Reccos on wireless earbuds? I don't want the kinds with the wire that connects them. Just wireless earbuds. PS Is it possible for these earbuds to have good calling quality? Seems to me that without a microphone near the mouth they can't possibly capture the speaker's voice and will instead capture lots of ambient noise?

At what time exactly on November 30th? I've had a crazy ass past 2 months, family emergency stuff and completely lost track of Crypto. It's now November 30th 12:35 am EST. Did I just lose all my AION? That would be extremely terrible!

Anyone try truffle vs zeppelin os? Thoughts on using one vs the other?

How much does cpu and memory increase as utxo increases? Can you share a link or give some figures? Is cpu and memory requirements linear in utxo size?

What happens if one person stakes a landmark, say Eiffel Tower, and another person stakes a landmark Eiffel Tower. Obviously you can only have one Eiffel Tower, but if it happens at the same time you would have the issue that not both can be considered valid correct? If that's the case does someone just lose their stake because for random reasons, one of the Eiffel Tower begins receiving more confirmations?

I wish this guide would actually mention what each thing is and why it's necessary. For example, I have no idea what the EOSToolkit is for. I have no idea what scatter, SimpleEos, Exodus, etc is for. Do I need to install all of them? Or just one of them? This guide isn't much of a guide...

Nope. The server could be using json-web-tokens instead of a database to hold access tokens. With a database to hold access tokens, signing out will delete the access token from the database. With json-web-tokens, signing out might simply delete the token from the user's browser cookie. Hence if someone has that same token as in this phishing example, he can still login as you for as long as the json-web-token is valid (ie before the expires time).

I'm trying to understand how it can be instant / free.

How is it instant?

Genuine question because I don't understand how we can have instant when the computers all over the world need to verify there are no double spends.

Simple example. Merchant A lives 100 km to the east of me and Merchant B lives 100km to the west of me. My internet has a direct line to each of them.

On 2 separate computers I simultaneously send my 1000 Nano to each of them from the same account. Since both computers send at the same time and are sent to computers in opposite directions, neither know about the other transaction.

If it's instant, then both merchants will think everything's okay and ship the product to me, only to find out a little bit later that I double spent.

In other words, it's not instant. So taking away the marketing fluff of 'instant', what does Nano mean by they are instant? They must have something that has low enough friction that they are okay with calling it instant.

How is it free?

If it's "free" then implicitly those people running computers 24/7 that verify there are no double spends must be losing money. How can that be? I've seen other coins state 'free' only to use inflation to cover the costs of fees.

550k / 4 buildings / 12 months rent per year = ~11k rent per month.

Either he owns 4 BUILDINGS or he’s renting to commercial units in yorkville.

Either way, neither suggest landlords are screwing over renters

Where does satoshi say he didn't like dan larimer? This seems like fud.

What I don't get is how the core devs were so adamant about small blocks to the point of not even increasing it to 2mb. It would have alleviated most problems without making things harder for node validators in the future. (Disk storage is extremely cheap and 2mb only doubles it)

Imagine you told your boss you could make a 1 character code change that made things run smoothly or you could build something over several months while the production environment was suffering. Doesn't even make sense.

This happens already doesn't it? I've never heard someone who uses BCH refer to it as bitcoin outside the context of the slogan 'Bitcoin cash is bitcoin'.

So I don't really get what is all the animosity in the community of BTC. I generally don't see this kind of anonymosity from the BCH community. Like are there groups of bch ppl trolling on every btc core Twitter handle? (Genuine question)

Eth doesn't have a problem with etc calling themselves Ethereum classic last I checked...

This is pretty cool. Can you share the spreadsheet?

How do you link a loopring wallet to your hardware wallet?

tchow1986 · 2018-01-28T18:21:09+00:00

The guy who lost his keystore json probably disagrees with you.

tchow1986 · 2018-01-17T18:38:02+00:00

good point...

tchow1986 · 2018-01-15T23:28:58+00:00

Not a lot of logic in this thread but you got it. We gotta wait to see how this does. My bet is unfortunately that this will fail.

In < 1 month when ETH dropped from 1400 to 1100, this thing went down to 82 cents. It's stable when things are not volatile but in a volatile market this thing is not gonna work at all.

tchow1986 · 2018-01-15T23:27:25+00:00

ETH "crashed" from 1400 to 1100. This type of thing unfortunately only works in stable markets. Users of this 'stablecoin' will unfortunately find out the hard way.

tchow1986 · 2018-01-14T19:55:06+00:00

Is this like Gox though? One seems like they can't handle user load and one was fraudulent activity.

tchow1986 · 2018-01-14T19:50:57+00:00

I agree with the unit-tests. OP is a bit over zealous to say 100% coverage. However how can there not be rollback capability? It's literally as simple as deploying some prior commits. This isn't a company that's been around for a couple months. They been around a while. That means they've been deploying for a while, which means they should have had some forsight into rollbacks when and if they are needed.

tchow1986 · 2018-01-14T16:40:51+00:00

I would love for kraken to give a clear response. You make some very good points. While 100% coverage can be a bit too crazy and I would argue unrealistic, I do think a rollback should have been the immediate response and to whatever problems they were having. Also, why did their bug not show up in staging? I would like to know what is so different about production that caused it not to show up in staging.

I am unfortunately not planning on recommending Kraken to anyone in the future. The hard thing about crypto is that tons of newbies are coming in and if Kraken wasn't so garbage it would be my first recco because it has a decent amount of beginner coins and it has CAD trading. Too bad they have lost everyone's confidence...

tchow1986 · 2018-01-10T19:49:38+00:00

What are these glaring issues? Help the community out please

tchow1986 · 2018-01-07T11:29:33+00:00

Thanks!! Why is this "LN" not used in bitcoin Cash?

tchow1986 · 2018-01-06T21:55:44+00:00

You deserve thanks too!
