non-LTS release means beta now?

the result of this licensing: in the future there's gonna be a shitty free linux variant, and a SaaS premium variant. of course for complete distros this has always been the case, but now we'll get it for the core components.

With only 5% down there is no safety buffer. Lenders and insurers will take advantage of your precarious situation.

Ethnic Brits are the people whose majority of ancestors two centuries ago were living on the British Isles. But I was talking about Brits in a wider sense -- the people with British passports and voting rights at the time when those mass mi

I was completely wrong about the cost. XMR mining rewards amount to only $150k/day. At the height of the attack, Qubic (the company) paid people up to $3 in QUBIC for every $1 of XMR they mined through QUBIC, and they achieved around 3

Whenever anyone on earth does something bad, it's basically Nick's fault. Nobody except Nick has agency or responsibility. They're all victims, except Nick.

What percentage of unknown miners is Qubic?
46.
by subsistence234 1y ago
AFAIK Qubic (the company) is paying people extra to mine XMR through Qubic (if you mine $1 worth of XMR, you get $1.50 worth of QUBIC (the coin) which you can then sell). Qubic (indirectly) loses those extra $0.50. If on average the miners

It's mainly an argument against CPU/GPU mining. If you have invested in specialized hardware that can mine only one coin, you're strongly incentivized to protect trust in that coin. An attacker like Qubic would need to pay yo

Shattered is the trust in transactions that happened during the time period where the attacker controlled >51%, from addresses that the attacker also controlled. AFAIK so far they haven't controlled 51% for any amount of time, thoug

Controlling 51% of XMR costs ~$30M per day, you'd have to short a huge amount of XMR to make that worthwhile. Who would be the counter party and how would you do that anonymously? The attack itself is unprofitable, the "profit&quo

You'd have to spend $30M per day in order to control 51% of XMR, and then you'd YOLO your life savings (which would have to be another couple hundred million dollars) on centralized exchanges without anyone noticing?

KAS is PoW, at ~240 times the hash-rate of LTC, ~120 000 000 times the hash-rate of XMR, and 0.0007 times the hash-rate of BTC. Obviously not really comparable... https://poolbay.io/coins

I'm still a fan of PoW. PoS incentivizes centralization.

Since ASICs are built for mining one specific algorithm and no other, ASIC miners are invested in the survival of "their" mining algorithm. If there are several competing coins using the same algorithm, it may be possible to incen

It's not like we abused people's trust, and then they stopped trusting us. No, a cabal of evil tricksters tricked them into not trusting us anymore. We're totally trustworthy.

actually it's the voters.

i guess they should have been more trustworthy. once its lost, trust is hard to earn back.
