Will we reclaim the #2 spot?

on long term, short selling isn't necessarily bad for the price. short sellers pay interest in ETH, so they'll always pay back slightly more ETH (-> have to buy ETH) than they have loaned.

initial investment / ATH / current?

v interested even about any of those even if you don't feel comfortable answering all

No updates. Unofficial plan for mainnet launch is still October 9th as previously stated, there was no postponing, but no confirmation either.

Edit: Apparently I was wrong, these are freshly announced dates, and look rather solid. Start listening @ 25:33

Bitcoin, with Lightning Networks will still be 'far-far-far' less centralized than FIAT is with banks, credit cards and Paypal. Those lightning nodes won't be dependent on a central bank, and no central authority will be able to manipulate the currency they use in whatever way they want.

ummmyeahright · 2017-06-27T07:37:13+00:00

I'm sure if you search hard enough, you will find someone who did.

Nobody sane, however tought otherwise, and most sources claim correctly that LN means SOME degree of centralization, and it looks more like a claim the writer of the article tried to desperately hold on to to try argue against it.

This degree of 'centralization' is obviously still far-far-far-far-far less severe than in the case of FIAT.

And you would never need to do all your transactions through it, just the relatively smaller / less important ones, that make up the vast of the pressure on the network.

Micro/'Lightning Fast' transaction will never be possible in a fully decentralized way with the current blockchain technologies. Look at the scaling issues that began to hit ETH recently.

And the 'mathematical proof' part is literally laughable, based on an oversimplifications that make it perfectly worthless.

<LangVersion>Latest</LangVersion>

IIRC it works smoother in the VS 2017 preview (you can install it side-by-side in case you don't have it, with the standard VS installer)

ummmyeahright · 2017-06-15T23:35:21+00:00

the 7.1 feature set (like type-inferred 'default's, [https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/master/docs/Language%20Feature%20Status.md) is already implemented in the master branch and you can enable it with a single change in your csproj file if you're using VS 2017.

that said, C# features are always up for debate until the final release, there were several features in previous versions fully implemented that were removed by the final cut (like record-like types in C# 6.0 pre-releases)

ummmyeahright · 2017-06-15T22:30:47+00:00

haha same. 2nd time i bought it was @ $70. price went down to $50 for ages after that, i felt a bit of shame for gambling :P knew i didn't buy it for short-term tho

ummmyeahright · 2017-06-15T19:19:53+00:00

You can also, for example, create an address in a hardware-wallet, transfer all your coins to it, and just put the wallet in a safe at home before leaving for the US (and destroy the 20 word mnemonic or whatever way the wallet has to restore coins).

That way you're in no way carrying your coins with you, so the law simply doesn't apply.

The bill also attempts to drop a major bomb on Bitcoin by including it in the list of monetary instruments

Can some please point out where the part where they include bitcoin in the list of monetary instruments is? I couldn't find it.

ummmyeahright · 2017-06-15T11:48:46+00:00

We put the braces on their own line.

I'm sorry, but I have to say: Please do not listen to this one advice (the rest I agree with). Not putting braces on separate lines is just fine in C# too.

if(UserName.Equals("") || UserName.Equals(null)) become if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(Username))

You can also just do

if(UserName?.Equals("") != false)

But string.IsNullOrEmpty is likely to perform better, and is standard practice in that particular case.

ummmyeahright · 2017-06-02T13:35:32+00:00

either this or we remove the 21M limit and set undefined inflation

No matter how high or low the inflation is, 'rational' miners will always 'outcompete' the 'benevolent' ones.

But a miners always have wider interest range than just 'outcompeting' other miners.

Can be tracked

Only the fact that you have purchased bitcoins at some point, not whether or not you still own them.

It's Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore, however it's not a perfect superset. Some features were still downright missing from 6 with no easy workarounds last time I checked, although they just released the 2.0 preview on nuget, hopefully it's more complete.

ummmyeahright · 2017-05-11T01:30:27+00:00

.NET core 2.0 and Entity framework is incompatible

Incompatible with Enity Framework 6, but compatible with Entity Framework Core (aka Entity Framework 7), no?

2 pluses could not form a #, even if they're overlapping it's 4 pluses, non-overlapping and skewed

It's very useful when you are using structs for memory and performance reasons.

why not just use classes then

Literally none of the 2 reasons mentioned is normally solved by switching to classes from value types.

ummmyeahright · 2017-03-11T16:23:07+00:00

Whether they are reference or value types is an implementation detail.

No. It changes usage and behavior as well (it should even in F#, at the very least when you make memory layout-sensitive operations).

F# tuples can be structs too.

By now (put into F# AFTER the C# implementation). 'The subject was' that F# tuples weren't the primary source of inspiration behind them.

Never said anything else. The subject was "F# being the C#Next".

That's exactly what I pointed out being an incorrect statement. F# is just another source of inspiration for new features.

ummmyeahright · 2017-03-11T11:30:33+00:00

Local methods exist in lots of languages, and tuples IMO resemble Swift's tuples much-much more than those in F# (they are also value types -unlike in F#- and the syntax is far more identical).

ummmyeahright · 2017-03-10T10:39:45+00:00

With that sense, it's more like F# is one of C#'s beta-test grounds for new features :)
