You are correct, and only BSV takes this seriously. Transaction fees taking over for block rewards are set out in the whitepaper. Section 6: Incentives... It explains block subsidy…

It is widely held in the BSV community that UTXO has better scaling properties. Txs can be validated independently of other txs, alowing for parallelization of tx processing. See t…

>It is very easy to "scale" if you centralize all processing in a handful of nodes. "Yes"

BitcoinSV uses the UTXO model, which is easier to scale than global state models like ethereum, solana, etc. And with it's massive block size there is hope for fast payments and lo…

BitcoinSV was probably chosen since it allows using layer 1 for peer-to-peer payments, by using huge blocks. In theory this means low fees and high transactions/seconds. This makes…

I love this quote, but can someone explain to me what is meant with "Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim."?

Maybe Elon Musk suspects that effective algae biofuel production is a strong candidate for his 100M price, which would benefit SpaceX greatly. Maybe even feasible on Mars, in artif…

That is not the same. Then you need nutrients for cell replication as well (amino acids/protein, minerals, vitamins). But if you just collect secreted hydrocarbons from algae you i…

I have an idea about genetically modifying algae to continuously synthesize and excrete cellulose or similar. In theory would only need sunlight and water to operate, and cellulose…

"Notably, in line with previous publications12,13,23, our data suggest that memory formation is largely an enhancer-driven phenomenon." This is very interesting, and for me a new t…

Heritability? How? Remember that gamets (egg/sperm) are not affected by this, so passing these memories onto the next generation is not plausible.

I wonder what the significance of this mechanism vs long term potentiation (LTP) is. Any insights?
