When I travel, Before I pick a seat, I will think about the direction of the bus or plane to decide which side(left or right) seat I should select. Sometimes I like the sun while traveling, sometimes I'm not. The method is simple, it needs three factors,
1. The direction of this transportation tool way to your destination;
2. The time range;
3. The direction of the sun in the time range.
So if I create this site, I need these variables first:
1. Tell me where are you going(such as From, To). I can confirm the direction of the transportation tool on Google Maps.
2. Tell me the time, I can calculate the direction of the sun based on the time range.
After that, I can know which side seat you should choose.
When I learned about the limited supply of Bitcoin, I thought, "Great, no more rampant currency printing!" But then they developed the fork technology, which can split one Bitcoin into countless pieces. I guess I underestimated the extent of human greed. Thankfully, it's all digital and our math can handle it.
No, weird that you’re comment is so high up, but shows how little crypto knowledge is around in HN.
A Bitcoin is a Bitcoin, but it consists of smaller units called Satoshis. Like Dollar and Cents. Since the beginning of Bitcoin.
A fork is a copy of the underlying source code of Bitcoin, which in itself has no value at all. You would also need to find people who run nodes for your fork and start convincing exchanges that your fork should be supported too…so no, this is not splitting Bitcoin
If you fork the bitcoin blockchain you have now two ledgers, each one telling you that a certain number of bitcoins really exist. Who is to say that one is right and the other is wrong? In this scenario, it's debatable how many bitcoins are in existence.
You might want to read the Bitcoin whitepaper. There is zero ambiguity in the situation you describe. That is the essence of the proof-of-work (or proof-of-stake, take your pick) solution to the Byzantine generals problem.
Because the Copilot Chat is too convenient when you coding. You can talk about any programming questions with it, you can have it to code review your code. I don't want to switch between the VSCode and ChatGPT.
Thank you for this idea, I was inspired by it years ago and wrote a delay queue using Golang. But it is dependent on the Redis, recently I want to remove the Redis and write a Key-value store by myself. Welcome to contribute your code to it: https://github.com/raymondmars/go-delayqueue
