This is just. If a president can pardon people preemptively then they can pardon someone retroactively as well.

Actually... the account model is much easier to use to get an accurate view of all balances than the UTXO model. As for rollbacks, Bitcoin had one in 2010 ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Value_overflow_incident ) and a chai

The traceability of very much part of design of most blockchains, starting with Bitcoin. The whitepaper makes this clear in section "10) Privacy" and the article quotes half of the relevant text. The remaining half states: "A

The "bug" is that some developers think of matching function signatures as some form of authN / authZ. A few years back I wrote https://medium.com/coinmonks/lashing-out-at-a-spank-channel-... about a sim

>Another aspect of this is 51% attacks are recoverable for PoW, but are a permanent takeover condition for PoS networks. If a single entity ever accumulates more than half the tokens on a PoS network, they are unassailable. This is not t

I think the parseInt example is more of a gotcha of point-free syntax. Normally it would be written as ['1','7','11'].map(e => parseInt(e))

Mind you that a tx in the mempool has not yet produced any changes to state. In BTC you can also replace-by-fee for instance ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_replacement ). This page ( https://github.co

I wonder if the self-deprecation might be a corporate branding thing? In Portugal a couple of years back there was a "marketing war" where one retailer's message went something like: "smart people buy with us" while

Most of what I know I picked up by looking at AMM vendor websites and papers as well as attending industry conferences and talking with the people there.

You're new to this :-) Look all cryptos are extremely volatile because the real market liquidity is an order of magnitude less than most people think it is, and the way automated market makers work force all exchanges to keep their pri

Just curious but have you tried Hegel ( https://hegel.js.org/ )? I've only just started playing with it but it already feels superior to Typescript (for my needs)

For now the combo of a Rust backend with native TypeScript support means that type safety can be expected (but not enforced) and disabling access to net and system by default does improve on Node's behaviour and reduces the risk of imp

I've been looking into streams in detail recently because I'm preparing for the OpenJSF exam... maybe this is relevant to you too: https://nodejs.org/es/docs/guides/backpressuring-in-streams/

Well, first of all thank you for your earlier comment. My anxiety is peaking lately... I have no idea exactly why I answered like that but what I meant was that while I'm not familiar with the US payment system, I do know the European

Im in the EU and we don't have Fedwire here. I can tell you that ABN AMRO charges me ~10 euros for transferring ~200 eur to the UK (with conversion to GBP). Generally speaking I'm quite familiar with payment infra in Europe, I&#x2

Not familiar with Fedwire. Surely it won't be free to move fiat via any payment network. Do you happen to have a source? PS: seems not to be available to retail customers?

The costs for transactions are not fixed to a percentage of the total amount sent but on the size of the transaction and the network congestion. Moving one billion USD worth of BTC can cost as little as 0.065 BTC or ~440 USD. https:/&

The actions of professional traders affect retail investors, companies and trust in markets as a whole. If price discovery and liquidity where solved problems, then of course a crypto-like model of 24*7 no holds trading would be a nice to h

It doesn't work just fine at all. I could tell you plenty of stories and industry insights but I'll leave you just with one nugget I got at a market-maker conference last year: not even 20 cryptoexchanges are profitable, and this

It's the same thing as not having circuit breakers really. The closing hours allow regulated markets to be more efficient imho

Mmmh... I was a CTO at a crypto-exchange which as everyone knows don't have circuit breakers. The amount of emails we received from customers complaining they lost a lot of money while they were asleep was part of the reason I left, an
