I do lack familiarity with the European environment, but between geothermal, wind, hydro and natural gas backup, is it really feasible as it is in places where solar gives 0.01 USD…

How is this sustainable as the gap between self generated and stored energy and the grid price continues to diverge? If present trends hold it won't be long before a few years wort…

Wild Ass Guess: Everyone OpenAI is negotiating with is likely considering how much they can gain from potential future revenue. This typically leads them to demand high rates. Howe…

Or what it shows is official acknowledgment that the rubes bought this narrative whilst if you look at the details, it's effectively a CBDC.

I understand it perfectly and loathe it, not for the reasons people typically do, but because what it pretends to be able to do it cannot, and actually does the opposite of.

It's not clear whether you're missing the point on purpose or not, so I'll just come right out and say it; his guilt for any crimes of which he is accused is entirely unrelated to …

"DAMN! I didn't trip over myself fast enough to make sure this personality was immediately demonetised on every internet social media platform after they were accused of a crime on…

Thanks. Good to know that's possible, it's exactly what I use for sanoid also, so I guess the quickstart just assumes that layer isn't available.

I do a version of this that doesn't require restore at all, I have three separate physical systems that all share a VPN across the world, and wherever I am at any given time zfs sn…

I use sanoid to do basically the same thing as this, and was interested in giving it a shot to see if it was more hands off but it's definitely a more complex setup to begin with, …

You can dispute it in the case of some hypothetical future architecture that requires physical real world enforcement of some state change on a decentralised ledger, sure, there yo…

Right, this and BTC both, although Amaury's proposal was less insultingly stupid than the proposal that split BTC (I require an 8% of the coinbase donation to continue optimising t…

Wrong, because even if the exchanges pick a chain that is completely ridiculous in terms of rules, say they permanently limit the tx throughput for the entire world to 3, or someth…

1. Use something other than BTC, like BCH. TX cost is a lot lower. For the rest, there's no reason you couldn't do any of those things in a legitimate working peer to peer cryptocu…

How is "people steal it therefore it isn't worth anything" a legitimate argument?

Do you mean lobbying for BTC? Because if you do, as I said, they sabotaged it into uselessness for its original purpose as a peer to peer transaction medium that disintermediates t…

Because if they're not using the same node software as the exchanges, they can't trade with other people trading the BTC instrument. The exchanges allocated the BTC ticker to "what…

Because it's nonsense and if you wanted to actually lay out the criteria for this, it would be obvious. You'd have to start with "Who defines what BTC is" and the answer would be "…
