This reminds me of the machine starred in the "Casper, the friendly ghost" movie i watched as a kid. I hope you run more QA though. Would love to see your 2nd Prototype. Keep up the good work!
Re:You don't need a blockchain in that
on Monday May 21, 2018 @11:42AM (#17119196)
One of the biggest advantages of a blockchain is it's ability to trust the entries written on a distributed ledger and actions that are automatcally executed when certain criteria is met regarding those entries(This statement ignores the fact that it's still possible to take over a blockchain if you control enough of it) There are a lot of industry specific business cases where the elimination of a 3rd party trust authority would save a lot of money. Remember that not only physical goods can be stored on a blockchain. Consider a contract where multiple participants are required to execute actions in a pre defined order. In theory there are a gazillion use cases for a data structure with that kind of behaviour. In reality it most of the time comes down to the scaling ability of transactions executed/s, which is horrible at the moment.

What other factors played a role in your decision to use rust over other languages when 128bit arithmetic played such an important role you wrote inline assembly for it?

Re:Why has WhatsApp accessed my contacts 23,709 times?
on Friday November 20, 2015 @03:11PM (#10603522)
Would be an intetesting article if network traffic would`ve been tracked. The difference between accessing the contact list in a 30sec intervall vs additonally sending the gathered information to their servers is a huge difference. Be it power consumption or traffic wise. Maybe its a mechanism to prevent stand by mode? I made the experience that, if i turn on power save mode i only recieve messages if i actively open whatsapp.
