I apologize in advance for the following unsolicited advice, but if there's anything that should have been learned from the press after the Gox implosion, it's that you absolutely must stay ahead on security and the perception of

I think we're going to have to face the music soon: credit cards are a broken transaction mechanism. They have a basic security model that's decades old, with only a few patches over time. The truth is that a credit card has no

I disagree. This is also a technical problem. Good engineers need to keep working to minimize the possibility of MITMs in their purview. It's a technical arms race. Also, even if you solve the political problem in one country, you stil

Postcodes? Transport timetables? Maps? This is an open data metric conceived by the creators of Sim City. What's important is what data they have, not what data a primitive city-state might have. And the resultant list is a complete

You're right; I failed to consider the possibility that this website stores integers in the unobservable universe. My bad.

A particulate sensor can be used to cheaply monitor the appropriate size range for pollen. Of course, it just senses light scattering, so other air polluting particulates of a similar size will be indistinguishable. Large particulates great

That sounds a bit speculative. If someone has a link that shows one of these "non-canonical transactions," that might lend some credence to the idea. Furthermore, if Gox was always issuing weird transaction formats, then looki

Another point is that evidence of significant tx-mal can't be found on the block chain prior to Feb 9 [1]. Now, it's possible that the search wasn't thorough enough, but I find that unlikely. Any reissued transactions must

Just to be clear, Doge tipping is mostly not happening on the blockchain. These transactions are only transacting on the chain when people cash in or out of a tipbot.

This is misinformation, Shibes. Mean (random) block reward halves every 100k blocks for the first 600k blocks, after which it will be 10k reward indefinitely. The first halving will happen in less than two weeks, at that point, 50b doge w

Taking your numbers at face value, it seems the problem you're having is the epidemiological interpretation of risk as it pertains to patient populations. You can decide for yourself if a 1/2600 risk is acceptable to you, but doc
