   I've been studying state machines and specifically statecharts (which are essentially state-machines with hierarchy) for a while now. Here's a great resource to learn more https://statecharts.github.io/ I absolute

    Seriously. Not even a mention of ZeroNet means the author didn't obviously do a through research on the subject.

    This article is so silly. How can it get front page on HN? The important point that he's missing is that, even though the pools are centralized, the individual miners are not! And this is really the main difference. As ASIC chips get f

    I'm confused because statecharts don't describe business logic - you might be confusing them with flowcharts which are inherently very different: there's no concept of state in flowcharts. > the most efficient, understanda

    No. A flowchart does not have any concept of state. Here's a good reading about the difference: http://www.stateworks.com/active/download/TN9-Flowchart-is-n... In essence: Flowcharts do not inherently have a

    The statecharts paper provide a solution to this "state explosion", in the form of hierarchical (nested) states which I also talk about in the slides.

    Of course to understand how things are implemented you'll have to read the code. With statecharts at least you have a visual bird's-eye view of the behavior of your UI. This is important because otherwise you'll be lost with

    I disagree especially because statecharts solve this with hierarchical states. You draw and think about a substate on its own, without all the higher-level complexity. Then once ready you can include it in any subsequent layer - hence it’s

    I get this too, but it's very draining - similar to doing an intensive workout, or given a talk at a conference. The negatives are obvious; less sociable, more easily irritated, wanting to be by yourself. After you've spent a day

    Honestly it's a step towards making off-chain payments work (Lightning Network) in these remote places. You can imagine a hub per small town acting sort of as a "bank" which is listening to the blockchain. You make payments w

    Aren't there better ways to broadcast the data? Say using SMS services which seem already quite used by farmers in remote places [1]. Also it's unclear how people in these remote places will acquire their first bitcoins. What I li

    What's important to note about ICOs is not necessarily whether the idea is actually practical and that it will work. What matters right now is whether the idea can stir our intellect and get the crowds excited. This is because behind t

    One important point to be careful about are replay attacks. If you decide to spend your coins on the Bitcoin Cash, you're essentially broadcasting a transaction signed with your private key, which could be used to move your coins on th
