You can't judge any cryptocurrency by the number of stores that accept it because they all fail at that. Go to any random city and you can probably count the number of locations that take bitcoin on one hand and half of those probably

From what I could find quickly Toronto has over 2.5x as many new condo development projects under way.

Plenty of larger units towards the edge of the city. The core is for DINKs.

You can get a 1+1 for $500k downtown. You can get a 2 bedded for 300k is Saugua. Where did you get that it has some of the highest ppsf? A quick search shows just about every other major city I could check being higher.

Toronto is pretty cheap for a city of its size.

The biggest problem both cities have is that everyone seems to only want a detached house. Condos are cheap in Toronto and they pump them out constantly but everyone still wants a fully detached house.

So their entire business model is lightning which came around 2 years after they launched? How did they convince investors to give them $76m prior to their entire business model existing?

The ones at my gym would be fine since they seem to be about 15cm wider. Mine is fine for running but when walking I seem to have a wider step. Other than that there would be no problem with it.

What specific claims of those patents are being infringed? It looks like that person just posted every crypto patent then could find. Also which of those patents do blockstream own? I looked at a few random ones and none were owned by th

What patents do they have on lightning network? Also how would they make money on the transactions on the lightning network?

So is just about every large bitcoin company at the moment and AFAIK neither of the lightning network main developers are blockstream employees.

Not really. I moved more into product work but I have one existing contract still going for a few hours a week. No finish line but it's a steady income stream and minimal hours so I've not minded it. It helps that the client is

1. Sounds like you don't understand opensource licensing. 2, 3. What patents exist for segwit that Blockstream owns? 4. Why? 5. Their code is already in Bitcoin. They have a bunch of the core developers on their payroll. 6. How does i

Toronto seems to have about 5 food festival failures every summer. The last one I remember being everywhere on social media was a grilled cheese one. But there are numerous food truck ones where almost everyone runs out of food or line up

How does a blockchain make that setup easier? You need to a system in place to track who is selling to who so if you have that it's just as easy to have it do bank transfers as it is blockchain ones. Do you also imagine there would be

Yeah, they added like Mount Joy and Linconville on the Stouffville line. I think they are almost ready for two-way service on that line as well. Then all they need to do is figure out how to do it for less than $20/day.

Toronto has enough space that LRT makes way more sense financially than subways but Ford ruined LRT in the minds of almost everyone. Even GO could cut down a lot of traffic if they'd just add more parking lots on the edge of the city a

A blockchain wouldn't improve the security of sending a signed message at all it just provides a shared storage of the message.
