That is pretty cool! So, basically, if a merchant requests payment of $5 and the buyer only has a $4 and a $3 token then the buyer exchanges her $3 token for three $1 tokens with the exchange (without involvement of the merchant) and then

Slightly off topic: I use Google Cloud’s built in auto-scaling for instance groups, and I’m very happy with it. It offers a reasonable GUI, and a way for me to scale VM instances up and down based on e.g. CPU usage. It seems to do 80% of wh

What is the denomination of these tokens? Do I hand over 500 one-cent tokens to pay $5?

It’s not centralized. It’s not distributed, like Bitcoin, but there is no central party baked into the protocol. Everyone’s free to become an issuer. It’s like email or git: requires a central server to work, but is a decentralized system b

Comparing Taler to Bitcoin is not appropriate since Bitcoin could be the very monetary unit that is used as the denomination of payment amounts on the Taler network. In other words, Taler is a protocol that is deployed on top of Bitcoin,

25% of the available space gone after four years could very well be a problem. Also, if writes continue at the same rate then wear will increase exponentially, as the same number of writes are distributed over an increasingly smaller amount

It will probably end up this way. “ All outputs in the Bitcoin transaction with hash <...> are illegal to redeem. ” This, however, means that criminals (who don’t care about the law) can still use these segregated Bitcoin to transact

This sounds like a cool idea, but I don’t think it’s very usable in practice. At least not when using SSD/HDD for storage, where — in my experience — CPU time never exceeds 50% of the time spent executing a query. This means that the

Thank you. I'm super familiar with the backend, but I know it's written in Node.js and that the current authentication solution uses express and passport with a custom table in the Postgres database.

How does a monolith solve dependency cycles, assuming you don’t put all your code in the same module?

How does versioning work? Is it required that all VM instances run the same version?

Sincere question: why would I want to use Podman over Docker? What does being "daemonless" actually buy me in practice?

No, the idea of Bitcoin is to have an asset that you can withdraw from the financial system. This is only possible in our current financial system if you want to take delivery of physical bank notes.

Commodity money has existed for thousands of years. There is a much better explanation for the 1929 crash than "gold broke all of the sudden". In short: The international gold standard did not collapse during the 1930’s because o
