For posterity it's notable that at this moment BTC is at $2694.88, while BCH is at $691.94. Following your assumption that means that the split increased the total value by about $600! Make of that what you will. :)

Right at this moment it's values at $717.00 per BCH vs $2694.42 for a BTC. You'd argue it's better for me to have wait until the price stabilizes at 2% of BTC before I'm allowed to cash out?

From this thread I've learned that a people-resistant safe might not be fire-resistant. Please check if your safe can actually handle heat and water.

Can you explain this to me? As far as I understand, at best you can subtract your donations from your income, so you won't have to pay income taxes on those donations. Even if you can subtract the donation directly from your taxes, you

You can't steal with a double spend. At worst you can send a transaction and then later undo it. But that would require the dishonest party to work together with or be the hostile miner. I'm pretty sure the backlash against both t

But that wouldn't work for the 'victim chain' of the fork. In this case the idea is that 90% of the miners fork, while 10% remain on the original version. I don't know if non-miners also check the difficulty or difficult

In the end it doesn't matter how efficient the mining ends up being. All that matters is the price of electricity. Assuming efficiency gains level out and thus the cycle of buying new hardware to keep up approaches infinity length, the

I would guess ankurdhama was talking about the problem from the customer's perspective. When you hear them say: "I need a modern site", don't start until you're clear why they want it. For example "My custome

The nonzero part is about the possibility of network / endpoint failure. No hash is going to prevent the cleaning lady from 'freeing up' the power socket for her vacuum.

As someone who has worked in C# for about 8 years: you can't. You can call `GC.Collect()` and hope . But far as I know the GC will do a best effort and gives no guarantees. Of course that's besides that fact that I would need str

The stress from a interview is vastly different from the pressure of fixing a prod issue. It's like saying standup comedy prepares you for 3AM calls.

Read reboot's last sentence again: Then do the research and find out how much more you might earn if you pay $300K for your degree rather than $100K. So the suggested alternative to a 300K college is a 100K college.

Assume my bank gives me a linear interest of $10 per year. Then going from $100 to $110 that would be 10%. Going from $110 to $120 would be ~9%. Going from $120 to $130 would be ~8%. In any year you could conclude my savings grow exponentia

Alternative as used in for example Rotterdam is to have a similar machine where you input your license plate. Then you don't need the ticket. And this enables apps where you basically press [start parking] and [stop parking] and you wo

The binary part is to make it easier to understand. This is not about new cars, this is about second hand cars. And even if it was about new cars, you wouldn't know for another 5 years if the new car you bought was bad quality or not.

Uncertainty. Look for the parts of the code where you feel you least sure you have the logic right. A simple example of this is the bowling game kata: given the throws in a bowling game, calculate the (final) score. The 'hard' par

You will always be the owner of the stocks you purchase. If Robinhood is set up like most (all?) brokerages, then your assets are held in a separate entity that would be unaffected by a bankruptcy. So creditors of Robinhood can't go af
