Really interested in this. There are very good reasons we moved off the gold standard, and I've never seen a really convincing argument why we would change our minds.

This was triggered by Tavis Ormandy and he says it's fine [1]. I honestly don't know enough to tell, is he correct when he says that it doesn't actually make any difference? [1]: https://twitter.com/chort0&#x2

As long as my opinions do not measurably affect my behaviour within a specific community, then it is not relevant. The point is that people's opinions always affect their behaviour (very often unconsciously).

Nice work! This seems really slick :) How has your experience of building with IOTA been? Is there a good SDK / documentation somewhere? I've just started digging into Ethereum and so far I've been a bit disappointed by the s

Not really deep into this, and haven't even read the whitepaper, but looking from the outside there are a lot of red flags around this project: - Use of ternary logic [1] - Writing their own hash function [1] - Claiming that the flaw

If it's true then this is fantastic work. Should really be the responsibility of the government. If a device is compromised it should be disabled. It could also set up a pretty nice incentive structure. If a device is bricked due to a

Bitcoin is worth $17k because thats how much someone will pay for it. Right now the blockchain space is in a clear bubble. A lot of people (many uninformed) see the price rise and don't want to miss out. This drives the price higher. A
