Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a

Transaction Fee rework proposal

Reworking Bitcoin Transaction Fees

Transaction fees as they are currently implemented in the original Bitcoin code suffer from a few problems:

  • The rules are complicated and ad-hoc
  • Fees are hard-coded and do not reflect real costs
  • Adding fees to a transaction doesn't necessarily make it more likely the transaction will be confirmed more quickly.

I'm proposing changing the rules miners use to decide what transactions to include in their blocks, and changing the way clients tell users whether or not any particular transaction "needs" a fee to be confirmed in a reasonable amount of time.

xhr for dummies

So, you want to send a motherfucking XMLHttpRequest (XHR, or commonly and falsly known as AJAX.) Too bad, just ran out of motherfucking XMLHttpRequests; but I still have one regular. XHR is not magic. It does not autofuckinmagically send things the way you want them do be sent. It does not do the thinking for you. It just sends an Http Request.

You get a hold on such a prime beast like this:

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
