I happen to know a few hackathon organizers and have an idea of how these things work under the hood. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. The reason Penn's hackathon is application only is that they literally can only support a certa

If you, like me, struggled through geometry class more than other math classes, or if you never managed to memorize the relationship between pi and sin/cos/tan, you should watch this. Personally, I think that tau is far more intui

I've been testing this out for a week or so. It's amazing what you can do, and the latency is not even close to as bad as I was expecting. They do some clever compression, so it's actually quite tolerable and a good option fo

I would recommend downloading the code and building from source on your own hardware or an EC2 instance (a medium sized instance should be good enough). Stellard repository: https://github.com/stellar/stellard You can

To be fair, I could've used better wording there. I simply meant that Stellar just launched a few weeks ago. I'm not trying to deceive anyone. As others have said, I do mention later on in the post that Stellar is a fork of Ripple
