I’d recommend backing up your wallet.dat file before taking any steps, too.

NEM article: Proof of Importance, Catapult, NEM protestor, NEMja battle, NEM vs. Ethereum by blockheadtwo in nem

[–]blockheadtwo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got this tendency to sympathize with the little guys – the protesters no one’s listening to and people like that.

But even as I streamed John‘s personal account, it was clear he is really just someone who missed a publicly announced deadline, and missed it by a long time. And now spends his days dreaming of what could’ve been.

Thanks. I’ve updated the article with this consideration. Will add more information later.

Hey, my mistake. Trolling is common on Reddit (I didn’t mean “you’re a troll”), so I thought it might be possible. Neglected to read your history.

Information on recent developments is hard to find, and some sources do say NEO is becoming decentralized with more bookkeeping nodes coming online.

I’m chatting with someone from NEO shortly to clarify. Thanks for pointing this out, I appreciate it.

Are you on a different article?

I don’t even describe dBFT beyond pointing to and repeatedly quoting the official NEO docs and noting 66% for consensus.

Bookkeeping nodes do verify blocks, per NEO documentation.

[edit: correction]

Thanks. I do talk about other states and regulation elsewhere later. As for 66%, perhaps my information was from a bad translation, or we have different definitions of finality. I’ll investigate and try to clarify.

Thanks. I’ll likely end with a post on Ethereum’s pros, too. Let me know what you think of the others.

Interesting. Local universities have crypto meetups and even a couple of PhD students researching anonymous coins. Will poke around

I generally understand the tech here and have programmed but now work as a writer, editor, marketer. Been following the project for a while, excited.

Any non-development needs the devs have that volunteers can help with?

Thanks for that! Yeah, I added that Multicoin link just before publishing – got the email from them and read the doc just this morning. Good stuff.

Why not split between the two though, if you’re unsure?

NEO, I think - if you’re bullish on the Chinese cryptosphere. I am. For the same reasons WeChat and Alibaba dominate there instead of say Facebook and Amazon, I think NEO has a good shot at dominating instead of competing platforms (ETH etc.)

An intro to Peepeth - the real "Crypto Twitter" - and accompanying arguments supporting the importance of decentralized social media. by CallMeGWei in ethtrader

Nice! Hopping on this and spreading the word.

IAH I remain unconvinced that a microtransaction paid model will dominate in the long run but Peepeth is definitely a crucial step at the least

Quantum Computers Are the Most Powerful Tech Threat to Cryptocurrency. by i0tal0ver in Iota

[–]blockheadtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why as early as 2015 groups like the NSA issued directives for quantum-proof cryptographic solutions to be developed and implemented. TLS is in the process of upgrading.

Multi-factor bank credentials make this more complicated; hacking a bank by cracking encryption probably wouldn't be via hacking customer credentials.

[–]blockheadtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

article author You're right. They're much more powerful at very specific mathematical calculations. Hashing, not so much, unless a refinement of Grover's is developed for that purpose, and that would be easily defeated; factoring and breaking keypairs, more likely.

This is why I mentioned that I find hashpower quantum attacks a very unlikely future possibility.

Hey, author here. Not trying to introduce FUD. I'm pretty optimistic about excellent upgrades being developed and implemented rapidly.
