It’s a ethereum wallet/browser for distributed apps for mobile: https://www.cipherbrowser.com Meta mask is the equivalent for chrome. Cipher allows you to store some eth (or other ERC20) tokens on your phone, then use them

The smart contract has a method called updateState that allows a privileged address to update the brackets. That’s essentially an Oracle. Aside: in the future where smart contracts are broadly usable, there needs to be some way (even centra

I have essentially no real knowledge about this topic, but I suppose some progress has been made by tightening the bounds for this constant? Can somebody with more info chime in--- is this a huge, groundbreaking amount of progress?

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't mean to be shady (honest)! The main problem is that the EFF doesn't have a publicly disclosed Eth address (they do accept BTC) so I just decided to support them by pledging to donate to them. Of c

The fee does go towards hosting the campaign page. Also GiveHongBao doesn't charge for the deployment of the campaign contract--- that is paid out of my own account, so charging a small nominal fee felt fair to me. I think an interesti

Hi all. The contract that distributes donations also transfers a fixed fee to my account. For instance, see: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xc27a96a1ed705b03604b91287d0e2cf76f... The fee is flat and priced around a buck, mos

OP here. I started this project a few months ago, around early October. I wrote the meat of the solidity contract in a weekend or so, but the hardest part (of course) was writing all of the UI. That took another few weeks of intermittent ni

Given that it took many minutes to generate the DAG, I'm wondering if your machine is a bit underpowered. You can make mining much easier by adjusting the difficulty parameter here (lower means faster mining): https://github

Thanks! We were doing some deep technical dives into ethereum and cryptocurrencies here at Initialized Capital (where I work) and I was getting frustrated that I couldn't get all of the moving pieces together in one place. This tool &#

testrpc is more of a backend for developing and running tests for solidity smart contracts (e.g., Truffle recommends it as a backend for testing). My project is more focused on getting people to use the actual ethereum tooling (geth), and f

The latest deep learning models are indeed quite large. For comparison, Inception clocks in at "only" 5M parameters, itself a 12x reduction over AlexNet (60M) and VGGNet (180M)! (source: https://arxiv.org/abs&#x2

The explanation is really pretty innocuous. We had an unaccounted-for edge case that cached paulphusion.de's pages under our root domain, posterous.com. Like many software bugs, it was an edge case that we didn't foresee, but that happened

Definitely graph memcached hit/miss ratios -- they're a good way to diagnose issues in your cache. However, I can think of a few instances where more logging is helpful: 1. Your cache server is shared between several different classes of ob

There could be problems with truncation with "..." as well. For instance, I can imagine the following trunactions: "Anal...", "Ass...", etc. I guess the problem really is the truncation. Hard to know what you're going to get.

It's not really a branding grab. The reason is pretty simple. We were contacted by Facebook because our stream stories were in violation of their terms of service, which forbid "Calls to action" in the body of the stream story. For instance
