GetFlix VPN experiences? by mcmelonhead in australia

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your experience with their VPN! If you're looking for another provider, I just started PrivacyToggle. We definitely do not leak DNS, and we use standard OpenVPN (just download our .opvn giles and go).

If you want to try it out, PM me and I can give you a test account!

No surprise. When you offer a better service, people will come. I especially like how it is unmetered on Optus here, now if only I had the speeds to steam ultra HD...

What's the current state of Bitcoin? How does the future look? by Leovinus_Jones in OutOfTheLoop

Bitcin is insecure and has been hacked many times, the central bank of bitcoin (Bitcoin Foundation) is being challenged / dissolved and they may stop development on the software.

Depending on the task, (1) is sometimes incredibly useful. In game economies such as Dota and CSGO are restricting credit card transactions due to chargebacks and reversals.

Credit card fraud is still rampart and causes billions of dollars in losses each year. For some transactions, irreversibility makes sense.

Steam prices look set to increase in Australia as 10% tax hike is confirmed. by Kwibjo in Games

You are mistaken if you think I care about the bottom line of some corporation. If another region is selling a game for half the price, I'm buying it.

The government of Denmark wants people to stop using cash. Article mentions Bitcoin as an alternative. by Gonzotron5000 in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it can't at 1 MB. Users still need to deposit in and out of "other methods".

Bitcoin is not ready for mass adoption at a 1 MB block size, regardless of whatever "other methods" you find because it must be sufficiently liquid so you can deposit and withdraw to "other methods".

Think about it: If it takes 11 days for you to turn your BTC into Lightning BTC, and 11 days to turn your Lightning BTC back into BTC... Will it work?

Missing money on Bitfinex by fuzee_64 in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me a few months ago. It took them a week to sort out my account, apparently there was a "data corruption issue". My balance was 3 BTC (yea, BTC) less than what it should be.

They told me they fixed the issue. Clearly not. I've been trading on OKCoin ever since, so I can still get leverage.

The sets you got from the drop system used to be tradable.

The sets that drop are not marketable.

Screw the hard limit, let's change the block size limit via algorithm instead. by cryptonaut420 in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not a valid reason. Changing it to 20 MB is actually a lot more complicated, as you need to take in account earlier blocks are still capped at 1 MB.

This solution isn't even that complicated, Bitcoin does it already for network difficulty. Valid objections are those that point out economic or technological reasons why it cannot be done.

Gavin Andresen: UTXO uh-oh... by carsten_ger in Bitcoin

The UXTO is not stored in RAM, it is saved to disk using LevelDB.

The mempool (pool of pending transactions that haven't been included in a block) is stored in RAM.

Did a core developer just confuse the two?!?

(Serious) At the end of a job interview when they ask me, "So, do you have any questions?", what are some genuinely good questions to ask? by happylittledancer123 in AskReddit

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the qualifications where they're more interested in hiring you, then this is one of the best questions to ask.

You are not using Twitter to host it, it's just an iframe.

Twitter is not paying for your data usage.
