Live news broadcasts from individuals passionate about researching live events would be great, too. Anything like that that could replace MSM. From people compiling the current latest news from places like Twitter, to people actually out on

The list of common mistakes includes "Spending a lot of time trying to get a warm intro. You’re better off just following these rules and emailing me directly." That goes contrary to a lot of advice other VCs say, which is that ge

Assuming all assets get stored on S3, the other common writing scenario is logging. How would multiple machines writing to the same log file work?

See MaidSafe.[0] It's what you describe. They're working on it, hopefully to be released some time this year. You upload something, it gets distributed to random nodes on the SAFE network. Minimum of 4 live copies of your data, an

Ha! I just recently came across this discussion on the MaidSafe forums. There are talks of doing this to bootstrap the network: https://www.maidsafe.org/t/bootstrapping-the-safe-network-vi...

Ah I see you're not really familiar with the project. "backing up personal data to a p2p network" is far from what they're doing. They're creating the backbone for a completely decentralized internet. It's up t

Decentralization, and thus p2p, is the very reason services like these are being created, to protect against censorship. That seems the logical next step. And besides the "altcoin" problem, MaidSafe does this. You pretty much prov

I thought paypal does recurring donations? Anyhow, for bitcoin, look into Coinbase's recurring payment options. I don't think it should be a problem.

Are there open-source voice recognition projects in the works that could replace the likes of Google Now and the others? If not, there should be.

Try stripping locally and see if the checksum matches.

I think it's an interesting issue because the primary issue is what interests people, not the website itself. If a majority of people want to concentrate on the bad, then the bad shows up more. If the mods or admins make the site such

Certainly this makes it easier on the government if they really wanted your calls.

by walden42 12y ago
Same here. Someone calls, I press Accept, and it could take up to 10 seconds to actually accept the call. It would open a new window, start loading stuff, and then the call was missed by the time it was ready. How could anything like that g

Why not just run backups on a replica suited specifically for that purpose?

by walden42 12y ago
I would argue that if built upon a platform like MaidSafe, which should come out late 2014/early 2015, it would be a decentralized network.

Maidsafe seems to be the all-in-one that builds a decentralized internet infrastructure. I have high hopes for it.

Nice idea. It'd be great to have a MPAA rating as well to be able to filter out family-friendy movies (e.g. G, PG) and vice versa.

Read up some articles from Coinbase or Bitpay. You can also contant Bitpay with any questions you may have and I'm sure they'll be able to help you. Also feel free to ask me anything, as well, and I'll try to help you out.

This is the feature I'm missing from the Firefox Adblock Plus. One of the Adblocks for Chrome has this (can't remember which one) and it was great. I only blocked ads on the site I wanted to. Hopefully they'll make it for Fir

Aren't you pretty much describing the MaidSafe project? Not exactly sure about the one-click functionality but everything else is spot on.

by walden42 12y ago
IMO this deserves a lot more attention than storj. It's everything storj has, plus a whole decentralized internet infrastructure upon which other decentralized applications can be built. It seems the most logical way forward.

Leaking cookies to subdomains IS a problem, but it shouldn't be too big of a deal security-wise if they are encrypted (as they usually are).
