Alberto - before fork in november you can expect volatility. I personally expect upside as a result, but there are no guarantees.

and you start to wonder... who are these NUTS who think people still uses zip-drives, floppydisks, swapfiles and why do my system have drivers installed for IR remote controls!? -.-
replied 2331d
Then you look at alternatives, and nowhere is there an option to be found to getting mplayer without DVD support and whatever you want to install always have 5x as much dependencies.

... but after a while, you stop looking at the documentation and the system just does what it's told, and you realize you've become good at telling it what to do.

You heard wrong, and yes - pain ol' sys-apps/sysvinit

The first time you set it up, you go all "wtf am I doing?!", configuring and compiling your own kernel, setting build-flags...

I use Gentoo, and it is optional during install. Gentoo follows the principle that it (the os) must never choose for you. If you feel it takes a choice you should have, bug report! <3

Good points. Optional upgrades are never optional in this sense.

I'm not touching systemd. Do one thing, and do it well. integrating everything means doing the thing you initially wanted worse than if you had done only that.

ah, I though it was based on who follows me, not who I follow. I get it, now it makes sense :)

Why is memo still using legacy addressess, and not the CashAddr format?

The project and specification will be made fully public once the draft is complete, or the original author of BitID responds to my email so I know he has received the heads-up
2334d · CashID
A repository on gitlab has been setup and an unfinished draft of the specification is available to logged in members here: https://gitlab.com/cashid/protocol-specification

I have 34 followers. Finding even a single person among them who follow the **exact** same people I do, is very unlikely.

I just looked at my "followers" list on my profile page. Most people have 0% connection (which is fine), but not a single one has a value other than 0 and 100.

I think I'm going to learn Go, just to help Memo progress. I already know HTML & Reddit markdown, so that means I'm basically already an expert. /s

Is it a big deal though? I know he spends a lot of time reviewing code, which is good, but that's far from a solo-job - perhaps it's good that some extra responsibility spills over to others?

Haven't read the Code of Conduct, but I imagine linus would have a hard time adhering too it regardless of what it contains :)

You really like to see massive #BitcoinCash adaption in USA? Get in touch with #AlexJones. #PayPal is screwing with him. He has tens of millions of fans. They all like to support him. #BCH

Looks kinda a nice, but very difficult to not think "Bitcoin Core" when it's all orange. Perhaps make the logo green instead?

For example, you would have to include in the first TX references to the TXs that is needed to fully parse and display the data.

Pham, I think it's mostly just a matter of convenience; as spreading a memo out over multiple transactions has a higher implementation cost.

Agree. Though I think Moneybutton would be better if it could display a QR code as a fallback. It's burdensome to have an extra seed to store just to use MoneyButton.

That's a difficult problem. I think MoneyButton does a better job at it than Brave, as Brave focuse on publishers rather than users.

We'll see how much those nodes matter in the end...

Doesn't sound too hard. If anyone is curious about BitID/CashID, feel free to discuss with me in the respective topics.
