wow, their POS scanners can read qr codes? surely that implies accepting bitcoin, which doesn't involve reading a QR code, and not any other usage of a common data format

QR codes are a public key address guys this is bitcoin 101

which you don't need to read to accept. the buyer has to scan the seller's. adding read capability to a POS system has a million goofy internal reasons (bring this mailer for 0.5% off!!), but accepting bitcoins is not helped by this change

seriously, do libertarians just not 'get' their own philosophy?

the last argument i had with a libertarian boiled down to "if the state was not in charge of recognizing marriage, bigots running hospitals would miraculously flip on their current lovely behavior"

its not a very nuanced worldview. blame the state, posit utopia if its removed

that's bullshit tho

no block is "easier" than any else to hash - no matter how many transactions you have, it is included in the block as a single merkle root hash which has a fixed size

does every input bit affect every output bit? or can you do anything in slices? even with some intermediate results?

idk hashmath
