I believe they believe they are helping people and the work is valuable at some level, if they are successful, yes. At the very least they aren't intrinsically opposed to the field…

I assume you’re aware, but for clarity: it’s not possible to sic the bitcoin network on anything, even cracking sha256, which it uses internally, due to hard-coded ASICs that incor…

Poor idea to found a startup in a field you don’t believe in. Waste of time from the start.

They’re passing up an interesting opportunity to compete.

Why even bother describing the joke if the punchline is too crass for publication? Pick another joke.

Every sale has a customer.

Depends greatly on the conditions of the facility they were mining in. Heat kills these units. A professional set-up (not to be confused with a large one) will have much more mild …

Hard to say the number because it is difficult (but sometimes not impossible) to deduce the device from on chain data. ASICs do exist but they have not obsoleted GPUs like has happ…

If that’s what you took away from my post, I must have done a poor job with it. Firstly emergent consensus is a big part of decentralized systems. Core providers convening on a dec…

Yes except that some users will be convinced by Minerchain marketing and sell their Stakingchain eth due to those beliefs.

People will describe technical mechanisms, but they are all pretty irrelevant since a miner rebellion would easily modify the software. The real mechanism is that all the major pla…

Fees are based on resource usage. In Bitcoin this is usually the total data size of inputs and outputs that are used to make the sum. This is where the issue of dust arises, when a…

I’m not implying it’s a self enrichment scheme, just a really poor choice. Regardless of who developed it.

I find it hilarious that instead of using a battle tested and widely known cryptocurrency that relies on actual cryptographic techniques, like Monero or Zcash, they’ve embraced a c…

In my opinion, given the application is cryptocurrency, reimplementations are pretty valuable. It’s important to avoid systemic failure due to a large percentage of nodes having th…

Seems petty. Of course it’s easier to make changes when you just launched and there are less parties and more centralization at a leadership level. 8 months doesn’t really seem lik…

I agree it’s shortages and not really miners to primarily blame for the GPU issues… but the type of mining you are doing is not the same as professional miners. There is tons of de…

Personally I went through a lot of the same considerations and the indecision and flip flopping got quite tiring. Eventually I just simplified things. Living in a property you own …

A centrally controlled emission is a feature that has significant downsides. Whether we want this feature is the point of discussion... Societies with economies existed before fiat…

I don’t think delivery choices really have anything to do with someone’s intelligence. Some of the most intelligent people I know have horrible diets, some to the point of nearly r…

and technically, it’s not deflation, it’s a decrease in emission. Deflation is the expected result, but not necessarily guaranteed.

It says more about bcash than bitcoin that it’s supporters feel the need to push a (false) narrative anywhere they can.

If this were true, why would China break up Jack Ma, weakening fintech presence for the immediate future?

It would be more useful to simply collect and publicize the anonymous report statistics rather than contact the recruiter. That way applicants can know whether it’s worth spending …

I agree the Oxford/AZ vaccine seems a bit rushed and promoted. It also seems to be less novel than the mRNA vaccines, but I’m no expert. Can someone confirm the Oxford/AZ vaccine i…
