I'd also be mad if I sold all my dogecoin for a used car in 2013.

Yeah, good point. If the attacker knows how long each person will wait, then they can exploit that.

The problem with waiting AFAIK is that it's vulnerable to attacks on the underlying peer-to-peer network. Let's say you wait 1 hour to see whether there was a double spend. If an a…

Proof-of-work cryptocurrencies are in the process of banning themselves. All that wasted energy is paid for by the holders, and proof-of-stake is just more financially attractive. …

Ethereum is moving to proof-of-stake

Since this was written, Filecoin is up about 10,000% or something stupid. If you pay attention to the naysayers, you're gonna have fun staying poor.

Social factors. Today's governments wouldn't have the state capacity and ambition to achieve what those of the 1940s-1980s were capable of. We've regressed; we're incompetent and m…

Another issue is that proof-of-work may simply be inferior to other consensus mechanisms because of hardware centralization. I think the cryptocurrency world needs to solve this pr…

I think the mistake here is that the author doesn't understand the potential of cryptocurrency so sees electricity use for crypto as a pure cost. You can see this because of compar…

They should have just paid for an eMMC that was 4× larger than needed. Even I wouldn't put an SSD under this kind of stress and I'm just a random developer.
