Re: I am Andrew Stone (theZerg) of Bitcoin Unlimited, AMA -- STARTS TUES DEC 8, 10AM

Elsewhere Andreas wrote this: I am not at all concerned about fragmentation of value. The market for digital currencies follows a power-law distribution (also known as a long-tail). Most of the value (90%) will be in 2-3 coins, with the other 10% divided among hundreds or thousands of coins. In fact...

Re: I'm Zane Tackett, Director of Community & Product Development at Bitfinex, AMA

Zane,

If you could wave a magic wand and instantly change one thing about bitcoin (or a related topic), what would that be, and why?

I'm intentionally being very open-ended with this question, but only asking that you single out something specific.

Appreciate your response!

Re: I'm Marek Palatinus (slush), creator of the first mining pool and creator of TREZOR. AMA - 3rd Dec!

Marek, 2 q's:

1. What are your thoughts on proof of work vs. proof of stake? Do you think Ethereum could develop a viable alternative to proof of work?

2. As someone in the industry, what are your primary news sources for Bitcoin/crypto, and why?

Appreciate your thoughts.

What are your thoughts on decentralized prediction markets? What would be the greatest hurdle to the adoption of this technology?

Re: I'm Andreas M. Antonopoulos, author of "Mastering Bitcoin", public speaker, podcaster and pundit. Ask Me Almost Anyt

We already have dozens of altcoins as competing money protocols to choose from, and today, bitcoin's politics could theoretically drive fragmentation of the wealth we see in bitcoin in many directions. I'm not sure whether market fragmentation would be a good or bad thing, given this early phase of ...

Re: I'm Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com: Ask Me Anything!

Thanks for joining Patrick, I'm fascinated by your ideas. My question: Not receiving my paycheck in Bitcoin is a barrier to me buying from Overstock with BTC. It's easier to keep BTC as savings in my case. So: how do you approach the challenge of the average joe having a steady stream of bitcoin, an...

Re: I'm Mike Hearn, creator of Lighthouse, bitcoinj and Bitcoin XT. Ask me anything!

On block size: when push comes to shove, companies like 21 inc and others might be in a position to broadly encourage bip101 via their hardware node/mining devices (hopefully many will own them). Generally, what thoughts do you have on the industry creating ecosystems that would naturally prefer/pro...

Re: I'm Bruce Fenton, Bitcoin Loving Techo-Econ Geek AMA!

Could you speak about barriers to Bitcoin adoption in emerging markets specifically, and how those barriers are being overcome. In other words, what have you seen in the works to help Bitcoin evolve from being merely a first-world toy, so to speak. I would guess the barriers are things like access t...
