With the availability of genetic sequencing you can get from anywhere A -> B in the reachable genetic search space through selective breeding, and still qualify for regulatory purposes as non-GMO. You can get out of that loophole by proh

Well it’s a free choice. You can make non look math systems that have unconditional privacy instead of unconditional inflation guarantees.

You can’t get rid of the requirement that this data be kept around. Either you implicitly have the validators keep it, which is what I assumed for simplicity, or you have the spender provide a Merkle proof, the generation of which requires

Mimblewimble used properly gets nearly the same benefits that you have in Monero (essentially non interactive coinjoin) but with scaling guarantees better than bitcoin. If it was possible to ring signatures like Monero has without the scali

The oyster example makes sense, although it is pretty exceptional given shellfish are basically harbor water filters. The Japan fish prohibition seems like overreacting. The effect from Fukushima on fishing from the pacific would not be mea

News flash : “nonGMO” crops are already genetically modified from wild plants, just through a more painstaking process of cross breeding and artificial selection over random mutations. This is already happening and would happen anyway.

That doesn’t solve the issue. It just pushes the responsibility of holding all this data onto the signer instead of the validator, which is a free choice. But signers are usually more space constrained than validators. And there is no conne

Maybe I've missed the author's point, but you've also missed mine. The fact that the phrase "peer review" dates to the 1970's doesn't mean the concept wasn't in use before. It was just called somethin

The other issue with zcash is an ever growing double-spend list. Monero also suffers this flaw, unfortunately. If either one scaled up to just bitcoin's level of activity, there'd be severe problems. Mimblewimble is far more likel

Then potentially you’re out your deposit, depending on the whims of the bankruptcy court. That’s life, and you knew what you were getting into (or should have known the risks).

Not necessarily, no. It’s just that a big company won’t take the publicity hit that would come from reneging on the pinky promise that they’d refund the deposit. Even where it is contractually provided for, the contract could be forceably r

The conclusion is not well founded. The fact that bitcoin does not correlate well with macro factors could just mean that the bitcoin ecosystem is too small. It is instead more responsive to internal developments than external pressures. Ho

Pre-sales have always been a thing. Tesla is a $60B company. Can they not presell the Model 3? Calling it crowdfunding is just a new branding of an old idea. I would argue the opposite—as a consumer I am considerably safer putting my presal
