Not really looking at the value of transactions, I believe cryptocurrency as a whole is still in a very early speculative stage. I agree that the Ethereum chain hasn't really innovated yet beyond the Smart Contract framework that it can't really take full advantage of currently, but I believe...

Ethereum handles more transactions per day than every other cryptocurrency combined. Of course it's choking on the congestion, the solution to the scaling problem isn't fully realized yet, and I don't see Lightning Network as the thing that solves it.

1) The overall winner will be the one that functions best as money on a global scale -- that's Ethereum. 2) If the miracle was that it scaled Ethereum transaction volume to 1000x what it is currently while keeping transaction fees low, would Bitcoin adopt it? Open sourcing works in favour of...

Which is exactly the problem that the Ethereum devs are trying to solve while maintaining security. It's a tough cookie to crack, but with Bitcoin devs thinking high transaction fees are a feature I don't suspect that Bitcoin will maintain its spot as the go-to crypto.

My Eth tokens were mined in May of 2016, I'll be hodling until the Ethereum devs announce they've run into a problem they can't solve. Currently, though, they are making significant progress in tackling some really complicated problems, this year's development looks very promising. Maybe sell a...

No doubt, and Ethereum developers are going to end that debate. Casper is their first step, and it's looking really good so far. The Ethereum yellow paper is a pretty good read for the introduction alone, quickly goes over my head tho -- http://gavwood.com/paper.pdf

SegWit will never work imo, it's antithetical to Satoshi's original vision, opens up new vectors of attack on the network. I hadn't heard of Schnorr Signatures before, but it seems to me to be more of a security feature to increase efficiency within the block chain, rather than a real scaling...

I think that's a pretty rosy view of where Bitcoin development is at right now, tbh, and Vitalik is definitely the most prolific developer. That said, the rest of the post is pretty spot on and precisely why I think ultimately Bitcoin will play a more niche role in the market compared to...

I'd get back in before Casper!

I don't know where you get that it's centrally controlled by a 23 year old. Sure, Vitalik plays a huge role in Ethereum development, but the Ethereum Foundation is solid, well funded, and the most focused development team in terms of scaling solutions. You're right it could end up in the...

I think Ethereum will come out of this really strong, but yeah everything else is a crap shoot imo. If I was trading crypto it'd definitely be to get more Ethereum.

It was just something that was recommended to me, is MariaDB that much better?

Also I'd like to get into the database side of things a little more, but I have very little experience with SQL. I'm hoping I can set up a little server here that I can fool around with, and I was thinking about loading up Ubuntu and PostgreSQL to get my feet wet, but I don't know if that's the...

Hey does anyone know about modern forum software? Is XenForo the bee's knees nowadays or is it still vBulletin?

You've never been a raid leader, huh?

It doesn't mean anything because "punishing mechanics" is undefined. What would you consider a punishing mechanic to be? And then if you did define it, explain the game world in which you've removed all these punishing mechanics. My bet is that it ends up sounding like a socially sterile...

This doesn't mean anything and is in fact impossible.

CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE SO WHY TRY??????? This is easily the single worst analogy I've ever seen. Fuck off, idiot.

Blizzard can't even make Diablo right anymore and they invented the goddamn genre, I'm not entirely sure anyone should be optimistic about Titan.

She had Aghanim's Scepter so the cooldown is like 30 seconds or something ridiculous, ult away on creeps. Mjollnir isn't bad on her, but people typically go for AC over it for the survivability increase, then follow up with a Daedalus. If she really did build a Battlefury that's pretty...

This argument is a load of shit, you even contradict yourself right there in same post. Outstanding. Blizzard doesn't always know what's best for the game despite whatever metrics they may have to go on, otherwise those Golden Lotus dailies would have never been implemented in the first place...

Well it's Origin only, so it's like if a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to see it...

His voice is really the only thing he has going for him right now. He has gotten better over the last 6 months or whatever he's been doing this, but Jesus, homeboy has a lot to learn to say the least. I think one of his huge problems is that he just never shuts the fuck up about whatever...

You could probably put that on a T-Shirt and make a few bucks, I think.

You're half describing an inaccuracy to get a point across that's retarded and contrary and makes 0 actual sense in the context of any sort of discussion on game design.What actually happenedduring Cataclysm is that Blizzard funneled a bunch of terrible baddies into content they weren't ready...

Pretty sure they're still losing subs there, slicknuts, probably because they can't think of anything past "MUST HAVE BADGES."

I walked into a room and your mom tried to hump my leg. What a scary bitch. The end.

Origin only, pass.

Just pretend you got attacked by a hog, everyone loves that shit and trust me -- pretending is way better than it actually happening.

The nostalgia argument is horse shit perpetuated by shitty idiot devs with their heads up their ass that think games back in the day were somehow not as good as the fetid piles of shit they're trying to fling at us now, when nothing could be further from the truth. WoW sucks now because the...

Yeah, his moveset isn't super deep, it's just super devastating since he isn't affected by boss damage reduction tables or whatever they are. Here's a pretty good cheesy way to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEp9xHU3qzo Btw, didn't they fix the arrow sploit ages back? I don't know.

It took me a long time to figure out the Hellkite Dragon, but once you do you can kill him 100% of the time at SL1 at 0 risk.

Yeah, Eyes would make a killer movie I think. I think film might actually enhance the story, I don't think King did a good enough job illustrating Peter's struggles.

I don't know how you could stomach playing KoA after having beaten Dark Souls.

Shredder came in the Legion Commander patch I'm pretty sure, which was like December 2011 or something? It's been about a year. Medusa's basically done, speculation about why she's not in yet includes talk of a remake in the next Dota patch, which should be out next week or so.

I can't honestly believe that "moderator" is a censored fucking word. Good lord.

Personally I've never been a big fan of dicks like some people around here are, but I've always been a big fan of laissez-faire moderation so I couldn't care less about it. On the bright side, seeing a bunch of comparatively tiny dicks posted makes me feel good. Ladies, my shit is huge, and...

I went over the timeline of rules, man. There were more dick days in Screenshots than there were not.

Ravvenn wasn't here back then. And yes, I know when your join date was.

Yes it does, because it wasn't. You're simply wrong. You may be misremembering it, or maybe you weren't here back then, but Screenshots was very much an anything goes place for a very long time. You can trust me on this, I'm not exactly a lurker in these matters you know. The pussy on the...
