Trying to find an OK iOS #Bitcoin wallet to recommend to others, I find their #privacy appalling. Sending your addresses to random servers in plain text (not even encrypted connections), or using deprecated bloom filters which let servers easily recover your addresses.

Attendance is not attention. You learn what you pay attention to. Teaching students how to manage their own attention is far more valuable than forcing them to listen by requiring them to be in the room and banning devices.

House votes 256-164 to expand Trump's warrantless surveillance powers for the next six years. The vote to reform warrantless searches of Americans' phone calls and e-mails failed, needing the support of 26 more. Dems could have swung it, but 55 of them voted with the Trump camp.

Q: Does Jameson know any engineers in the crypto space who are available to work on _____? A: No; demand far exceeds supply. There's a ton of capital available to hire these engineers, but they don't exist. We must first create more engineers by investing in education.

Bitcoin is not a business - the goal is not to maximize the ROI of investors. Most of us just want to increase the usability of the system without compromising its strengths. I believe that taking a long-term view will lead to the highest quality engineering decisions.

Academics accepting money from ICOs is _not_ a good thing. We need independents willing to debunk bad ideas; how likely is that going to happen when they're getting their funding from ICO scams? Accepting ICO scam funding is why I resigned from Scaling Bitcoin. xitter.gq/byrongibson/status/950…

A heartening trend in 2018 may be the earmarking of large amounts of ICO money for fundamental academic R&D in #blockchain science and engineering. I'm hearing of multiple orgs making plans for this. Vs the excesses of the DotCom days, this time it may be different after all.

Lightning is an open protocol, not a product. Core is an open process, not a company. Corporations and centralization are faster, marketed better, more polished, and can be more efficient. Open systems and decentralized solutions will still win; if we fight for them.

It is exactly 7 years when I announced @slush_pool. We mined block #97834 on the same day. The pool has grown to a global company serving millions of customers since then. I want to thank all amazing people from #bitcoin who helped me in early days to start this amazing journey! xitter.gq/slush_pool/status/9420…

Remember what you did on December 16, 2010? We mined our first block! 🎂 Thanks to our miners and all the great Bitcoin developers who helped to make that happen!

Great article from someone who actually tried to use IOTA tl;dr: Even ignoring the ridiculous, amateur hour, security flaws, the network is a broken unusable mess. codesuppository.blogspot.ca/…

Programming is like a team sport, it makes no sense to test it like a penalty shootout, in individual exams.
