Did you consider spending your nights and weekends building one to find out?

Transactions on ethereum get processed from the mempool in order of who wants to pay the most gas to have their stuff processed.

And yes, ethereum has more potential for problems, it's a much more complicated system than bitcoin. Their current goals are proof of stake (getting away from energy wasting mining) and scalability. Bitcoin is great for what it's great for, being digital gold, but it's pretty far from replacing Visa, ethereum actually has a shot at that.

I don't see how this could all not fall apart. It seems like the divergence between the stock market and the rest of the economy, is going to be the biggest bubble that has ever been. Personally, I think it's going to be the end of the US dollar.

It's not about how fast you can task a satellite and get data back that the article is talking about.

It's taking about between when the satellite was launched, and when it was able to send images back down was 58 hours. That is impressive. In the past it would normally take a week or more to get a satellite into a stable orbit and do all the checkout tests. After that, sure, task away and get all the images you want.

Targeting the $10-15 price range per month for the lower tiers is ideal. This would basically sit just under adobe's costs, but there wouldn't be the time investment of learning their tools, and the user doesn't need a beefy computer. There's also a good possibility that a small chunk of potential customers may only be using a phone.

Just my opinion, our dev/admin tools need to be a little friendlier. There are too many people that are turned off from learning Linux, programming, or anything deeper than using an app, because there can be so many headaches. There will also people that dive deep into the kernel, but Ive wasted a lot of my time over the years doing something someone else could have done if there was just a web portal, GUI, or hell even decent documentation.

We need more people that are computer literate, and making the learning curve a little friendlier helps with that. It's not like there's a petition to get rid of SSH.

Cool thanks. I might have to start from scratch just because of the underlying mechanisms that I'd want in it. The premise is to use microtransactions for posting/comments, mixed with a bit of the patreon model, to reward good posts and have a barrier to entry for reposts/trolling.
