Thanks for pointing this article out, it really helped me in optimizing a pattern I'm developing to ensure agent context windows don't get bloated over time.

It really depends on your objectives. Just want to save some fiat? Go 85% BTC/15% ETH this way you can ride the BTC price rises and still enjoy xx% gains on ETH. Or you can do what the most opportunistic do and go 100% ETH and then diversify that into ERC-20 tokens built on top of the Ethereum protocol. Now obviously you should do your due diligence but hopefully this can give you some ideas.

Your probably looking for some working examples of dApps (decentralized apps). Install MetaMask for Chrome and visit one of these sites: http://etheroll.com, http://etherdelta.github.io, and http://oasisdex.com are all working examples of smart contracts at work.

People like to compare the two but they are actually quite different. Bitcoin is supposed to be a store of value, Ethereum is a new decentralized web protocol. ETH is the gas used to power smart contracts on this protocol.

A $195+ mistake by not triple checking your btc destination address, and the amount being sent is an expensive lesson to be learned.

I'm working on terms of service, and legal agreements API for websites, mobile apps, & SaaS products called CoContract.

You can track user acceptance, profile data, and versioning of your website's most common & critical legal documents all from one dashboard.

It's required to be legally compliant when doing business online and then to track and manage this over a long period of time can be tedious and disorganized.

We're making it easy for developers to easily add legal compliance in their software offerings.

There are 2.5 billion people in the world who do not have access to modern banking abilities vs. the 1 billion or so who do.

Remember when the merchant used to imprint the cc with receipt paper and sliding a pen over it to get the card imprint. My how time flies.

I for one will thank you for your admittance that marketing a product or service to a prospective target audience is indeed hard, and for along time here on HN, many would say oh your just the marketing guy what do you have to offer or bring to the table if it's not marketing and programming then why do I need you on the team? I'm just glad that both sides of the table are seeing that we should all work cohesively to our strengths to reach the end goal of a particular project or startup.

I wish I had looked more deeply into the protocol back when the 10k BTC pizza event had occurred.

This is like saying nana nana boo boo stick your head in doo doo. You can't run an illegal business and then vehemently flaunt it to a major news publication that gets read around the world essentially saying that your smarter than the government won't end well for anyone.

When will these be shipping?

Overall Andrew has done a awesome job, from just being a guy with a great idea and taking it to be the fastest growing company in history while inventing a new space is quite remarkable. I think everyone on this board would have liked to hit a homerun like this after only a couple hits at the plate.

I wish some of the "real" black hatters could come on here and speak. These guys are the ones putting together massive strategies/campaigns to rank across a wide variety of thousands of key terms. And there not writing about it. The techniques many people are talking about now were done maybe 2-3 years before this whole mess. They are so far ahead of what the "industry" is focused on it's not even funny.

I've been wondering the same thing. My assumption was that it was for new links so HN doesn't get spammed to death by offering do-follow links to new stories. Once the link has been vetted by the community only then does it go do-follow. But thats just my $0.02.

It always amazes me how a business can be built out of anything, "fork lift battery inventory" You just need to find a pain point.

I think the largest 3rd party insurance provider of mobile devices is Asurion.

I don't think that people are maliciously pushing your content to lower rankings. IMHO I think the amount of stories being submitted and actively voted on are whats pushing your content down further.
