Some reports that this was related to compromised OAuth tokens. How would someone know and what is the source of the compromise? A third party app that all of these accounts use?

This must be a twitter exploit. Just too many high profile accounts have been pushing out scams at the same time.

Feels more like a twitter exploit. Just about every prominent crypto account is pushing this scam out.

Run git on a personal server[1]? It's not as complicated as you might think. Probably much more usable to setup gitlab. Then set up the alternative remote on your repos. [1] https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/

Good point, I had taken the mechanism for granted. So the scenario is that miners drop off at a pace where you don't reach the next adjustment? Taking that into account, the "mining death spiral" theory doesn't seem too

The adjustment happens every 2 weeks. It's unlikely that miners would go offline simultaneously across the globe to the extent that it would completely grind the network to a halt.

"The path to decentralisation" for these projects are usually very primitive and don't actually arrive at the broad claims. Too often it's just putting wall paper over the hole in the wall. A DAO it self doesn't bri

I've also been keeping an eye on Braver. There was an initial flurry of work that seemed to have gotten it to a decent point but no activity since.

Thanks, that was a mistake. I've corrected it.

This is great. I especially like that it follows the protocol's implementation for the most part. i.e. you still have utxos and script verification even if it doesn't actually support the array of script op codes. There is a fully

The article mentions the hash is required to begin with a certain number of 0s in hex digits (half byte) whereas the Bitcoin whitepaper refers to it as number of bits. I'm unsure about the comparison (== or >) but the whitepaper see

(author here) Absolutely. Thanks for pointing this out. If difficulty adjusted in factors of two, the ability of the network to accurately maintain its 10 mins blocktime become impaired. I try to keep these concepts rather simplified to eas

I'm not sure it's accurate to say that doing open source gives you "complete freedom". In some way, you are responsible to your contributors / users and they are kind of paying your bills.

It's probably worth noting the horrible privacy characteristics of Ethereum. With the right resources, It's straightforward to track down the identity behind the seeders.

Zoom can either a) Keep their moral code and be happy in the idea that they will probably be cut off from that market (China) or b) Drop their morals, appease to the local laws as unjust as they may be in the hope that their business there
