    Many languages will die before being digitized if they have to wait for 20-25 years

    I saw this at my last company. Even worse breaking it into microservices allowed teams of 2 or 3 to start building entire realms where only they could commit and used it for intern…

    Why do you believe that?

    Yeah the first version looks like something that many people would try to 'optimize' but in reality it is extremely readable and should be very easy to change/extend.

    In practice there is a time limit. Nodes will not relay blocks that are too far from their current clock.

    That fails for the case that you have an appointment at 3pm in 30 days, and 15 days later the timezone's offset changed.

    Could you point to a PoW based cryptocurrency that isn't vulnerable to a 51% attack?

    As the space matures I'd love to see a company that offers double spend insurance for a given tx. For example changes could wait for 10 minutes worth of blocks then request a quote…

    You won't really be able to process tx that low, you'll need to pay a tx fee proprtionate to the number of bytes. 1 satoshi per byte is a good rule of thumb for a very cheap tx. It…

    Yeah in the next couple years I'd expect to start seeing smaller PoW chains wither away due to attacks like this and exchanges starting to have prohibitively high conf times as the…

    As someone that follows the space partially because it's a really cool story, I am amped about all of the attacks these days! It looks like there weren't any protocol failures or a…

    This is pretty offtopic, but the amount of time it takes to download the block isn't the only factor, amount of time to process & verify the block is pretty important as well as th…

    My response seems to have upset you. I'm sorry that happened. In general I believe that number of lines of code is correlated with number of bugs, but I would hesitate to say that …
