Satoshi’s emails to Martti Malmi, (published recently), include words like, “sceptical.” Unlikely written by an American.

Aren't 65% of all bitcoin miners in China? Couldn't the CCP sabotage the network at any time? Say, a month before the launch of their digital currency?

What an amazing opportunity for trolling support staff :)

Why tabs? I much prefer guitar-spaces!

Document everything someone teaches you. Having to be told twice is not ideal for a jr. dev.

Are you suggesting that whould apply to all intellectual property?

Yes, although I think this application/audience warrants visual consistency over realism.

An unimaginable loss. I am so sorry.

Incorrect, as far as streaming royalties go. Performers get 5-6x what songwriters are paid.

The performer's share - 40%. Songwriter's share - 7%.

Terrible. Constant in-fighting. This is what is hurting bitcoin right now.

Anyone who's paying attention to the bitcoin repo can see your statement has no basis in reality. For instance, compare the number of closed pull requests between btc/eth/ltc...and bch if you want a good laugh.

They are in a bubble, and bubbles can last for years. They also drive innovation.

How many times has bitcoin hard-forked because of the protocol being compromised? How much daily volume is it currently supporting? How does the velocity of the codebase compare to other coins?

I believe the lawyer in the video, James Duane, now recommends the phrase, "I want a lawyer," as the correct response to any police question. As some have mentioned, mere silence is not enough to invoke one's constitutional rights and could in fact be used as a legal argument as to your guilt.

You should take a look at IOTA's github repo.

Thank you for the clarification.

Same TOS

From coinbase TOS:

You acknowledge that the quoted Buy Price Conversion Rate may not be the same as the Sell Price Conversion Rate at any given time, and that Coinbase may add a margin or “spread” to the quoted Conversion Rate.

It is my understanding that trading one for another, (BTC to ETH, for example), is a taxable event thus has to be reported.

Each bitcoin can be subdivided by 100,000,000 units (satoshis).

Do you regularly test your vitamin D levels?

Exactly. Nobody complains about the transaction capacity of gold. Bitcoin is a store of value - especially useful if our financial system sours again.

The rates paid to songwriters by Spotify & Pandora are similar: about $0.00007 per play.

Bobby?

A legendary engineer educated me about NS10s. With a great amp and a sub, they sound fantastic - especially when listening at low volume. As in... lower than the volume of a normal conversation.

7) Post-accident attribution accident to a ‘root cause’ is fundamentally wrong. Because overt failure requires multiple faults, there is no isolated ‘cause’ of an accident. There are multiple contributors to accidents. Each of these is necessary insufficient in itself to create an accident. Only jointly are these causes sufficient to create an accident. Indeed, it is the linking of these causes together that creates the circumstances required for the accident. Thus, no isolation of the ‘root cause’ of an accident is possible. The evaluations based on such reasoning as ‘root cause’ do not reflect a technical understanding of the nature of failure but rather the social, cultural need to blame specific, localized forces or events for outcomes.

I don't agree with you, but an interested in your view. What in your opinion is the best implementation of a blockchain?

I think it would be a mistake to assume performance cannot improve.

Bitcoin: "I'm going to create $8B out of thin air"

Fed: "Hold my beer..."
