It's not idiotic, that's why there is a Bitcoin fund, and soon there will be a Bitcoin ETF. If being an expert in computer security isn't "specialized knowledge", I don't know what it is.

That's not really a possibility, it's just your desire to see Bitcoin go down. I don't know why there are so many people so salty about Bitcoin.

Which popular language nowadays doesn't have closures? Even the so hated (by HN) PHP has had that for many years already.

That happens everywhere to some degree. In corrupt countries it's very common that politicians announce the building of big schools and hospitals, but the projects are never finished. The construction companies bribe the politicians to

No, because the miner who gets the fee isn't the only one who will have to work extra. All full nodes will have to relay and store that transaction. And there is no known way to pay full node operators in a way that can't be abuse

No single entity controls it, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. If someone is abusing the blockchain by bloating it with useless garbage, there will be consensus for fixing that. So don't build a business or tech

Then make the scheme 4 of 5, or 3 of 5. Besides, the company could keep a backup of the keys in physical locations, and secure them with traditional physical security.

I never said they were good fighters, just that they practice with real swords, while in Kendo they don't. But of course they fight even less than the guys from Kendo, because nobody wants to get a scratch nowadays. So people only have

I don't want to be a dick, but have you actually had a real sword fight? Have you pierced someone's armor and make him bleed? Of course you haven't. The Mountain is a fictitious character from the popular TV series Game of Th

by jafaku 12y ago
Why the downvotes? This is swords and armours, not guns. Strength matters a lot. Since apparently you already live in fantasy land, why don't you try fighting "The Mountain"? Then tell me if size doesn't matter.

> Multisig offers you no benefits if you're not the one in control. That's a little extreme. I would trust a lot more in five employees than in one. If done right, each one of them could even not know who the other employees ar

For example: You can only have so much security if you don't have security experts. Same with every other area. I don't remember the details now, but their first iterations were pretty lame.

I can't believe they aren't using multi-signature internally. This is crazy.
25.
by jafaku 12y ago
The goal of multi-signature is to decentralize the ownership (or control) of the coins. In the case of Coinbase's offline storage, they could very well be using multi-signature (and they probably are) so that no single employee can run

"As much as I wish Bitcoin would go away" But why? I don't understand why Bitcoin generates negative feelings in so many people instead of just indifference.

Some Bitcoin exchanges have two options for orders: "Immediate or cancel" and "Good until cancelled".

But they will charge a 1% fee on the exchange, which in this case would be 2.78. Another difference (I think) is that they often cancel your order as brokers (many people have complained of buying, and then when the price goes up Coinbase r

It's the first licensed (as money-transmitter) exchange. The first non-licensed was Gox I guess. And Kraken is European I think.
