In my opinion, the primary causes of wealth inequality have been the actions of governments to solve economic problems through social, fiscal and monetary policies. Whether or not wealthy people are intended to benefit from these policies, they are able to make use of them more effectively than the rest of the population, and so ultimately they benefit the most.

An obvious example is quantitative easing. Though the purpose is to give everyone more money in order to stimulate the economy, it actually benefits wealthy people much more than everyone else by supporting prices of debt and equity, and by lowering the risks of investments. It is absurd to believe that the best way to help people suffering financially is to give money to banks and investors.

So rather than putting the blame on wealthy people, the blame should be put on the politicians and the bureaucrats that concoct those policies that are ultimately destructive.

Perhaps giving the user the ability to add simple regex plugins that could parse certain OP_RETURN transactions in their wallet and display relevant info would be a safe and useful feature.

It really depends on your circumstances and on what you are trying to accomplish. You have not given enough information in order for anyone to give you good relevant advice.

In general,

• It is important to store backups of your seeds and private keys offline with strong physical protection.
• Never store cold wallet seeds anywhere that is accessible to the internet.
• Hot wallet seeds and private keys must remain private and encrypted always.

Can't this be accomplished more easily by the interested parties considering a transaction to be tentative before X confirmations? Edit: Oops, somehow my logic was backwards.

Also, a 51% attack has other capabilities, such as censorship and DOS, which the proposal does not prevent. So, you can't really call it an "ultimate" solution.

Here is up-to-date data from California: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/COVID-19-Cases-by-Age-Group.aspx

It basically shows the same thing, so what's your point?

TA is the analysis of prices (and volumes) with no real regard for the underlying causes. Nowhere is the underlying cause of a head-and-shoulders pattern explained (because it doesn't exist). Nowhere can you find any real studies showing that a MACD signal actually predicts anything (because it doesn't). Nowhere can you find explanation for the contradiction of a double top turning into a double bottom (because there is none). Nowhere can you find a reason for the use of Fibonacci numbers over others (because there is none).

TA is really just astrology for traders. TA is a pseudo-science based on fantasy and confirmation bias, but dressed up to look like science. There are no scientific or mathematical bases for TA. There is no empirical evidence that any TA techniques actually work.

The advantage of a token is that you don't need a mining infrastructure. Supporting a mining infrastructure can be a huge burden for developers, and it potentially can be a serious distraction for the project. Creating your own block chain also introduces security risks that you wouldn't have as a token.

Your post is not clear, but I think this is what you  are looking for:

The probability of N chosen bits all being 0 is 2^-N.
The probability of N chosen hexadecimal digits all being 0 is 16^-N.

I think you are confused by the use of the word "algorithm".

A "true" random number generator generates random numbers by sampling an unpredictable physical phenomena. Even though there might be code (which uses an algorithm) to do the sampling and report the values, the source is still unpredictable, and the algorithm for sampling and reporting doesn't affect the predictability.

On the other hand, a "pseudo" random number generator generates random numbers using math (an algorithm). The numbers are unpredictable as long as you don't analyze the algorithm or the values. Here is an example of an algorithm that generates pseudo-random numbers: X_i+1 = ( X_i x 1664525 + 1013904223 ) mod 2³².

That is already being done. For example, at APMEX:

You can defeat the dust attack if you spend the dust in a coinjoin transaction.

Only 70 years of communism in Russia to prove that socialism is not good ... some get rich and 90% stay poor, and millions starve to death

Is that actually true, and if it is, does it really matter? If I want to buy or sell gold, the price for me will be the same whether it is LBMA gold or not. Likewise, I don't use Coinbase, so it doesn't matter if my coins are "dirty" or not.

Also, bitcoins are automatically "cleaned" by usage.

A "base58check" address encodes a 8-bit prefix, followed by the 160-bit hash, followed by a 32-bit checksum. The checksum is completely dependent on the prefix and hash, so for each prefix, there are exactly 2¹⁶⁰ possible addresses.

Do you have contact information for this doctor? A google search doesn't show anything.

The U.S. government will continue the payments for as long as one party or the other believes that they can buy the election. Both parties will claim credit for the payments and neither side will oppose them.

Don't bother reading the article. It is a waste of time. The article says nothing about how facial recognition might be used to reduce fraud.

26 (a-z) + 26 (A-Z) + 10 (0-9) - 4 (0OlI) = 58
