@alansilbert @bergalex @kristovatlas Security inherent to a trustless ledger is valuable, but it’s incredibly difficult to “sell” security.

@alansilbert @kristovatlas Bitseed does have some nice automatic recovery logic, but requires using twice as much disk space.

I’m pleased to report that @BitGo users have been completely unaffected by the stress test. 100K+ txs in mempool. https://t.co/jK0WiG9SvP

@kristovatlas Slightly. I think bigger burden is convincing people of value proposition and of installing a node on an always-on machine.

@Kosmatos I suspect you’re overlooking the many hours you spent climbing the Bitcoin learning curve.

@bitstein @pierre_rochard @qntra @jonmatonis @adam3us Opinionated journalism is fine. Ad hominem attacks and false information is not.

@anarcholiberty @jonmatonis @adam3us @Joi @techreview @qntra is hateful inaccurate propaganda; their useful points are overshadowed by it.

@jonmatonis @adam3us @Joi Are you seriously suggesting that @qntra even deserves to have its existence acknowledged by @techreview?

@twobitidiot For all we know, they’re scooping up the coins themselves and releasing the private keys for plausible deniability.

@cypherdoc2 Nodes won’t relay double spend transactions

@cypherdoc2 Users are scooping up the private keys released by CoinWallet to their addresses full of dust & consolidating the outputs.

On the downside, blocks are going to be full for the forseeable future. On the upside, watch the UTXO set shrink: https://t.co/7Nn2EZ34MG
