I realize that it's not literally dog food. By "dog food", I was referring to kibble and how it's made (and demonized in our culture because of it). Nothing more.

It is going to be a separate coin once released. Their attempts to merge the original Zerocoin idea into the Bitcoin blockchain were met with contempt.

It hasn't turned me off of the idea, either. It's just that all of the "high grade dog food" vendors call bloody-murder over the fact that we're feeding our dogs industrial chemicals and that doing so just couldn&#x

I live in Canada. But when I realized there was going to be a delay (and added cost) I had them ship it to a friend in the states whom I regularly visit. According to their facebook page, you are correct. There is a delay in shipping intern

One of these assholes incessantly calls up my grandmother (and everybody else in her building) daily, proceeds to scream at her when she denies owning a computer, insisting she does. Then calls her a liar (that she is lying she does not own

That would be very difficult, and I'm sure will prove to be a major deterring factor in the early adoption of this new currency. Their old "zerocoin" project website had a neat infographic depicting it's simplified usage

On one hand, I am glad that the transfer of property is not always 100% absolute. Can you imagine what might happen if the land of the U.S. federal reserve building was somehow transferred to a random individual? I used to get "free mo

That's a great writeup. I can't wait to try mine once it arrives! I almost forgot about the project and basically just wrote it off as $65 down the drain when they surprisingly emailed me earlier this week saying it had been shipp

Blockchain technology would certainly make title searches on real property easier. Right now I have to physically drive to a land records office, pay the people behind the desk to look through some old photocopied records; which they can&#x

My thoughts exactly. Matthew Green has carefully worded his presentation of this project in the past. He has always claimed that such an implementation could be possible. Not that it was inherent to the coin itself. Let's hope that h

Very interesting. I was not aware that there are "foreigner only prisons". I wonder why they exist? I haven't kept up on his blog writings much, as it's too depressing to be honest. Which is a shame considering he is suc

The same thing that would happen to any country or state that decided to stop participating in the war on drugs. They would be sanctioned and heckled by other city governments. They may even have their drug enforcement programs carried out

That video is incredible to watch. It is so amazing that I am slightly worried that it might be faked. I really hope that this technology becomes an economically-viable and long-term means of helping parkinson's tremors.

Interesting, that's almost exactly how Isaac Newton surmised gravity if I am not mistaken. I wonder what the dimensions of the gun required to send a payload 8,000 times smaller into orbit would be?

I am wondering why I have yet to see this tindie mentioned on hackaday.com To the founder, I would approach them for an advertising deal if at all possible.

That's a terrible idea imho. Just change the domain name and relaunch. Problem solved before it began, and for just $10.

OP was referring to 'nobody' as being the general public. Not a mob-boss on trial that the FBI has been following for decades.

Maybe it's just that the article was written by a woman. (As I could easily see my significant other behaving in this manner when she was "out with her girlfriends".) But, does anybody on HN actually relate to this paragraph

It's like the terrorism shield all the politicians stand behind. Don't agree with me? You're a terrorist. Don't think Snowden is a hero? You're a sock puppet.
