What ridiculous products. They can't even explain why they're making "blockchain phones".

Outstanding post and super pics. Please keep writing these!

I'm not aware of any *nix based mining malware (could be wrong of course) - can you give an example? The reporting on this issue often bothers me (not your post tho!) because they typically conflate

Windows only.

These posts are just getting better! Excellent information to keep up to date for those of us who can't find enough time in the day. I'm off following links now, tc.

very useful post, thanks!

Outstanding info - this is a terrific primer!

Followed to make sure I read the rest of the posts. I'm curious about these same things - thanks for diving in and finding out about it.

Really great looking nigiri, and that castillan dessert has my mouth watering!

Very nice - I'll try this restaurant next time I'm there. I agree about fried rice, my favorite being crab fried rice. Not sure I could eat that whole prawn dish tho, too strong!

another great post - thanks!

How about gold bars, waste of time? Bitcoin is a store of value. Becoming a means of exchange is the battle you're referring to, and it's being fought now by many but certainly not all of these

Yeah that's a common criticism of Zcash - people won't deliberately do anything, and most will use the transparent addresses. Not convinced it matters though - there's no clues, even if the anonymity set

it's not trying to
