There is a way to fix this. Don't just require a 6 digit code. Require a 6 digit code and a long random string (an expiring token), which is only present on the page the user visited, or in the email they were sent.


I have been programming for almost 30 years. I am extremely delighted that with one line of clear prompting I can generate 10+ lines of completely accurate code. It is very good at replicating patterns. IMO, this is the greatest advance in IDEs since intellisense. I estimate I am about 2x faster at programming than before. I would never want to go back to a world without it. Why not use it? Because all of your code has to go over the internet to a large corp who promises not to use your software against you? That risk will be solved over time with open-source, local LLMs.


I'm less worried about how large corps will use my info in the long run vs how myself should develop and learn over time. 'Productivity vs learning and in my own way' was the way I was looking at it. I suppose they aren't mutually exclusive though!


AI isn’t going away - the most productive workers in the future will be the ones who are most effective at using it


I think you misunderstood that sentence. Full nodes validate new blocks, but they don't validate all historical blocks at initial sync.


Yes, they do. That's why it takes fucking forever to start a fresh one up.

No, they don't.

Please check the code.

Or just run your own node: bitcoind --help and see what it says.


No they don't. See the link posted by the author:

Full nodes validate a lot of blocks at initial sync, but not all of them.


And here's my rebuttal to that misleading link:

We suspect that is not the real Stefan Molyneux. We will have flagging and moderation to deal with this soon. Also we will allow more auth options so people can prove who they are (twitter auth, e.g.)


Thanks for your great comments. We launched the beta only three weeks ago so it is definitely rough around the edges :) Fixing issues as fast as we can.

> Also, does anyone know what kind of regulatory upkeep a project like this requires? If a site like this operates with multiple currencies, it's essentially an exchange and probably has to register as such (they've outsourced this). However, if it just keeps user balances (not really a bank, but similar), does it have to register with any particular authorities?

We have discussed with lawyers and are sure to stay inside the law. Because all payments are p2p and we are not a custodian, the regulatory burden for us is a lot lower than many other similar projects.

> edit: your site allows a blank password, the title is "Yours | undefined" on profile pages and the menu controls to the left of the message input are very unintuitive. How do they work? Also, the profile ids are from hell:

Will fix soon. These things are already on our issues list :)


So if every payment is p2p does that mean every transaction in yours is a bitcoin cash transaction? Are those cheap enough? I don't know much about bitcoin cash.


Awesome article. Thanks for sharing.


This is our first voting model. We have other models planned for favorites, liking, etc. May the best model win. We are always focused on high quality content and will make sure that's the case :)


We will have multiple mechanisms for votes, likes, favorites, etc. May the best mechanism win :)


Thank you. Hopefully we can pull it off. We have a great asset - very low fees while not being a custodian of user funds. Allows rapid iteration of the product with fewer regulatory concerns.


If there were 0 fees on Bitcoin Cash, the payout to earlier voters could be arbitrarily high. It's a divergent series. Because of tx fees, there are limits. BCC has low fees, but not zero.

You know you are an earlier voter by looking at the amount voted. That is the amount below the vote button.


How about using IOTA?
