This - the solution isn't to compell overly large websites or web hosts to carry speech that they don't want. It's to use antitrust law to break them up so more smaller websites can viably carry whatever they want. Now there

The new fork of geth, called erigon (formerly turbogeth) supposedly can do a full archive sync on a spinning disk drive and is much more space efficient.

Polygon basically checkpoints a spreadsheet onto the eth chain on an interval, but there is no way to guarantee that there weren't any shenanigans between the checkpoints. This is a big improvement over say BSC which does no such thing

If you run your own lightning node, lightning is non-custodial. But strike is just a wallet that uses their own lightning node. So, if using strike, strike has custody of your funds.

While tether gets piped around ethereum between centralized exchanges, few on chain defi applications actually use tether outside of a few stable coin focused swapping apps. Most of the lending and borrowing apps prefer USDC or Dai.

Except the barrier for entry on building a stake pooling operation is relatively low, so there will be a substantial amount of competition in the space over time. Coinbase for instance is taking a 25% commission on the staking earnings, so

Except, using the same kind of pooling that POW depends on, you can still get in at just about any price level. .01 Eth can be staked just as easily as 10,000 eth. And running a validator with 32 isn't nothing - you still have to keep

I would add - by focusing on using the economic value of electricity and stacks of special semiconductors to secure your network, you actually are making the network vulnerable to folks that can effectively create arbitrage on those specifi

Ultimately, proof of stake has the same property. The value of the network that the stake protects is rooted in some kind of real world value. The tokens from the network can be traded for fiat money that is worth something. So, unless the

Ethereum's development structure is only "centralized" in the same way that linux kernel development is "centralized". There is a big process that generates consensus across the community from a lot of different par

One of the changes going into the July update is a transaction fee change that burns (throws away) part of the transaction fees. That will put some deflationary pressure on total issuance, while at the same time, when they switch to the sta

It works fine if you add a static interface route to 192.168.100.1/32 on the wan interface of your router.

Then I encourage you to take up leadership to get some development going on the bare metal xorg server. Odds are, within a year or two, it will need serious patches to keep working with up to date kernels, mesa, and nvidia drivers.

Well, the folks putting out the unlicensed clone would have to be anonymous to keep from being sued for copyright infringement. But if you are anonymous in the defi space, users are a lot less likely to trust your product.

Because while the fee burn does act as a deflationary force on the eth economy, there is still the inflationary force of the staking rewards. If transaction volume falls too much, then the staking rewards will outpace the fees burned and th

They are changing the transaction fee pricing system though to a model that 'burns' (dumps to /dev/null) part of the transaction fee when there is congestion. Exactly how much will be burned is hotly debated, but it will

In the long run, we're all dead. So let's say we hold back the scaling of Starlink to make sure there is room for future competition. That might make for a somewhat better future. It also might just stifle the whole project in

Because everyone else who has tried has gone bankrupt or has to limit the service in utterly crappy ways? Starlink is only economically and technically viable because SpaceX can build and launch high numbers of satellites cheaply enough to

The basic social problem is that the absence of economic growth turns economies into zero-sum operations. In order for anyone to get ahead, someone, somewhere else must lose. Historically, zero-sum economies make for some pretty shitty livi

FWIW - I suspect the "IP reputation" site you referenced is utter bullshit when it comes to its "Proxy Detection". Looking at my own residential public address it calls it a 'low risk proxy' when I can assure t

Hmm. We've had a pretty good experience with it on somewhat large deployment in the field. What issues did you run into? Just not fast enough? Or functionality/configururation issues?

The issue here is if you are handling the hosting of these sites, you are the one to get and handle the DMCA mail when (and it's an inevitable when) your customers do something that runs afoul of the contemporary copyright process. Mig
