It's probably the same in Sweden, in Croatia you can have a foreign currency account that holds, well, foreign currencies. They can hold multiple kinds of foreign currency. As long as the payment receiver is receiving a currency you al

They're trustless and borderless, and if something like Lightning Network works out, would be a great tool for microtransactions like the ones mentioned here. It'd be much easier to get a bunch of sites to use a decentralized curr

Why do you think traditional markets should crack in a few months?

On a related note, wouldn't an employer likely fire a server that doesn't earn enough tips, say, two months in their employment?

Yeah, only in life we are bound by various constraints. Whether it's that you wouldn't want to be a criminal in real life, you don't want to risk your life in extreme sports or battle, or you were born too early to explore th

I'm guessing here, but I'd say hospitals have much more stringent laws they have to adhere. I doubt someone is auditing Fitbit. It's like another commenter said here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=179159

English is not my first language, sorry, I think I didn't express myself well. I meant that we shouldn't be too naive when considering what other people might make of technology, just because we're idealistic.

I wouldn't personally want to help create tyranny powered by advanced technology, but I don't think that's to say I shouldn't be worried about it. I'm worried about what others will make of it, so I don't think

I disagree with one click solutions for homework being viable. In my view, the best way to assign homework would be to take a small feature or an interesting bugfix a current developer already solved, and assign it to the candidate. Of cour

You don't have to have PornCoin, they can use an exchange like Binance which has a lot of different currencies supported, and the customer could pay in any one of these. Or they could use Request Network if that pans out. And lastly, B

They can convert it back into a national currency through an exchange like Bitstamp, paying a fee of 0.25% for conversion to dollars/euros and however much the fee for wiring money is(it's surely less than 1%).

I however don't appreciate how flimsy lightning is when it keeps disconnecting my apple headphones when my phone is in my pocket. Coincidentally, they put out new wireless headphones. Not to mention what a hassle it is to find someone

I was just joking because before his edit he had "classical EU" instead of "classic EU".

I don't think that's an accurate analogy. An accurate analogy would be forcing someone to officiate a gay wedding. To take an extreme example, I actually don't think someone selling cake to concentration camp guards is guilty

It depends on the game. They could play Civilization which gives someone an intro to strategy, history, politics and science all in a friendly looking package, and when you lose you have to start over from the ancient era.

If you're going to use proof of ID, doesn't that kind of remove any need for a blockchain? How do you suppose you can have a censorship resistant currency if all a bad state actor has to do is punish anyone who mines a transaction

Nice, I'm glad this exists. It would be a great credibility boost if people could specify a mediator that is not stochastic, and the mediator's identity was clearly displayed in the UI. P.S. You have some small errors in the &quot
