That seems like a poor idea when the collapse of this project was preceded by their failing token doubling in price before falling to zero. You’d need an unknown amount of collateral for an unknown period of time.

Are you suggesting that it's necessary to write your own software and build your own hardware in order for it to securely store a private key?

Why don’t you want me to be required for transfers? You already depend on me for redeeming your coins for USD, so depending on me for transfers doesn’t present any additional risk.

Yes, the very basis of LN is secure forwarding between payment channels. Alice wants to send 1 BTC to Bob. Alice is connected — via a payment channel — to Mallory, and Mallory is connected to Bob. To do this Alice can send 1 BTC to Mallory,

Why is no one pointing out that, in order to receive bitcoins on the Lightning Network (LN), you need to lock bitcoins in a payment channel? So, if a consumer wants to send bitcoins to a merchant, either the consumer needs to lock up bitcoi

Why does it matter? They owe you the money in the first place. If they’re ill-intentioned they can just refuse to redeem your coins, or require that you send them to a new contract with different rules. There’s no reason credit instruments

Imagine 32GB of this V-Cache instead of RAM. Does each additional layer add latency? If so, I wonder how many layers you could have until it would reach RAM-equivalent latencies. Also, it would require a compiler change if you had 500 sec

That’s not obvious to me at all. I comment on both YouTube and HN, and I don’t feel I’m part of any “community”. I just think the quality of the average, highly upvoted HN comment is about 100 times greater than the equivalent YouTube comme
