Nope, that would be hugely unprofitable. To give you an idea: The P100 instances on Softlayer would cost around $2,000/mo, and would generate approximately $170/mo in ETH when fully optimized. One could probably build a DIY rig wi

You're right. They will start paying devs with tokens.

Their management team is mostly non-technical. So it's plausible they are viewing their stack as incredibly complex.

I am surprised they aren't doing an ICO.

According to Crunchbase, the CEO has a degree in Law/Business Economics. He probably felt this hiring approach was a) legal, and b) economical.

Loved this little gem: "keeps us from hiring engineers that end up being toxic to our long term goals and just looking for a pay day"

Didn't know they had an AMI like that. Thank you.

I've been using the P100 on Softlayer and was impressed. Looks like V100 may be 2..3x faster on some tasks, will be interesting to test it. P.S. with that memory speed, it can probably run 300..400MH/s on ETH.

I enjoyed reading this. You do have side projects, just not ones that require coding.

Millions. Klout still exists, apparently. I don't see many people referencing it anymore though.

Fun story: I once wrote a primitive Twitter bot as an experiment, and forgot about it. It's been running on a Raspberry Pi unattended for a few years now, tweeting random stuff and periodically "engaging" with a predefined se

"Replicants are like any other machine: they're either a benefit or a hazard." Yes. Make bots legitimate, with verified bot status for ones that are truthful and helpful to the end users.

Bots can be useful. Good bots (ones that don't pretend to be humans or ones that don't fake human engagement) should be allowed and regulated. The bad ones though ruin the experience for everyone (and defraud advertisers). I'

... here's a current example. Just saw this promoted tweet from Prudential on my timeline. It's already generating engagements (10 RTs, 38 Likes): https://twitter.com/Prudential/status/91847579547935129

I think it's possible.

That's impressions (even those can be gamed). If you promote a tweet or account on Twitter, you will get billed for Engagements (RTs, likes, follows). https://business.twitter.com/en/advertising/campaign-types

Bots generate engagements. "Engagements are new followers from Promoted Accounts and/or clicks, retweets or likes on Promoted Tweets. You will never be charged more than your maximum bid and you usually pay less." https:&#x2

Not too hard to prove, just need to know where to look. The problem isn't just bots, but fraud in general.

Some bots are not technically bots. There may be real people behind them, but they are "employed" by various agencies as proxies for RT/likes. Some do it manually, others employ automation. Also, many of the more prominent ac

This problem is much bigger than any of these articles seem to imply. I am also convinced that Twitter knew this all along. Unfortunately, bots don't just inflate user numbers for them, they create ad revenue. Additionally, the majorit
