yeah, definitely not consecutive.

Only had problems when a classmate was running routed.

Oh, and all authorized IPs were in a public address space.

I wonder what the average time the user will disconnect it after they don't get paid?

It may be worth it to just sacrifice it after a month. I am sure it is profitable, but as people become more aware, it will be harder for them to do this.

3 cents per user per month. Is that right?

Is it hard to make 3 cents a month from a user?

My college used to do similar. If you did not register your MAC address, you would be DHCP assigned into a walled-garden IP block.

We found we could run an IP scanner on the authorized subnet (from a computer with a whitelisted MAC), and find the unused IPs, and just set those statically for 'visitors'.

No need to register any more MAC addresses.

No, but if you accept the answer, you get $15.

I am just curious of the age group here.

Yes!!!

I was thinking use-cases for house guests or very non-technical folks (what is a bookmark?).

Have you worked in manufacturing with ERP systems and BoM transactions?

I could see how this would be useful for medical device manufacturing, especially something like a pacemaker.

I can see its applicability in any kind of chain of trust for distribution of physical goods that have a potential to be counterfit or improperly handled/processed.

Also, I see a possibility for licensing/DRM of some types of media IP.

That does not mean it needs to be distributed, though.

Service records for the life of the car.

Vehicle purchasing/financing paperwork.

Inspection tracking.

Re:How Blockchain Works on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @01:10PM (#18078065)
Is it necessary to be based on the prefix, or can it be implemented by pattern, for instance, every even byte is zero, or the 4 bytes after the first 3 bytes must be all 7s, etc?

Is it simply brute-forcing hashes, looking for matching patterns that are not yet known?

Re:How Blockchain Works on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @01:04PM (#18077990)
Why is it assumed a blockchain is always distributed?

I think that distinction needs to be made (centralized vs distributed).

Re:Mmm, Pi-hole on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @12:54PM (#18077869)
What about WS2811s with a pushbutton to temporarily disable, or a pushbutton on one of the GPIO pins, with the switch in a central location?
Pretty sure they only need to worry about dot com.
Do you have enough capital to become a registrar?

Use BGP?

Re:How Seattle blew its chance at a subway system (2016) on Friday September 21, 2018 @01:02PM (#18041070)
I had a neighbor that would back their car out of the garage to the mailbox to get the mail, then drive back into their garage.

The mailbox was less than 50 feet from the frontdoor.

Re:Self-driving homes could be the future of affordable housing on Thursday September 20, 2018 @07:01PM (#18036080)
I talked with some friends about this idea.

A solar-powered RV that never stops and can follow the seasons or chase daylight...

As I have gotten older, this is a good way to judge potential employers, especially if they cannot articulate the mission.

How long did it take you to complete each course?

Do you have a recommended 'schedule'?

I have tried twice, but have not finished.

I meant religous fast versus an occidental fast...
