The result of this outcome was often that Super Linear Rewards are inexplicable to new users causing difficulty meeting user expectations (particularly around "get paid to post" and reveal a

Until I see a huge stake holder taking on the development side of things, not only saying "Steemit Inc sucks, they know they do", but also putting forth a solution, starting a dapp project with

Why would they need to do it secretly. They can JUST DO IT. NO THEY DON'T. 51% of the hashes only gets you 51% of the blocks. Alice can submit transactions that stay in the mempool and get accepted on

And also, here we are again, BOTH OF US ULTIMATELY AGREE with @Dan Nope we don't. @dan can't censor Alice. She gets to spend her funds, twice if she is greedy. Downvoted you to make sure my position is

I downvoted you with full weight because you are not working to understand the concepts here and instead you are resorting to nonsense statements like "lets stop turning this into a secret agent

First off she wont know. You failed right there. The success of an ongoing, persistent, indefinite attack can't rely on the victim's not finding out about it. That is a recipe for a failed attack, and

You aren't getting it. Think about how it plays out instead of blindly trying to defend @dan. Let's imagine you are Alice (not the real person but the account). Alice realizes @dan has 51% of the hashes

When Alice executes the double spend, bittrex won't shut her account down, they will put the wallet on maintenance. If it happens more than once, the coin in question gets delisted. There is plenty of

Actually, now that I think of it, @dan is not only failing at censoring Alice, he is paying for her to have a nice income based on double spending. Consider what happens every time Alice is able to push

"Finality" is just a fancy way of saying that non-blockchain entities have their own definition of when they consider a transaction irreversible. For example, if Alice sends to bittrex, then

No, you are wrong and so is everyone else "you are talking to". The thing all of you are missing is that censoring Alice is a race, where the attackers (secret miners) have to get a longer chain

Replied to wrong post.

The idiot OP didn't even understand why this coin was flat for so long. I'm not going to do his homework for him, because I let idiots be idiots, however the price rise correlated in time with an event

Let's turn this up to 11. I like this idea so much, I want to pile votes on your posts. I have some rules: (1) first five #circlejerkpileon posts will get an upvote from my bot army--yes the whole army,

My favorite license plate I have ever seen: "LXIX".

There is nothing wrong with a very open platform. However, openness is not mutually exclusive with the potential for closed communities, which many people, including myself, would prefer for most of our

""Torres, who had retrieved a shotgun from his vehicle, pointed his shotgun at the group of African American party-goers and stated he was going to kill them while his co-defendants stated that

While I agree with your premise, you missed some key points about this conviction. Most importantly, this was not a case of "freedom of speed". The convicted bared deadly weopons and threatened

It is not unreasonable to have closed communities. On a decentralized system like steem, it would require cryptography, and encryption, to make it work. My ideal network would allow closed communities

For the record, I communicated extensively on @fairytalelife's behalf with roadscape by private message. Saying she did not follow up with him is absolutely erroneous.
