Huh, maybe we should come up with a cryptocurrency where you are awarded new blocks for the storage and bandwidth you contribute to the effort, rather than for how many hashes you can calculate per second.

After all, if we're hoping to handling transactions on the scale of Visa, and we don't like centralization, we need to think about decentralized storage of all that information sooner or later. SegWit might not be the perfect answer, but you can't keep requiring everyone to store every transaction that ever happened. We need a solution that is both distributed and publicly verifiable. Something like IPFS comes to mind.

And in order to incentivize people to contribute storage and bandwidth, there would have to be a way to reward those who do so. I think this would be much more useful than the current situation where we basically reward people for wasting a lot of energy.
I hope so. It would be in teresting to read.

I recommend tracking down some old-school Mister Rogers' Neighborhood if you can. Totally engages my 4-year-old, and she actually talks to him when prompted, which she does with no other children's show. The pace is sedate and the shots long (like, really long, in a way I didn't appreciate as a kid—that had to be difficult to film).

They make Thomas and Daniel Tiger and most of the rest of the PBS lineup seem like Ren & Stimpy by comparison.

I'd be a little thoughtful about filing a chargeback against Amazon - businesses do have considerable latitude in their choice of response beyond the immediate situation. For example, Steam's been known to permanently disable accounts in response to chargebacks, which means that even though you probably get your money back for the one game you had a problem with, you're still out everything else.

To be blunt, that's still too much for me. I'm already unhappy about my ISP having my DNS history, I certainly don't want to offer it to a third part for a service that I could run without giving up that info.

I don't say that as a product criticism, I see why you can't do it another way and plenty of people won't mind. But if you're curious, that takes me out of the pool for this service. Shipping trusted hardware that could go behind a router is about all I'd be open to.
I forget the technical term for the bullshit argument you're throwing out - "if we can't have X, then clearly you support the polar opposite of X!"

That's complete FUD on several levels. On a most general level, mining itself only needs the header. Chinese miners can verify blocks and transactions elsewhere and only send headers to the actual mining sites. A dial-up should be enough.

Regardless, from what I heard it's not a problem anymore. Even if it was, allowing 'fast passage' for bitcoin blocks seems like a obvious course of action for the Chinese government, it's just another export industry at this point.
I'm not going to go that far, to equate plants and animals. The original comment said "without killing something".

so I wondered why it's a no brainer that plants are ethically ok to kill and eat but species closer to us aren't.

Anyone who's dealt with animals or pets sees intelligence and Personality. So it's easy to have empathy and want to let them live (especially if they're cute and docile). Nobody likes killing animals if unnecessary (for the most part, I never understood hunting for sport). Factory farming doesn't leave a pleasant feeling either.

But there is a trend of getting protein from bugs.. and I'm wondering were that fits into people's thinking.

It's more of a thought experiment than anything.

You are confusing Segwit with Lightning network. Segwit is just a version that optimizes transactions. It's an extension of an unused opcode from the previous version, allowing previous nodes to view Segwit blocks as compatible, therefore only requiring a "soft-fork." Pro-Segwit people tend to be pro-Lightning, since it is not feasible to validate Visa-scale transactions in such an inefficient, centralized manner. This camp views Bitcoin more as a user-controlled store of value/bank account, still requiring a hierarchy of processors to handle day-to-day transactions.

Hmm.

OK, so how many bitcoin addresses do I have with money in them? examining 3.5 year old wallet.dat, checking Oh, THAT Many? And are you sure that is all of them? (It was quite a lot of addresses, and not sure how I would know if the listing was complete.)

So, is there some way to safely automate this? Try it... the command outputs are all in JSON (configurable?), so you most likely won't be solving this with just pipes, awk, and grep. I tried exporting a few private keys this way and they are not exaggerating when they say:

I have to use Bitcoin-Qt to get the keys out, and it does not appear to be fool-proof at all. Might as well just sync the whole blockchain then.

I think there are some ways that RH would be less desirable for many people than a BigCo. When I was interested in working for them they had offices in inconvenient locations and a requirement that you (or at least, I) work in one of them -- e.g. their "Boston" office is 30 miles away in Westford, and their headquarters are in North Carolina. That's disqualifying for many people.

I imagine they pay significantly less than the other companies (e.g. Facebook) who want to hire Btrfs devs can afford to, too.
I don't get the down votes, nor the negativity in other threads about TopTal. Working for TopTal for a while now and it has been great. I can better rates elsewhere but I notice that clients are really expecting you to be good so the jobs are more interesting and/or you get more freedom. Also no hassle, every 2 weeks a payment.

It's cheaper to hire me directly while I would still be getting paid more but I guess a lot of people want a trusted intermediate.

Rates are negotiable but they'll naturally prefer to pay you less, like any company. Perhaps it's more interesting for people that live in countries that have relatively low wages, but you'll have to be able to converse fluently in English.

The best way to stop people doing bad things they want to do is the fear of certain and severe punishment. "Getting involved" is not something that you do by "mistake", you have to want to do it first. The only "mistake" is believing you won't get caught, presumable because so few do.

What if somebody independently came to similar or worse results and only then read about the research - with possibly more results - made before that?

Given the amount of information available, it could often be the case of independent research into something which is known and available for some time. If one only learns about similar - and possibly greater - results after making one's own, and wants to talk about the work done - should one cite other, possibly earlier, works?

Agreed. Even if ignorant people think it's a bad idea, doesn't mean it's a good idea. But perhaps they're wrong about _why_ it's a bad idea.
I partially disagree with the claim that ZFS is slower than ext4/xfs. It is, but only as long as you don't use ext4/xfs on top of LVM to get similar snapshot capabilities etc. Then ZFS starts to win.

So if you only need a plain filesystem, ext4/xfs are great and you will get better performance.

If you need/want snapshots, e.g. to do backups that way, it makes sense to look at ZFS.
I would imagine they'll require some basic proof. There are plenty of things it just doesn't make sense to ship back because they can't resell them - they'll just dispose of them like you do. It isn't flawless (neither is the current system - you can always damage the product and claim it was like that when you opened the box) - but it just makes sense sometimes.
Show me such a law.

All this talk about Oracle is just plain stupid. Oracle doesn't control anything, the community does. One core developer still works on Btrfs from Oracle, the vast majority of the contributions come from outside Oracle.

Now as to

> "Why Red Hat does not have engineers to support btrfs?"

You have to understand how most kernel teams work across all companies. Kernel engineers work on what they want to work on, and companies hire the people working on the thing the company cares about to make sure they get their changes in.

This means that the engineers have 95% of the power. Sure you can tell your kernel developer to go work on something else, but if they don't want to do that they'll just go to a different company that will let them work on what they care about.

This gives Red Hat 2 options. One is they hire existing Btrfs developers to come help do the work. That's unlikely to happen unless they get one of the new contributors, as all of the seasoned developers are not likely to move. The second is to develop the talent in-house. But again we're back at that "it's hard to tell kernel engineers what to do" problem. If nobody wants to work on it then there's not going to be anybody that will do it.

And then there's the fact that Red Hat really does rely on the community to do the bulk of the heavy lifting for a lot of areas. BPF is a great example of this, cgroups is another good example.

Btrfs isn't ready for Red Hat's customer base, nobody who works on Btrfs will deny that fact. Does it make sense for Red Hat to pay a bunch of people to make things go faster when the community is doing the work at no cost to Red Hat?

You're conflating developer tools with a language runtime. Every popular OS ships with everything necessary to run a C, Go, or Rust binary. Python 3 and Java both require a separate runtime to be installed, but I will say that every Java CLI I've used has had terrible startup performance.

No. Each BTC also became a BCC at the time of the fork, and now exists independently on both networks. Owners are free to use them on each network. That is the concept of a fork -- it's an intended double spending attack. There is no such concept as "moving 1 BTC to a BCC wallet". Moving BTC means a transaction on the BTC blockchain. Moving BCC means a transaction on the BCC blockchain.

Soars to $700 because nobody who owns any is able to sell them. Trading is not open to the public except on one exchange right now, and while that exchange is holding a comfortable $350, it's also an unpopular and low-volume exchange - I'm guessing 90% of their users today made accounts today just to sell their Bitcoin Cash. I know I did.

Once Kraken, Bitfinex, Bittrex, and the other major BCH supporting exchanges are actually accepting deposits, I imagine we'll see the price take a nosedive.
