Not only that, but they demonetize small channels too. I have a small, hobby Youtube channel, which contains mostly footage from games, such as World of Tanks replays and bugs from a variety of other games. Never thought about making money off it, but monetized a few videos just to see what happens. About two weeks ago I received an e-mail from Google telling me they revised their policies and all channels with under 1000 subscribers or this many minutes viewed per month would be demonetized. All for maybe 5 dollars I made in 6 months.
I'll let you figure out how many of those are ASIC-mineable. Answer: not many. This doesn't mean ASICs can't be built for them, after all you can build an ASIC for anything. The issue is some of the algorithms make building and using ASICs prohibitively expensive.
Yes, my country has an endemic corruption mindset, stemming from 45 years of communism (until 1989) and a continuation of the same mentality ever since.
I agree. But why did everyone wait 35 years to bring it up? It's more than the time needed for murders to not be investigated anymore in certain jurisdictions.
OK, replace that with "cancel all drawing contracts for any existing animations" - is that okay? Throwing someone in jail for a couple years, after which they can continue their career seems to be the better alternative.
The problem is the confusion between the art and the artist, so to speak. Many, many people were complete assholes as a person, but they deeply contributed to art or science. They can be celebrated as scientists / artists and despised from a behavior perspective, at the same time.
1. You might not be important enough. 2. You might not be powerful enough. 3. There might be no advantage for anyone in accusing you (yet). 4. Not enough time passed. 5. The wave hasn't crashed upon you yet.
Because you could be next. "Offensive behavior" and "sexual harassment" are very vaguely defined. Hell, you could ask a co-worker out right now, with the best intentions, fully respecting today's rules, and be called a "slimy asshole" 30 years down the line, simply because 30 years from now the rules will have changed to the extent your today's actions would be immoral, or, God forbid, illegal.
Their actions from the 70s are reproachable by today's standards, but they were standard behavior back then.
So watch out, they might come for you some time in the future. Are you sure you've done nothing wrong by 2040's standards?
You might want to learn more about culture history, my friend. A few decades ago, The Flintstones (cartoon characters) were advertising cigarettes during cartoon breaks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAExoSozc2c). This is now illegal, however we're not chasing the poor bastards who drew those commercials to throw them in jail, do we?

I'm not sure anyone knots.
Hmm let's see...
Here's a list of all mineable coins: https://coinmarketcap.com/coin...

It's not but since "Microsoft" word showed up, people here on /. would foam at the mouth anyway.
I can't go somewhere and pay for my coffee by directly handing over 20 shares of BigCorp. I can go places and pay directly using crypto.
Where can you buy coffee directly with cryptocoins?

I wonder why was he banned, I mean the true reason. Was he breaking the EULA or some Twitter rules?
Well... it is. Way worse.
Um... your post reinforces my post, by the way. Thanks, I guess?
Because people tend to become nationalistic and say "look what happens in $COUNTRY" and continue by thinking "my country is better".
Name a country where this doesn't happen.
So, no different from blackmailing.
"If you get an award, we're going to bring up the shit from way back in your life".
I agree. But why did everyone wait 35 years to bring it up? It's more than the time needed for murders to not be investigated anymore in certain jurisdictions.
Care to define it yourself, please?
You just wait a few years. It's going to happen.

It's a witch hunt, nothing else.
Possible reasons:
1. You might not be important enough.
2. You might not be powerful enough.
3. There might be no advantage for anyone in accusing you (yet).
4. Not enough time passed.
5. The wave hasn't crashed upon you yet.

Let's burn Freud's writings, then.
I do not "want" regulated cryptocurrencies, but I am expecting them.
...which makes it unfeasible because RAM prices are through the roof.
It's not that it's unfeasible, it's that there are better options.
That makes the solution "unfeasible".
Requiring a lot of memory is enough to make a coin ASIC resistant. Not fully, truly resistant, but generally unfeasible to implement.
