This is really misleading. ETH may handle more than the top crypto m by market cap, but Steemit and Bitshares dwarf all of these combined by number of transactions.
They could be on a strand where they figured out how to stop the need for ODECs :)
You should have used Parambulator to create a more precise model :) Awesome job.

I really enjoyed your post and look forward to reading the series. I would suggest you try out Steemit.com as this is their business model as well, they already have a large community, and this type of post/series would be like catnip over there.

In my opinion this is the greatest, television series of all time. The way every loose end is tied up and they show that really nothing has changed, the cycle just repeats itself... it's a master stroke. I moved to Baltimore years after the series ended, but it could still have been made here today. Just with smartphones and encryption. The players are stil the same and the city is pretty much unchanged in terms of the underlying issues.

And my apartment is across the street from stringers copy shop :)

This country (USA) throws away $537 Billion retail in food annually. I don't think it's just this guy.

Multisignature wallets mean that you can beat the credentials out of a person and still not be able to access the coins. You would have to figure out who else had keys and beat then too. Raising the difficulty a non-trivial level.

This is the rebrand. This project was initially ZeroCoin, then ZeroCash, and now the abbreviated ZCash
Re:How Do You Make Turbo Engines More Efficient? Just Add Water on Friday September 30, 2016 @10:46AM (#12612744)
Could the need to manually refill water periodically be replaced by a condenser that constantly pulled ambient moisture out of the air? The total amount of water they are talking about is not very much. This seems like it could be solved without constant topping off.

Funny enough, I remember people having this exact sentiment about PayPal in 2001.

Paul,you don't know me. But this could not have been more perfectly timed. Thank you, so much.
Re:“We are left with no choice but to shut down Flytenow” on Tuesday December 22, 2015 @03:16PM (#10780100)
Then why allow PPL holders to have passengers at all. Why does it magically change when you split a tank of gas with me? I agree, I am skeptical of flying with low hours pilots. I AM a low hour pilot and I'm skeptical of flying myself! But it would be perfectly legal for me to take passengers as a PPL holder. It's also perfectly legal for me and others to share the flight costs down to a common destination. As long as I don't pay less than my fair share. I think saying that something is transformed when I say on a public forum "Hey guys, I'm going to New Orleans for the weekend. Anyone want to come down and split costs with me?" Is being dishonest.

Either passengers can assess the danger, or they can't.

Paying for half a tank of gas does not change that.

This is awesome. We run CGM in the cloud for my 8 yo type 1. It alone has been such a huge benefit. I have wondered about zero basal to prevent lows. Thanks for pioneering here. Would love to hear more.

I think that their irresponsible reporting bringing numerous death threats upon an innocent man probably weighs in somewhere.
Parallel Construction

Bitcoin Across America (Running from Miami to SF) almost finished.

Hi HN,On January 26th, I took off running from Miami Beach, Florida with the goal of running all the way to San Francisco. I did this to raise awareness for the homeless epidemic in America and Bitcoin.I know that sounds weird, but it makes more sense when you know I run a crypto currency funded homeless outreach.Anyway. I just made it into Sunnyvale. Will be in Mountain View soon. Frolicking...

Re:I'm About as Good as Dead: The End of Xah Lee on Friday May 16, 2014 @09:56AM (#7755497)
Xah,It really sounds like you need a bitcoin address. Coinbase.com (YC S12) is a great place to start. Once you have some coins, you will find no shortage of people in the bay area willing to buy them off of you.

I would even be willing to run a btc fundraiser on your behalf. I don't have a lot of rep on here, but it's pretty solid in the bitcoin space. Google Jason King Bitcoin or Sean's Outpost

Best of luck, man. Stay strong.

Yes, it is correcting back to what it was...this morning.

Im really surprised that doesn't exist yet. YC applications still open? :)

Being in an extremely economically depressed area of the country doesn't help either.
