I think the reference is EIP 101: Crypto Abstraction which is planned for the Serenity release.

Most SNT trading is against BTC on the Bittrex exchange. It's 5x the trading as against ETH.

This got bumped off the front page rather quickly...

Discussion happens on the two main Ethereum related subreddits: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum. At ethtrader, as a community, we've recently had an effort to put forward a set of criteria for evaluating ICOs, a test example of which is https://np.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/6tg8up/ethtrader_...

This 100%. I think this becomes evident almost as soon as one tries to do any smart contract coding. It's an entirely different paradigm with considerations that dwarf anything about language syntax and style. In fact I think these considerations are very non-trivial to grasp.

Why doesn't the only_uninitialized modifier cause a throw since m_numOwners should have already been > 0, no?

That account is labeled MultisigExploit-WhiteHat so may be an attempt to protect funds. Looks like a lot of ICOs may have used this multisig contract.

The users of the platform get to decide what software they want to use.

Back in the day there was a website where you could fill in a few details and it would create a bitcoin clone including downloadable source. What value do bitcoin alts offer? Hardly anything. Your position is just absurd to say that Ethereum and what is buildable on top of it are valueless. This comment, at the top of a hn thread is a great example of slashdoting of the hn community. It's both weird and educational to watch it happen.

For many, even most, ICOs, actually raising the money is only part of the potential benefit. The other benefit is to bootstrap a network of users and promotors. In those terms maybe BAT failed. They could have won over 10s of thousands of users.

In the end this was a fail for BAT. Sure they got the money, but what would have been more valuable would have been a massive bunch of new incentivised users.

Interestingly, and personally I'm not sure correctly, the ethereum community seems to have rejected governance by stake alone. There is a tool, carbonvote.com, that enables voting by stake, but the community has recently rejected a vote because of the impact on and position of other stakeholders: users, miners, and devs.

I don't think the metropolis release will include any POS based consensus.

At least regarding the UK and brexit I'd disagree with this. I'm a us/uk dual living in London and watched a bbc show called questiontime avidly pre-brexit vote. The show moves around the country each week with a different audience and generally skews left. But in the brexit issue week after week it was clear to see which side the audience was for. They just did not find the remain arguments compelling.

I think the UK is civically engaged and that the brexit outcome actually reflected this despite the sour grapes in London... and at the Guardian.

Yes I think this is right and we lose something when we limit to finance or legal terminology.

Yes it was a human response. One totally within the rules of the protocol - that those using it chose to no longer use it in it's current state but they do chose a slightly modified one. Humans were always the ones responsible for the network as they are for bitcoin.

A stable coin is a token that, using some mechanism, is able to hold a stable value. The most prominent group trying to make this work using ethereum, I think, is http://makerdao.com/docs/.

so it means trusting Poloniex/Kraken's API, so not decentralized and trustless.

This definitely is blockchain-based. Specifically, this project is using an ethereum smart contract to record the release of a piece of creative content along with a list of contributors to the realisation of that content. These contributors will be automatically and transparently paid a portion of the revenue each time someone purchases that content. My understanding is that currently the content is hosted on amazon s3, but future plans would use something like ipfs.

I've been working on a project that uses React with Meteor. One advantage that React has is that it's very easy to render the html on the server side. Once on the client React only updates this html if and when it needs to. Can Blaze do this? If not, are there plans to support it in the future?

i've been learning a little about both react, meteor and using them together: https://github.com/cslarson/react-meteor-server-example

Very cool indeed!

yes, with a loose definition of "served". :-)

Just starred your project on github. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

they can shutdown iGoogle when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

This looks like it has some similarities to Derby (http://derbyjs.com/) and SocketStream (http://socketstream.org/). Will be interesting to see with authentication and permission handling.
