The problem is that torture has not been shown to be effective, even in very time sensitive scenarios like you describe. Pardon me, but have you even read the report?!

As concerns with Ripple/Stellar consensus system become more serious, Stellar moves to a CENTRALIZED transaction confirmation system. by BitcoinAllah in Bitcoin

Agreed. The Ripple consensus model has always been broken -- it's basically "Agree on the same authoritative nodes, or fork for you". That's not how you build a decentralized blockchain.

Are you clueless? Crypto note introduced new cryptographic systems. These systems are things that can be defined by latex equations. The quality of that has no correlation with the quality of the codebase.

The core devs are not one entity. They have conflicting opinions ALL THE TIME. Liken literally all the time, including this time. Read who authored the paper.. It's not Peter Todd.

Furthermore, Peter Todd is referring to the codebase, not the cryptographic systems.

Ripple/Stellar are altcoins, it doesn't belong here. Many people also subscribe to /r/cryptocurrency, and proper use of subreddit allow people who want to see altcoins see them, and others who don't want to see them... not see them.

This should be posted in /r/cryptocurrency

Keep in mind we have national health care. Everyone who smokes costs our health system a lot of money.

Fiverr ripping off people who decide to pay with bitcoin! Taking enormous 10% fee! Even more than Visa and Mastercard! Ridiculous! by ace-spade in Bitcoin

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

It's misleading to see "$5 - Buy now" and "everything for $5" when it is actually $5.50. Granted, that is small but they charge a fee for to the buyer AND the seller.

Their fees are exorbitant and I don't offer my services there any more.

Makes sense to focus on the region that makes you the most money.

No, not correct. I'm a fiverr seller and they take 20% off all my earnings, in addition to around 3% when I withdraw.

The 50c fee is in addition to that.

When kdbus will become merged in kernel, using udev without systemd will become impossible. Lennart shuts down discussion calling any opposition "haters". by rotek in linux

If journald fails my syslog won't get log files. The main problem with systemd is its "my way or else attitude".

Why can't systemd support syslog and journald? Why can't systemd support udev and alternatives? Why can't I use the kdbus userspace without systemd?

This thread is about Blockchain.info, not you. Stop plugging everywhere half relevant with your ad, because we are a community, not a billboard.

For anyone curious, just look through this guys transaction history. Literally pages and pages of "hey check out Coinkite guys" on irrelevant threads.

They added that text AFTER the guy got arrested. Law enforcement saw a "relayed by IP", subpoenaed and stormed in. Not terribly unexpected.

Because politics are being used to make systemd a tumor. It has so many hard dependencies in things that has no business of being so.

How about systemd flying in the face of the Linux philosophy of "do one thing and do it well"?

systemd is not just init. It also handles things like network management, DHCP, UPNP, login management, and is about to even start handling package management. It acts as a second kernel to Linux. It's hijacking Linux.

Oh, sorry but you can't grep logs anymore. They're stored in a binary format.

Reddit is heavily manipulated. Properly used encryption works and removes you from mass surveillance programs. Not what the social media agents want people to know.

You might think I'm paranoid, but if you check people's comment history you will realize in topics about NSA, protests, FBI, wikileaks, Russia, ISIS, other foreign policy, etc one of the top comments consistently belongs to particular users with a particular message. The hivemind is being molded.
