You'll notice I didn't use the word government or regulation in my message. As I said I'm not so sure a knee-jerk response like regulation is the answer right now, but that there might be some intermediate steps that would ke

I don't think an all-or-nothing knee-jerk approach is helpful here. 1) Should you have the right to do what you please with the data you create on a platform? Should companies be able to deny you this right? What should their obligatio

Right, I'm saying the exchange isn't actually solvent. The "cash balance" on the fraudulent buyer account wasn't backed by any actual cash deposit or proceeds from BTC sale, it's just a column in a database tab

In the MtGox case, the exchange was (allegedly) fraudulently buying BTC with cash that didn't exist, which could theoretically continue for as long as they have enough cash on hand to satisfy withdrawal requests. IANAL but in the US th

I think the argument being made is one worth evaluating: "In fact, if they'd waited three more quarters to do the IPO — meaning right here — the stock likely wouldn't be anywhere near this high. With these numbers, you know w

Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are safe and effective together. The label you refer to advises against using other medicines that contain acetaminophen , as many cold and allergy medicines do (Excedrin, NyQuil, Robitussin). The thing you want

It's both. It's a bug in a library that wallet contracts import. Everything is working perfectly as intended on the Ethereum/Solidity end.

By that standard "A major wallet vulnerability" would probably be more perfectly accurate.

I think the mindset is probably closer to "tens of thousands of people each year are needlessly dying a preventable death, and many times more people are injured" With that ideology, you are already ready to give up control of the

Political leaders are far from the biggest worry compared to command and control of their vast nuclear arsenals. More eyes on less weapons mitigates that. After all, several nuclear weapons have gone missing by the US and several dozen are

Even if it could exist in this timeframe, how much would it cost? The issue I have with their viewpoint is that there doesn't seem to be any baseline for "good enough" that is short of absolute perfection forever (assuming ad

Given the intelligence alliances that we know exist and the likely many that we aren't aware of, it's not only possible but probable.

Not sure if you actually think this is only one side doing this, but just substitute "hitler" for "communist" from the right, with the same fears and motivations. There's no excusing either, but let's discuss t

Sorry, I wasn't referring to Bitcoin in particular, I'm only referring to the underlying decentralized blockchain technologies themselves.

I know you specify only "most coins", but it's worth mentioning that currently Bitcoin transaction fees for a simple transaction involving only 1 input at current USD exchange rate is about $3.

I think it has more to do with price anchoring the 128GB one, to make it look like a great value compared to the 32GB, since another large price bump only brings you another doubling of (dubiously useful) storage from there. Also, 32GB is b
