P2P Oracle and Prediction Marketplace + Paul's Bitcoin Blog |
Hello! A project and a blog once lived here. Now, by popular demand, my project has changed its name to Hivemind and found a new home. (All old hyperlinks will continue to work.)
Still, this blog remains!
Consistently winning praise, retweets, and upvotes from Bitcoin Experts around the web, this blog is famous for getting the "last word" on topics such as:
- Why Proof of Stake isn't cheaper, and isn't better than Proof of Work.
- Why Smart Contracts are Bad for Bitcoin, but Oracles are Good, and How to Fix Smart Contracts.
- When blockchains are useful, from First Principles.
- Bitcoin and Deflation - Why the focus on macro is a waste of time.
- Fraud Proofs -- supposedly "impossible"!
- Decentralization - how to measure it and how to increase it.
- The best kind of privacy is also the simplest, and already availiable.
- ...and much more!
My interests are uses of P2P blockchain technology (ie, blockchains without a mailing address), and in how blockchain-users can resolve disputes over what the blockchain should contain or do.
Although most attempts to use Bitcoin beyond payments have failed horribly, I have my own non-Bitcoin Blockchain-project here!
Read my "modern" views on "Bitcoin Maximalism" (April 2018).
