I really like this idea, but I'm struggling with the decentralized aspect of it. If you can control the content, what exactly are the user's getting? Content can be scraped and sav…

These posts kill me. Anyone who says they are burning strategies onto fpgas when they trade with GDAX has no idea what they or doing or talking about. The platforms are way too imm…

It benefits the people in power. It benefits corporations who need cheap exploitable labor, or directly profit from the operation of the prison industry. It forces people into low …

I love this idea, can I write some guest shitcoin reviews? :)

This is cool. Get it ready before AR goes mainstream. Even Chrome right now in vr mode is pretty cool despite being completely beta and not having really any vr specific features.

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the …

The entire system is a scam. Inflation and debt are designed to subjugate people to the state from cradle to grave, and to create an orderly and contained society that preserves th…

I totally believe that it is possible he wanted to do that. Why not sell all of his LTC at $10? Why continue to focus his time and energy on it? There is only one reason, which is …

I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. Charlie has been the driving developer and force behind litecoin since its inception, and while he may continue to fill that role, nothin…

I'm going to chime in here also. I sent an email quite a while ago and heard absolutely nothing. Considering I have basically an unbelievable amount of experience related to this I…

I remember fingering to read these .plan files back in the day. :) Is twitter the modern replacement? I don't think we have anything quite as succinct.

I think this is just the tip of the iceberg for Bitcoin. Time will tell if I am right or wrong. If we think of it as simply a currency, or a store of value we can place limits on i…

We will have to agree to disagree then. I think understanding this fully takes more than a casual look.

You should read up on it before you draw conclusions. It does have useful properties, it structurally is similar to Bitcoin while having the smart contract capabilities of Ethereum…

It's not :). It is also a running commentary on the idea that Bitcoin can survive simply as a store-of-value when that functionality can be replicated. https://etherscan.io/address…

Hi guys, It is no secret that I'm pretty tired of the political infighting around Bitcoin. The environment got so toxic that I stopped most of my Bitcoin-centric development to foc…

Yeah I've given it more thought. It really all comes down to mining power. Right now a lot of miners are signalling for segwit2X. If they end up committing their resources to it an…

This is a great idea. Mostly for the marketing angle, but it also will start to show people what is possible. It's like a taste of a entirely new network, which will have capabilit…

Sure, but this doesn't account for how Bitcoin or digital currency actually scales. There isn't any reason that the same proof-of-work couldn't secure an order of magnitude more tr…

I think this is incredibly overblown. How much does the existing financial system cost to operate? How much do ATMs, Private financial networks, money security, transportation, sta…

This is so cool. I see you used Erlang for various components like the UI, was your primary reason for using Pony instead of Erlang for the data processing performance? That seems …

Not "nearly everyone", plenty of people in the technical community who have worked on Bitcoin for a long time have grave reservations about Segwit. Considering that it is active on…

Its not really worth it. Very over complicated. Really they just need to do code/data deduplication on chain somehow and forget about using contracts as libraries in this way.

Segwit is not about fixing malleability. Malleability can be fixed without SegWit. It's a simple change to the TX format. Segwit is over engineered to avoid a hard fork, and is pri…

>I agree, particularly since there's been 100s of contributors to the project. Which makes Blockstreams impact much less valuable than the original comment implied. This always get…
