It died briefly, but got resurrected again, still - I registered back in 1998 when the page was: counter.li.org -
Re:Well, that's it.
That's the last kernel that I as an individual was vaguely able to keep up with. Now it's such a bloated mess that unless you've been part of the development team for decades, you're really not going to be able to maintain an understanding. It seems nearly every project in computing goes this way. Oh well, sic transit and stuff.
According to this chart 2.6.32 had ~9.8 MLoC so I'd say you weren't doing too shabby. In fact if you can keep up with over half the current kernel at ~16.8 MLoC, Linus might be hiring...

Re:Bitcoin is a joke!
Give us a break about BitCoin and this non-sense that given the fact that it failed
Failed at what exactly? Neither you nor the article define exactly what it is that it has failed at.
Linux is only 1-2% of desktops after 20 years... is that a failure? Scale isn;t great but look how many linux users there were after 3 years
Sure bitcoin is still niche, revolutionary change doesn't happen overnight. Price discovery takes a while and often overshoots. Same with equities, and even indexes. That's all speculation driven. Beneath that there is an economy of sorts - it's small, tiny but thats how things starts.
If/when it gets outlawed, then I think we can start talking about failure. Thought technically it never failed - if anything, outlawing it suggests it was threatening to be a success.
