Do you realize "conspiracy theory" doesn't mean "false"?

If you want to get hyped, I recommend the movie Europa Report.

I'm not planning on going to America because a) I'm more interested in seeing other places (sorry) and b) It's impossible anyway. But let me tell you something: When I leave, I won…

It's not idiotic, that's why there is a Bitcoin fund, and soon there will be a Bitcoin ETF. If being an expert in computer security isn't "specialized knowledge", I don't know what…

"Hi everyone, I just heard about Bitcoin... And I'm here to fix it"

That's not really a possibility, it's just your desire to see Bitcoin go down. I don't know why there are so many people so salty about Bitcoin.

> what it doesn't have is anonymous functions If it's not anonymous it's not a closure though.

Which popular language nowadays doesn't have closures? Even the so hated (by HN) PHP has had that for many years already.

That happens everywhere to some degree. In corrupt countries it's very common that politicians announce the building of big schools and hospitals, but the projects are never finish…

No, because the miner who gets the fee isn't the only one who will have to work extra. All full nodes will have to relay and store that transaction. And there is no known way to pa…

Where is that from?

No single entity controls it, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. If someone is abusing the blockchain by bloating it with useless garbage, there will be consensus …

But cats also love to sit on squares or circles (no walls). Try creating a square with tape on the floor.

Then make the scheme 4 of 5, or 3 of 5. Besides, the company could keep a backup of the keys in physical locations, and secure them with traditional physical security.

I never said they were good fighters, just that they practice with real swords, while in Kendo they don't. But of course they fight even less than the guys from Kendo, because nobo…

I don't want to be a dick, but have you actually had a real sword fight? Have you pierced someone's armor and make him bleed? Of course you haven't. The Mountain is a fictitious ch…

Why the downvotes? This is swords and armours, not guns. Strength matters a lot. Since apparently you already live in fantasy land, why don't you try fighting "The Mountain"? Then …

> Multisig offers you no benefits if you're not the one in control. That's a little extreme. I would trust a lot more in five employees than in one. If done right, each one of them…

For example: You can only have so much security if you don't have security experts. Same with every other area. I don't remember the details now, but their first iterations were pr…

I can't believe they aren't using multi-signature internally. This is crazy.
