This is completely wrong. They scaled energy with number of transactions. > At each time step, CO2e emissions for the given number of transactions were estimated based on the emissions generated to mine that number of transactions in 201

Why does every article about this talks about the energy per transaction? Energy spent is completely independent from the number of transactions.

Being a public website is not a "bug". Being able to see deleted posts and download deleted videos is a bug. I consider a bug also not stripping metadata from videos and images on upload.

You will not be on the main chain if the modified version changes some consensus rule. That's called hard-fork. Look at the segwit2x debate to see how this worked in real world. If a modified version doesn't follow the same rules

Deploying a 10KW sat is not a problem. Replacing a whole fleet just to keep it operating the same way as before is.

I bought a new phone in a store, then bought a cover and a screen protecton on amazon. It sent me a notification: "We think you might be interested in a new phone". It's pretty obvious that people don't go around shoppin

The survival of hundreds of people has more value than freedom of an individual in his free time. One should not be allowed to put other people at risk for fun/entertainment/whatever. Profit for a business, on the other hand, must

The issue here is that a not too powerful local device could do that without recording everything you say in the cloud and keeping it forever with a label with your name on it.

by spiorf 7y ago
Because it does upload everything you say to the cloud, and saves it for undisclosed amount of time, and has the ability to link those recordings to your account and the motivation to exploit it for business purposes? Not to mention possibl

Maybe the information asymmetry is part of the problem itself. Banking system is centuries upon centuries of arbitraty constructs. It does not make sense from the ground up.

It would be an economic suicide for the first country that decides to disconnect itself from the internet. Or do you think that for the first time in history of mankind, every single government will come together against bitcoin? Besides,

51% lets you censor transactions. You need more than that to reverse a week old tx. Way more. You have to outrun the rest of the world and gain a week of advantage. So if you have 90% of the hashrate, you go 9 times faster than the honest

This is the internet, and those weapons can't fire down here. Try, instead, to delete a two week old transaction from the bitcoin blockchain. You will find that even with military-sized funding, you can't. That's what is bac

That's just luck. The 10 minute is an average. There are times where you need three hours for 6 confirmations.
