Awesome interview, thanks for the link. The end of the interview where Chomsky describes the Internet as a double-edged sword and (correctly) suggests that it could turn into "a home-marketing service, and a way of marginalizing people

I think these are more questions about Gaia than Stealthy, but apply to any multi-user application on Blockstack: - How are my messages to another user retrieved from my encrypted storage? - Does sending you a message push the message into

Can the final transaction to the network (that closes a channel) be a series of transactions? In other words, can a state channel allow for transactions with more than 100 operations?

Can any Stellar operation be used within a state channel, and as a result, can any Stellar transaction be sent through the LN? For example, my use case requires users increasing and decreasing the limits on trustlines between them and anoth

Speed? No, not really in comparison to any other LN implementation. But Stellar will be supporting state channels in addition to payment channels, (presumably) allowing for even faster exchange operations (buy/sell market and limit ord

This is awesome work, and a great example of the kinds of civic analysis and action developers can take to make their cities and communities better, or at least more informed of the reality they operate within. Also, wanted to applaud and s

When was the last time you spent $FB on food or rent?

I don't think it's accurate to say that the risk of spending $1 per Bitcoin in 2011 is proportional to the $4000 reward I have today.

Well it's pretty easy to spend an asset that's consistently increasing in value... the real test of it's utility as money is how many businesses and people have started accepting Bitcoin recently.

I'd argue intensity is as, if not more, important than just "statistics." A source that tells one lie that starts a war is much worse IMO than one that tells 99 lies about celebrity pets.

What's laughable? You can choose which businesses you want to interact with anytime you want, and if you don't like their policies, choose someone else. While you can "choose" a politician, you get whoever the group chos
