Edit: Filecoin does mention smart contracts in its white paper.

Filecoin doesn't have any smart contracts as far as I'm aware, so it's limited to use as a decentralized storage network. I believe it would be possible to build something very similar to Filecoin on the Ethereum platform. St

I believe there are times when it is favorable to "burn" ether or another cryptocurrency, i.e. lock up the money in an unowned account. For example, the decentralized market place OpenBazaar discusses proof-of-burn to establish a

Ah ok, I think that a 51% attack is what I was describing. I would update my comment, but it appears that I can no longer edit it.

For those out of the loop, miners work together in pools to combine their mining power. With more mining power, the more likely it is for them to mine a block (of the blockchain) and divide its payout among members of the pool. Pools cause

As mentioned in the article, would that P2P solution be Swarm ( http://swarm-gateways.net/bzz:/a600d48f01d5e6d07907d9d14db0f... )?

I haven't played with this too much, but does Mist need a local copy of the entire blockchain? If so, I'm not sure these decentralized applications will be accessible to the average user. On the other hand, the application in the

I don't think that's how it works. From my understanding, a new address is typically used for every new transaction. What you are interested in is their wallet which would be the sum of their addresses. On the other hand, it appe

The medium size (grande) Starbucks coffee contains nearly that much caffeine. I'm not saying that 360mg isn't a lot, but it is not uncommon for people to drink that amount in a single drink. You can see this amount in Starbuck&#x2
