Yeah, there are also bottle caps which can be used as currency! But seriously, don't call those "alternatives" if they are not secure. There is no known replacement for PoW.

If you use Google products, you are gonna have a bad time. Find alternatives and become free. You don't need to replace everything at the same time, you can do it one product at a time.

And when everything fails, just pull a straw man! Right?

It's not an "alternative", it's a store of value by its own merit, and has been so for thousands of years, while paper money is pretty recent and is by no means a good store of value or even a good medium of exchange, wi

You didn't just compare macroeconomics to actual sciences, did you?

And we all know that "mainstream economists" are a good source for unbiased opinions.

There is not "also Proof of Stake", because it's a flawed concept. What's at stake? Nothing. You can sell your coins before starting an attack, so you wouldn't be attacking yourself like you would with Bitcoin and p

First of all, the number of transactions Bitcoin can make per unit of time is not set in stone, it depends on certain variables that will be adjusted over time. And it is a distributed system anyway, what did you expect? You can't have

Unfortunately, it's not viable. Proof of work needs to be "wasteful" (if you can consider validating transactions and keeping the network safe wasteful). I don't understand why so many people get angry at Bitcoin's

Don't forget to mention that their consensus algorithm simply doesn't work. That's why they made it 100% centralized "temporarily" (without even asking, so apparently it was 100% centralized even before that). They

How do you know it's not what I want? Why do you think they should make such a decision for me?

I addressed that in other comment: I don't want to have to rely on that. For starters, there is no real data about that, just anecdotes. How do I know they will reimburse non-US customers too? Many companies have that policy: They prot

Like it or not this is a problem many of us have, and are avoiding AWS for that sole reason. You can keep blaming the victim, or you can accept not being able to set up a limit is a usability problem. It's like saying "this websit

How is being able to set up a $ limit "holding my hand"? You guys are defending something that is indefensible. I don't want to "play" with VPS servers, I want to work knowing that I won't go bankrupt just beca

All the warnings in the world can't replace a configurable $ limit. We don't want to have to rely on them "forgiving" us if we make a mistake.

So you never heard of multi-signature? You can have that even on Coinbase.

by oafitupa 12y ago
It's not scary, and by looking at your comment history it's pretty obvious you have an agenda against Bitcoin, and you are trying to promote your PoS (a flawed concept) altcoins, probably just because you can't stand that som

One day blockchain.info stopped working for me (I think they mistakenly banned lots of IPs). And yes, I simply withdrew my money out of it. I just loaded my private key in a mobile wallet and swept the coins. Apparently Coinbase now offers

Of course for some of us it's unacceptable. And we can simply not use it. Personally, I have never even used exchanges like MtGox, only Localbitcoins.

And while you are bashing PHP, actual professionals use it all the time and don't fall for those noob mistakes. Learn some Symfony2.

Am I? See my other reply. And now I think you are the one trick pony, who thinks switching languages from the same paradigm is a challenge.

by oafitupa 12y ago
As someone who has mastered Symfony2, learning Ruby on Rails was a walk in the park. There weren't any new concepts to learn, just syntax. In my experience those concepts are not language-specific. More like platform (eg: web) or parad

by oafitupa 12y ago
Why bother learning another language that is almost the same, like PHP and Ruby? In both you need to keep up with lots of dependencies and practices that keep popping up, and it's a waste of time doing it for both in parallel. I'd
