Articulate your needs. I'm here to listen.

The log scale graph for price in the IEEE paper is disappointing on it's own, but it makes sense to show the difficulty on a log scale and then to have the price on a log scale for comparison.

Do you have any recommendations for users to keep their coins safe from hacks?

As to storing coins safely, I'd say a hardware wallet, however a lot of care is required in avoiding compromised hardware. Using multiple hardware wallets from multiple vendors in a multisig configuration would probably be the safest at this point.

He irrevocably killed a contract that a bunch of coins flat-out needed to be able to be transferred. That money still technically "exists" in the blockchain but no one can do anything with it so it's effectively lost. And it was worth several million at the time.

So if I get my hands on some old coin that has a transaction history based on it I could gently caress over a lot of butters out of spite? Seems like a really bad design if so (but very buttcoin).

It wasn't all coins that were vulnerable, only the ones that tied themselves to this contract (I forget what it did).

It was basically an online wallet with support for tiny apps within

Still, it was good for bitcoin and Ethereum
Because it removes money from the system so it actually raises the price... you can’t lose with crypto, bro

Agreed because functional programming languages are interesting from an academic level and put on a pedestal by a bunch of nerds but are useless in real world applications

John McAfee charges $105,000 per tweet to promote your ICO
“Individual tweets, whether created in Mr. McAfee’s voice or by the company whose products we are promoting, cost $105,000 per tweet,” writes the McAfee Crypto Team.
“Unless there are special circumstances we will do no more than seven tweets per promotion. This ensures that other projects and technologies will have a chance to use our services, since we limit promotional tweets to a max of two per day.”
That’s $105,000 per tweet, or $375 per character.
