I don't have evidence why they do not choose tech carriers. But I know that as a kid I was fascinated by being able to program a computer. I have seen many-many likeminded boys in the demoscene (in eastern Europe), but not a single gir

The market is growing slowly, but it is very small yet. Personally I don't want it to grow too fast just yet, because I need time to develop/strengthen my bootstapped VR 3D editor product before the highly funded competitors enter

Agile, MVP, Iterative development: these are common knowledge by now. But I think there are problem spaces where this does not really work becasue even an MVP must be huge, otherwise users will simply ignore the product. You cannot write a

I am wondering whether this is also a problem in game development or not. In game development to create a game often you need an even more broad skillset in your organization than in web frontend developemnt. Can frontend development learn

0 based arrays is objectively the preferred way for me and not for historical reasons. I write a lot of low level graphics algorithm stuff, and 1-based arrays would complicate index arithmetic. like now with everything 0 based having someth

I am programming since my childhood and I am now 44 years old. For a long time I thought that I enjoy programming. Later I realized that what I enjoy cannot be categorized that way. I cannot even easily put it into words, but largely I enjo

The problem with teaching programming in functional languages is that those languages use a different PARADIGM than imperative languages. Learning the functional paradigm is very useful, but it cannot replace programming in like C. They are

If cryptocurrencies really succeed, we will not need a centralized service like Stripe. Hopefully we will use a 'decentralized Stripe' (as far as I know the Dash Evolution platform will be sometinhg like that. Maybe that is the re

If you already adopt it as a store of value it can be convenient to use it also for payment if: - it is convenient - has low transaction fees - fast But I agree, store of value is the most realistic mainstream usecase of cryptos.

I speculate that at first people want to use it as a store of value, but after a critical amount of holders, and having a lighting network, users and merchants could also adopt it as a currency. A conservative scenario is that cryptocurrenc

by nadam 9y ago
The vision of the BTC community is that on-chain scalability for payment has no chance anyway (1MByte is capable of 5 orders of magniutde less tx/sec than VISA), so using second layer methods (like lighting network) to do payment is ab

These "bitcoin = tulip maina = .com bubble" articles get a bit boring after a while especially if one is relatively deeply involved with the space. This has been discussed at very great depths thousands of times already. What show

by nadam 9y ago
Yes go for it. A well articulated communication on technical details of IOTA scalability is needed, and I think the whitepaper need to be upgraded with such information.

The author describes the database the nodes maintain, and the consensus algorithm in great detail (which is much much more complicated than the consensus algorithm of any blockchain in the industry), but does not say a word about scalabilit

Yes.

IOTA is the only big cryptocurrency that seems extremely fishy to me. The trick is that even a fairly technical person (like me) cannot easily refute it based on the whitepaper, because the whitepaper is intentionally indecipherable, and do

I see 3 scenarios right now: 1. Bitcoin + lighting network solves everything 2. Bitcoin's dominance ends and a more scalable payment-focused currency start to dominate (like Dash) 3. Bitcoin remains the main store of value, and people

One can argue that Dash is superior for payment. But because of network effects and bitcoin's battle tested security (and utility as store of value or settlement layer) even I as a big (but not fanatic) Dash fan hold more Bitcoin than

Token holders vote for 21 block producers. Pretty much all of these block producers have to be controlled by the same malicious party so that an invalid transaction could go through unnoticed. (In fact I think even more than 21 nodes will t

Dash has a clear vision to be a payment-focused cryptocurrency, and has important features to achieve this: relatively high transaction throughput (2MB blocks at every 2.5minutes (obviously they have a roadmap to further improve this)), pri

IOTA fans say that IOA is scalable and capable of microtransactions. They often say that it gets faster and faster as there are more transactions, which seem to be an incredible bullshit to me. I started to read the whitepaper, but I just d

I just noticed that when I mention it on HN or /r/cryptocurrency I am downvoted to hell. First I did not know what it is. We have discussed it on the dash subreddit, and seemingly fans of other coins hate and FUD Dash with passion
