Open source has as many flaws as any other code base, you just generally know about those flaws sooner.

The characters have been compared

sorry i'm just curious from a security perspective

Bitcoin doesn't really have anything to do with security per say.

The block chain is just a method of tracking transactions.

So it depends on what you mean by "secure".

Do you mean less likely to be stolen? no not really.

How do you get out of negative karma?

like can someone break the sha256 encryption to say dulicate a private key

like how people can brute force passwords

can you brute force private keys

Yes.

has that been done on bitcoin

I'm sure.

why is coinbase still in business

***CEASE YOUR SPAMMING IMMEDIATELY YOU INFIDELS!***

they own millions in btc

I know it's done on ethrium.

wouldnt they just attack coinbase btc

yes that was smart contract eth is PoS not PoW

See this is where the confusion comes in.

hmm yea. Different kinds of tech here

BTC isnt ETh

eth yea it's been attacked successfully

Yes it is.

They're the same tech.

no, PoS isn't the same as PoW

and you have DPoS

@Existence is identity convince reddit to let you sort by downvotes

none of them are the same

those are the comments I really want to see

you dont have voting on PoW

aka bitcoin

you do in DPOS

is there some userscript that does that

That's a process of droping new coins, but the core of the products is the same, for the purposes of the topic we're on.

well the core product isnt the same though either. say Bitshares is catered to exchanging other coins

bitcoin is a means of exchange... steem is social media....

on and on

For the purposes of the topic we're on they're the same.
