    In Korea, shame often serves as the primary motivator behind high-profile suicides. It's rooted in the cultural concept of "chemyeon (체면)", which imposes immense pressure to mainta…

    Pretty cool! It's kinda amusing that we've gone from TUI (VisiCalc/Lotus 1-2-3) to GUI (Excel), and back to TUI though.

    Not at all. The shares in a C-corp are securities because they will definitely pass the Howey Test. Also, stocks are considered securities by a statute. It is unclear whether XRP t…

    I would believe it if the signature came from one of Satoshi's addresses, but this is not it.

    1. The signature was created using a private key that corresponds to the address "1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3". 2. 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 is Hal Finney's (Not Sa…

    I know that. I am saying that if the app is mostly webviews anyway instead of building the views natively, there would not be much difference between being a fully native app with …

    The app uses Infura, just like MetaMask, but future version will allow you to specify your own RPC. Geth/Parity light clients are not quite usable on mobile yet, but they are impro…

    That is correct! Thanks for explaining!

    If that's really what I wanted, there are many much easier ways than making a full app, such as writing a lame whitepaper and doing a scam ICO. You will see a lot of open-source co…

    You can tap on skip button in the corner but do copy it down as soon as you are able (it can be viewed again in settings screen). Cipher uses features like the Secure Enclave chip …

    Now that it is available on both iOS and Android app stores, we will be open-sourcing a lot of code in the coming weeks - this is one of them: http://github.com/petejkim/wallet.ts
