Those are not mistakes, they [the leaders] benefit directly from that.

"One could argue that a block chain fork could invalidate an arbitrary number of blocks at any time, and therefore the Bitcoin protocol does not by itself have this property of being able to tell which transactions really happened.&quo

I agree that Stellar is "obviously inferior". If you want a centralized system, just use your bank, Paypal or whatever. Nobody was claiming that Bitcoin, a distributed system, was more efficient computing than other systems. The w

Because it's stupid? Why peg millions of dollars to a currency with no security?

So you just copy/pasted Counterparty's code too? Do you have any plans on providing something of value, or only copycats?

Seems like you don't know what Counterparty is.

Why are you trying to spread that falsehood? How is dogecoin "already the cryptocurrency of Reddit"? It wasn't created by Reddit, no one in Reddit is using it (except r/dogecoin and related subs), and it's supposed

Stellar? What kind of joke is this? Why go with some small, centralized currency created by a private company (and owned by it to some degree), instead of going with the most adopted, most secure, most serious of all, and decentralized: Bit

Yep, I solved several Math and Physics problems for school (I used to get into competitions), understood a martials arts technique (it was taught to us but nobody could make it work. In my dream I fought someone but I saw everything upside

Not necessarily; it could be, but it certainly wouldn't happen quickly. Here you have several possibilities explained by Dawkins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHDCAllQgS0

Bytecoin falls in the scam, yes. But the Monero community fixed this quite fast.

Yes, yes, they now admit it because they got caught. That doesn't change the way they presented it when it was launched.

More than once I was studying something in completely unrelated fields (eg: quantum mechanics, biology, game theory), when suddenly von Neumann (who I first knew for his contributions to computer science) is mentioned and I'm like &quo

Can't you do the same without programming it though? I don't think I could have fun playing a game I programmed for someone else.

Can you answer the question?

Engineers have to work with what they have. Do you disagree that he made the right decision? Is there solid evidence that these countries are engaging in the same stuff as the NSA?

Wow, that's horrible. So what do you recommend?

Bitcoin is better IMO. But I agree that email is a great thing. I hope someone creates a sick email client that turns back the flow from Facebook to the email. I'm fine with Thunderbird + Enigmail, but I don't see the average pers

That's not a problem, it's a feature. It's like saying "the problem with gold is that you can't recover it". But that's precisely what gold holders want: Not letting the government "recover" it (

Bitcoin is targeted because it's a digital asset, true digital cash. Banks don't have that. You can never really own your bank money in digital form, it always stays in the bank's computers.

Sounds like a problem with computers, not Bitcoin.

I don't think that 5-line function will be understandable by the next programmer who has to deal with it though. That's my point. It probably involves a Fibonacci or other math trickery that not everyone might have fresh in their

I see, you had to complete the sterotype as a Bitcoin hater so you added that you want to short soooo badly but you only don't do it because it's not possible yet. Which of course, like everything else you said, is wrong ;) > b

How do you explain the amount of time you dedicate to investigate and attack Bitcoin? Not saying that you are well informed though because most of what you've said is just wrong, but still it's pretty weird if you ask me. Especial

Why would I want to use any pc in the world? That makes no sense unless your work doesn't involve security of any kind. Besides you can carry your work environment using a virtual machine too.
