Tbh, I don't get your analogy, why should the miners be looked at as bodyguards? While I agree the miners are responsible for protecting the network, I don't think you can draw a distinction that easily between an eth holder vs a

OVH actually does a really good job when it comes to DDoS protection. They can take some really big attacks and slow it down just enough so you firewall rules can take care of the rest. From all the hosting providers I have used, they are t

So what do you propose we do? Do we create the energy police and tell people what you can and cannot do with energy? Do we stop people from mindlessly browsing the internet? This argument really annoys me because, bitcoin has a purpose, I c

Which is my point actually, there are many platforms and technology already that let artists allow their users to download their art without incurring a huge cost. A relatively good torrent seed box costs around just 5 usd. So thanks to cur
