This is true as long as you trust the issuer of the transparency log to not go back and re-write the history of the log. That's a trust assumption that most folks are fine with, but it should be explicitly be understood to be there. A

Yeah, the ftx coins were moved to two addresses. One is the one most folks were watching, where most of the non-eth funds were sold to eth on decentralized exchanges, and sometimes at really high slippage. The stable coins were all converte

Sure, but an opposing party could then easily call it out as bad evidence. "Commissioner/your honor, the author themselves didn't this was any good for use in court".

Where the court might split hairs here is drawing a line between 'moderation' of content and 'recommendation' of content, and find google liable for the reccomendations that generated the feed. But I suspect no one is pa

In my experience, Coinbase doesn't charge any fees on USDC to USD conversion. And then if you live in the right place, you could get their debit card and use your funds pretty much instantly.

The 'service' is a contract on the chain. It exists and operates because thousands of other people are running nodes that run that chain. It still works today if you access the static front end website via ipfs or have a local clo

There is a decent group of folks in the rocketpool community that are doing this right now, running their nodes with 8gb pi 4's, running mainnet validators. The main dev of the rocketpool node stack has put a lot of work into making it

The demand for zk-prover hardware will be no where near the same extent as for pow miners. Those zk proofs only need to be generated once, by a single party, and then they can be verified, easily and cheaply by anyone with minimal hardware.

The developers don't have full control like that. They were only able to execute TheDAO hard fork because the community was very small at the time and was reasonably united behind the developers in carrying it out. It was something of

To be pedantic - mainnet Ethereum didn't 'roll-back' those hack transactions either. They are still there on etherscan if you want to look for them. The DAO hard fork introduced an unsigned transaction that moved the hacker&#

At least in Ethereum - - Stakers earn far less then miners since they aren't burning capital to validate. They only need to be paid for their opportunity cost over putting that capital to use elsewhere. - Their stake does not automati

by yokem55 4y ago
The flip side of this though is that stakers can have their capital burned because of misbehavior. If a staker gets too entrenched and the other folks in the network don't want them around anymore, their stake can be slashed. Proof of

by yokem55 4y ago
In theory, a very large staker could run a large share of the network, exit (either normally or get slashed), then rewind the chain prior to the exit, run it on their own independently, and then pop up after a while with a competing fork. T

Your implication was that full nodes are less secure. That specifically is false. You do not need to know the full indexed history of an account to know what its current balance is. There is zero loss of security in not knowing what a speci

This is false. Geth full sync mode has every block with every transaction executed from genesis. What is pruned in 'full sync' mode is the per account/contract history. But since you are executing every transaction from genes

This chart is kind of dated and misleading at the moment. 1) You don't need an archive node to fully verify the current state of the chain. A full geth node in full sync mode (about 600gb) will process every transaction of every block

I think that is the share of GPU mining. ASIC's, which is what mine BTC and other SHA mined coins aren't in that figure.

Except if the community at large doesn't like how a particular staker/validator is doing their job, the staker's assets can be burned in a hard fork that enjoys sufficient broad legitimacy. The capital can be outright destroy
