I find this title misleading. What this post describes is a 2-of-3 multisig, which adds further encumbrances in constructing a valid transaction. But any transaction, once broadcast, is irreversible.

I'm building something on top of Hangouts, and I had an exchange that this reminded me of. I was finally connected with a developer evangelist, and I sent an email saying something like "would love to know more about Google's strategic goal

Do you have a link that elaborates on N. Zaka's architecture?

Can you allow sorting of movies by rating? That's what I'd need to use it as a discovery engine.

I agree with a lot of the points this article makes. What worked for me was to have a co-founder who basically handled everything that was not coding.

If you're just at the "idea stage", then no one is going to steal your idea. If you've progressed further and have some traction, some lessons learned in customer acquisition channels, etc., then you should be cautious about what you shar

What I would find more important than a comparison of technical features is a comparison of their active communities. How many people are using each project, how active is development, that sort of thing.

I think the negative comments here are missing the fine points of the article. * Stage of growth is important. In the beginning, success is more about individual effort. When you get bigger, it's more about overall team culture. * It's no

As someone who has run a company for a decade, there are several meaningful inflection points: * Becoming cash flow positive (aka Lift) is wonderful and stress relieving. * Becoming profitable enough to start hiring lots of people and build

I was suffering from RSI for a few months, and nothing seemed to work. I tried rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, and acupuncture. Then I read http://www.amazon.com/Its-Carpal-Tunnel-Syndrome-Professiona... , which led me to

I don't think you have to overcome the lobbying of IP holders, as they're also hurt by too many patents. The tech industry just needs to agree that we'd all be better off with a truce, and lobby to change the laws. Personally, I'd like to

Being married is one thing; having kids is another. As an entrepreneur with two young children, I know it's hard to keep a balance. The hard part isn't necessarily the limited number of hours. It's possible to build a successful startup wh

I'm torn by the prospect of a technological solution to aging. On one hand, I certainly don't want to get old and die -- at least, not on nature's time table. On the other hand, if no one else got old and dies, we'll quickly become an ove

To add an opinion: the most important factor in a team's productivity isn't the process, it's the quality of the developers.

What's annoying is this isn't the real issue. Of course Samsung felt threatened by the iPhone, and set out to copy the aspects of it they liked. That's how capitalism works. The real issue is what degree of protection should our legal sys

I recently had an experience that dovetails with this article. This summer, I moved my family over to London for two months. I intended to work while there, but I was having RSI issues. So instead, I spent two months full time with my kid

My guess is a lawyer will say "yes, you could sue" but they won't do this work on contingency. However, if you tell your former employer that you feel 11/12 of your cliff in equity is fair; otherwise, you'll pursue a law suit, my guess is t

I'm really interested to see how this plays out. There's currently no way to modulate your volume in social media posts. So "here's a cute photo of my cat" ranks the same as "I really need some help on this". FaceBook amplifies signals th

What surprises me is Square doesn't hold a rolling percentage of transactions in reserve in case of charge backs. Seems like that would avoid this situation.

I found this article pretty light on substance, but I agree with the <tl;dr>: Dynamic languages: faster to write something, less code, no time wasted waiting for compilation, but harder to maintain and a bitch to refactor. Need mor
