It looks like people are saying ~4000 BTC got stolen.

That's ... an incredible amount of coin to be stored on the service. I would never have thought NiceHash had that much usage. Not that I thought NiceHash's usage was low, but ... well let's put this into perspective.

Only 1,800 BTC are mined on Bitcoin per day. Now, NiceHash is _not_ a Bitcoin mining pool; they just pay out in Bitcoin. But that should give some perspective as to the magnitude of funds NiceHash was playing with.

I've seen some people mention cold storage, etc. NiceHash isn't a service for storing coin. The intended usage is to only keep your (the user) profits on there long enough that it exceeds their minimum withdrawal limits. I'm sure some people leave coins on there for a bit longer, to reduce the % of their profits consumed by TX fees. But, for most intents and purposes, the funds on NiceHash are 100% hot funds.

So we're talking about 4,000 BTC of _hot_ funds. It's hard to fathom what their user base must be. It'd be like walking into a department store and finding out they have $56 million in their cash registers; not for any other reason than that they have enough business to justify it.
I want to point out that Maxwell had like 40+ equations for electricity that wound up being 4. I suspect that many fields have rules, but those rules aren't the most concise representation.

it will always be hard to get to the frontier. but that path should be easy. we can get years and years of explorers by building good roads.
Blockchains are successfully used for one-off payments, even Bitcoin used to be. Not anymore. And Lightning doesn't solve that problem. Thus other cryptocurrencies will thrive as methods of payment, whereas Bitcoin will remain a settlement layer for recurring payments at best.

If transactions were confirmed quickly with low fees, you could just turn around the Bitcoin in a few minutes in the exchange for dollars, all automatically. The price won't change that much on the timescale of minutes, so add in a small buffer percentage to make up the leftover difference and you're done.
Definitely unique. I've never lived in DC but visited a few times for work and was flabbergasted when I heard about slug lines (I still am). It's a bad driving situation when you'll voluntarily get into a stranger's car, and drivers will just let random strangers in their car. That doesn't happen in any of the cities I've lived in.
Bitcoin transactions are done on a distributed ledger that everyone can see. 4700BTC went from NiceHash -> Hacker
Do you need a tag to carpool where you are? Here in MN you do not, so it makes the HOV difficult to enforce, particularly because our Supreme Court decided you cannot be ticketed by camera. You basically have to have a cop car come up beside you.
Four years ago a user had an issue that took over three days to rectify. Clearly the company is a scam.
What you mean? You can short any crypto currency on many exchanges. Bitfinex and GDAX being the biggest right now.
Each Bitcoin transaction uses 100 - 200kwh. It's absurd if you think about it. Isn't this going to be what dooms block chain let alone Bitcoin?
People would make more responsible choices if they were liable for the effect of their actions and not just what the corp could get away with.

> their dividends drop

Corporations are rarely fined even 100% of their profits from illegal actions.

If the punishment is simply going to be temporary drop in returns, and that maximum damage inflicted upon a corporation and investor is dissolution, that dissolution should be wielded with a casual frequency. Corporations are benefiting from breaking the law. They get caught, and they still benefit.

Many of these arguments center around 1) a drop in returns is punishment enough 2) it would be difficult. Both are simplistic pat answers that defend the corporation as a one-way valve for wealth that disintermediates the criminal from the crime. How is it that I am responsible for all of my actions, except when my action is a pooled investment?

The ultimate question is can money only harm up to its denominal value?
You realize "safe" is a feeling, an emotional response. I have yet to see "safe" defined in some probabilistic way and that is what you would have to do to have it not just a feeling.

Right, to protect the Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments (which are currently protected) 2M acres of land needs to be removed from the National Monument protective system and (presumably) made available for development and mining. Hard to believe that anyone would buy into that logic.
I mean, one of the problems with tolls is that it is another form of taxing that has a bigger impact the lower income you have.

Without getting into an ideological discussion, having surge pricing on tolls would contribute to a minor divide in class.

In Australia this is a current topic, as (in Sydney specifically) there was a recent controversial highway widening which has been funded by tolls and constructed by a private company, which will own the road and tolls for the next 100 years or so. This highway leads to/from the CBD as a work commute for everyone coming from the west part of the city (the poorer part usually..) and so has direct influence on people's pockets in an already high expenses city on people choosing to live further away in a cheaper part of the city.

This perhaps does not directly apply to this specific instance, but I do think it illustrates that this is slightly more of a complex issue and has more implications than the simplification of the issue the article author wrote - if you introduce a toll but allow people to use it, that does have an impact on overall equality in society, even if you can debate the merits & size of the impact.
It was not to do with privacy, it is to do with scaling issues that may arise if it gains more traction and wide acceptance.
People seem to forget Bitcoin is still in early "alpha" stages. Transaction times, fees, and even stable price will come IF it proves to be a long lasting means of exchange. This time next year tx times and fees will be solved with the lightning network - today the first text was done on chain. This is still early times

As I see it and know about it, React is a library which does a small set of things very very well. Angular on the other hand is a behemoth framework that does a lot of things, all reasonably well. I am sure there would be use cases where Angular is a better choice than React. Not having used React, I am not sure of such cases.
California was the same way, hybrids were only supposed to get HOV access for a little while. It was written into the original law. (Don't know if that ever changed)
Would you let me know the reasons for not upgrading? I am on Angular 1.6 and would like to upgrade to Angular 2 and beyond, but it is not a straight forward upgrade. What would keep you on Angular 1.x?
A perfect blockchain would be like having a massive, decentralized, global database from which anyone could read and write to and the information would always be guaranteed to be true. Imagine any app being able to use such a database anytime, anywhere. It would be a perfect single source of truth, that could never be destroyed or hacked.

Triple-entry accounting, basically. There was an article on here a few months ago that went into depth on the issue.

Double-entry accounting made it much harder to cook the books (a record of where money is coming from and a record of where it is going). Blockchains store every transaction within the coin itself and are validated by the entire network as valid transactions.

People promote Bitcoin as anonymous, but it's actually the opposite - every transaction is traceable and open source, even if the accounts are not tied to a person directly.

There are uses for this but I think the unintended consequences remain to be seen. I think of how people were able to be identified by that Netflix ratings datadump a few years ago, so imagine how easy it would be if Bitcoin became a common currency? I am not positive this is possible (I think it is?) but imagine I buy an apple from Whole Foods and pay with Bitcoin. Now I know what account they use and I can go back through the blockchain to see every other transaction they've ever made: bam, now I know all financial data about Whole Foods over Bitcoin including which accounts pay them the most and the datestamps of those transactions.
Comparing a bug bounty to a jackpot seems reasonable. Researches are paid when they find something. They might work for many hours and find nothing. So when they do find a bug, the payout has to be worthwhile.
With a bank, yeah. Even as somebody who is savvy specifically in security I trust a bank to keep my savings safe more than I trust myself.

Threat models and risk balancing are important.

Extraditing a German citizen to the United States? Not going to happen. Constitutionally forbidden.

By the way, Germany operates jails, as well. It's not like the United States have to prosecute everything on the planet themselves.
Is everyone else missing the fact that this may be a bug in the algorithm? Read the update to the article, tolls are “surging” despite the road being almost empty.
Agreed. Maybe one day they will be so big that they are deemed "too big to fail" like the over-extended failed big banks and the bailouts/TARP of the Great Recession.

Ride sharing surge pricing gets nasty when it's a national disaster or other major unpredicted event and the rates are sexdecoupling, because it begins to look like profiteering off human misery. But moderate surge pricing is already a fact of life on ride sharing services.
Shouldn't you not care if lower people or higher people are charged as long as its the people responsible? Why is there a presumed guilt of higher level executives? I don't get it.

Is it just a carry over from disliking wealthy privileged people in general? Someone please chime in.
They have started the prosecution right after the scandal broke.
1) yes but was more than algorithms
2) If you're not realistic and being stupid with yourself and look at the amount of money that the industry has there's ($50bn) no legitimate way if I were to see your code would not steal it because I have "UNLIMITED RESOURCES". I'll first try using scare tactics of pulling out of the contract then if it's not good and I really want it I'll try putting you in a binding contract and litigated out of court and three by the time you realize all the shit that's happened to you you'll be with your head stuck up in to you know where writing a pity log post. Whining about how the deal of a lifetime got away.
3) If a lawyer tells you that they can find a way to bind them in the contract they must have actual software experience must be experienced for 10+ years and must know IP patent law. (Last I checked you're not KKR).
If you don't want to believe what I'm telling you just look at the cases Java oracle case comes to mind so that the android source code and so does. Plenty of others.

SOLUTION: 1) DON'T BE A CUCKMINDED i.e. not Antifragile.
2) There's five of you so some of you might agree some of you might not you have to be joint in your decision and equally around because if you're not that's a weak link. THE ANSWER MUST BE NO AND SAID ASTUTELY. "NO" COMING FROM ALL OF YOU IN DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE.
Where's case scenario if the industry has 50 billion I don't think you should have a hard time finding another potential even bigger customer in this field. (Speculation You're in the insurance business)

Other legal criteria:
They may try coercing you as far as compliance and legal statutory, regulatory factors are concerned to say that they want to see the source code. In that case you can find a third-party which you should do a lot of homework on unbiased arbitrator To have a look at. By the way you should put this in the contract if it ever arises and by the size of the company that you're referring to it sounds like that would be something I would do. If it's your crown jewel protect it simple.

Historical relevance:
Look at how the shell company was formed in order to compete with standard oil and how Rockefellers ROSE there was no sharing going on.

PS your welcome, pass it on.

And the only thing you need to know about the law is if I have enough resources the law doesn't matter and that's a fact in this country particularly when it comes to huge sums of money & tech. It's nascent and it's not really understood by a bunch of 80-year-old judges.

With regards to the following comments please save that shit for your grandma I really don't care I don't even want an opinion and no I'm not gonna be answering to this comment.

Just a quick point here, but

>Blockchains store every transaction within the coin itself and are validated by the entire network as valid transactions.

Is true for bitcoin, but is not necessarily true for all blockchains. Bitcoin != blockchain, even though Bitcoin is the original blockchain.
Not all of these shares have a vote
I understand the psychology of it as far as the high price goes, I think also people are appalled that there are others who can afford such obscene prices too, not just that the prices are so high. And well the two counties funneling traffic into this road Fairfax and Loudon are the richest counties in US, I have no doubt they'll be enough people who will pay the $40.

But what most people are upset about is that the hours when the whole highway becomes HOV-2 only have been expanded. So solo drivers who were getting up early, could have made it into the city before the restrictions kicked in, now won't be able to, and will have to funnel to secondary roads.
The dirty little secret is that Walmart (Walmart!) and Costco’s online ordering systems work better than Amazon’s. Amazon is obsessed with selling you things you don’t want. Meanwhile, you don’t have to even be a Costco member to shop online at Costco- they charge you a teeny fine. And much stuff you can pick up at Walmart: free shipping, and if there’s something wrong, you’re right there.

The truth is user adoption surpassed the development of the tech. I honestly believe a year from now these issues (tx times and high fees) will be solved vis the lightning network.

People who have been involved with Bitcoin from the beginning are not trying to change it's definition. It will 100% be digital cash in due time. The reason it's taking so "long" is because the dev team cares about keeping it decentralized and doesn't throw sloppy code out and end up forking it later like many other alt coins
That's why top executives' homes were raided? So that "nothing" will happen?
China has this big time. Almost all of the infrastructure built out in the current book was privately financed and is heavily tolled (definitely by western standards, it is much worse by Chinese standards). This is part of the reasons chinese logistic prices are so high, but also why there are 8 day traffic jams (because the non-toll option went under construction) and why much of the infrastructure isn’t usable by local farmers.
Oh absolutely, you have to treat them the same regardless, I just meant the parent should expect results until they are like 5.
Hey you know what, you've shown a bias of me.

I come from a construction background (big stuff) and it hadn't occurred to me that people would not get my connotative understanding of 'safety'. For me, safety is about risk minimization. If you haven't considered actual risk when you investigate doing something that could hurt you, it isn't 'safe'.

So thanks for helping me recognize that.
"Sometimes, Therrien would make a small payment on the fake debt"

Can't do that in my country because that's admitting the debt was right. Also, debt collectors can't overreach like that here. Need to go to court to get your money back.

Just bring the proof and normally everything should be OK. At least tha's what happend with me ;)
The information is not guaranteed to be true, it is guaranteed not to have been adultered after the write. The blockchain by itself can't verify the information it gets. After all no blockchain robot looks at your ID card.

ARM has no I/O instructions per se. It does have a whole range of instructions to deal with “coprocessors”, which was mainly used for floating point (originally a separate chip, nowadays integrated into the processor but still using that part of the instruction set).
I really hate the way that mathematics is taught in most school systems, it's all machinery with none of the beauty and underlying understanding. I was lucky enough to maintain an interest in mathematics sufficient to allow me to basically teach myself, with a heavy reliance on an underlying conceptual understanding. A lot of things like calculus and linear algebra are mostly just about understanding the basic concepts and then building up some experience working with them. There's no need to memorize gazillions of formulae or anything like that, you just need to actually know what you're doing when you do the work, but you will inevitably rely on tables and references except for very simple work.

Which is to say, I could not recommend 3blue1brown's videos more highly, they are an invaluable aid to learning linear algebra and actually helping you understand what is you're doing when you're doing these various operations to "solve problems".
And of course there is much more to investigate. Many more suspects in Germany, many more offices to raid, many more documents to read.

That the US trials were faster is no surprise.
Ive seen multiple sources say that widening roads only makes the problem worse yet in this article and in your comment it seems like the "solution" people are going for. That leaves me wondering; Are these sources not sound or are the people in charge of transport morons?
And the police will do nothing about it. Even if the fraudster uses your checking account to pay for their power bill. Good luck getting the police in a big city to head over to the house and investigate.
Not if it's mining running on solar.
Not all blockchains use PoW algos, or are decentralised in the bitcoin sense, or use the same hashing tools.

Proof of stake is one example of how that doesn't "doom" blockchains.

The bigger deal is that ice is very reflective. Reflected light energy promotes cooler temperatures.

Water is far less reflective, and so it absorbs significantly more incoming light energy, providing a general warming effect.
On this road, they're using e-tags that have a "HOV" switch on them. If you set it to "HOV mode", you're not charged a toll. The tag can't actually know how many people are in the car, so someone could cheat by setting their tag to HOV and driving without anyone else in the car. Hence the actual officers-pulling-people-over enforcement required. (They have readers in the police cars that tell them whether a vehicle's transponder is in HOV mode or not.)
I really enjoyed you recap, nice job. I think vue.js, GraphQL, and wasm will become more popular in 2018. We'll see though :)
Are you of the opinion bitcoins development is done? User adoption has skyrocketed and far surpassed expectation. The first ever Lightning Network transaction happened today. Bitcoin is still early technology and it will take time to developers a p2p secure digital form if cash.

Ethereum, the supposed answer to bitcoins problem has just recently began to see the exact same problem. Why? Because of a dumb kitten game - what happens once even a single ICO finds an moderate amount of user base?

These are early times friend
I think the point the post you were replying to was making is that comparisons to the .com bubble have been made for years and years.
It's good that people are being held accountable, but I'm unsure that prison is an effective mechanism here (or for many other crimes, for that matter). I mean, what's the goal exactly? I'd say the risk of recidivism is about nil, so it's not about protecting society from him, or about rehabilitation. So the goal must be to discourage others from committing similar offenses. Fair enough, but there must be a better and more efficient way to accomplish that than locking people in a compound for several years. In this case, the financial penalties imposed on the companies themselves seem like a more effective tool.

was recalling info for stock indices rather than individual stocks.

stock index futures are 23 hours: http://www.cmegroup.com/trading-hours.html#equityIndex

stock volume is larger than futures (347B global avg daily volume vs 280 in jan 2016, not sure about now), but futures larger than ETFs (280 vs 88)

youll have to convince me that institutional investors dont drive futures volume, cant find data offhand but wont give you benefit of the doubt on that one :)
My main concern is that with tolls that high that only people with a lot of money can afford them (I make six figures but I doubt I would ever pay $40 for a toll. I would need much more money). These are also often the most influential people so they may think that everything is OK because they can afford the toll and never suffer in traffic. I think the same is happening with health care. Most people in Congress have enough money and get a nice insurance plan so they don't even understand how bad the US health system is for people in the lower incomes. They think it's perfectly fine and no need to change anything.

It's very problematic when in a society the people at the top never experience life the same way regular citizens do.
I don't buy this. Aren't top executives the ones most likely to be held accountable for company fuck ups? Could you provide some examples where a lower level person is punished when a higher level person should have been?

It seems like there is a presumed guilt of executives. That's unhealthy IMO.
The limit to shareholders should be monetary (civil liability?)

It should be limited to the most recent (five?) years of profit at a maximum; but determined by the valued magnitude of the profits obtained by the infringement (multiplied by something, maybe 3-5?, for punitive effect).

Each stock should have that share of debt added to it; zero interest over time, full remainder due upon sale, and reduced by future dividends. The actual debt needn't be tracked per stock; it is sufficient to differentiate between affected and not.

Criminal liability belongs with those actively participating or criminally negligent in their oversight.
