1. I have to admit, if you are going to be so vehemently angry against anyone who even talks about Bitcoin as being potentially useful, I'd suggest you do at least 5 minutes of googling. Channel Factories -> https://www

I don't disagree with you at all -> In fact most people who I read about in the space actually want high transaction fees. I think that's what makes Lightning Network very exciting. I've used it a few times, and it's

In fact I am paid in Bitcoin -> On my weekends I accept code bounties for small amounts of Bitcoin for fun. I've used that Bitcoin to buy coffee at my local coffee shop and have lunch with my friend in Japan at restaurants that acce

I don't have any graphs as like I said it's just my opinion. I'm really only basing it off of 4 things. 1. The general excitement around Lightning Network on Twitter with Jack and tippin.me, as well as this website: https:&#

You are assuming they can't pay for services in Bitcoin - which they can. There are a number of things that currently accept Bitcoin, and that number is only growing imo.

The same way that I secure my transaction when I pay the waiter for my meal in cash by giving it to them when I'm done eating. I've paid for a lot of services in Bitcoin and been paid in Bitcoin. It's generally been a very sm

1. First these are totally different points. a. If you do not currently own Bitcoin and want to own it there are many ways you can get it. They range from fast (generally more expensive) to slow (generally less expensive). Sure, if you want

No doubt that there are a lot of people selling those services, but I think they are capitalizing off the fact that a lot of people don't know/spend the time to understand where blockchain actually improves things - and it's

I can send 1 bitcoin from myself living in Minnesota to my friend living in Japan for the equivalent of $0.46. That's an improvement over the existing system. I don't have to trust anyone in between to get my money to him. How wou

Is it wasting though? Do you consider vaults a waste? Do you consider 2-3% CC fees a waste? We already have costs built into the current system (e.g. cc fees to make up for fraud, security systems around protecting gold + cash). Electricity

I'm not sure I'd necessarily call those problems - it's a weird definition I know, but perhaps tradeoffs? 1. On Electricity - It needs to be expensive to try to cheat or steal from the system. Currently with gold you would ne

To be fair, I think most people who have given blockchain an honest 30 minutes of brainstorming aren't arguing for real world assets connected to a chain. I would argue that there is potentially a use case when it comes to things that

by skilgarriff 8y ago
Not necessarily for or against "blockchain" in any one specific use case, but I'm curious why you would define anything that can't use contracts and the legal system as "illegal". I can imagine that for many no

Mind suggesting the economists to read, rather than just suggesting he is reading the wrong economists? I'm admittedly naive in this subject, but the name calling doesn't help. On the second point - there is solid evidence that, y

This is a real scenario where I think cryptos will change the ecosystem in the next few years. There is a LOT to figure out in this space (ICO Madness), but I believe once the dust settles, this is a real problem that could be solved.

Caddy is pretty awesome. I use it to run my personal website (love that it can serve statically compiled Brotli assets out of the box). I maintain it's docker image here: https://github.com/ZZROTDesign/alpine-caddy

If you happen to use React, I built a React component that helps you manage this! :) Hopefully it helps a bit! It also reports whether or not a user is idle, such that you can reduce cpu usage during that as well. https://github.
