But its still the wrong explanation. Think about it: (i) Miners, not average users, hold the voting power. (ii) When the 1 MB block-size is congested (like it is now), miners make significantly more money on transaction…

User ruytlm has posted links to hacker factor blog, and it seems some sophisticated scanners (e.g., Eddie) were crashed by the exploit. In that blog the author postulates that Eddie is a nation-state level (not script…

Oh this seems quite an interesting experiment. Curious though if this defence poses no additional risks (beside bandwidth) on the server. I mean, is there any significant chance that the random data could cause a glitch…
Very interesting read indeed. I've a question about it; the article is about defeating malicious crawlers/bots affecting a TOR hidden service, so my question is, how might the author differentiate bot requests from…
Could the head be spoofed in such a way that the header says 1MB, or might the clients/bots be typically strict on ensuring header values are valid? I think your raised issue is important though, and any serious…
After searching the definition of one-time-pad, I'm pretty sure post is redundant and shall be deleted (in T-minus 2 minutes). [edit] No delete option. Mod please delete.

Hi Saurik, my reasoning was obviously not very well researched; actually I can see its a damaging assumption for the PR of jailbreaking when I (or the public in general) makes assumptions that jailbreaking is strongly…

You've been away from HN a few days? The SHA-1 collision example uses PDFs in its demo. Hence other commenter saying SHA 256
The most useful app on this hand-curated list has got to be "how many people in space right now". I mean, who knew it would be 6 ! /s /thread.
