You mean bare-metal servers?

Ohh, you're absolutely right!

No.

#15Curious why you chose C++?
Were there aspects of other languages/ecosystems like Rust that were lacking?
Would choosing Rust be advantageous for blockchains that natively support it (like Solana)?
To be clear: I don't mean to imply you should have done it any other way. I'm interested mainly in gaps in existing ecosystems and whether popular suggestions to "deprecate C++ for memory safe languages" (like one made by Azure CTO years ago) are realistic.
Re: In-Memory C++ Leap in Blockchain Analysis
#16Thank you for the AMA. A few initial questions:
- Would it be possible to open source your DB in the future? I think there are challenges in blockchain analysis (e.g. internal transactions) that goes beyond the specific DB.
- Having used Chainalysis and others, your product seems superior based on your presentation. Which blockchains do you support?
- Is there a "HN Code" to test Prism?

#17If the FBI tells you wallet A and wallet B belong to the same actor, how do you use that information, so that they can see it on their view, without leaking it to Europol?

#18Do you see crypto as anything more than scams/crime/speculation? Most people involved in crypto pretend it's the future and their business models depend on pumping up crypto. That might be the same for you all but I figure of anyone in the space, a group dedicated to tracking down where coins are moving for government agencies (I assume for scams/crime reasons) might not have the wool so pulled over their eyes.
Who says that crypto is exclusively scams? There is that of course, but not only that. I do not find Bitcoin to be a scam.

There are like attempts at non scam projects, but none of them get any traction and usually end up closing. What, in your opinion, is a success story in this space?

What is wrong with C++?
With POSIX semaphores, mutexes, and shared pointers, it is very rare to hit upon a memory issue in modern C++.
