Interesting username

Excited to see how this plays out, I made something similar a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9351286

Missed an opportunity to name it WikWok or Tikipedia.

I own the 'if' package on npm, which I wrote to be functions that can replace the if keyword, making no use of the if keyword in its definition.

Missed out on an opportunity to name it "QWOPtimizer"

This is fascinating - I have been quantitatively tracking TikTok trends and Indian songs consistently top the charts on TikTok by view counts. This will displace many Indian TikTok…

Amazing, this is clearly a glimpse into a future of internet content being less like a document and more like a virtual world. Suggestion: the enter key should focus the chat box (…

Why would you force anyone? They are incentivized to buy a miner-heater because as long as it earns something, they are essentially just paying less for heating.

They can, the idea is that they can mine more efficiently by storing the scrambled version rather than storing it unscrambled and re-scrambling when they need to generate a mining …

Very cool, I really like this idea of Nomic-style open-source code governance. I previously built a similar project: https://github.com/botwillacceptanything/botwillacceptanythi...…

Unfortunately, SGX is not open for public use yet. You currently need special permission from Intel to access it.

You could use hashpipe ( https://github.com/jbenet/hashpipe ), from Juan Benet (the author of IPFS). It simply checks that the input to the command matches a given hash, so you can…

I am long Zcash: * The founder is Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn, creator of Zooko's triangle, the BLAKE2 hash function, Tahoe-LAFS, and former employee at MojoNation (an early attempt at cr…

Same as IPFS, which should probably be in the "Decentralized Web" category.

From the bottom of the watt README: co is similar to watt, but the main difference is that it only works with Promises. It requires that you convert callback functions to return Pr…

I wrote a module that provides something similar to this using ES6 generators (which are already widely supported), but also supports callbacks in addition to promises. This way, y…

> maybe Satoshi sold his private keys to this guy to avoid problems in the future? That's the best theory I've heard so far. That would explain why he chose a weak verification mes…

EDIT 2: Debunked! The signature in Wright's post is just pulled straight from a transaction on the blockchain. Convert the base64 signature from his post (MEUCIQDBKn1Uly8m0UyzETObU…

It's actually possible to do this without even requiring a 3rd party for escrow. Two parties can perform a "cross-chain atomic swap", where special transactions are created that mo…

Also, I find it strange they felt so strongly about the whole thing that they created an account just to comment.

Definitely a very useful Chrome extension. I discover a lot of Github repos through my Github frontpage feed, and this will make reading the descriptions much quicker.
