It's the first app in a very long time that I downgraded to a previous version. Previous version is available from their download page.

It's an interesting proof-of-concept, and I like seeing the block transactions in real time, but kind of a poor game choice for the demo. I mean, nobody wants to play Space Invaders with 500ms lag between inputs.

The "S" and "Command" keys kept falling off on my '16 MBP. Replaced them at $12/piece a few days ago from an online store. My issue appears to have been the brackets on the keys themselves perhaps broke or wore

Not really. He basically says the Bitshares approach is unsound because it requires market forces to be > 0. I agree that you can't have a stable pegged asset when nobody wants to participate in that market. However, if nobody wants

This guy doesn't give Bitshares enough credit. His review from 2014 may hold water in a low liquid scenario, but even for a mildly strong market, it's always been a better alternative than, say, the magically backed world of Tethe

@mecha9 I think you're confusing CoinTracker.io for CoinTracking.info. Former got funding. Latter I haven't used.

I prefer CoinTracker over Bitcoin.Tax, but I hope they add the ability to import en masse for next year. I use a decentralized exchange (BitShares), and I had to switch from CoinTracker to Bitcoin.Tax because of a few thousand trades I had

One way to help might be to disable AP following an update for X days or weeks. Let AP run in a disabled simulation mode while you drive your normal routes. If it determines your course of action in any situation breaks the threshold of wha

We've done it exactly once (a month ago), and my wife noted that the products we often get were 25-30% more expensive via delivery.

Could major GPS issues become a nonstarter for the BFR intercontinental transport vision?

Blockchain tech is more than just Bitcoin. To ignore that at this stage in the game makes me think the author is a trader looking at the tech from an investment perspective.

Bug: https://emojipedia.org/smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes-and-th... I only want to express myself with 3 hearts, not 4, but now I'm being forced to use 4. This does not align with how I'm feeling. How insensitive

My hope is that there isn't a complete crash before some of the most unique and important ideas being built on blockchain technology have a chance to come to light. It might need a 2014 reset before it happens, but there are plenty o

I'm curious if it's related to the concept of push notifications. If I have my online network of friends configured in such a way so that I get a notification on my phone, I don't need to stay on Facebook all day wading throu

There are alternatives to Tether/USDT. TrueCoin is most similar to Tether. It's new, and they promise "transparency", and hopefully they learn from Tether's mistakes. Being completely transparent is the only option

I'm sure you'll get multiple answers, but Bitshares solved these problems in 2014 with Proof-of-Authority (aka Delegated Proof-of-Stake). Seconds between blocks produced, and the transaction fees are like $0.005 or something ridic

Yes. Consider that the ramp up in Bitcoin has been happening since June. I recall they were adding 50,000 accounts per day . Suddenly, all the new folks that haven't experienced a bloodbath before are all trying to jump on and sell. I

BitShares currently uses pegged assets like bitUSD. These assets use BTS as the collateral. Price of BTS fluctuates, but the pegged assets remain stable due to short selling/margin calls. ...but I'm not a trading or financial expe

Also, in case you glazed over the link to the recent Medium article, here it is: https://medium.com/@jamesbridle/something-is-wrong-on-the-in... I read it last night after the wife recommended it ... and wow.

Yeah, I just headed there for the first time in a while. DISAPPOINTED.

Only thing I wanted to comment on (as a remote worker now for 6 years or so) is that it's very hard for me to work more hours when, actually, I want to do so. In my dynamic (with young kids), any attempts to work later than 20 min past

Well, botnets and incentivized users are hard to tell apart. Incentivized users often appear to be bots, as their sole purpose for using Twitter is to get something from companies that want the numbers, and they often don't even bother
