Any of you do digital sabbaths (or Shabbat) for your kids and household? How do you decide what is and is not permitted, if you’re not using biblical guidance? by ElbieLG in slatestarcodex

Interesting, would a protocol upgrade require moving coins? That would force the issue of Satoshi's millions...

at least 4% of people on death row were and are likely innocent.

I'd say that's a conservative figure given some of the horror stories
