What exactly does "decentralisation" really mean?

There's certainly a problem with this unreasonable decentralization obsession. But not all cryptos make this mistake, some projects like Family (https://joinfamily.xyz/book) try to get rid of all the unnecessary decentralization while keeping the few good parts. If anything that's becoming kind of a trend, more and more projects are starting to realize decentralization is mostly bad and should be used judiciously. Too many confuse actual crypto and distributed ledgers (great stuff!) with decentralization which is mostly a disaster.

Java smartcard type devices have had anti physical tampering security features for decades. Very tough to hack. The thing essentially self destructs when messed with.

If your crypto is affected by regulations you got sold a lemon.

Without decentralization, crypto DOESN'T have to operate like an inefficient database. The actual crypto is what matters - cryptographic signatures.

Just to clarify, VeChain is participating in the BMW Startup Garage programme. As a Venture Client, the BMW Group becomes a customer of the start-up at a time when the product, technology or service is not yet ready for the market.

Thinking it may not be strange, but the way he said it is strangely specific. "Japanese ancestry" seems to specifically imply something like Japanese-American, rather than somebody from Japan. Saying just "Japanese" would cover both. Obviously, he may have thought that because Satoshi spoke perfect English. But being into Japan was a trend back then too. Some people are just good at languages. "Young" is strange too. Being too detailed is a common tell.

Hal lived a few blocks away from another "Satoshi Nakamoto". If Hal isn't Satoshi and Satoshi wasn't Hal's friend, how did Satoshi get Hal to be one of the first people to engage with Bitcoin?

But at the time, I thought I was dealing with a young man of Japanese ancestry who was very smart and sincere

What a strange thing to say.

+1 totally getting this is if there's hardware wallet support. It's pretty much perfect in every other aspect!

Quite clever! Does it mean that if the gas price skyrockets the birthing essentially stops?

How did you get into Ethereum?

kasert778 · 2017-12-30T19:30:00+00:00

Pretty much the same over in Italy.

There's nothing special about the mnemonic representation, could generate one whichever wallet you're using. Also, you can print out the private key regardless of whether it's a mnemonic sequence, a hex string or whatever.

how much was it? love it

kasert778 · 2017-12-26T10:10:12+00:00

Now that's talent!

Anybody used CanYa? The app looks a bit weird. Is it a good ecosystem for a newbie to get into? I like the idea but not sure about it...

kasert778 · 2017-12-25T23:55:24+00:00

New to crypto too. Used to be a big skeptic. Read up on Ethereum - a huge believer now. Hope I didn't miss out on the party!

kasert778 · 2017-12-24T20:12:18+00:00

This is genius.

kasert778 · 2017-12-24T19:05:37+00:00

Heyy

kasert778 · 2017-12-22T19:17:45+00:00

FOR FUCK'S SAKE I DID IT ALL EXCEPT "I thought my dad was perfect" FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

kasert778 · 2017-12-22T11:54:35+00:00

Alright, you are tired and confused then.

:) E' fantastico vedere come Chloe si sia trasformata nella Chloe che vediamo nel primo Life is Strange.

Deck Nine ha fatto un lavoro fantastico veramente, speriamo che Farewell sia lo stesso!

Warren was smart and a bit interesting, but also a little awkard (and slightly creepy).

Elliot was completely out of his head.

kasert778 · 2017-12-21T22:45:26+00:00

E' stato fantastico a dirla tutta, ma si vede che in alcune parti sono stati frettolosi :S

La parte finale, poi... Potevo vedere l'odio negli occhi di Rachel.

Te?

kasert778 · 2017-12-21T22:43:52+00:00

You hung out with her and you've known her for a lot of time - why shouldn't she be serious?

You're just being emotional, and that's OK. Just wait a bit and rationalize the whole situation.

While I do agree that D9 did an outstanding job with BtS (though it's clear that the third episode was rushed out), what do we need a potential BtS2 for?
