There is no Internet.

Just somebody else’s intranet Contrary to popular belief: You do NOT have internet access! Unless you accessed the internet back in the 90s, you likely don’t have internet access. WHAT? What do you mean I have no access to the internet??? …

STAS Protocol — Clearing up the air

There has been a lot of confusion over the differences in token platforms and continuous mention of some misunderstood notions about what happens to servers when they receive a token which it has not yet seen or indexed, so I thought this would be a good time to clear some…

Bitcoin.com’s new “Trading Platform” really just for online gambling?

Bitcoin.com recently launched a new trading platform. Bitcoin.com Trading Except that they don’t list it as a trading platform, as that would fall under the new FINCEN guidelines, and potentially land them in trouble with the law. Even if we believe Bitcoin.com’s pitch that his exchange is for trade, it…

“End the Fed”? — Maybe Learn What the Fed Does First!

I was recently lurking on one of the online crypto forums where a bunch of ‘connectors’ and social media mavens use to bring developers and venture capitalists together with people who want to get involved in crypto but are not sure what they can do to help. The topic turned (as it often does) to how we should ‘take down’ the fiat money system. *sigh*. This is quite often the battlecry used by the crypto mavens to galvanize support from developers and armchair anarchists, as the anti-establishment theme seems to be able to rouse the most revolutionaries…

The Bangkok Summit: The failed last attempt to prevent the BCH Split

So the BCH fork is over. And one party sort of cheated by bringing in their mercenaries to fight the war, and to usurp their BCH chain for themselves, which was not miners who have been mining the chain for the since BCH’s birth. But leaving all that politics behind, I would like to leave the official record of the Bangkok meeting which took place in Aug 30th 2018, in which the ABC and the nChain group and chinese miners tried to keep BCH together as one blockchain. …

Nepotism vs Meritocracy: Which would you prefer?

If you ask anyone who works at any company, which would they prefer, they would most likely say meritocracy. Meritocracy is the form of corporate governance that bases rewards and prestige on how much one contributes to the company and the value of those contributions, as opposed to nepotism, which…
