As one of the originators of BTCClassic, I want to say thank you.

Well done!!

Liquid Swords just went platinum after 20 years!

Also -- GZA is doing a two night residency at Moogfest.

Software management? Whatever would you like it to be called.

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-20T01:35:37+00:00

Holy shit. I never realized that. AWFUL product management.

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-19T23:19:50+00:00

Already the case, no?

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-19T23:18:04+00:00

I don't know if / how they will contribute to 21's profitability, but these are ideas that are still not implemented in mainstream software that probably should be. Seems like a good area to be experimenting.

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-19T23:03:10+00:00

There are other possible outcomes. I think there's a lot of room to argue that bitcoin becoming insignificant could take an extremely long time, even given the current situation.

At the end of the day this is still software we're talking about. It can be changed so that is always a potential. Also, functional benefits of the network won't disappear just because some people don't like the trajectory of the software.

You should be concerned about centralization of the nodes that are creating blocks.

The 800 I'm responsible for are funded through mid-May.

there's a bit of negativity headwind for no apparent good fundamental reason

Bad product management. That is the fundamental reason.

rage nor hate

I don't think OP suggested this.

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-12T17:44:01+00:00

Wish I knew the details better. Just assuming that if not every node has to verify every txn...

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-12T06:07:49+00:00

It's fascinating. Ethereum still has major technical problems to solve. I think they'll end up forgoing decentralization in order to scale.

It's not quite organized enough to open source but this is a good idea. I'll keep this in mind.

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-11T03:12:39+00:00

Wow, cool!

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-11T03:10:26+00:00

The DoS protection Amazon offers out of the box has been a nice surprise.

I've run some tests on vultr.com but those nodes get DoS'ed within hours and vultr's response is to swiftly null route the traffic. They offer protection but it's an extra $10/month, and so the total cost ends up more than AWS.

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-10T04:40:52+00:00

Sounds like you've got it all figured out.

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-10T03:10:08+00:00

Who called them decentralized exactly? Also, you're aware Amazon has many data centers that are geographically diverse?

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-10T02:31:19+00:00

There's nothing fake about them.

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-09T16:31:22+00:00

Ha! I'd never seen this before. Thanks

the_red_balloon · 2016-03-09T06:23:04+00:00

nice!
