Also more excited about Raiden. Sad there isn't much more information about it. From my understanding, the thing I like about payment channels is that the capacity of the payment channel depends on how much of the cryptocurrency is dep

In the federal venue, can he appeal the securities counts in isolation of the things he was found not guilty of? Conspiracy charges are always weak, if you can afford a constitutional law to argue on expression grounds. Has he expressed int

Mixers are so 2012 though. Its 2017 and you just discovered mixers, immediately noticed the obvious potential flaw in mixers but not even the good flaws, and didn't consider every other improvement over the last HALF DECADE. Yeah Inter

I think we agree that we should address it, but I have heard .... things. The understanding of this topic is a wide gradient, with lots of incomplete and incorrect information repeated by authoritative political figures including Presidents

Over the past month there have been several airdrops to bitcoin holders based on snapshots of bitcoin's blockchain. Stellar Lumens had an airdrop Byteball had an airdrop and there are many more, let alone bitcoin forks. These are all v

As someone that deals with political parties and regulatory regimes in many countries at once, diversify your political isn't silly at all. Or at least I feel like being unsubscribed from one countries politics has only given me advant

HIRED has a report out which reveals demographics on what the employees themselves ask for, and what employers offered them. It reveals, as in a piece of data that wasn't typically part of the conversation, that some groups ask for les

yep, when full (or when there are more than 1mb of unconfirmed tx) these chains function differently. if it wasn't clear, I was writing that they are practically empty right now. at the time of writing.

So an interpretation to support an ideal despite the optional nature of payment channels, got it. I had ctrl+f "payment channels" and got zero results. Payment channels, as described by the lightning network, are optional. The mem

In several interviews I've been questioned about the importance of my contributions throughout my entire career because the apps sizes were so small (typically 8 - 12 mb) When asked it was clear they'd already made up their mind,

out of curiosity which part? the 9 year old white paper never mentions payment channels this isn't an opinion about any bitcoin fork, just curiosity about what you are referring to. you say its not hard to read satoshi's words, bu

"get away"? His fund didn't go insolvent, many investors did redeem their stake in his funds when their lockup periods were up, and he has enough interest and clout to continue? I'm not sure what you are asking. Its word

The fund's holdings are known, and the fund manager's dispositions are easily inferred by how much they talk about something. ie. How married they are to a position. So for example, when Valeant Pharmaceauticals was tanking from i

Herbalife was too rich for the FTC to find it an illegal financial scheme, subsequently and simultaneously Bill Ackman got squeezed pretty hard on that and several of his other bets. He still has a group of followers because he's rich

It just depends on how you do it. Just because you have more money than the liquidity of the market doesn't mean your buy and sells are market manipulation. I have bought things on the open market 100% above the prior market price, whe

I agree with you, but you simply can't do any business with that logic because all of your affiliates have to treat your tokens different if they are or are not securities. Exchanges have to have assurances that they are not securities

This is a fluid development, but basically until Stox proves that it isn't a security, then securities regulations apply. In this case it means lots of disclosures for safe harbor from litigation when it goes bust. (PSLRA) How is it di

I was going to write something similar. It is extremely odd timing to write that the same week bitcoin is getting upgraded to be able to compete with VISA level payment networks. Its like, sure, maybe any other time over the last eight year

At least I finally have comfort in my 2011 decisions not to buy bitcoin for $2 each with my little disposable cash: "I'm not sending my living money to a sketchy exchange in Japan" This is the exact sketchy kind of thing I im

But thats not what parent's comment was about either. And even yours seems to be about not overextending yourself so that you have disposable income/capital to do more with. Is that the crux of your argument? Maybe the general dis

But a McMansion would give you all those things too and work better at it. Oh I see, if you can actually afford it, that came to mind while I was typing this. Is your advice primarily against over leveraging?

I only hear about the hackers that empty addresses and wondered if they could be more effective by slowly draining. Well now know turns out the biggest one was doing just that

The crux of the BTC-E event seems to be from blockchain analysis, given the information we have. In which case Monero would have stopped this investigation. In general though, the currency has nothing to do with the exchange's problems

The Monero daemon does not know what addresses the deposits came from. So even if the server was seized there would not be any information to glean about this. Withdrawals in the db may have addresses and amounts, although RingCT upgrades m

What scenario are you describing exactly? What exact problem are you trying to thwart? A server containing a user's trade histories would show amounts deposited with Monero. But it would not contain the addresses those deposits came fr
