not at all, it’s easy to buy cash only tracphone, mint, boost, etc. and there are plenty of explicit anonymous providers such as phreeli.
That said, I don’t think its a problem whatsoever and we shouldn’t have laws restricting it.
While I agree on the core idea, I found the way you went about saying it pretty embarrassing.
Fair, but the point stands.
What do you think about it being a preventative measure against future SBFs?
It seems pretty likely this was an intentional leak meant as a viral outrage based advertising campaign. The content is not just ridiculous but also underdeveloped for someone who actually believed it. And since I'm now reading it here on HN I suppose it worked.
It’s just not a lot of money in most cases. Often in the hundred to few thousand range. And there is usually a data sample, such as the schema and the first 100 rows, or a demo. Of course, those aren’t strict guarantees but it does make faking it all more difficult.
Escrow was pretty popular on Raidforums, high reputation forum users would not only escrow transactions directly but also do things like pseudo-publicly validate or invalidate claims by checking a sellers data or tools against their own collections (presumably the benefits of being a professional hacker escrow and seeing lots of data).
I have a hard time believing that’s a legitimate statistic. Even being a normal daily smoker would equate to a lot more than 2%.
That’s because it’s for the $250 deposit.
I know that’s what one would expect, but it’s not true. Many large ransomware distributors have a solid record of keeping their word and established relationships with the negotiation firms. Trustworthiness and honesty lead to more payouts and they have no interest in your data or doing you harm, just getting paid.
I don’t know the specifics of federal authority when it comes to internet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it fell under interstate commerce, which is how they justify federal drug laws.
The Y axis is dollars, not BTC.
Don’t commercial hydrogen fuel cells create water as a byproduct?
Not certain at all, it’s based on last universal common ancestor estimates(LUCA) and supported by (lack of) fossil record.
Sounds interesting, but after reading the entire page I’m still not sure I understand it.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t tell the full story. Features and optimizations often come with costs such as security and complexity. Not to mention many cryptocurrency projects have an embedded self-enrichment scheme for the founders and centralized decision making, making them a theoretical target for governments. Sometimes a simple, well tested solution is better than a complex one with better performance and features. After all, money should be simple and carry low technical risk.
That said, I personally think features found in some other projects are worth the costs. But I can definitely see why someone would still choose btc. Especially for a government initiative or treasury.
Ham bands are jammed with traffic? My experience is you can barely find anyone, except on repeaters, and even then it’s pretty quiet besides during scheduled check-ins in the evening (or similar events.)
I even travel with my radio. It seems to be this way across the United States. If you’d be open to sharing, I’d love to know where it’s so saturated.
That said, I don’t want commercial interests to take the amateur bands either, but I do believe they need to modernized. I think some of the space should be unallocated, and left that way, so people can experiment with minimal restriction.
No offense but it sounds like you need to take a media break and get some air. Go camping.
Decred is a cryptocurrency who’s core offering is an expanded governance system. Although at the top it’s pretty much run by the company right now.
There’s nothing wrong with a neutral, politically uninterested party running the infrastructure for profit reasons. In fact it’s probably better than a bunch of charged and opinionated members trying to sway influence one way or another.
Decred has ASICs and there is nothing they can realistically jump to.
I think it’s by height in which case it makes sense… maybe.
It’s more like social networks. Sure you may have a similar (or better) Twitter but everyone is on Twitter so it’s hard to get any traction.
If you do capture a significant number of real users than yes there’s not much difference.
People will mention the fees or efficiency but the fact is a lot of the underdogs have not had to face any actual load so it’s easy to brag about low fees.
Very light reading with large, unsubstantiated leaps and derivative opinions. The fact that work of this quality is getting traction just makes the HN anti-crypto bias evident. Do they even click through?
Am I missing something? The link you posted directly links to a clear statement that they don’t and never will hold. Where’s the sidestepping?
I find Apple Maps totally fine and basically on par with Google maps today. It was indeed trash when it came out but I use it exclusively now and haven’t had any issues in a couple years. My one gripe is the deep Yelp integration.
It’s amazing how a company like Facebook, loaded with cash and talent and influence, can develop such an uninspired and conservative version that’s basically doomed to painfully forced success at best.
To be honest that’s all self inflicted. It may be painful to downsize to a sustainable model but these aren’t hard costs - at least not to the extent they exist now.
Yes, by legitimate I meant genuine rather than authorized.
Still early, but looks like damage control to me.
