Thank you! Only those with a short memory equate money exclusively with government.

The company wants values. You want time. It's a relationship for mutual benefit.

I'm not sure what your comment has to do with mine... I just know that to conservatively report, Coinbase includes withdrawals that are still in cryptocurrency as sales. You see why that might be a tax issue I imagine

by mhluongo 9y ago
It is. Coinbase has to consider all withdrawals for these purposes as sales, IIRC. It's not just reporting gains

Yes, the initial request was a fishing expedition in direct contradiction of IRS rules on the matter. Here's prior discussion in lieu of a proper citation [0]. [0] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13007310

> If it's on Ethereum, it's not decentralised. You didn't mention it not being a blockchain. Words matter. I think the fork was a mistake as well, but that doesn't make something centralized.

You can he decentralized and mutable...

by mhluongo 9y ago
That certainly depends- Ethereum didn't sell equity and investors in the pre-sale did very well.

There's a private whitepaper floating around.

Recovering Bitcoin maximalist here. Recall Ethereum has second layer solutions as well.

Language isn't prescriptive, get over it.

Or the same, or gasp lower?.. The STEM condescension is pretty intense here.

IIRC Datomic is open-source, just not freely licensed? Bitcoin is also definitely an open-source immutable database ;) EDIT: Maybe not, wow.

Not sure why this is getting down voted. It's true- Ethereum is still based on PoW, and hasn't started the transition to PoS (Casper's FFG is still in dev).

The EVM is the runtime, not the language. WASM would be great though. A couple new projects are using it (eg Dfinity)

Duh, Viper is what I meant- thanks :)
319.
by mhluongo 9y ago
Yep, anyone interested in taking a crack can write a language that compiles down to the Low-level Lisp-like Language (LLL) intermediate lang. There are a couple projects working on it (eg Viper), though many seems to prefer starting a new b

You can bootstrap a Sybil-resistant system using PoW or some other method. This is one building block.

Publicly verifiable randomness is possible without relying on astronomical events. Check out threshold relay by the Dfinity team (which we're porting to Ethereum), or RandHound and RandHerd [1]. 1 - https://eprint.iacr.org&#

They do! But usually they get shifted elsewhere. While he was working on this post James and I discussed how PoS might yield stronger incentives to DoS rivals and get an advantage, since some of these other optimizations (attacks? Unclear)

You should always think about how your investors can help you, and ask them for it. It's about engagement, sure. But it's also about realizing that you need to better leverage your network and supporters. Investors can't help

Gitcoin already exists :) https://gitcoin.co/

Neither of those is true, lol

Part of this position is to help take us cross-currency.

Some exchanges use Blockstream's Liquid federated sidechain to do inter-exchange settlement. Agreed though, payment channels have been around a long time.

Ryan X. Charles at Yours comes to mind. Many technical founders of Bitcoin co's were behind SegWit2x, which flamed out spectacularly, and some are switching to Bitcoin Cash- eg Stephen Pair of BitPay.
