Ah yes, the insinuation that Assange was hacking stuff because he supposedly sent a message saying, "no luck with that." If there was evidence they wouldn't have fabricated it. You should be ashamed of being an apologist for

Vitalik is spinning a false dichotomy. Saito ( http://saito.io/arcade ) has already solved the 51 percent attack. The mechanism used (using fee collection as work) eliminates the profitability of collusion while still rewardi

"The double-spend attack is not the same as the 51 percent attack. It is strange to have to make this point in 2020, but it is true: while having 51 percent control of a blockchain makes double-spend attacks free, that is only because

Saito (saito.tech) pays for routing work rather than hashing work. Requires solution to 50 percent attack but means that all fees pay for the work of running the network rather than unrelated activities like hashing or staking.

It actually has to be costly, not difficult. And not wasteful. To see this, note that all POW and POS chains have "difficulty" functions that are actually just cost functions in external markets (hashpower or capital). What secure

Just as a heads up, Saito has a quantifiable cost of attack (for attackers) while still paying for a form of useful work (tx routing / fee collection) so waste and security are not intrinsically related. https://org.saito.te

Sweden does not offer habeus corpus to detainees who are under investigation but have not been charged. This is the category in which they placed Assange. https://wikileaks.org/Sweden-Tells-the-UN-that.html The Swedish desi

I think you're thinking of Wimblemimble and ZK-snarks. They use cryptographic techniques where the signatures need to "add up" to what they should in order to be valid -- demonstrating that no new tokens have been added in th

There is a solution (#3). Best known is to have the consensus layer prune data periodically, but check to see if the UTXO getting pruned are still spendable and charge fees for rebroadcasting them. https://www.youtube.com/wa

I really like the way Conflux combines POW and a DAG. With that said, I still do wonder how the economics are supposed to work out. Once multiple blocks are produced at the same time, what is stopping the miner with the greater hash power f

It would indeed be excellent city planning to do what you are suggesting. Other ideas include taxing vacant properties; restricting immigrants to ownership of a single property for N years; taxing immigration more heavily and investing in m

Thanks for the downvote whoever it was. History is not going to be kind to those unaware of basic facts however, in this case the fact that the Assange case was re-opened in 2010 on the basis of fabricated evidence: https://www.s

The UK trial was not on the rape charges (there was no permitted discussion of the evidence or total lack of it). The ruling was over whether the UK was bound to extradite given the Swedish government's refusal to interview Assange in
