    So I guess cash is going be banned as well. Nobody ever mentions that cash accounts for the lion's share of illegal transactions, and will as long as it exists.

    That is some amazing hardware. Cleverly they locate proximate to the arctic circle to avoid cooling down costs.

    As a side note; well run businesses are not going to sink such huge chunks of money in on something without a perceived future. Just a thought.

    All the fighting over this stuff is "killing" the atmosphere for a public that is scared off easily. The RBF part of that article/post seems to be overkill to me. In the long run its a no brainer that size will need to change, but the how and when has so many strong personalities forcing their "play". Ugly actually. There is so much potential and the mathematics are spot on. Adult "children" just need to learn how to play together for the common good. My .02

    Seriously? Wallets in the blockchain? For convenience? That sounds insane!
