Heads for anyone thinking of applying: I took the half hour or so to fill out their application and was instantly denied. I suspect it was because I don't have a proper CompSci deg…

I took at little stab at it earlier this year and made a very basic POC using PhaserJS [ https://github.com/te0d/web-tabletop ]. You can see what the code does at [ https://bored.b…

Edit: Filecoin does mention smart contracts in its white paper.

Filecoin doesn't have any smart contracts as far as I'm aware, so it's limited to use as a decentralized storage network. I believe it would be possible to build something very sim…

I believe there are times when it is favorable to "burn" ether or another cryptocurrency, i.e. lock up the money in an unowned account. For example, the decentralized market place …

Ah ok, I think that a 51% attack is what I was describing. I would update my comment, but it appears that I can no longer edit it.

For those out of the loop, miners work together in pools to combine their mining power. With more mining power, the more likely it is for them to mine a block (of the blockchain) a…

Gross stuff which is actually a collection of microorganisms. And reading further, there's the idea that our exposure to this gross stuff may be beneficial and one of the few ways …

Steven Levy's "Crypto" [ http://www.stevenlevy.com/index.php/books/crypto ] is a good read on this topic if you're looking for something more in-depth.

Is it possible to verify that these coins are among the ones stolen?

Couldn't find too much information on this, but I see that [ https://support.gdax.com/customer/portal/articles/2436336 ] under "Is GDAX's ether hot wallet insured?" states "The maj…

I suppose he could pose as the "winner" and claim ignorance, although I'm sure there's much better ways of laundering via a Mixing service [ https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mixing_servi…

Also, you can click on the little green arrow next to links on Google and click Cache to view the cached version. This "cache:" operator is pretty nifty though.

As mentioned in the article, would that P2P solution be Swarm ( http://swarm-gateways.net/bzz:/a600d48f01d5e6d07907d9d14db0f... )?

I haven't played with this too much, but does Mist need a local copy of the entire blockchain? If so, I'm not sure these decentralized applications will be accessible to the averag…

For those in NYC: http://genspace.org/

Sorry, I think I may have misunderstood your original question. When you mentioned shared cars, I was imagining a fleet of autonomous, on-demand cars but not one that would pick up…

To me, it seems like the incentives to own a car may not be so great once self-driving taxis are available, especially in the city. No need to worry about parking, insurance, maint…

That's sort of not too far off from how the human immune system works. The internal database would be your collection of antibodies[1] which match epitopes[2] presented by MHCs[3] …

I'm not sure if it still has relationships with Google, but it did form a partnership with Yahoo recently [ https://blog.mozilla.org/press/2014/11/yahoo-and-mozilla-for... ].

I don't think that's how it works. From my understanding, a new address is typically used for every new transaction. What you are interested in is their wallet which would be the s…

I have thought about a similar service but was dissuaded by various sources warning against the idea of using javascript with cryptography, e.g. http://www.matasano.com/articles/ja…

The medium size (grande) Starbucks coffee contains nearly that much caffeine. I'm not saying that 360mg isn't a lot, but it is not uncommon for people to drink that amount in a sin…

I remember reading [Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby]( http://mislav.uniqpath.com/poignant-guide/ ) back when I first started out learning ruby. I'm not familiar with his other proje…
