After 10 blocks any transfered balance gets unlocked for spending. That means that a transfer is completed <em>at worst</em> within 6 minutes and the balance is being unlocked <em>at worst</em> after 24 minutes. This makes it faster than Instant-<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SEPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SEPA</span></a> which only has a 1 hour SLA.</p><p><code>3.</code> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Fungibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fungibility</span></a>: Like <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/cash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cash</span></a> all it's coins are equal, since they cannot be tracked.

Proof-of-work mining such as that used by Bitcoin, both solo and pooled, does not trigger federal securities laws, according to an SEC statement today. Mining operators do not need to register their transactions with the regulator.

Cоздание Приватной Сети Блокчейн на Go. Часть 1

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Олег, я работаю разработчиком в одной крупной IT-компании и недавно в разговоре со знакомыми логистами, я узнал, что у них в штате работает блокчейн-специалист. Для меня мир логистики был максимально далек от цепочки блоков, как и цепочка блоков от меня, поэтому я решил погрузиться в эту технологию. Прочитав множество статей и несколько книг, я выяснил, что теория с практикой идут рядышком, но понимание того, как же блокчейн работает на самом деле, не пришло, поэтому было решено создать что-то с нуля своими ручками. Нужно понимать, что между наработками, которые я буду рассматривать, и «настоящим» блокчейном есть большая разница: на ранних этапах разработки блокчейн-сеть может иметь низкую производительность, уязвимости и неоптимизированные механизмы консенсуса, которые улучшатся в финальной версии. Но в любом случае этот проект будет основан на ключевых принципах децентрализованных систем. Мой пост будет полезен для таких же новичков, как я, которые имеют некоторый опыт разработки, но с технологией блокчейн не были знакомы или слышали про него краем уха. В этой статье мы рассмотрим, как создать простую приватную сеть блокчейн с использованием языка Go.

I’ve always preferred Do First, Share Later.

So much self-promotion advice to help creatives gain an audience so you can sell your art/writing/creative work revolves around social media and the need for constant content to feed the algorithms.

Putting in all that promotion work of what you plan to do (and the constant feedback on something that’s not in its final form) AND doing the actual creative work gets exhausting. Also, if the feedback is negative, you can question what you’re doing and possibly abandon something wonderful.

Yet another reason I love Nostr - so many posts are sharing what folks have Done. 💜

A little story….

In the last two days I have moved my newsletter email list of 7000 people away from Aweber, a service similar to Mailchimp. They decided to match Mailchimp’s prices so my monthly bill jumped from $50/month to $130/month. That’s 160% increase, literally overnight!!

After a full rage quit, I briefly considered paying MailChimp, but its way too expensive, I don’t need any of the extra “features”, and the constant upselling is painful. So I decided to try and build something myself and eventually landed on Sendy, which I paid around $60 for, as a one-off licence payment.

After two days work, I now have a Sendy instance setup on my website subdomain and it sends the emails via AWS SES. I send about 3 email newsletters out per month, each one around 7000 emails. The first went out last night and the bill from AWS was $0.32. So my total monthly cost will be about $1, and I’m not paying for the number of ‘subscribers’. Compared to $130, that is a 99.23% saving!! Literally insane.

Proof of work and hosting your own shit wins again. It’s also a good example of where technology can be used for extortionate levels of value extraction, but also massive value gains if you do it yourself. I also pray for the day when self-hosting a cloud becomes much easier and more reliable so I’m not relying on Amazon (email) and Google (website, via an intermediary) to make this setup work.
