the recent Gnosis ICO it results in crazy amounts. [1]: https:/&#x
