You did, he's a troll. RES tag him and just downvote.

So?

For services, such as Reddit gold, it's done instantly. If you double spend (which requires you to have enough hashing power by the way, not something everyone can do), Reddit automatically removes the gold status.

For sending money to a friend, they're going to trust you, right? You won't double spend.

My point is that double spending has little practical effect. I checked your posting history, and you're actually a troll from /r/Buttcoin. Added you to the ignore list.

It doesn't, but when you're buying a TV online you'd probably want to use a merchant arbitration service -- so you don't get scammed. If not, the merchant will have to wait one hour before shipping out your item which will take a number of days to arrive. Big deal?

Bitcoin double spends can be disputed with Multisig.

Actually, Bitcoin transactions are instant (~2-3 seconds) but take a hour to settle/confirm. Credit cards take 60 days to settle/confirm.

Ignore Aalewis__, he's a troll.

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, many robots.txt pages can be useless to the index and only take up space. Imagine a search engine starting to index google.com/search?q=x

Secondly, it'll get complaints.

Thirdly, for poorly coded sites it might end up rating everything 1 2 3 4 5 stars, archive stuff, post empty comments, et.

There's no general purpose search engine that does that, I believe. Certainly not any with decent indexes.

Are there any ripple users in New Zealand? by themusicgod1 in ripplers

[–]goldcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That correct, but I think without very accessible gateways it will be very difficult, (my opinion on impractical), for enough NZ users to use ripple. Kind of like the chicken and the egg problem.

Bitcoin had the advantage that at it's very early stage, no regulators cared about it. Now Bitcoin already paved the way for cryptocurrency regulation, it's harder for newer coins to build their userbase.

Not while we still have a free, viral form of communication. Concentration camps would not be possible with social media.

That's exactly what the NSA surveillance is trying to clamp down upon.

Try Typing USD to BTC in Google by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitcoin has the intrinsic value of being decentralized, and allowing arbitrary data storage (cost: TX fees) on a globally distributed Blockchain. That's more intrinsic value than the USD.

But they won't be looking for Ripple, because any NZ Ripple gateway will get shut down.

Source: We've been in discussions with all the banks and we've been rejected from every single one for mentioning ripple gateway (after months of delay in 'processing').

No. Remember that we outnumber them thousands to one.

Their biggest weapon is attempting to neuter our natural force (the same ones they, as government use every day). But when shit hits the fan, like when the most basic life necessaries of water is being privatized, this starts unimagined unrest and I will be every part of it, including expending my life.

What does the world's fastest Tor node have to do with Bitcoin? by isivaxa in Bitcoin

This is Mike Hearn's Tor node. He is building a database of Tor tainted coins as part of his coin taint proposal.

It should be obvious that this Tor node is also owned by Mike Hearn, as it has the same properties.

How I ended up conducting the most successful technical interviews with a single question by m_ologin in programming

It's nice that he has amazing passion for programming, I don't personally. I code a lot but won't code for the sake of coding - it has to be something I want for me to appreciate coding. Am I alone?

People don't like coding. People like developing and creating. If you have nothing that motivates you so much to work when you get home, it's not about your programming ability but rather your motivation.

This isn't exactly correct. "may be", "intentionally", etc can be still considered for defamation and slander. However, the 'defense of truth' requirement is weakened to simply backing your claims, eg you must prove that [x] may have been [y] instead of having to prove that [x] has been [y].

Why is economical growth necessary in a rich country? by player1337 in askscience

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct. However, the 'economic activity' they suppress is spent on other things for the consumer, resulting in net positive GDP across the entire economy - a decrease in GDP in the industry.
