  1. Bullying on US Lawmakers Want Google To Reconsider Links To China's Huawei (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I view that as full Bullying from the gov.

  2. Re:Throw this scum in jail on A Florida Man Has been Accused of Making 97 Million Robocalls (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    this! I don't see why the system allowed someone to call me without first revealing their identity first!

  3. Re:It's all garbage on 'What's Facebook?', Elon Musk Asks, As He Deletes SpaceX and Tesla Facebook Pages · · Score: 1

    In general in Twitter you don't post all your real life friend, family, co-working and picture and places of everything you go and like.

  4. Microsoft will charge more... with less result on Atlanta City Government Systems Down Due To Ransomware Attack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm pretty Microsoft will charge more AND some data will be lost on many many computers. I don't think they have full disk backup on every computer, plus all the time wasted before everything is back online.

  5. Re:Bitcoin is Garbage on Child Abuse Imagery Found Within Bitcoin's Blockchain (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you think the current banking sector is waiting a huge amount of resources? How about everyone driving their car to go to work? How about to scrappers and data centres? Bitcoin is an experiment if you don't like it, fine, but let the science go.

  6. Miner will move their business elsewhere where they are welcome. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

  7. Re:Oil backing not needed. on Venezuela Launches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin cannot be mined at will, there are rules that make it very hard. This is the "backing". Those Petro dollars are NOT MINED, it's gov centralized entity that decides how many there is. They will flood the network with newly created Petro coin as they always did. The only reason Bitcoin works is because nobody controlled it; because of it's mining process.

  8. Tether claim 2.2G a bank account / no audit!!! on Twitter Bans Notorious Bitfinex and Tether Critic Bitfinex'ed (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Extraordinary claim required extraordinary proof. The burden is on the side of Tether to proof they really have the money. They have been "printing" money like crazy without any audit at all!

  9. Re:Use a tape on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Build a Private TV Channel For My Kids? · · Score: 1

    Ironically that was indeed simple. We had one of those TV with the DVD integrated, when you insert a cassette it would play right away... no input to change or sound bar to open. Dead simple.

  10. I agree with you, I don't think you can connect the wire and get all the data in clear text...

  11. Why 64bit is faster than 32bit? on Nvidia To Cease Producing New Drivers For 32-Bit Systems (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I feel this statement is wrong 99% of the times except maybe when you need more than 32 bit addressing or doing computation using very large numbers. I think most application are faster on 32bit than 64bit.

  12. Bitcoin Cash is not a new idea, it's the original on Bitcoin's Value Plummeted Overnight and No One Knows Why (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you ever consider that maybe Full Block, Replace by fee, Segwit and LN are new things that got added and create the problem? Bitcoin Cash is not a new idea, it's not a new concept, it's the same old thing as described in the original white paper. That's why the name is the same. Bitcoin Cash IS Bitcoin. Bitcoin core is trying new stuff that don't work. We see it right now! More reading: https://www.bitcoin.com/info/w...

    The problem is not with Bitcoin but with exchange not keeping their private key securely.

  15. Re: As good an excuse ... on Bitcoin Fees Are Skyrocketing (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Credit cards can add 2-3% of the transaction, for you that may be small, but for most retailers, it's mostly their end profit margin. Bitcoin [core] is charging a ridiculously high fee because those stupid dev refuses to increase the block size. It's 1 MB per 10 minutes, you probably use more your cell phone than that. Thank god, it's open source and there is a fork call Bitcoin Cash that reset the fee to 1 or less. They are preparing for 1 GB block, tests are already made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  16. Bitcoin CAN scale on Bitcoin Fees Are Skyrocketing (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    Bitcoin is open source and the current limitation is more politic than technological limit. 1 mb per 10 minutes is a joke... I can be increase a 1000 times each with little change... Bitcoin Cash will release that soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  17. Re:Bitcoin futures? LOL on Launch of Bitcoin Futures Trading Crashes CBOE Site (thestreet.com) · · Score: 1

    This is a not a joke, you can short Bitcoin on many platform... go ahead!

  18. Steam abandon Bitcoin [core] because fee was too high and transaction unreliable. That's debate has been going for YEARS and bitcoin can scale much much more, it's software limitation that prevents more transactions. That's why Bitcoin Cash got created the last August.... company will relaunch using Bitcoin that cost less than 1 and can be accepted instantly.

    I'm pretty happy actually. What about you? Oh wait you probably don't own any Bitcoin.

    I don't think it would work this time :)

  21. Re:When it takes 7 or more minutes to confirm txns on Bitcoin Tumbles From Record High After Exchanges Confirm Outage · · Score: 0

    Bitcoin Cash is a fork that occurred on August that can be accepted instantly because transactions are reliable. If you have a perfectly signed transaction you can be pretty sure it will be included in the next block or so. Unless you trade a huge amount of money for everyday purchase 0-confirmation transaction is safe to accept. This was the case on Bitcoin SegWit until they voluntary prevent to raise the limit, jammed the mempol and started to drop transactions because there was no enough room to confirm them all.

  22. Re:Not lost forever on Nearly 4 Million Bitcoins Lost Forever, New Study Says (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would you brute force your old key while it's the same difficulty to brute for some address with over 1 billion in them... https://bitinfocharts.com/top-... The law of number makes it impossible for now... even with computer billions time faster, would not solve the issue.

  23. Re:Satoshi Nakamoto owns about a million BTC on Bitcoin Smashes Past $7,000 For the First Time (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Those coins haven't moved since their own creation. Satoshi may have them, may have lost them, may have destroyed them or may even be dead. Who knows. For the best of Bitcoin, those coins should not resurface... or at least not all at once!
