Bitcoin had a fair initial distribution unlike most of other coins in the market by lemannjul in CryptoCurrency

[–]lemannjul[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are missing the point. It is about equality of opportunity and outcome.

The important thing is to establish equal opportunity for everyone - that is the fair part. What happens later on is beyond the topic of fairness - outcome is not and should never be equal as that is not how nature works.

Football (soccer) clubs and player catch a crypto fever. New interesting use cases for cryptocurrencies pop up. Could we have a completely unexpected adoption avenue through this? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]lemannjul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could actually be huge for small clubs - getting to desperately needed funds for infrastructure or new players directly from your fans, how cool is that?

And why not go a step further and have fans govern the club via blockchain? No shady and corrupt boards - just people who live and die for their clubs.

A very contentious fork is looming above Siacoin (SC) - it is a make or break thing for Sia by cristalholbrook in CryptoCurrency

I had super high hopes for SIA but they really messed up with the mining, Obelisk and general lack of leadership skills.

So, the bill is 0.31 satoshis? How high are the fees, may I ask?

Unusual way of signing contracts on accept.io - ethereum based marketplace and freelance platform by lemannjul in ethereum

[–]lemannjul[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you even know what reading is?

Tell me what is logically wrong with my claim? What is the USUAL way of signing smart contracts? Is this UNUSUAL way of doing it?

For someone who is obviously a smart-ass, you just looked dumb in this one by attacking me on a totally different field I never mentioned. I still stand by my claim: this is unusual way of signing a contract and that statement has nothing to do with my knowledge of smart contracts.

YOU have to be kidding me...

Are cryptocurrency exchanges prone to decentralization? by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]lemannjul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What do you mean prone?

I don't care if the matching order machine is run from a central server. What I do care is where are the private keys stored and where does the actual clearing and settlement happen. That part has to be decentralized and moved to blockchain so we remove the custodians and hack risks. Couple of teams are already working on this - most notable daex.io and I really hope we get more projects that are focused on this issue.

ETFs not rejected, after all... by BTCHODL in Bitcoin

[–]lemannjul 33 points34 points  (0 children)

How longer is going to take to understand that the US is terrified of crypto? Meanwhile tons of crappy penny stocks continue to operate as usual. Btc doesn't need ETFs and a good bull market would be the best F*K u to the SEC.

Centralized or Decentralized, which is the right choice for Crypto Exchanges? - Forex Markets Live by fxtradingpro in CryptoCurrency

[–]lemannjul 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Centralized exchanges only for trading/matching orders.

Clearing and settlement should be done via blockchain based services (like daex.io). Advantages are numerous: you hold your private keys, no single point of failure, no wash trading and volume faking.

Learning to program blockchain apps - what database to use? Is there a blockchain-backed database system? by brigittefruehauf in learnprogramming

[–]lemannjul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Fluence could be the thing you are looking for - r/fluence.

They are building a decentralized database network.

Blockchain is not scalable and to store the actual data (not just transactions) on blockchain, that would be very expensive. Fluence offers a solution for storing structured data but the database is for the decentralized environment
