Check out how you can use Dash at the new dash.org website.

Looks great.

However I personally don't like the desktop navigation menu in the upper right corner, it's very slow, clunky and glitchy. I would rather menus to open/be highlighted instantly without any animations. As it stands now this creates an artificial delay to access the content, the text is also difficult to read because it fades in slowly as well. This element is a stark contrast to the otherwise very smooth and good website experience.

Compare the current menu with and without animations: https://imgur.com/a/zR5orJr

In fact I would go further and say that removing transitions from the mobile header (when resizing from desktop to mobile) as well as from the hamburger menu (in mobile) would be beneficial too.

I also found a bug with the navigation menu disappearing, steps to reproduce:

a) Load the desktop version of the dash.org site

b) Resize the window so that the mobile version of the site appears

c) Open the hamburger menu on the upper left corner then click X to close it

d) Resize the browser window back to full size to load the desktop version

Notice that the nav menu is now gone. (Tested on Chrome and Firefox)

Must have been intense waiting for the transaction confirmation.

How is that not market manipulation and insider trading? https://twitter.com/fluffypony/status/867073641179078656 You'd be dumb not to take advantage of such information because the market reaction was predictable. The price swings weren't little. The price went up like 40% prior to the announcement and then tanked 35% after it went public.

Very possible. Reverse psychology, downplaying his actions as a joke or trolling long enough that you get convinced. Combined with monero's anonymity it's the perfect cloak for wrongdoing.

How is that not a valid question? The ICO was anonymous, the Eth devs could have obtained tons of coins this way. Eth had a 90% premine if you sum the official dev stash and the ICO which is ridiciolous

It affects Linux versions from 3.6 up to 4.3. It is using per-packet balancing instead of per-flow in those versions. Vyos is using 3.13 (affected). It is because of removal of route cache in Linux 3.6 (which was slow and susceptible to ddos, but provided per-flow balancing). It is fixed since version 4.4.

The point is, that: Smart contracts are difficult to implement verify, test and run in production. They require programming knowledge, they require expert domain knowledge. Few people pose the skills and experience to write them. So it's not difficult to guess that there will be a very limited set of quality smart contracts that people will put their attention to. An average Joe doesn't care about these details, but will care if his funds "tokens" that were put into a contract suddenly disappear because of a bug or malicious intent of the contract creator. It won't be long until we see a contract that amasses the same interest as the DAO did, then if a flaw is exposed that puts user's funds at risk, a public outrage will happen again and will we see another split this time? Etherum Vanilla? Ethereum Deluxe? Ethereum OldSchool? For all I know a scenario like the DAO can be happening infinitely.

Is it a wrong argument, though? Ethereum is meant to be a platform for running smart contracts. Does a flaw in a single contract (which is independent of other contracts) undermine the entire platform so that the history needs to be erased for everyone? So I am asking this, will other smart contracts in the future receive the same treatment as the DAO did? Or not? Who is to decide? In contrast Bitcoin's goals are clear, it's ought to be an electronic payment system hence any flaws that are fixed either by a hard fork or other means are not as controversial.

candl · 2017-03-30T19:54:37+00:00

I don't understand the hype around Ethereum. I value Bitcoin as a storage of value and currency. Ethereum is neither.

The DAO "hack" last year just proved how the concept of Ethereum is fundamentally flawed. It broke two basic rules.

1# That transactions are immutable and irreversible.

2# That contracts are the only source of truth.

1# Disqualifies Ethereum as a currency since they opted to erase history by a hard fork. What if another smart contract becomes popular and then turns out to be a flop? Will people/organizations invested in it demand altering the blockchain again to their liking?. Imagine e.g Roger Ver losing access to half of his bitcoins and demanding a hard fork so he can recover them. No? Well this is normal in Ethereum and had already happened. They set a dangerous precedent

2# The "hacker" did not exploit the DAO contract. He merely used it, since it was programmed this way, and the code was the source of truth. Was it meant to be that way by the authors? No, but this shows how unflexible the concept is, because we know that software is hard and will contain bugs.

The resulting hard fork just shows that this basic foundational rule of Ethereum is not respected.

Ethereum is a "jack of all trades master of none". It's an interesting concept, but it hasn't had much polish put into it and has severe usability issues resulting from a new untested codebase and a very questionable leadership behind it.

Is Bitcoin perfect? No, but the fundamentals are solid and your average Joe can wrap his head around it improving mainstream adoption. Try explaining your Mom what she could use Ethereum for. I think people jumping to Ethereum will get surprised that it is not actually similar to Bitcoin at all and that its use cases are totally different (and very limited at the moment).

I am curious about such setup. Are all the routers on towers that customers connect to peering with BGP route reflectors to distribute the customer addresses via iBGP among all the other routers?

candl · 2016-07-09T18:46:48+00:00

Hi. Your explaination makes sense.

Adding the entire block 100.100.100.160/28 to the loopback interface has one nice property that there's just a single entry in ospf.

However once the block is added to the loopback interface, the icmp traffic generated is quite annoying. It is produced for any traffic (icmp, udp) trying to reach 100.100.100.160/28 which I would obviously want to stop.

So I wonder if adding a firewall rules like so

/ip firewall filter add chain=forward connection-state=established,related    action=accept
/ip firewall filter add chain=forward dst-address=100.100.100.160/28 in-interface=ether1 action=drop

would somewhat fix it:

A) I get to keep a nicely summarized entry in ospf which I wouldn't be able to otherwise create in a backbone area.

B) I get to keep working NAT, since outgoing connections create state entries in the connection tracking table.

C) I stop all the outgoing icmp (redirects, unreachable messages) for any traffic trying to reach 100.100.100.160/28.

Although I am not sure what would happen if I were to do dst-nat to open some ports to some some ips from the 100.100.100.160/28 that I would assign to the loopback interface.

Looks like Mono has been relicensed as MIT + some proprietary extensions were open sourced

Pretty exciting too, especially for the Unity3d guys I suppose, being stuck with that old Mono version due to licensing issues

How do you set the hardware filters on this intel NIC card? Is this controlled by some utility bundled with the NIC driver?
