I assume you meant distributed not a decentralized one.
You can still have a blockchain that could be considered decentralized even though it is not distributed to every node equally.

It is a debatable issue. Hopefully advancements in hardware would make second layer scaling solutions unnecessary.

Even worse in PoS, not only can you do 51% attack by gathering majority of coins now, but gathering the majority of addresses used at any point in that altcoin's history. You can use addresses that are now empty to do a 51% attack in PoS. Just imagine people who don't have any of those coins anymore selling their old private keys to someone who is going to use them to reorganize a PoS "blockchain".

Sorry, I still don't understand what you are referring to.
Are you asking if currency should exist before it is being traded?
It depends, some people do ICOs and sell their coins before they exist, as a promise.
I don't consider this fair and I wouldn't suggest it.

Usually the most simple answer is the correct one.
I don't think there was any kind of hidden plan when Bitcoin was created, not to this scale.

I think it was simply a very small experiment created by an individual at that time.
It is just in the retrospect that we see Bitcoin at what it is today that we start imagining complicated possibilities and conspiracies.

I don't understand what you said here.
Your crypto needs to have a value, if that is what you are asking, so that those mined coins are worth something.

Lol. To be honest people refer to climate change as a problem for reason, it isn't just that it heats up, but that ecosystem isn't used to it.
It is the rapid change in climate that is the main problem, not the heat in particular. Rapidly cooling the planet down would create it's own problems to the ecosystem.


Trees take a long time to grow. There is a lot of trees in the World already, I don't think increasing the number of trees is the most important factor.
I doubt that any amount of trees would be able to handle this much CO2. We just need to slow it down, that is all.

As for the developing countries needing fossil fuels, yeah, this is exactly why everyone agreed that they should be allowed to burn their fair share that developed countries already profited from burning their's.


Seems like hell will come to us

Everything on a smartphone is insecure. Smart phones are naturally insecure for now due to bad update policy.
Phone manufacturers don't send out security updates for their devices, so they become sitting ducks just waiting to get hacked.

It is always safe to assume that your smartphone has already been compromised by the first time to turn it on.
I wouldn't place anything sensitive on them if I were you.

If you want to have a mobile Bitcoin wallet, keep small amounts in it, that is about best security advice you can get.
It is going to be easy enough to hack it anyway, so you might as well not keep too much on there.

I would assume big exchanges are responsible for these things. It seems like they could be the ones in the best position to do price manipulating.
It also wouldn't be surprising that big holders usually buy their own exchanges once they reach a certain point, so most of big exchanges might be considered whales.

One time I was experiencing issues with my GPU being too slow it turned out I didn't connect it well to my motherboard.
Make sure all the cables are connected first of all before you start banging your head on what could be the problem.

Well, make sure first that your system clock is showing the right time.
Other than that, check if your CPU is strong enough to verify and index blocks fast enough.
SSD drive might help as well.

The fairest way to profit from a cryptocurrency you develop is the same way early adopters do.
By being one of the first to mine it.

Could you share your Bitcoin addresses involving this, please?

There is no such thing as frozen bitcoins, this isn't a banking system. Your bitcoins are always somewhere and can always be spent.
Don't panic if you see your bitcoins in an address that you don't recognize, most wallets generate new addresses automatically called "change addresses".

PS: Seems like you are using Windows on a computer where you have your bitcoins, so it is completely possible that you were compromised.
Please consider using Linux when dealing with money on your computer, Windows security is bad enough when there is no money involved.

Not that it matters, but I think it wouldn't be surprising that government knows who Satoshi is.

I don't think anyone can or should answer that question. Bitcoin users usually like their privacy so I don't think it is fair to talk about other people's business in this space.

There is no real limit with Lightning network. You can have as many transactions as you want with LN, it just depends on when you find it useful to use it.

You should probably state your idea here if you hope someone will join up.
Everyone has ideas for cryptos these days, devs are very very scarce in this space, especially if you only promise them tokens...

You can try importing your seed words into another wallet, like Electrum and hope they use the same standard on generating keys from seed words.

If you are running Linux and I assume you do, go to your home folder and find a directory called ".bitcoin", you will see your wallet.dat file there.

You can copy the whole wallet file, which is recommended or run and save your wallet that way.

There will always be more blocks to mine, only thing that happens every 4 years is that inflation of bitcoins halves eventually approaching zero.
Miners will always be able to earn transaction fees from transactions they include in their blocks.

I would agree to this. It does seem like a better idea to reward quality over quantity.
I don't know what sig campaigns would say about this, but I don't see any apparent drawbacks right away.

You might need a little tweaking with merit system, as it isn't very often to see posts that have merit on them, even if they are useful.
Not a lot of people seem to care and give out merit to every post that is useful. Getting a couple of merits is a rare thing where you need to be a bit impressive, not just useful.
