Coinbase is an exchange, and the exchange rate is "chosen" by the traders who buy and sell on the exchange.

The new "buffered mining" and predictive mining features they announced take more of the risk out of mining. Not only do they have a pool to ameliorate the variance of finding a block, but they remove the risk of the difficulty va

John did a great job building "ledger" too, the command-line accounting tool. Good guy!

Indeed, Proxy always seemed like the more general version of Object.observe. It not only "tells you when state changes", but lets you write code to say what that means. What's the state of Proxy? Are the people behind it st

It's likely that this is due to corruption in Panama with pressure from Nicaragua and Hong Kong. The official reasons given don't make sense: > Marine Traffic Control said the backlog is primarily due to weather conditions, in

Write a better diff! Make the computer do more work, rather than bending over backwards to fit the whims of your diff. Try searching for "semantic diff" or "tree-diff" or "syntax-aware diff". http:/&#x2F

I'm an independent researcher as well after giving up on the academic community. There aren't that many of us; let's band together.

Woah, this flattering article of a Chinese ruler feels like something I'd read in the Chinese government-controlled news! Does the nytimes feel pressured to write these flattering articles about Chinese rulers because of the attacks fr

This whole article is assuming that innovation comes from money, and specifically from the money labeled "R&D" in the budgets of nations and companies. Yet, most startups started on shoestrings. Then they got investment from V

Actually, the approach with commas and a wrapped brackets are equally trivial to parse incrementally. Just start by erasing the open "[", and then read one row at a time, just like you would do without the "[" and comma.

We can answer this question, but first we must make it operational. Let's measure a "usage" of bitcoin as a bitcoin transaction. This is the most simple, general measure of bitcoin usage. Now we have a quantity. We can gr

The article DOES specify that they don't know: > Rutter said the initial focus would be to agree on an underlying architecture, but it had not yet been decided whether that would be underpinned by bitcoin’s blockchain or another one

Proof of work tells you which version of history has the most work behind it. Imagine you join the network, trusting nobody. All you trust are the laws of physics and computation. You ask everyone you see "What is the current status

Feelings are not subjective narratives; especially if you're a neuroscientist. They are physiological, measurable, and observable. When the author says he does not feel bitter, it is an account on his physiological state. Are you cal

I love new information, but your narrative conflicts with the existing facts: - He is not bitter - He did not leave because of failure Now it appears you aren't listening to me, because I've had to write this twice.

Actually, you're ignoring the author. He said that his publication successes drove him away from the system: I have never been afraid of failures and of retrying, and retrying again; my scientific successes are what discou

What do you mean "quickly"? The debate has gone on for years! How many years do you think we should debate before someone takes action?

What's an example of the C++ conventions you're referring to? I'm looking at the source now trying to identify them. I don't see them. Looks javascripty to me.

Oh, please. The reddit moderators and satoshi asshat have nothing to do with Maaku or Blockstream. Andrew, your logic is slimy. You are trying to associate Maaku and Blockstream with something they are not. You didn't respond to Maa

Huh? 1. Mike is not a committer. The list of committers is here: https://bitcoin.org/en/development (Wlad, Gavin, Jeff, Greg, and Pieter.) 2. Your point is that Jeff "also" is for the blocksize increase? Bu

Maaku, your thoughts are getting sloppy. Nobody here claimed that Gavin leads bitcoin. Go back and read the post you were replying to, and try to find the words that you were "correcting." They don't exist. It was you wh

If you're going to be precise, then it's not just the miners who vote, even though there is code that specifically looks at their vote. It's also the payment processors, the wallets, and everyone else who connects to the ne

Garzik is Jeff. His name is Jeff Garzik. These are not two people. I think you just counted the same person twice because you don't realize he has a first and a last name. ???

Sorry Maaku, but I think you are taking this thread off-topic. The number of contributions Gavin has made since stepping down from Leadership is not relevant to the point "Mike and Gavin have long been members of the project, in good

Bitcoin, like all monies, is a social protocol. We agree that a coin has value if it follows certain rules. Some people want to change the rules. But some other people don't want them changed. So now we have two sets of people, the
