The way I speak and the way I write are different. Avoiding slang like 'wanna' when writing is good.

This is a pet peeve of mine but...is 'wanna' a commonly used word in the USA? It grates whenever I read it as it's rarely used where I am.

As I mention in a previous comment, if you are using the TOR hidden service (3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/) the redirect goes over a TOR exit node without https. Ideally it should use the hidden service so no exit node is involved, or at the

One thing that would be nice to fix in the new interface: If I use the DDG TOR hidden service, 3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion, do a search and click on a search result the link goes via a DDG redirect from r.duckduckgo.com. This should be using the

It would be nice if some of the items in the pre-commit checklist from [1] could be checked at compile time somehow. [1] https://github.com/clearcrypt/clearcrypt/pull/3#issue-327877...

Nix has a number of nice things going for it. You can have multiple different versions of packages installed and other packages can depend on the different versions. The management of the 'shared library hell' is done behind the s

Do you have any tips on managing a nixpkgs clone vs using channels? How do you set it up to default to your clone for example?

I wouldn't describe JavaScript's OOP as bolted on. It's just a different kind of OOP - prototype based rather than class based. You could argue that Lua is more "bolted on OOP" since there are quite a few different

As long as you hold the private keys yourself and don't keep them on third party websites your holdings are safe. Safer than cash since you can encrypt and back up the keys.

Exchanges usually charge a withdrawal fee to cover transaction fees. BTC-e also charge a fee for example. Bitcoin software doesn't provide (an easy if possible at all) means to compute the fee up front to pass on to the receiver. So ex

Wouldn't multisig on an exchange prevent the use of cold wallets? It wouldn't be possible to move funds to/from hot and cold without a signature from the depositor. It would also make trades a little more difficult in that us

At the time bitcoin wasn't worth so much so trading out might have been more reasonable. The large increase in price has made the debt much more significant. It's unfortunate that those that have deposited since then have subsidis

It might not be a goal for Mozilla for it to be a production browser but it does seem to be for other people working on it and this is affecting what is being worked on: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.

Trunk builds of Firefox OS (version 1.4ish) work fine on my ZTE Open. I doubt they'll see consumer release though. I hope they do but I'm not confident in carriers pushing it.

Mercury is used in production with PrinceXML [1] and ODASE [2]. ATS is used in production in the implementation of a bitcoin mining pool [3]. OCaml is heavily used by Jane St [4]. SML (via the MLton implementation) is used in industry [5].

I agree but Flattr does provide an interesting approach. With them you set aside a set amount per month you want to donate. Then when you tip a site it gets a proportion of that amount based on the number of tips you made in the month. This

The question is not "Do you trust bitcoin", it's "Do you trust the Bitcoin Foundation". The latter is an organization set up recently and is not involved with the original bitcoin creator.

Now that Firefox Accounts is being used in Mozilla properties rather than Persona I'd expect more downplaying of Persona to come from Mozilla, including employees like OP. Is Persona still being developed at Mozilla?

It depends. There's a small issue with the reference client that is also causing chains of double spent transactions in merchant wallets: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1xm49o/due_to_activ.

The reason why exchanges and other software are having trouble with malleable transactions is not due to bad software using transaction ids. It's an edge case with the reference bitcoin client. See: http://www.reddit.com&#x2

It is not poorly coded exchanges that are causing the issue. It's actually an issue with the reference bitcoin client and those that use the same behaviour: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1xm49o
