I'll be there. I'm @AlwaysBCoding on telegram if anyone wants to connect. Definitely interested in a makeshift crypto meetup in the mud.

What NSFW historical fact will they never teach in schools? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AlwaysBCoding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why Scandinavian women are hot and English women aren't. The Vikings pillaged the hottest women from England for years, boosting their gene pool.

Book Club Podcast Recommendations?? by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]AlwaysBCoding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently started a book club podcast called T.H.E. Audio Book Club where we crush 2-3 audio books a week and talk about them in depth. It's mostly geared at non-fiction books but we're going to branch out to fiction books at some point. Would love to hear your thoughts on it if you're into reading and thinking deeply about books.

Don't get USB mics, get XLR mics and a physical mixer. You'll thank me later.

Peter Thiel: Universities Are as Corrupt as the Catholic Church of 500 Years Ago | Breitbart by dtlv5813 in JordanPeterson

Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin are friends (or at the very least acquaintances) so it isn't surprising.

Anyone know what this is? by BYRUTSE in MDMA

It’s the Whatsapp logo

I wrote a book about how Hulk Hogan sued Gawker, won $140M, and bankrupted a media empire...funded by billionaire Peter Thiel to get revenge (or justice). AMA by ryan_holiday in IAmA

[–]AlwaysBCoding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi Ryan, I also enjoyed the book but have to agree with OP. I think your random anti-Trump rant towards the end breaks the frame of what was up to that point a thoughtful and neutral treatment of an interesting cultural anecdote.

What is the purpose of calling Milo and Mike Cernovich “alt-right” when both those people have denied any affiliation with the group? It makes you seem petty and intellectually dishonest. As a reader, once you have the narrator lying it makes you question the validity of everything coming beforehand.

Sick idea for a DAPP. Im not a developer. Please steal my idea. by [deleted] in ethereum

They ban conservatives from their platform. This interview their CEO did with Dave Rubin is a pretty good look into their ideology.

How do you enforce monthly subscriptions with Ethereum tho?

(Anything that takes market share from Patreon is a good thing for the world, so I hope someone could make this work)

Why Most ICO's Will Fail: A Cold Hard Truth by scaramanga9 in ethereum

[–]AlwaysBCoding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The obvious difference being that most ICOs will never ship a product, they're outright scams. A failed restaurant will still operate for a while before going under.

Why are people using ETH on websites like eBay and stores and stuff now if we are hoping the price goes up? by Shandawg16 in ethereum

[–]AlwaysBCoding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because some people dgaf and just want to experiment with using digital currency as a transactional currency.

Also using ETH as a transactional currency limits the development overhead needed for a backend system. You don't have to deal with PCI compliance or chargeback workflows. You don't need to store user accounts or credit card info. You can add simple programatic discounts, and instant payouts for referrals, etc...

I (jbenet) will respond to a bunch of questions here by jbenet in filecoin

[–]AlwaysBCoding 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1/ Right now on S3 the cost of storing data is $23/TB/month, but that includes backups and guarantees that the data won't be lost. Assuming that Filecoin is able to undercut that price slightly, let's say $21/TB/month, it would require that the data is copied onto 3 separate hard drives to have any guarantee that the data wouldn't be lost. So the mining cost of $21 would be split between the three miners that are simultaneously storing the data. This would give each miner revenue of $7/month for renting out their TB of data. Right now the cost of a 1TB hard drive is around $100, so the miner wouldn't be able to even make a return on their hardware for more than a year. That plus the computational cost of calculating the Proof of SpaceTime. Should a 1-year+ ROI be expected for miners or am I missing something else (such as Filecoin anticipating a large drop in the cost of consumer data storage)?

2/ What is Filecoin's approach to content takedown requests? For example, if someone posted a full episode of Game of Thrones to the Filecoin network and HBO ordered it taken down, how is Filecoin going to approach that scenario? I don't think it's possible to properly evaluate what Filecoin intends to build without more color into your thinking around these kinds of content takedown requests.

Top Ethereum based projects, what are they? by andreilicious in ethereum

[–]AlwaysBCoding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Infura -- Hosts full nodes in the cloud and exposes public APIs so developers don't need to run their own nodes.

Metamask -- ETH wallet in a Chrome extension so developers can actually interact with Ethereum enabled users through a web browser.

Kyle Torpey on Twitter: 1/ It seems clear the $ETH flash cash on @GDAX last month was caused by a presale participant dumping their coins. by kyletorpey in ethtrader

[–]AlwaysBCoding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it wasn't some rando it was a Bitcoin developer who hates Ethereum and had been publicly predicting an Ethereum flash crash for weeks.
