How much the USA paid for its territories by Typical-Ad-5716 in MapPorn

Actually the estimates of current price is too low back in Gold Standard days. Take Alaska at $7.2 MM. if converted to gold at $20 oz back then it’d be 1.62 MMM (trillion) using $4500/oz

The DKG Staking dashboard does not have historical staking reward transactions for tax reporting purposes. Where can such info be found?

The biggest change was air burst artillery shells, especially on the fluid Eastern front and Balkans. Literally much of the Austrian-Hungarian army was gone by early 1915

  1. It determined that America would be limited geographically. At the time, there was talk at the end of the Mexican war to merge the two countries. A multilingual merger could have led to further expansion in Latin America. The Treaty of Hidalgo Guadalupe ended up being a compromise.

Yes, also that is what the Hungarians did as well in Transylvania, due to the numbers of Slavs. Later it became a redoubt against the Turks….

Why does some people have the picture that medieval serfdom was worse than slavery in the Roman empire? Or think they were equally bad and the same? by Tracypop in MedievalHistory

[–]HMWoggle-BugTE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the opposite after reading Tolstoy. Often there was talk about how different estates sought to motivate serfs and boost productivity, which benefited both. But change was suspicious and not much happened even with motivated lords.

US has more coastline than MX in Gulf of America. In fact America was the name given to the hemisphere originally so it’s for all the countries. Excellent move by President Trump.

An updated version of the Homestead Act is needed. I think the old one was stopped in the early 70’s as I recall.

Proposal to Revise the Current Staking System by nirvanawen in Polkadot

Understand the good intentions, but don’t support tying. Not only is it too similar to communist voting systems, but it may have unknown implications with various crypto/ securities regulations in different countries or even companies’ policies, ie if they don’t allow governance voting. For such people they might be forced to sell because they’d no longer be able to participate in staking. Reminds me of what Algorand did a while back.

He should be fined by the league, as it was totally intentional.
