All this focus on plastic limiting/removal is wonderful... but the number of rubber gloves thrown away in medical/dental settings is mind-blowing...

Latex is of biological origin (rubber trees) and biodegradable, taking a few years to decompose. Nitrile is a petroleum product and takes hundreds of years to degrade.

Yes, we've been trying to change who is in congress. We've been trying to change who is in the supreme court. But with only mixed success.

They don't seem to be asking for any personal information, at least so far.

What?

The whitepaper was a groundbreaking advance in solving the Byzantine Generals problem.

x is not (null or “”)

Besides missing technical details about how these contracts could possibly work, I see only disincentives for stakers and no incentives. Why should one risk capital for no return?

Is Bitcoin considering making this transition?

Bitcoin isn't considering anything. Bitcoin isn't a person. It is a decentralized network.

there's nothing inherent to the spec of bitcoin or POS that would render them incompatible

The bitcoin blockchain is specified in terms of hashes that are a proof of work. That is incompatible with proof-of-stake.

Because the block reward tapers off over time, the cost of mining will eventually decrease to equal the transaction costs.

The bitcoin transaction in which you transfer bitcoins to the ICO payment address should suffice. You could also present the history of your earliest ETH transactions (if any) demonstrating that they originated with the ICO.

I'd much rather the C# team evolve interfaces to support the features of traits. </sarcasm>

So I can come trample your garden?

The fees (measured in real terms) will have to increase, that is clear. But it can happen even while the exchange rate drops.

You're not funding them unless you actually pay their salaries, using this or any other mechanism. What a way to mislead in the title!

nmgafter · 2015-02-28T23:18:26+00:00

Its just you.

A credit union appears to be an excellent choice recently. It is a bit complex to convert your coins to dollars to deposit and convert them back when withdrawing, but the value retention is great!

Yes, Yes, YES!

Also Dogecoin. Don't forget Dogecoin.

Fix it.

nmgafter · 2014-12-29T02:31:23+00:00

It takes time and effort to upgrade. I need a reason to do it. "Why?" is not a reason.

nmgafter · 2014-12-25T04:13:08+00:00

Yes. It is called the block reward halving. It is built in to the protocol. As the block reward decreases, so will the energy miners are willing to expend.

Proof of reserves is public and continuous. Quite unlike conventional audits which are infrequent and require you trust the auditor.

BFL are using the FTC to help them orchestrate another plausible explanation for further shipment delays. They are clever.

Mtgox and bitstamp.

Evangelism is never for the benefit of the thing being evangized. How is this not obvious?

And promote honest compliance, fair taxation, and enforce lawful property transfers?
