The design is impeccable and it's pleasurable to read; a rare combination.
Many of the bold claims in this document are completely unsubstantiated.

Question 7: How does the Law regulate Blockchain and cryptocurrencies? It can't. The principle argument that deals will be safe because the HTP residents are 'trusted and respectable companies' is naive and invalidates the fundamentally trustless model of blockchains.

Question 8: How is the mining activity of individuals regulated? Won't they launder funds through Belarus? Money laundering happens every day with fiat currency, and with cryptocurrencies this is even easier. Exchanging currencies across both blockchains and boarders introduces innumerable difficulties for detection of money laundering.

Re:How to contribute to an open source project on GitHub on Saturday November 05, 2016 @02:24PM (#12881095)
For anyone that is new to contributing to projects using git for version control I strongly recommend giving this tutorial a read: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/syncing

Additionally, the best way to learn git is to use it so try all the examples.

To write good programs that provide any useful functionality often a solid understanding of architecture and Mathematics is required. These skills are better understood in my opinion without focusing on software development as the end goal. A child is likely to be self motivated to write software if they have these skills and, most importantly, a desire to do so.

An interesting but unsurprising result - we want a private web.
That was amazing!
